Bistro La Poste

A perfectly balanced forkful of French opulence, Bistro La Poste is bringing the joy of the Côte d'Azur and fine dining to idyllic Devonport.

Taking pride and place in the historic post office, this bistro is as pretty as a picture. Who wouldn’t be drawn in by its mellow yellow walls and charming European canopy? Inside its charm multiplies with a smart dining room, sun-filled corners and a gorgeously Mediterranean patio that whisks you away to the heady romance of the South of France. You’ll be head over heels in no time.

And the visual feast doesn’t end with the décor. Where the plates are akin to works of art, you'll find they’re almost too good to eat! However, take a mental picture and give those tastebuds what they’ve been waiting for. The starters embrace full-bodied flavour with sumptuous duck croquettes, Japanese-inspired salmon parfait and South Island squid with a range of innovative accompaniments.

The mains throw the spotlight on NZ produce with the Waikato ribeye, best enjoyed with a deeply seductive Bordelaise sauce, the Cambridge duck breast with juicy vegetables and Hawke’s Bay lamb rack with comforting parsnip and a wintery tarragon pesto. And for that irresistible crack you couldn’t do better than a crème caramel. Who else is swooning?
