About 5th Street

Tucked among Sydenham’s industrial warehouses just off Colombo Street. A funky, high-end dining room pulsing with vibrant energy and serious culinary chops. Christchurch epicureans consistently point to this spot for its masterful shared plates and razor-sharp execution. Think brilliant tartare, impeccably textured fish with perfectly judged acidity, and a legendary oyster mushroom dish. The signature lamb shoulder? Unbelievably tender. For the ultimate move, secure a seat at the Chef’s Bar. Opt for the 'Trust the Chef' experience—watching the brigade work the pass like a well-oiled machine while plating up spectacular kai. Pair it all with thoughtful boutique wines by the glass or creative cocktails, and finish with a communal scoop of tiramisu. An absolute masterclass in stylish, immersive dining.
