This place is truly excellent. The food was sublime. Great wine list, including from the wine bar Downstairs (downstairs - also good). Really nice people. Great vibe and buzz. We were lucky to get a walk in so recommend a reservation. Not to be missed if you’re a foodie and in Christchurch.
This was my first dinner during my vacation in Christchurch, and it was absolutely fantastic. The staff were incredibly warm and friendly, and the food was delicious. A perfect dining experience, I'm really happy.
Fabulous evening dining with friends. We all ordered the Canterbury beef fillet which was cooked to perfection. Lovely vegetables and potato done in duck fat. Highly recommend this dish. Good selection of drinks, staff know their wines. Lovely atmosphere.
Wednesday night walk in for one. The restaurant was busy but they had a spare table for me. Complementary bread and butter and a beer was all I needed for an entree. Venison rump with a glass of Craggy Range for dinner - very tasty and right sized. Staff were all attentive and friendly. Great atmosphere, funky fitout, convenient location, cool vibe. Loved it, definitely recommended and look forward to visiting again.
We had such a great experience for our New Year’s Eve dinner that we came again for my father in-law’s birthday! The set menu for New Year’s Eve was absolutely delicious! We had the same waitress both times and she made the experience exceptional (her name is Janice from Germany-sorry for not spelling her name correctly). She is a rockstar! When we came for the regular menu, and everything tasted so good! It is a very unique restaurant and wish there were more like this! (The 200 g Canterbury beef fillet is a must! The homemade bread is delicious and so is the soup special)
This was our first visit to Twenty Seven Steps. We went for dinner on a week day. All in all, it was a wonderful experience. We started with a drink ‘Downstairs’ (that’s the name of the place!) before heading up. The restaurant was absolutely full, which shows its popularity. Between three of us, we shared two starters and two mains. Everything was delicious and well presented. The flavours were quite different to the ordinary. We loved all the dishes. We finished our evening with one dessert shared between three. Highly recommended. I will be happy to dine here again.
I went to Twenty Seven Steps for dinner on a Saturday night and arrived with already high expectations, but my expectations were well and truly surpassed! The restaurant has a fantastic location in the heart of New Regent Street, with huge windows looking out over the beautifully illuminated Spanish Mission buildings and all the action on the street below. Complimentary house bread was quickly served and I started with the "Miss World" cocktail, which expertly paired the bitterness of the gin with sweetness from the Campari, vermouth and pinot noir. For a starter I chose the tempura harissa cauliflower. Whilst all the dishes were spectacular this would have to be the standout, it was just so surprising! The cauliflower was super crispy and paired well with the peanut chilli oil and almond and garlic aioli. For my main course it wouldn't be a trip to Aotearoa without venison, so I went with the Tai Tapu venison tenderloin. Served blue, rare or medium rare, I went with medium rare and it was still super tender and flavourful. It paired well with the confit potato and seasonal vegetables. The recommended wine pairing, a Mount Edward Pinot Noir from Central Otago was an inspired suggestion. For dessert I had the sticky date pudding and a glass of Mazuran's Special Reserve Port, a sweet finish to a perfect meal. Service was excellent, the staff are all really friendly and welcoming and know the menu well. Didn't feel at all pretentious as some establishments do; it was still casual and welcoming, which was something I noticed when they were describing the specials and went into detail on what some of the lesser known items actually were. Timing on each course was perfect as well, didn't feel rushed at all. All things considered I think the prices were very reasonable. Would recommend Twenty Seven Steps for visitors and locals alike!
The best dinner for our last night in Christchurch. We ordered the pork belly appetiser off the specials menu and it was melt in your mouth divine. The lamb is a must try - probably the best lamb dish I’ve ever had.
Absolutely amazing! We had our last diner in Christchurch in this amazing restaurant and it did not disappoint! Lovely place with great atmosphere, the staff is super nice and you are welcomed with the most amazing homemade bread that is soooo good ! We had some dishes to share and we loved every single bite! Thanks for making our last night in Christchurch so special! The street where the restaurant is at is also so nice and unique very nice that we had a table at the window to see the fun architecture and rainbow lights !
One of the best in Christchurch. Booking is highly recommended. We ordered their lamb rack and venison. Both dishes were cooked faultlessly, they are complete meal too. We were served with their complementary entree - pumpkin bread, which was very tasty.
