Pescatore Restaurant

Fine dining at its best. Great food, wine and service

The most delicious, outstanding Fine Dining experience. The staff were attentive and were expert in telling us about every dish that was brought to our table. Extensive wine choice but most of all..the little dishes of palate cleansers were very delicious too. Definitely will return.

The 10 course degustation was a brilliant start to my weekend in Christchurch with family and friends. This is an experience, like opera under the stars. Where every dish compliments the previous dish but also exceeds the dish in the same note. The service was impeccable and like all great restaurants, very accommodating to all our needs. Thank you to all the staff at Pescatore for such a wonderful evening, we will definitely dining here again in the near future. Beaudine

This was a fantastic experience. I can not rate it high enough. When you get there you might be a bit suspicious with it being in a strip mall but put this down to the Christchurch earthquakes. The front of house looks like nice pub/restaurant but the really fantastic part is when they took us to the restaurant out the back. We had the 9-course degustation and it was brilliant. All the food was delicious with out being over powering or confusing. The service was very attentive while being gentle and friendly. Go here!!

Chic refined excellent service good food interesting wine list one of the best restaurants I ate in Christchurch

A very refined and polished performance from a very professional restaurant. The young manager and North American gentleman whom served us were exceptional. It was our first time at Pescatore and it was an unforgettable encounter. Our snapper was sensational and the morsels of appetizers and other nibbles we were given were just absolutely divine. Well done. I loved our table site too! Such a beautiful vista of our gorgeous Hagley Park and the beautiful people bustling by. Many thanks!

Food was good, not great, not terrible. Waitress was very nice and pleasant. The reason I gave this resteraunt a 2 star vs an easily achievable 4 star is solely due to the manager. He told us there was no availability the night before and then was able to squeeze us into a 6 o'clock cancellation. We arrived promptly and there was only one other table occupied. By the time we left there were only four tables occupied nearly two hours later. When confronted he lied and told me there were twenty people waiting downstairs. As you exit the resteraunt you have to walk downstairs and there was not one person waiting. Good decent, service was very good with the exception of the manager. Would never return unless there is a new manager.

Great service, friendly staff, awesome food. So many little extras included in the meal! And they were really good about my pregnancy - they brought out a seafood appetiser that I couldn't eat so they took it away and appeared a minute later with an alternate appetiser. The wait staff knew the food they were serving really well and explained everything thoroughly and everything was cooked to near perfection.
