Best Dog Friendly Restaurants in Christchurch

Amazing experience at art sushi. It was my fiancés birthday and they gave her complimentary sake. The food was incredible. The best sushi we’ve ever had. So fresh and flavoursome and the staff were brilliant.

Service and atmosphere was amazing, Top notch food and my wife can now use chopticks. Great way to celebrate her birthday. Definitely be going again.

Great for children. Food much better than in the past and fun stuff like getting the children’s drinks in mini milk bottles.

As a group of 5 we are here for my vegan sons birthday. Since he became vegan very tricky finding somewhere nice to eat, and not pan Asian food. The rest of us are big meat eaters. Beautiful venue, perfect music levels, beautiful decor and light. Son was blown away by the food, it was certainly very good, although we had to have the festive menu whereas I would have preferred normal menu especially for first visit so couldnt try the “steak” . A tad expensive but then it was a birthday dinner so that ok. Well worth a visit as very few good independents in the area.

Last minute decision to go out for dinner and decided to give The Ship in Distress a try and didn't regret it. Superb service, friendly and welcoming. Food was delicious and well presented. Overall very good and will be back. Many thanks.
