Christchurch and Canterbury Restaurant Reviews

Christchurch's restaurants are increasingly sophisticated and diverse. There's an established Asian influence, both in restaurants devoted to specific countries' cuisines and in places that fuse Pan-Asian ingredients or techniques with New Zealand cooking. You can also find everything from Cajun to Indian. New Zealand cuisine is now a serious contender in its own right, blending the best fresh and local ingredients with Asian-Pacific tastes. Restaurants in the city are usually open every day; if they do close it is either Sunday or Monday. On Friday and Saturday it's best to reserve; otherwise, you should get a table without trouble. With the exception of the Casino, which has set rules on what not to wear, dress tends to be informal. Outside Christchurch, restaurants are more likely to close on Monday and sometimes Tuesday.
