Spice Paragon

Food was delicious. Service was good without being over attentive. Staff very friendly. I will be going back

I come here to eat as often as I can. The food is excellence encompassed. Prepared as if for Royalty everything tastes like it was made with the freshest ingredients (because it was). Staff are so friendly. When you are done and heading out swing past the kitchen window and give them a wave of thanks. They love it. I'll probaly be there again soon. The specials are also good and vary by season.

Absolutely love this place booked a table for dinner. We had just driven 6 hours returning from a family holiday we looked up the menu deciding what we wanted before we arrived.
We were seated straight away and showed them what we wanted within 15min all our dishes were in front of us great way to finish family holiday
BEST THAI IN CHRISTCHURCH
Can't wait to go back.

Staff were very friendly and helpful in their recommendations. Everything was delicious! We started with the pork and salmon entrees followed by the beef cheek based on other reviews here and ribs. Good sized mains. Highly recommend all and looking forward to returning soon.

A scallop starter, followed by beef cheek red curry. We shared this amazing experience with friends. This restaurant was recommended and I am so pleased we went. Our friends thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Full of flavour. We will be back. Thank you

Delish food! Beef cheek red curry was amazing!!

This restaurant is certainly one of the best in town. All the food we ordered was delicious and provided in generous portions. The highlights were the beef check red curry and the chef’s special duck. The venue is comfy with good acoustics, meaning that you can enjoy your time talking with your friends.

A great night out with old friend. The food, wine and service were all excellent. Would definitely go again and recommend to others

The staff were very friendly, bubbly, and attentive, and the food was to die for! I had the Pad Thai in an egg net, and it was easily the best pad Thai I have ever had the pleasure to eat!

What an amazing experience! I loved it all! The food was excellent and service superb. We ordered the beef cheek curry and a pad thai with green XO bacon beans - couldn’t fault a thing and will most definitely be back

Divinely, delicious dinner.
Enjoyed scallop as a taste [tease].
Such a big decision deciding what to have for the main.
Wasn't disappointed with the poached chicken in curry coconut sauce.
Big servings.
Managed to just squeeze in a coconut creme brulee. Why wouldnt you!!
Thanks Spice Paragon. We will be back.

First time dining here and had a great experience. Very attentive staff with regular check ins for drink top ups and the food was AMAZING! Melt in your mouth beef ribs and pork hock with just the right amount of spice. Would have loved to have tried a dessert but left bursting at the seams! All in all 10/10 and would recommend to anyone.

Food was next level amazing, always have the best experience every time I go. Would have to be my favourite restaurant and would recommend to all my friend and family!

Delicious food, will go back again and again.

Excellent everything from the time we stepped through the door. We had a couple of entrees and a vegetarian pad Thai and green tofu curry. Delicious. Highly recommended and will be back.

The freshness and quality that Spice paragon prides itself on is absolutely great. We had an amazing evening dinner with some of our very good friends. For our dinner we were able to enjoy some Slow cooked melting beef cheek which was amazing, Sticky pork hock that was delightful and some unbelievably good Deconstructed twice cooked beef short ribs. Each of the dishes helped create an exquisite dining experience, which this Thai fusion restaurant has become known by. Thankyou Spice Paragon.

First time dining here. Disappointed i have been missing this place all my life. Absolutely amazing food,full of flavour and great quality. Great menu, lovely atmosphere and vibe. Waitress couldn't be any more helpfull. The whole experience was so enjoyable. Need to come back to try some more of the menu!those beef cheese are to die for. You will not regret going here,best thai in christchurch

Amazing food and lovely service! Spice Paragon has probably one of the best beef cheek curry in New Zealand! The new dishes were amazing too, especially the grilled salmon with red curry paste, it was so juicy and flavourful, pairs great with rice! Will definitely be back!

Didn't quite know what to expect, as our previous Thai cuisine experiences had been limited to homemade offerings out of a packet, but the rave reviews gave us confidence to give it a go. And those reviews weren't wrong! Beautiful decor & ambience, discreet but friendly staff, food that was stunningly presented & oh so tasty!! Everything we had was fantastic: Bao, Caramelized Pork with Pineapple, Pork Short Ribs, Beef Cheeks, Chicken Pad Thai and ALL of the desserts! The restaurant has obviously become very popular (rightly so) as it filled up quickly while we were there. Delicious food made to share around the table with friends & family .... what a way to start 2019!

Another Fabulous meal at Spice Paragon! We love Spice Paragon! It is our favourite restaurant in Christchurch. The meals are delicious and the service fabulous. You just can't go wrong eating here! If you haven't been to Spice Paragon, you must try it! You won't regret it!

We decided to visit Spice Paragon on a Sunday evening to celebrate some end of year family achievements. It was very quiet when we arrived, so were treated to very attentive wait staff and prompt service.We ordered 3 ‘bites’ and 3 mains with rice to share between 4 adults.
Our meal was lovely in every way. All our dishes were beautifully presented and cooked perfectly, with well balanced flavours and ingredients. The diced fresh salmon entree was a lovely way to start our meal - simple and delicious. Slow cooked beef cheek was the stand out main.
We finished our meal with some shared coconut creme brûlées.
All around a very lovely night out for a foodie family!

Had a lovely dinner experience! It was fabulous dinner with friends! Everybody loved the meal we shared. The slow cooked melting beef cheek was awesome and tasty. The house made young coconut ice cream was an exemplary dessert to end with. Loved it. We'll surely come back.

Don't ask for a knife - you won't need one as everything falls off the bone.
Great food, great service. Will go back.

We loved our meal here. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. The crumbed squid was beautifully tender, the beef cheek just fell apart and loved the egg basket around the Pad Thai.

Always a pleasure dining here. Staff are friendly, great service with a relaxed atmosphere.
Food is a culinary delight.
Highly recommend the Beef cheeks and the Jungle pork if your fond of a spicy kick.

Wonderful will come back

Easily my favourite restaurant in Christchurch! Every time I am impressed with the food - in particular, the beef cheek which is absolutely to die for.

We chose a whole range of starters, the crispy pork balls were the best although the wontons were also awesome. For mains we had the beef rib, beef cheek and jungle pork. All were fantastic and a good combination of flavours. The jungle pork was a bit spicy for me, but the taste was great so I fought through the spiciness! Tried the desserts for the first time, and although they looked small when they came out, they were so tasty and rich it was plenty. Our favourite dessert was the frozen mousse - if you are a chocolate fan this is a must try.

Could not fault the service either. There was another booking after us so the staff very politely shifted us into the bar area for dessert. We still had a whole table in the bar area and were not rushed at all.

Will of course return!
