French cuisine restaurant in Christchurch

“Good selection of food, attentive staff and prompt service. Worth a visit. Will visit again soon ❤️”

“Had a great experience at Quartz. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. The beef burger was a good size, not quite enough salt for me, but there were salt and pepper grinders on the table so it was no problem to season. My partner loved the prawn curry and our daughter though the chicken burger was great too.”

“The food was delicious. I had hare and my wife had fillet steak. The service was great. Ryan and the other waiter were very helpful, attentive and polite - great service! This is our second time at this restaurant and we will be back again and have already recommended to friends.”

“Honestly don’t know what all the people on here are talking about, we went in tonight for dinner and had the most amazing service. Our waiter Eddie was absolutely amazing, great energy, playful jokes and some amazing service. He made the entire experience enjoyable. On top of that the cocktails and food were 10/10 I got the steak burger and it was huge!!!!! I was struggling to fit it all in my mouth but it was worth it cause the flavours were just phenomenal. Definitely recommend popping in here and having dinner it’s a great spot”

“Very delicious food, after looking for an authentic Turkish restaurant we finally landed on one that was very much tasty. Would highly recommend people to go here, friendly chef, clean and spacious area. Definitely worth your money. By far best food we have had in Christchurch since coming here for a Holiday.”

“Went on Sunday for my wife's birthday, not too busy at 6pm, friendly staff, price was a bit high (but not too bad) and the food was delicious. I had the three sausage meal which was good, my wife had the pork belly which was beautifully tender (the crackling was very salty but when drunk with the suggested cider was just right).”

“GREAT PLACE TO EAT!! LOVELY STAFF, FOOD IS GREAT BANG FOR YOUR BUCK AND MY SON LOVED MIGLING WITH SOME OF THE OLDER PEOPLE WHO ARE REGULARS THERE. A++++”

“Delicious food. Very Nice Italian ambience. We ordered Antipasti Plank and the assorted cheese blends well with green olives and the saltiness of the capers. Mains are very delicious. We enjoyed our Porchetta and Lasagna. All good and we surely come back in the future. Thanks, Hanneke and the rest of the team.”

“We devoured the chicken skewer with naan and lamb shank meal. The meal came with salad, garlic and mint dip. Ordered chicken curry as well (that tasted nothing like Indian curry), that was so good. The doogh though, is worth the extra mention. Doogh is the version of laban or ayran to some countries / cultures. A must try! We went back a week later to satisfy another bout of craving.”

“This is absolutely a hidden Gem that in Christchurch. I would say golden boat is one of the best Hong Kong restaurants in NZ. Love it! Highly recommend spring roll. So gorgeous”

“The food was delicious and outstandingly well prepared. We had 11 out of the 17 menu items, every one of them was delicious and full of flavor. The person who was serving us made our visit the best and exciting with every plate she served us. Will go back every year we are scheduled to pickup cargo. Awesome food and wonderful atmosphere.”

“Always a pleasure to dine at Lone Star, the Redneck ribs is always a favourite. My son loves to order it all the time. Staff are hospitable, smiling, lovely customer service. In between 3 weeks of dining, the menu has changed and the slaw is additional $5 to your meal. Regardless of, I still enjoy my meal without the slaw, as the first round of dining it has no flavour at all.”

“We celebrated an anniversary here and trusted the chef. Couldn’t have asked for a better evening. From the moment we walked in, the attention to detail throughout the service was fantastic. The food was incredible. A well put together seasonal menu. We both left full and completely satisfied. Perfect intimate setting in an upstairs area. 5 stars well deserved. Can’t thank the team enough for making our evening special. We will not be forgetting our meal anytime soon!”

“Wonderful Sri Lankan restaurant. One of our favourite spots. The dishes are large enough for sharing by two adults. Lump rice is my usual order, but everything we tried so far was very good. Not for those that can't handle spice, though.”

“Delicious! Smash Browns and Chicken Fenders were very tasty and addictive. We felt they were perfectly seasoned, though some might find them a tad too salty depending on your preference. There are plant-based vegan and vegetarian options too. Great for a quick bite before or after flights or while waiting for your rental vehicle nearby. About a 10min walk from the airport terminal. There are boards showing real-time updates of departing and arriving flights. We dropped by for our first meal in the country after flying in, and came again for our final meal before flying off. Plenty of parking outside. Tables are a little sticky, and sometimes the benches during lunch hour have crumbs; could do with more thorough cleaning.”
