Chim Choo Ree restaurant menu may have been a touch pricey, but the food was beautifully presented, tasted amazing and we enjoyed it with an equally fine wine. The restaurant features a curated selection of New Zealand wines, emphasizing regional varietals that pair perfectly with the menu. Whether you’re a wine connoisseur or simply looking to complement your meal, the knowledgeable staff can guide you to an ideal choice. Tables were designed to fit four so as a couple we felt a little far away from each other. Some tables have a river view. Love the art deco flair of the restaurant.

The main menu is a la carte and features great vegetarian options as well as catering for most dietary requirements including gluten intolerance.
