We came here to celebrate a special occasion (my birthday) and The Little Bistro did not disappoint. The place is tiny so booking ahead is virtually essential. The tables were small, the lighting was dim and the atmosphere was unpretentious. All of these were good things which helped the overall dining experience.
Upon arrival we were greeted by the owner(?),...

We'd wanted to try this restaurant for some time, as we had read some great reviews. We finally got the opportunity last Friday. We were told we had to arrive at 8pm. The restaurant was empty when we arrived. We ordered, and within minutes a party of around 12 people arrived, completely taking over the restaurant. It would have been...

Food was fantastic and good value as well considering the quality of it. Service was good but it felt like they were juggling quite a lot and the table was a bit small. Only being picky really. We loved our evening and would come back again!

We did our NYE dinner here and were really happy we did. The food is phenomenal - creative, tasty, fresh and of good quality. The place is small, cosy and comfortable. You MUST have at least one meal here if you're in Akaroa. Reservations are a must. There are two seatings.

This restaurant would be my top choice in Akaroa. The food is faultless and for good reason, it is always popular.

Visiting from Australia. The Little Bistro was recommended to us (by our motel) and it certainly did not disappoint. As the name implies, this is a small restaurant located in the main street of this delightful French village. The food is simply to die for. Pan cooked local fish, risotto, rich chocolate desert - all superbly presented and with explosions...
