Inati

Welcome to this fine-dining dream brought to life by chef Simon Levy and co-owner Lisa Levy, designed to infuse your culinary experience with a sense of excitement and theatre. Here, you might take your seat around the chef’s table, to be immersed in the vibrant energy of the kitchen or choose to settle in at an intimate table as you enjoy seasonally-inspired plates that redefine traditional dining. Showcasing the finest local produce and celebrating the best of Canterbury and New Zealand in an elegant yet approachable manner, the menu allows an indulgence in stunningly presented food and invites exploration of a variety of tantalising flavours, such as Simon's duck trumpets and tamarillo jam or smoked lamb tartare, crumpets and egg yolk tallow. Jerusalem artichoke with fermented sauvignon blanc and lemon and merlot jelly demonstrates this chef’s ability to deliver sophisticated flavours through exceptional combinations. The spacious, contemporary setting allows for both intimate dining and engagement with the chefs in the open kitchen, combined with outstanding service that exemplifies the best of Christchurch hospitality. An evening here will be a topic of conversation for years to come.
