Hugo
The elegant room, styled after a modern Parisian bistro, overlooks the bustling riverside. The French chef serves authentic cuisine from her home country, underpinned by solid, modern techniques and crafted with cherry-picked New Zealand ingredients. The menu changes with the seasons; it may include her signature flank steak and silky crème brûlée with crunchy caramelised topping. Also check out the predominantly French wine list.
