Inati

Top choice in Christchurch


Shared plates enjoyed around an elegantly curved bar are divided into Earth, Land and Sea and include innovative and playful dishes harnessing ingredients like smoked mutton tartare, citrus-cured fish with fennel, and kiwifruit sorbet. Four- to eight-course tasting menus are a good way to explore the Inati ethos, and one of Christchurch's best wine lists featuring many South Island varietals.
