Top 30 Best Restaurant in Christchurch

“This was an outstanding experience. From the food to the staff, an entirely enjoyable dining experience. Our host, Ryan, was welcoming and knowledgeable ready to help with accommodating us in a busy restaurant with an intimate understanding of all the menus and refreshment options available. At the bar James was constantly making incredible cocktails. My wife and I shared a cured king fish starter followed by the brazed lamb shoulder with the beef fried potatoes and cos salad. This turned out to be a delicious journey with a light and tangy start followed by rich lamb, crunchy potatoes and zesty salad all matched with a beautiful point noir that balanced the lamb superbly. One of the best dining experiences I have had for a fair old while. Thank you Ryan, James and team, we were extremely satisfied with everything we experienced.”

“10/10 plants decor. The place looks amazing and so were the accompanying coffee and food. The owner was also super friendly and made me felt very welcome during my visit. I think it's a perfect place for a catch up. Also attached isna co-working space which looks cool but I didn't get to see.”

“Great creative acting/performance space. Looking forward to Directing Christchurch's original and historic Parker/Hulme Murder in 1954 here. Don't miss it!”

“Delicious food and great service. We visited Bison BBQ as a group of 6 and absolutely loved it. The team are amazing and the food is great. Try the brisket!!

“Lovely little local pub. Delicious pizza ( we had the pear and walnut one) and a great selection of beers. Extremely dog friendly, with snacks and lovely vibes from the staff.”

“Absolutely delicious ice cream and the kids loved the swings. Best espresso ice cream I've tried, the mint was a natural taste without being sickly, and the only problem with the pav one was I was too late and didn't get the best bits. Need to go back and try again.”

“Thank you so much Burger Fuel Rolleston, we had a wonderful experience at your business this evening, professional service and impeccable delicious burgers. Our night started out horrible at another eatery, having walked out on that business which we had been visiting for a couple of years. Your team showed my family what brilliant service looks like. We felt valued, and like we were the only people in your business. Thank you very much.”

“Honestly the best service I have ever gotten from a restaurant. The staff here really go above and beyond to make sure all your needs are met and will work harder than any other store to make sure you have an unbelievably amazing time. They care for you as a customer and it really shows in their performance, especially when you have a special request. They go out of their way to really make sure you leave smiling.”

“Professional team! It was great to have Chest-Astig serve us on our wedding day. They are full of advice and ideas to help you and make your occasion extra special. We took them on board as we wanted to have our catering with a unique style and not just typical Filipino wedding dishes. We have received many compliments about how they enjoyed the food, especially their canapés. Fast and on time! Delicious food! Highly recommended. Thanks, Chef-Astig!”

“A beautiful place to stay with a boarding house feel. Very helpful hostess with lots of local info. Be sure to try her home-made black garlic mustard!”

“Amazing food, I would say the best Asian food in Christchurch. The meals are fully of veggies and heaps of tofu! I usually avoid Chinese restaurants due to past places being oily and not authentic tasting, I can say I definitely do not avoid Welcome Chinese, fresh, tasty and light! The tofu salad was so good!”

“Great place to have brunch and coffee, hidden and cozy, staff super friendly! Highly recommend.”

“Great central location with an easy walk to many highlights of the city, especially New Regent St for coffee, gelato and dining. Warm comfortable suite with everything we needed for a 5 day staycation. Beautiful building and lively atmosphere out front was always a great welcome home. Communication from Zeenie & Sarah was exceptional given unexpected change in travel plans. Would definitely book again.”

“Great place, very friendly man running the place! The food was very tasty and seemed pretty healthy. Usually falafel is dry, but this place served some that was both fluffy and juicy. Yum! The lamb iskender is very tender, with wonderful spices. Why not have your dinner made by a man who has cooked dinner for Prime Ministers?”
