Overview

Origine combines classic French cuisine with a modern Kiwi approach. Origine (pronounced Ori-gene) is the brainchild of acclaimed chef and restaurateur Ben Bayly and wife Cara, and Ahi's Chris Martin and French-born wife, Lucile Fortuna. Opening in the former Saxon + Parole site in Auckland's Commercial Bay, the ambiance of the space and location lends itself perfectly to the large French bistro the couples envisioned. Origine is a modern French restaurant with a relaxed New Zealand atmosphere, an intersection of classical French cuisine.
