The Monday Room - Christchurch

Went there for a dinner and opted for “Trust the Chef”. Food was good but not exceptional. I liked the vegetables in particular. Was just surprised that “Trust the Chef” does not include a dessert to complement the meal we were given the dessert menu after all the courses were served to decide on our dessert. Service was all right. Atmosphere was okay as well. Would usually like a bit more light when having a meal. I’m not a person who likes jazz so I won’t comment on the music but I think it’ll be nice for people who like that music genre.

This was an outstanding experience. From the food to the staff, an entirely enjoyable dining experience. Our host, Ryan, was welcoming and knowledgeable ready to help with accommodating us in a busy restaurant with an intimate understanding of all the menus and refreshment options available. At the bar James was constantly making incredible cocktails. My wife and I shared a cured king fish starter followed by the brazed lamb shoulder with the beef fried potatoes and cos salad. This turned out to be a delicious journey with a light and tangy start followed by rich lamb, crunchy potatoes and zesty salad all matched with a beautiful point noir that balanced the lamb superbly. One of the best dining experiences I have had for a fair old while. Thank you Ryan, James and team, we were extremely satisfied with everything we experienced.

Incredible place to come and eat, we trusted the chef and are incredibly glad that we did! Everything was cooked perfectly and incredibly tasty as well. Highly recommend coming here! The staff are all incredibly friendly and the cocktails that we had were all delicious as well

Very good experience…service, ambience and food were top notch….I’m a recognised fussy eater so choosing the “trust the chef” option was undertaken with some trepidation, but it was very very good….I wouldn’t choose every dish on their own, but I enjoyed each one of them, so thank you Monday Room for making a very enjoyable evening

I chose to dine here for the first time as I thrilled to read the menus and confidence about the restaurant, the head chef is a woman, so I expected something different from others. Yes, we had a very good time seated upstairs followed by a professional manner floor manager. His explanation of the menus are excellent with recommendations. And all meals we ordered came to us with perfect and delicate careful cooking, Never had like this with satisfaction in NZ for long time.
