Restaurant Poivré Sel Review

We had an amazing evening. All cooked to perfection, amazing range of French wines matched with each dish. Hope to go again next time we visit Napier.

This is a 10/10 french dining experience. The atmosphere, food & service was amazing. Definitely will be back.

Absolutely loved my dinner tonight. Lovely service, entree of Octopus was melt in the mouth; Main of Market Fish was sublime. Great additions were the amuse bouche and the homemade bread with the devine whipped butter. Cannot wait to come back. Napier little hidden gem in the cuisine scene!

Small exclusive menu, but you will find something whatever you like or not, what you get will be 11/10. Superb, wine match the same

Service no one smiled not a warm welcome food was very good but improve welcome

Just lovely. Small, very authentic. Run by a French couple. Delightful set price menu that changes monthly. Not over priced. Really, really, really lovely food, beautifully presented and with good, proficient, personal service. Interesting wine matches, if you want to. Bravo!

Incredible food! The most memorable meal we've had in ages.

This is the first time I have tried food set menus / degustation by high class chef. I guess it boils down to how much you may and what you expect. I wasn t sure what to expect. Reservations are a must.

The set course changes often. I started with the home made bread and butter and this was nice. With a mix of honey this felt different.

Then came the entrees and I can t remember their names but the soup was nice. The main was rib eye steak if I remember correctly. The dessert was stewed apple with chocolate n honey crumble I think. Apologies I can t. Remember the menu exactly. I didn t take the wine pairing but did have drinks. The total bill was 111$ for person.. I find that to be quite expensive. I would have expected to for it to b under 100$. If I remember correctly it was 80$ for a 3 course meal with no wine pairing and 120$ with wine pairing.

The ambience was nice and so were the staff.

Anyways this is a one off experience and provided you have a big budget especially if you are with family.. special occasions I would say.. the reason for 3 stars is due to the cost. Otherwise the food is definitely 4 - 4.5 stars for taste..

Have been twice now and both times were wonderful. Atmosphere is really nice and authentic, it's fancy but still friendly. Food is amazing, it's creative, gorgeous to look at and backed up by stunning flavours for all courses. Highly recommend!

Great atmosphere, great host, we had the main and dessert, definitely worth it. Presentation and taste was amazing. A wonderful experience and you definitely dont leave feeling hungry.
