Best French Restaurant
Poivre et Sel
Samuel & Severine Goslin, French husband & wife, have decided to start a new life in New Zealand with their two children, Morgane & Mathis in 2011. After a few years of working and living in different regions of the country, in 2015, they have created Poivre et Sel to bring a little piece of France in Aotearoa. They have recently chosen to install their romantic restaurant on the iconic Marine Parade in Napier in one of the Six Sisters buildings, the ideal edifice to create the glam touch they love to provide.
They offer a good selection of regional wines but the French wines are the most successful. Poivre et Sel is a small family restaurant, offering a unique tasting menu which changes weekly according to the season and the market. Each dish is paired with a French wine for customers who desire it. A la carte wines are also available.
They are looking forward to make your dinner memorable.

French Kiss Wellington
French Kiss Creperie adventure started 2,5 years ago when Pierre Emmanuel (French living in New Zealand since 2016 as engineer) met Charly who suggested the idea of bringing french cuisine in New Zealand malls.
After few months the idea became reality at Queensgate shopping center in Lower Hutt (Wellington region) where they have open their first shop in June 2019.
Even tho they didn’t expect this mondial pandemic which affect a lot of businesses especially in hospitality, French Kiss Creperie is running and now becomes the local desert place to be in Lower Hutt.
They offer a range of yummy sweet and savory crepes (galettes) and our focuses are:
- To promote local suppliers (eggs, honey, ham, fruits and veggies…), even their packaging supplier is based in Lower Hutt
- To challenge Kiwis and get them to try the savory galettes following our typical Brittany recipe
For all Wellington region inhabitants or travelers, come to visit their kiosk and try one of their crepes!
