We came here because the owner of Straight 8 vineyard Mary told us we should visit. She's right, the food is definitely yummy, and we enjoyed various wine flights. Love the atmosphere. Service is great.
This is a great wine bar. The flights are carefully selected and the wines are good (perfect for someone who was hoping to explore, as I was, a selection of NZ wines from across the country). The food was excellent: we shared 4 starters (hummus, asparagus, ceviche, charcuterie) + 1 cheese and that was more than enough for 2. The place has a really nice vibe! Thank you,
If in Christchurch, you can’t miss out on this place. Not only it is located in one of the most picturesque places in town, but it is actually really good. Plenty of wines to choose from, and delicious food to pair it with. Music was great and service as well.
We absolutely love it here and find ourselves coming back time and time again. The food is consistently outstanding - full of flavour, beautifully presented, and clearly crafted with care. I had been looking for a fondue option recently and was thrilled to see this on the menu and the venison main we had was tender and flavoursome. The service is equally exceptional, with staff who genuinely go the extra mile with thoughtful attention to detail. Set within the stunning architecture of the Arts Centre, the atmosphere is hard to beat. When the weather allows, we always opt to sit outside to soak up the charm of the surroundings and enjoy a bit of people-watching. The wine flights are a highlight and an excellent way to sample a thoughtfully curated selection of beautiful wines, and great value too and the full wine list is extensive and always delivers something new to discover. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates great food and wine, warm service, and a setting that feels truly special.
We had a wine flight and selected a glass each from that, and a couple of shared plates. An absolutely fantastic Sunday afternoon. Pleased we booked, it was busy.
Love stopping by the Cellar Door for some wonderful food or to try a thoughtfully curated wine flight. Not sure what the last two reviewers are on about as the staff are extremely professional and knowledgeable and there are definitely signs posted all around that ask you to wait to be seated. If you’re wanting to check it out I highly recommend making a booking so that you don’t miss out on getting a table as they are quite the popular spot (and rightly so!) Can’t wait to return again soon!
Beautiful setting food was good and presentation awesome. We had the lamb flaps and hummus for entree, flavors where great. Venison main was delightful. The cauliflower main was under whelming though I was expecting something amazing for the price considering it was just cauliflower. Service was ok, we felt that we were being rushed. We were expected to know what we wanted to drink within a minute of sitting down. I politely informed staff I'll choose my wine when I have decided on my dinner options. Why they were in such a rush we are not sure, as we had booked a two and a half hour slot,so we could enjoy our meal and wine, without rushing before going onto the Great Hall for a play. Dessert Apple Tarte Tatin was to die for. Funnily it was the only time we were not being rushed ( might have been because it took 25min to prepare). Our wine was the Pegasus MAESTRO Merlot Malbec. Which I might say is highly recommend.
Really amazing place for a date or a chill evening tasting wines. Top notch great selection of cheeses and the wine flights are unique and really let you try a range of wines depending on your taste. The only let down was the sweet corn hummus, the flavours come together to create something quite boring. Will be back to try the mains one day soon!
Incredible wines, creative food and very friendly staff. This place should be an essential stop for anyone in Christchurch and would be my local hang if I lived here. The best wine tasting experience I've had in NZ
