Interior of Cellar Door restaurant in Christchurch with stylish bar and lighting.

Cellar Door Christchurch

Cellar Door sits at 1 Hereford Street. The dining room runs smart and elegant, leaning into a modern and creative approach to contemporary cooking.

The space holds a 2024 Wine Spectator Excellence Award, which sets it apart from the more casual spots nearby. You choose this table for the focus on the cellar rather than the passing traffic of the central city. While it is a ten-minute walk from the bright, pedestrian-heavy shops of New Regent Street, the distance works in its favor. It offers a quieter, more deliberate rhythm that the louder venues closer to the city center simply cannot match.
