A feast of festive indulgence: Crowne Plaza’s Market Place Restaurant

This Christmas Day, indulge in flavours like never before.

Executive Chef Ritvik at Market Place Restaurant, inside the Crowne Plaza, has crafted a buffet that blends much-loved classics with exciting new offerings. The menu features sage and onion stuffed turkey, whole-baked Akaroa salmon, honey-glazed ham, and roasted Canterbury lamb, among other delights. For a touch of indulgence, this year’s menu also includes truffle-rubbed Angus ribeye and a chocolate fountain for dessert lovers.

A Garden City favourite, the annual Christmas Day event at Market Place has, for many years, welcomed 300-350 guests for lunch or dinner, with tickets selling out each year. Enjoy the festive ambience with live piano music from Peter Lewis, who will perform throughout the day. The restaurant will be beautifully decorated for the festivities, creating the perfect setting to relax and celebrate with loved ones.

Prices are $209 per adult and $99 per child, which includes a complimentary glass of bubbly on arrival. Bookings are essential, and spaces are limited, so don’t miss out on a truly memorable Christmas celebration. Whether you join for lunch or dinner, Market Place Restaurant promises a day filled with delicious food, festive cheer, and lasting memories.
