The kitchen at Fisherman's Wharf takes a classic fish‑and‑chips path and lets the food speak. Views add a quiet lift to the visit. Grill work shows a clean sear and rested meats. Fish lands crisp with light batter and chips stay tidy. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy.
Good food and drinks. Attentive service and nice view of the wharf. Ordered the seafood sizzling plate and the blue cod in cajun style. Sizzling plate comes with sides which include the fragrance white rice, probably cooked with coconut milk, giving an aromatic experience in your mouth.
Scroll of Lyttelton Wharf – The Fisherman’s Place At the harbor’s edge, the fisherman’s wharf awakens. Here the sea gives its bounty, and the hands of locals turn it into feast. The food is hot, fresh from the tide, each plate a hymn of salt and labor, each flavor a blessing of the waves. The scenery is grand— ships resting in calm waters, hills rising like guardians, the harbor shimmering with light. The weather is gentle, kind upon the skin, a breeze that carries laughter and the scent of ocean harvest. This is the fisherman’s place, a popular gathering, where locals and travelers alike taste the sea’s story. Not just a meal, but a communion— between land and water, between labor and joy, between community and creation.
We went on a rainy day - so perhaps not the best day for a review. Staff were great and quick. Quite alot of seafood options and good tasting menu. Not a bad place for dining options in a group setting. Plenty of booze options available too.
It did not disappoint. Food was great. Everything was just so fresh. My favorite was the salmon risotto. The view is stunning. Everyone was just so polite. We will definitely be back to try more from their menu.
I have read so many positive reviews about this restaurant so dined there this evening. The team were very friendly and I had the blue cod. Very nicely presented and so delicious. Salad was very nice too.
Seafood is fresh and presentation is good. The seafood like squid and mussels on the sizzling plate are over cooked so that was our only disappointment. Limited parking but road side parking is available.
Food is great, service is terrific especially the waiter who serves us is excellent. We book a table of 9 and bring our own birthday cake to celebrate my son’s 20th birthday. We had a great time that night.
The sizzling seafood plate is really good and the seafood chowder is a dream. Do yourself a favour and not order the smaller sized one. The food were really delicious. Even the cheeky seagulls stand around there and hope for food.
Food was amazing. I had the steak cooked medium rare and it was perfect as were the chips, onion rings, salad and mushroom sauce. My husband had the seafood basket which he said was fabulous. He’d been wanting a seafood platter/basket since we arrived in NZ and this hit the mark. Friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere. Was a little chilly in the enclosed area outside, but nothing a coat didn’t fix. Definitely recommend.
