Salt On The Pier

Salt on the Pier in Christchurch offers a diverse menu with options like beef steak, lamb shank, salmon, spaghetti bolognese, and cheesecake. The beef steak was cooked to perfection, with a delightful medium-rare tenderness that satisfied our palates. The salmon was equally impressive, boasting a succulent texture and a flavorful seasoning that elevated the dish. However, we encountered an issue with the lamb shank, as it turned out to be disappointingly dry. Thankfully, the attentive staff promptly addressed our concern and replaced it. This demonstrates their commitment to ensuring a positive dining experience. The overall environment at Salt on the Pier is pleasant, providing a welcoming atmosphere that adds to the enjoyment of the meal. The service was commendable, with the staff being attentive and accommodating. To conclude, while the dry lamb shank was a hiccup in our experience, the excellent beef steak, flavorful salmon, and the attentive service compensate for it. Salt on the Pier remains a worthwhile dining destination in Christchurch, offering a variety of delicious options in a pleasant setting.

Super surprised at the quality of the food. Salt and Pepper Calamari was light and flavourful, fried perfectly. Ditto with the Peri Peri Chicken. Crumbed and seasoned beautifully and rhe chicken was perfectly cooked. The side salads had a beautiful mint and sweet dressing that was so refreshing, I actually wanted more salad, and that never happens. Top service to boot, great little café. Won't be my last visit that's for sure.

Stopped in for early lunch. West Coast Whitebait was special of the day - absolutely superb and very well priced. Nice salad and chips to go with. The coffee was so delicious that I actually enquired about the brand Gravity! Service was superb and plenty of seating.

Young James was very pleasant and a pleasure to be served by, lots of help when ordering food, that was medioka. And expensive. Take note of the dessert size for $14.00. RIPPED OFF!!!!. Our hostess wasn't very talkative when delivering our meals and I was disgusted at the state of her work smock covered in fat splatters and generally disgusting considering she was in front of the house with customers. Thank you James for making our evening entertaining and enjoyable.

Nice Chai Latte was just how I like it.. good service, nice wedges, muffin was a bit weird.. a bit crumbly and tasted a bit weird nice view though and decent overall.. 2 coffees, wedges and a muffin for $24 is not too bad really... cheers

Our Kai was absolutely Yummy : The Pancakes were nice and fluffy, the Big breakfast was very delicious. Highly recommend

This place is a disaster. Dined in midday on a Tuesday. The place was maybe half full. We ordered a pie, a bowl of chips and a flat white. The pie took half an hour to arrive and was stone cold. When I told them this the cook took it back, put it in the microwave and brought it back out. I asked for tomato sauce with the pie and instead got a bottle of tomato paste as in pizza sauce from the kitchen. The coffee arrived after 35 minutes and was... ok. The chips never arrived because, as it turns out, they were delivered to another table. The service is very poor. The food is also poor. The only saving grace is the location right on the beach.

Really nice atmosphere, very neutral but lot with candles with a beautiful view. Warm, friendly and attentive staff. Great ribs! $20 for a full meal, and a pint! Incredible. Weds Thurs Friday $20 meals, and also good balanced but simple menu offering some really good, classic food. Definitely worth bringing a couple of mates, a date, or the family! Highly recommended.

Food was delicious and affordable, quick service and after eating the beach is just nearby to have a strollFood: 5/5
