Whether it’s date night, a catch up with the girls or an after work get together, there’s nothing quite like the sophisticated atmosphere of dining on The Terrace. Set along the Avon River, the many eateries and bars include some of the city’s very best.

Riverside Market
An indoor market set in the centre of the city, Riverside Market is one of Ōtautahi’s most loved foodie spots. With an array of passionate, local businesses, wander the stalls and soak up all the delicious delights. For an easy lunch on the go, choose from salad bowls from Herba Gourmet or fresh sandwiches from Bellbird Bakery. If the sun is shining, park up at one of the outdoor tables and dig into souvlakis from Dimitris Greek Food or a flavourful curry from Dosa Kitchen. Also don’t forget to head upstairs to
Kaiser Brew Garden, they took out the Supreme Award in the Hospitality Awards for Excellence.
New Regent Street
With its colourful, Spanish Mission style architecture, New Regent Street boasts an abundance of restaurants, vibrant bars and indulgent dessert spots. Go for fine dining or more casual eats, sip away at whisky lounge The Last Word or head straight for something sweet at Rollickin Gelato. If you nab a table outside you might even catch the tram running down the middle of the street. It’s as iconic to Christchurch as it gets!
The Tannery
On the fringe of the city sits one of the most unique places to find delicious food. The Tannery is set in a restored historic building that makes for a beautiful place to explore. Filled with boutique shops, cafes, and restaurants, grab a bite to eat in-between some retail therapy. A favourite spot is Cassels Brewery Bar & Restaurant, famed for its relaxed family friendly atmosphere, award winning craft beers and gourmet wood-fired pizza, or for quick and easy dining, head to the Dumpling Corner for handmade flavourful dumplings.
