Description

SPANISH TAPAS - LAMB - PAELLA and more... in a heritage building in the Botanic Gardens. Drop in for casual tapas in the sun in summer, or beside the fireplace in winter. Or a special occasion or group function in one of our intimate dining rooms. Beautiful garden views. Stroll through our demonstration fruit and vege garden. All right in the heart of the Botanic Gardens in central Christchurch. Simply too special to miss. Open 7 days for lunch, dinner and tapas.

Tapas Delight

Post Garden tapas and wine treat. The mixed tapas special was great for two and went down a treat with a glass of wine followed by ice-cream and coffee. Friendly service.

So glad this precious gem survives

We visited Curator's House back in 2010 and didn't know if it had survived. So glad to be able to visit again. The gardens surrounding the restaurant are breathtaking. Such a lovely place to sit outside on a sunny day. The place was very busy...More
