Bistro Gentil - Wanaka

Lovely French restaurant on a hilltop. Probably our best meal in NZ. Energetic noise level vs. the quiet candlelight affair I would have expected. Our group had fun dining here enjoying thoughtfully prepared food and good wine. I didn’t pay the tab so I can’t comment on value but this is probably considered a fine dining experience in Wanaka. There’s enclosed patio at the front of this restaurant. I’d try to get a seat in there next time, better views. Service was very attentive. All 12 of us enjoyed everything we ordered so it’s hard to say what I’d recommend after only a single visit but there’s a goof chance you’ll find something good on the menu when you go. And you should go

What a place!.... everything about this place was amazing, could not fault it. Service was outstanding, with no waiting to be served drinks, and waitresses were always ready and available. The food was delicious and plentiful. The bathrooms had single-rolled hand towels to wipe hands with. And to top it off the view of the lake. Could not fault this place at all.

Excellent food, atmosphere and team, would wholeheartedly recommend a visit

I can't fault BG in any way. Service was awesome and friendly. We sat in the patio area. What a view and atmosphere. Food

This has been a must do every time we visit Wanaka. Usually for one of our birthdays. It has always provided great cuisine and very consistent top level of service. Between the 4 of us we ordered a wide array of options on the menu and they were all very good. Great wines too.
