Thread: Restaurant

Anyone in Christchurch suggest a Restaurant that serves a varity of food and has a bar, that is good, for a Christmas do, we don't eat out much, so help appreciated.

Google it mate, "good restaurants and bar near me"



I personally wouldn't go for #1 on top of the list because of the long que (there is no food worth a long wait)
#3 on the list or upward on the list usually works for me.

My wife likes the Garden Resturant (Buffet) so variety is pretty impressive. (Though like you we dont go out much) There is a bar in there for serving drinks to diners, but not a bar (like a pub) with leaners etc....

I enjoyed Lonestar last time we went there but I guess they are the same everywhere.....

Pretty much given up dining out in chch apart from. The local Indian. Most places are 2nd rate with high prices and even worse nothing but vege on the plate

There's plenty of good places in Christchurch and almost every one of them serves meat. Price wise, you get what you pay for.

El Quincho if you want heaps of meat. Tutto Bene is an awesome Italian restaurant

Thanks guys, reason asking is with diverse group of people, something that most people will eat.

My experiences with eating out and why we don’t is for 2 people spending north of 150 bucks.
A 6 pack, bottle of wine, and a power feed of salmon, chips mixed salad prawns, cheese, nuts etc , can easily be done for less, forgot the candle. Something that has P me off is the price of seafood, steak and the quality is rubbish, but to go to a restaurant and get the same, for top dollar, . At Christmas with family we each do what we want, some are vegan, some eat this but not that, I don’t suffer from all that, must be a Labrador.

Maybe you do want to try the Garden Resturant....$43-$48 per head for Dinner / evening or mid $30s per head for lunches. Prices vary a little depending on whether it is a Fri Sat for Dinner or Sat/Sun for lunch and a few bucks cheaper for gold cards...

Includes dessert and no waiting....if you want more of something.....or less....You only get a plateful of veges if you put them there..... And you are not pying for expensive tables, flash chairs or a chefs ego...

The Platform at Ohoka/mandeville on tram road is good, if you’re on the north side of Chch.

I don’t normally go to speights ale house but recently had a meal at the one in Tower Junction, and the food and service was good there too.

Welcome Ralfkin! You're a bit late to the party on this one! You didn't actually mention the name of the restaurant you were recommending, looking forward to hearing about it for next Christmas.

Also, would be good to hear a little bit about you in the intro section, like when you were last visited from the USA, and what you got up to when you were here.

Thanks!

@dannyb Ralfkin needs the boot I reckon...

Glad it's not just me @Ryan_Songhurst

I was trying to be polite, but... I am also a bit of a cynical bastard

And then poof !!! Just like that, he disappeared
