Asian fusion dining is booming in Christchurch, and it’s easy to see why.
By blending bold flavours and culinary techniques from across Asia, chefs are creating vibrant, flavoursome dishes that cater to a wide range of tastes and dietary needs.
Whether you’re after a quick lunch, a pre-show dinner near the Town Hall, or a restaurant worthy of a special occasion, The Dish on Montreal Street has become a firm favourite.
Owner Mon Thirawongpaisal says his focus is on “good, honest food made fresh”, and the glowing five-star reviews suggest diners agree. The yellowfin tuna salad is a standout. “Yellowfin tuna is packed with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants,” Mon explains. “We pair it with Asian greens and lemongrass, making it both a healthy and flavourful choice.”
Other menu highlights include beef cheek aromatic massaman curry, kung pao tofu, wok-fried battered monkfish with lemongrass, spinach and green beans, and roasted duck with a mandarin sauce.
Beyond food, The Dish is known for its warm service and a relaxed, stylish atmosphere. Treat yourself to a specialty cocktail, linger with friends and family, or book catering for your next celebration, call 03 925 9787.
