really good. the best restaurant in NZ
Delicious dessert plates! Love the fresh taste cream along with the chocolate, sweet but not heavy. Two plates are a bit too much for two, but we managed to finish them all. Absolutely a great place to stay for afternoon chill out.
Couldn't have asked for a better end to the Birthday celebrations.....
Strawberry Fare is everything that a good fine dinning restaurants needs to have, beautiful ambience (though, can get a bit noisy but who cares) , top notch hospitality, well stocked alcohol, amazing food, better than the best desserts.
Everything that we ordered was the highlight of the day. Beef was cooked to perfection, Prawns were perfectly flavored, the desserts had the right balance of sweetness and acidity.
Decent choice for Vegetarians
A Must
What an amazing meal. Went for a work function. Main meal was good but the star of the night was the desserts. They looked like pieces of art.
I went here for dinner on a busy Friday night and it was great! I had the Caesar salad for my main as I was saving myself for dessert! The salad was delicious! The other diners I was with ordered the fillet steak. One had asked for medium, and when it came out it was too rare for her, and despite her eating other food on her plate before realizing it wasn't cooked enough for her, the kitchen fully replaced her order, no questions asked and within 5 minutes she had a brand new meal in front of her with a perfectly cooked steak - fantastic service! I had the gateaux dessert and would highly recommend :)
After visiting Christchurch a million times, I eventually got to Strawberry Fare, made it for brekkie. Very quiet the morning we visited but it didn't disappoint. I had the duck hash thingy, never had duck for breakfast before but this dish was delicious. Washed down with a pretty decent coffee. The brekkie menu didn't have many options that would make me rush back but the lunch menu looked pretty interesting.
It was amazing dessert !! All staffs are friendly and nice :) We ordered special tasting so can try each dessert little bit. It was worth to try and brilliant !! don't know which words should use for description !! Highly recommended !!
Came here for breakfast. Great atmosphere, good vibes and delicious food. We got the Poached berries, creme fraiche, maple syrup it was quite rich but definitely good for your soul. Would love to go back there again.
Always my favourite place for dessert. Loved and tried all the dessert. Chocolate pate crunch is still my fave. Good atmosphere. Parking can be a problem during busy time.
Try the chocolate and raspberry cake with raspberry coulis, you won't regret it! Quite possibly the best chocolate cake I've had in my life!
Impeccable food, incredible service, and a good selection of drinks. I love coming here for my birthday and this is the 5th year in a row for me! This time I brought my partner, my nephew, and a best friend. Between us all we ordered a variety of things and there were no complaints.
Our waiter was amazing, really elevated the whole experience to another level, and all the staff were wonderful and pleasant throughout. I couldn't have had a better birthday dinner elsewhere. Highly recommend!
Beautiful chilly morning. The ladies at Strawberry Fare were outstanding, they were friendly and helpful. We were visiting from the US. This was a delicious meal. We sat on the sunny side. Cannot wait to visit again and try other menu items.
Ordered the following
Poached Eggs with Thyme potatoes - tomato chutney ties it all. Enjoyed this.
Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon - Foccacia & avocado salsa bring this combination together. Added a side of crispy Streaky Bacon.
Almond, Berry and coconut hotcakes - Wow! Coconut whip, piled high with berries on top of hotcakes. Try them!
Absolutely fabulous, can't fault anything here. Mouth watering steak the best ever, decadent dessert mmm and cocktail was divine. Photos are Turkey Salad,Salted Caramel Choc Gaeaux;Toblerone cocktail,Dreamy Cheesecake and Beef fillet.Definately 10/10.Great Service.
Have and will continue to dine here. Excellent food and dessert - never take the hazelnut torte off the menu! Always feels high end dining.
Desserts great! Really outstanding.
Personally not a fan of the duck hash dish and wouldn’t order it again. The flavors and textures just weren’t special. On the soggy side. Felt slightly like an afterthought dish, some shredded left over duck mixed into mash potato.
Duck is usually a real treat but it was underwhelming. Side salad was lovely though.
Would recommend all wait staff to try the duck hash for themselves.
Both the food and the service was outstanding. We were seated around 4:45pm and had our main out by around 5:05pm. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the food was amazing and presented so beautifully. Would definitely highly recommend!!!
Came with a friend for breakfast. Cinnamon roll French toast was absolutely fabulous. Chocolate mousse was very decadent and a real treat for any chocolate lover. Espresso martini was great, the only espresso martini I've ever actually enjoyed the taste of. We came early in the morning on a Wednesday so it was very quiet which was lovely. Pleasant view from our window table. Staff were very nice. Highly recommend.
Visited recently for dinner. Excellent service, but the meal itself was a little hit or miss. As my entree, I ordered the mushroom soup which was tasty but surprisingly heavy and a little bit heavy handed with the pepper.
For dessert, I had the chocolate mousse. The mousse itself was fine, but the star of that dish was the ice cream in the thin biscuit. Those were something special. I’d recommend selling the ice cream and the biscuit as a separate lighter dessert option. Those two alone with the fresh mint would be a perfect dessert.
Highly recommend the eye fillet. Also can't get enough of the garlic butter that came with the baguette for entree. Very friendly staff and service was excellent. You can see a bit of Hagley park from the restaurant but I am not a fan of the stairs to get there. There are seats on the ground floor too but only very limited.
We each ordered a light dinner and a dessert, since the desserts are quite generous. The food was incredible. Also had very nice cocktails. Service was quick and friendly. Absolutely perfect on all fronts.
