Ponsonby’s newest cafe is for lovers of all things French!
La Cantine du Torchon is located at the ‘Three Lamps’ end of Ponsonby Rd.
It was opened on 9 December 2009, by the wonderfully talented owners of both ‘Pastis’, and ‘Torchon French Creperie & Cafe’ in Auckland City.

For the one person who wrote a reviez before…without even been there. If you call a French restaurant on 14th July at 7PM and ask for a table, what do you expect??? Did you try the other French restaurants as well? Im sure you would have had the same answer: it’s full!
Anyway, I’ve been to la cantine du torchon a couple of times for lunch. It’s a small but nice place. I liked that the waiters were French (and the chef seemed to be too, but cant guarantee that). Being French myself, there’s nothing that upsets me more than “French restaurants” where no-one is French/speaks French.
Nice place if you want a quick lunch, I don’t know about diner. It’s more crepe style than anything else, and if you want to impress your partner, I’d recommend Pastis instead, but overall it’s a nice place to go.
(If you want to go there for the 14th July or another important day for the French, maybe call them a few days before, not minutes before!!!!)

Did you eat at this restaurant? Have an opinion to share?





The food was delicious, ( i am craving to return) and authentic. The service was warm and friendly and everyone spoke French and English.The atmosphere was vibrant and casual. It is one of my favourite places for genuine French cuisine.I really recommend you go there.
