Great coffee, French staff. Lovely little fruit tartlets and free wi-fi. Also cheaper than most other places.

Favourite place in Rotorua for coffee or light lunch, and as locals we go here frequently. The BLT’s are the tastiest you’ll get anywhere. The crepes are cooked in front of you and are large, light and just delicious! A beautiful pain aux chocolat finishes it off to perfection. Very friendly owners and staff who always greet you with a... More

Off the beaten track, Cafe de Paris is run by a french woman who has made a little piece of Paris in Rotorua. Beautiful crepes, pastries, light meals and not with the inflated prices of the main strip. Open till late afternoon but maybe not at night? Check it out, my favourite find.

If you have time, indulge in the crèpes. I just had a chocolate croissant and a plain one, but the chef was making them to order and they looked incredible.

We love this cafe! They have the best croissants and it is always fun to try and remember the little bit of french we learned when we were kids.

Owned by a delightful couple from Lyon, I am taking back to France every time I visit Cafe de Paris. I live in Rotorua and this is one of my favourite Cafes - because of the owners, and the almonde croissants!

This cafe serves real food, for real people. It is my cafe of choice during my working week. It's centrally located near City Focus on Hinemoa Street. Although the clientelle seem to be older, I see this as an indication of the quality of food that is served. The staff are extremely friendly. A welcoming 'Bonjour!' when you approach the... More

A friendly little spot, filled with authentic French treats. Not a huge cafe, but it has lots of ambience. Always a nice place to visit.

For breakfast from the best, there is simply none better in Rotorua. Meals are fantastic, service has always been exemplery, I'd never go anywhere else unless their doors were nailed shut! Atmosphere, awesome. Staff,brilliant, warm and inviting. French food at it's very best. Breakfasts to savour for a whole day.
