Christchurch Restaurants
Christchurch is the home to some of New Zealand's best restaurants. A coastal location allows Christchurch restaurants to serve their seafood especially fresh. Christchurch has also become famous for its lamb dishes. As sheep farming has been going on here for well over a century, the multicultural community of Christchurch restaurants has perfected cooking lamb in many ways, something to look forward to when you fly Auckland to Christchurch.
Christchurch restaurants are known from Auckland to Christchurch, New Zealand, for their local dishes of salmon, ostrich, venison, prime beef and fresh fish.
