A beautiful slice of ‘old Christchurch’, The Villas is all about superb local cuisine, delivering a diverse menu that features mouth watering chargrilled steaks and a delicious à la carte dinner menu, all complemented with carefully selected wines and NZ craft beers. Extensive renovations have transformed two classic, pre-1900 villas into one of the city’s most iconic destinations. Nestled in a quiet spot near the Christchurch Arts Centre and Art Gallery, The Villas offers a relaxed and friendly spot to start your day with a fabulous feast from their renowned breakfast menu, or to break for lunch with a group of friends in the sun-soaked courtyard. Before dinner, relax in the new ‘back bar” with a cocktail or two, then settle in for a feast to remember. It’s all about the food! Sumptuous Steaks, Shredded Duck Salad, Home-Made Hare Ravioli – there’s always something to surprise your taste buds. The wine list offers something for all palates and features wines from around the world, chosen to complement any dish. Oh, and don’t forget to leave room for dessert! There are some surprising options to discover, but don’t miss the caramelised carrot with vanilla goats’ cheese and apple salad. There’s something for everyone at The Villas, and it’s all served in one of the most iconic dining venues in the city.
