Extremely enjoyable dinner. The 37 day dry-aged ribeye on the bone 500g and the lamb tenderloin on the bone 400g were excellent, with the lamb being a particular stand-out. The addition of bone marrow adds a creamy dimension to the meats. The sides of the duck fat potato croquettes and the freekah salad were also tasty. Service was good as well.
Excellent service. The oyster and beef tartare entrees were excellent and steak very flavourful. We liked that bone marrow was served with the steak - great touch. Unfortunately the desserts were unusual and not very nice which was a bit of a let down after a lovely evening. Excellent wine.
If you want a good steak in Christchurch, it is the place to go. They have a few options of aged steak. We ordered the tomahawk, it is pretty good. For dessert, all of us think the Chocolate Marquise is the bestFood: 5/5
Great ambience. Good food and good selection of drinks. Also, service by people who knew the menu and drinks well. Got a steak that was cooked to perfection. Sourdough bread that was incredibly delightful for a cold winter evening. All in all, a brilliant experience. Thank you!
Great meal and attentive service with a nice atmosphere. On a solo travel jaunt for a few days in Christchurch, my meal at Bessie was one of the more relaxing evenings. Thanks will definitely be keeping on the list if I return.
In summary: This is a good steak restaurant that falls a bit short in every aspect. Sourdough for example. It comes out as toast, and was effectively pane di casa more than a sourdough. Given it’s $14 I’d expect it to be the best sourdough I’ve had with a high quality butter. It wasn’t to be. Then with the steaks. They unfortunately didn’t have half of the ones on the menu. Bit of a shame. The steak I did get was the dry aged t-bone. Well cooked with a lovely crust and great seasoning. Quality of the beef was good but certainly not a the top level, mainly due to the texture. The sides cos salad, croquettes and carrots were good, but nothing that blew us away. The service was really friendly, but the staff weren’t very attentive. We had a great night, but everything just fell a bit short of expectations.
Great spot. Friendly staff. Good atmosphere. But most importantly, amazing food. One of, if not the best steaks we've ever had. Words and pictures cannot do the food any justice. Dry age T-bone. Incredible sides. Delicious dessert. It's very clear that everyone involved in bringing this food to the table is passionate about what they do. Very much looking forward to coming back.
Great atmosphere, friendly service, the staff paid special attention to my dietary restrictions and the food was excellent. Will definitely return next time I’m in ChristchurchRecommended dishesChicken Liver Pate, Steak Tartar
We were greeted with warm hospitality all throughout the night. Food were exceptionally good. We tried all the sides and every one of them were outstanding. Dry aged meat and lamb were expectedly superb according to their prices. It was worth every penny. Our experience for that night was so satisfying and filling. Will recommend to all of our friends.
What a place ? Our best restaurant in 6 weeks NZL ! The only trouble was a much too noisy group just behind our table ! Perfect wine and very friendly serving ! Perfect Lamb and sauce as well my wife a fillet out of the paradise back ! Very special atmosphere in an old steelers hall
