THE ONE Restaurant & Bar
Being a regular returnee visitor to the garden city, I always look for the newly opened bars and restaurants, which is almost a FOMO. Among the 3 places I visited last week, TheOne Rooftop Bar definitely stood out by miles. Nestled in the Chch City Hotel rooftop, it’s hugged by the entire city, which has been renewed from inside out over the last decade.The lift takes you right to the welcoming restaurant. Decorated with what struck me as Singaporean or HongKong metro style with a Kiwi twist, the cafe and bar area blends together so well that no matter where you sit, there is an immaculate view. Walking outside, you get nearly 360 degree view of the city. I could imagine having a glass of Sav in a summer night around the LED lit bar tables. Highly recommended to those who fancy a bit of classy service.

Origine
What a gorgeous experience through and through. The door was quite inconspicuous, but the interior was stunning, with a great open plan and high roofs. Also, a great view of the viaduct.The servers were all very friendly with excellent knowledge of their drinks list and menu, and had great recommendations for pairing of drinks and food.Food came in great timing, giving us enough time to enjoy our share platters/separate meals but also quick enough so that we didn't feel super hungry.Everything was absolutely delicious. The star of the show for me was the duck - melt in your mouth texture and deliciously seasoned. The eclair was quite firm (as if just removed from the chiller), but I could not fault anything else.

What an amazing place to dine! I went for a high tea. The experience and service was outstanding, and the food, divine! The chef also came out to see that everything was good, which was a nice little touch.The room is beautiful. It has stunning hanging lights, cool wine and alcohol displays. Just a very mature, elegant restaurant, perfect higher class dining!

Had a lovely girls night at Lava, enjoying the 5 course degustation with wine match. The food was absolutely beautifully presented and they were able to alter the menu to cater for me (gluten free, vegetarian) with no sacrifices - Often my version of a meal can be a bit lacking, but at Lava, my meal was exceptional, to the point that the other girls were looking at my meals with envy - not because they didn't like what they had, but because my meal was so special! Service was great, decor is interesting and I imagine in the daytime the view over the water is lovely. Am glad Lava took part in restaurant month this year, as before this I had no idea this restaurant existed! Would definitely recommend. Not given 5 stars as the glasses we had the wine match in were really tiny - would rather have a small amount in a normal size glass, than a small glass filled up!

I’m still raving about how delicious my meal was here - one of the best steaks I’ve eaten and cooked and seasoned to perfection! I have it on good authority that the beef burger is also delicious. I was so excited for my meal I forgot to take any photos but everything - from the warm bread rolls with butter, the delicious mains, and pretty views, to the excellent service - was fantastic. Highly recommend.

The food is outstanding - Michellin star quality. The portion sizes are quite small, but that's ok because the quality is so good, as is the presentation and flavour.Customer service is faultless - the waiters are very friendly, really know the menu, and respond well to special requests from fussy eaters.The atmosphere is also really nice - no loud music playing, comfy chairs and a beautiful environment to eat in.Went here for my birthday, and will definitely be back in the future.

Despite a busy Sat morning, the staff was very accommodating, warm, and efficient. Enjoyed the french toast, eggs bene with rosti and coffee very much. Will come back again to try the lunch menu and high tea. Many thanks.

Awesome dinner at Origine, a French inspired fine-dining with fabulous waterfront view. The food is divine and beautifully presented! All of the staff was truly pleasant to talk with.We thought the snacks and starters would have ‘fine-dining portion’ but not at all. After 5 starters for sharing between 5 of of us, we were completely full for the mains.Highly recommend the Duck Liver Parfait and Fried Courgette Flower Goat Cheese.

Delicious crepes and so filling! I got the Tiramisu crepe I can’t recommend it ENOUGH. The coffee is strong (which most tiramisu’s miss the mark on) and the mascarpone ratio is spot on - a coffee lover’s dream!
