... Christchurch is having a bit of a
culinary moment. There’s no doubt
about it, the city is coming alive with
new must-try restaurants and bars.
Those looking for a bite to eat and a cheeky beverage
in between shopping at The Crossing are now in luck. Fat
Eddie’s, Kong and Original Sin are now open for business on
The Terrace.
Fat Eddie’s, a boisterous Christchurch institution, is always
a good time. With live music and free-flowing drinks, it’s a
great place for a drink and a boogie. Sibling establishments,
Kong, a 1930s-themed cocktail bar, and Original Sin, known
for its small plates, are both worth a visit. Tamer than Fat
Eddie’s, they are intimate spots for a well-crafted drink.
Overlooking the Avon, you’ll want to grab a window seat
and settle in for some people watching.
It’s always a treat strolling along picture-perfect New
Regent Street, and Twenty Seven Steps is worth a visit.
Consistently voted one of Christchurch’s best restaurants,
this charming and relaxed venue serves rustic European
cuisine. The menu changes with the seasons, so I’m looking
forward to the superb local wines and fresh ingredients on
offer this spring.
Inati, known for exquisite shared plates, offers a completely
unique dining experience in Christchurch. While it appears
intimate from the outside, the seating can actually feel a bit
confronting as guests sit side-by-side in high stools facing the
shiny bronze bar. Inati’s well-considered wine list means you’ll
easily find a suitable red, wine or cheeky orange that perfectly
complements your dinner.
