Lume Restaurant - Peppers Clearwater Resort

A beautiful establishment with unbeatable views across the neighbouring lake, Lume Restaurant is a hidden gem in Christchurch.

Housed in Peppers Clearwater Resort, Lume Restaurant boasts all the trappings of a grand country manor whilst also updating the aesthetic with a lighter colour scheme that brings it into the 21st century. Heavy blue carpets are paired with contemporary grey armchairs for a restaurant that looks soft enough to jump into. With the addition of a huge fireplace and a roaring fire during winter, Lume is a cosy, contemporary treat.

Due to Christchurch's proximity to Otago and NZ's farming regions, the menu showcases all it has to offer with decadent mains like Fiordland venison hotpot with root vegetables. Akaroa salmon is also used to create the dish of the day and a creamy linguine drizzled with Canterbury truffle oil.

For dessert, you are invited to push the indulgence a little further with homemade New York Cheesecake or the nation's beloved sticky date pudding. Enjoy each beautiful spoonful looking over the lake outside, gazing at the mountains in the distance as you give thanks for this stolen evening.
