BEST cafe in Wairarapa!Beautiful Food, beautiful place!We dropped by this gorgeous place and after experiencing the incredible food (try the pastries- all of them! And French onion soup), coffee, service and environment we feel this is the BEST cafe in the Wairarapa, but don’t take my word for it- go try it out for yourselves 😉
Had a birthday lunch for my 88 year old mother – had booked earlier and nothing was too much trouble. We had a lovely table by the window dressed with tablecloth and flowers. The food was gorgeous and the desserts heavenly. Even came away with free treats from the bakery. Great service and a charming host. Would definitely come again.
Lovely hidden secret in Carterton. Truly authentic French, with the best pastries outside of France. Loved our visit to this little treasure in small town New Zealand
Mirabelles is a good restaurant – an important part to Wairarapa’s food scene. Without it the area would be much diminished. Unlike anywhere else significant in the Wairarapa, Mirabelles is based upon French Bistro cuisine. As such, and like French bistro in general, Mirabelles is not perfect, but it is very good. It has a lovely warm, slightly quirky atmosphere, a Maitre’d (and cook’s husband) perfect for the job, it is perfectly cosy in the evening and it is probably a good idea to book.Ive been perhaps five or six times and each time thought that the food isn’t perfect, its not attempting to be, but is good French-based cooking that is comforting, honest and homely. Its not fussy, overworked or pretentious – just good food.I remember some wines – French oddities recommended by the Maitre’d that were entirely appropriate, I remember his daughters who served – with beautiful names, and I remember his wife, the cook, very occasionally visible through the kitchen door on whose skill Mirabelle’s relies. This is a good restaurant and Carterton is lucky to have it.
Superb! Haven’t had a meal this beautifully French since France! Wow. Loved the rilletes (de canard), confit duck and gâteau au chocolat! Mocha was beautiful, water was cool and crisp, service was great too. Wow!
If your the type of person who is badly upset if the forks and spoons don’t match, the chairs are not all identical or having different plates then you will struggle.If instead you about the food, atmosphere and a place where you get real enjoyment from a host that has personality, a chef with passion and excellent coffee that is hot, deserts that are stunning and a flamboiement experience you will enjoy.The Cassole is excellent, as is the beef bourguignon and pate’s. Even if your not a french food lover this is an excellent place as the European cuisine excels, but may make you very critical of other cafes who fail to measure up.
C’est tres magnifique! This café is a wee gem!The food is sublime and the coffee is delicious. I love the funky décor of retro mirrors which adorn the walls. The chef is a Frenchman who makes food to die for. This is a hugely popular, busy little place and no wonder. Top marks!
