From the moment we arrived for lunch the staff were welcoming and attentive. We had our pick of tables and the place was beautiful and inviting. We chose the salmon belly (starter), asparagus (share), duck and chicken (mains). I also asked for extra olive oil which wasn't a problem, the lovely lady even bought out extra sauce. The food was so tasty! Good options for those on keto or eating low carb.

The food was simply fantastic, the portions were great sizes, and the wine list was quite good. Prices were reasonable for food quality, service was excellent, room was cozy and comfortable. There was soooooo much to enjoy, and nothing at all concerning. Small-town fine dining done right. I had the licorice pudding/cake for dessert. Wow. The chocolate/orange fondant was remarkable too. You can't go wrong...

Enjoy dinner in style on board our beautifully-restored heritage tramcar. A unique experience mixing great New Zealand cuisine and beverages with a slow-paced tour showcasing Christchurch's rebuilding and vibrant inner city - this is not to be missed!

Have had the chch tram restaurant on my 'bucket list' for quite a while. Finally I was able to try this out the other night. It was truly a lovely evening with wonderful food along with a joyous buzz throughout the tram from other diners. It almost felt like eating on a mini Orient Express! Not that I have been privileged to have dined on that, but that's how I would imagine it to be. Staff were warm and welcoming as well as making sure that everyone's dining experience was an absolute pleasure. This is not only great for tourists, but definitely a worthwhile experience for locals.

Unfortunately we visited this winery when restaurant was closed, however I can assure you the menu looked amazing with lots of local produce. The winery and surrounds were stunning. The wine itself was well priced and complex. Special thanks to the staff who gave âgenerousâ tastings so we could wander the grounds with a beautiful red wine.

Very impressed with the food selection, very creative and can tell the chef is passionate about flavour and presentation.I had the balsamic beef cheek, it was cooked to perfection and even the greens were surprisingly flavourful. My husband had a bacon buttie, the bacon was crispy but was not greasy and the chutney inside was perfectly matched. We will definitely be back and try their dinner and dessert menu!!Thanks heaps for the fantastic review, appreciated.Will pass on your kind comments to the kitchen crew. The Balsamic Beef Cheek is a favourite amongst the team as well, it's a fantastic dish.Yes please do come back and see us for dinner or dessert some time soon.Regards S

Stopped off for a mid week lunch. The menu is basic, however the quality and presentation of the food is fantastic. The menu prices are in the $30.00 to $40.00 range for a generous main meal. Worth a look.
