Ashburton​のベストフランス料理レストラン

Beautiful setting, exceptional food and attentive staff. Highly recommend James Said Bistro.

Christmas lunch - and what a scrumptious lunch the three of us had. The freshest, tastiest oysters, the most delicious thymey terribe, a generous charcuterie board, home made breads, and salmon tartare - sooo good. There was plenty of choice for all food preferences. Our mains of duck breast, beef fillet and scallops were all perfectly cooked and presented followed by an amuse bouche that was both tangy, sweet and very refreshing. Daughter and I opted for creme brulee which was perfect - not too rich or sweet, silky smooth with its glowing toffee crust. Husband had the apple and blueberry crumble which he declared to be “yummy”. All with friendly service. A lovely lovely team who gave up their Xmas day to provide a memorable meal and day for us. Thank you so much, and thank you to the chefs, kitchen crew - and to the awesome magician who provided great tricks and laughs.

Another excellent night at Bancho (our second visit this week) It is our favourite restaurant for special celebrations as well as a quite night out. The food, staff and wine/sake/cocktails are first class. Thank you for looking after us so well.

Delicious food cannot fault! Oysters were fresh, the anchovies and lobster rolls are delicious. Kingfish crudo was the best I’ve had. All steaks and chips delicious and beautiful sauces, Merci!

Attentive, Excellent service. Great food Will definitely be back!
