The buffet at the Sequoia Restaurant in
The Redwood is an all-time favourite with
Christchurch people and visitors to the city,
who come to enjoy the huge selection of
food and the warm, friendly environment.
There is something for everyone here. This
is a great place for families to eat and have
fun together. Children don’t have to wait for
the food to arrive and they can eat just what
they like.
Chef Ryu, who is from the Philippines, has
years of experience cooking in restaurants.
He was a Head Chef in his hometown
of Manila for 20 years. After arriving in
Christchurch more than six years ago, Ryu
worked at La Porchetta, and then as a sous
chef at The Old Vicarage in Halswell, before
gaining the role of Head Chef at Sequoia.
Since starting there in early 2016 he has
made huge improvements to the quality and
deliciousness of the food. He takes great
pride in the fact that the dishes are made in
the kitchen from wholesome ingredients.
No MSG is used.
About half the dishes are gluten free plus
there are dairy-free options. “Come for a
treat or come for a healthy meal. The choice
is yours,” Ryu says.
Ryu has also added many choices to the
buffet selection, including the national
Filipino dish, Adobo, made with pork. The
style of cuisine on offer ranges from European
to Asian, Mediterranean to American, and he
gets much of his inspiration from reading
recipes and watching reality TV shows such
as Master Chef.
The customer favourites such as the roast
meats on the carvery, sweet and sour pork
and butter chicken are still there, along with
the beef stroganoff, vegetarian lasagne,
seafood, salmon, chicken pesto pasta and
fresh salads.
The dessert section is amazing!
This has lately been enlarged, with new
desserts added. Cheesecake, banoffee
pie, mini pavlovas, sticky date pudding,
chocolate brownie with chocolate ganache
and raspberry compote are just some of
Chef Ryu checks on the buffet.
the desserts you will find on the buffet – all
decadent and gorgeous!
