Leinster Rd Bistro

Wow what a little gem in the heart of Merivale, lucky locals.
Beautifully prepared food, there’s a lot of love there and really attentive service.
You were the only waiter on and you couldn’t tell -well done, you have the recipe right! Deserts were delicious.

Leinster Bistro is one of the jewels in the suburban restaurant crown in Christchurch. I can’t recall a bad or even “average” meal here. Can’t reccomend highly enough.

Never been before. Food was amazing!!!! Lovely surroundings and will definitely be returning

Great meal and excellent service.

If you are after a quiet place where you could enjoy a pleasant meal as well as a relaxed conversation, Leinster Rd Bistro definitely is the one you shouldn't miss.

Great food and great service. Definitely go again.

Excellent food, great service on an unusually quiet evening made this a very enjoyable meal.

Excellent food & service!!! Great portion sizes not too big or small!!!!

It was good. Maybe a little could be done to make it brilliant... e.g. a little more lavish in the condiments on the desserts. I think we might return sometime

Always a dining delight - peaceful, delicious, timely and sophisticated. This is one of my favourites for a guaranteed good meal and friendly service.

great service, great food, value for money, I love the ambience

A most enjoyable meal in comfortable relatively quiet surroundings despite a quite crowded restaurant. We will happily be back for more.

Food was fantastic, service and staff great, did not feel rushed, also BYO restaurant

Great food and great service :-)

Great dinner, excellent service, good range of wines. Nice Sunday evening relaxed atmosphere.

Awesome dining experience. Great setup and very enjoyable atmosphere. There were several items on the Menu I would like to go back and try. Fish of the day with seasonal veges is on the top of the list. Music was just right for dining and chatting over. Comfortable seating and lovely service by the staff, thanks for a lovely experience :)

Very enjoyable lunch at Leinster Bistro, no loud music and conversation was easy.The menu was a little different, so many yummy dishes to choose from and nothing disappointed. The service was delightful. Would definitely go back and recommend to friends.

Had a lovely lunch. Would come back.
Only reason I didn’t select excellent service was because we weren’t read out the specials. They were on a blackboard but we hadn’t noticed it. Had to ask what they were.

Always enjoy dining here. One of the few places where the noise levels aren't a problem, it's always such a lovely quiet and pleasant dining atmosphere where you can actually hear the conversation at your table! Food has always been of a great standard every time we've dined here too...will be back.

The food was great, very tasty and filling. The waitress was very nice and provided good service. A great first experience and we are happy to come back!

Great food, great service in good environment

Great food, great service, Leinster Rd Bistro never disappoints. We’ll be back...

We really enjoyed our meal. The food was delicious with good service.

Great food delivered promptly and attentive staff. Hard to fault. Will be back.

This was an excellent meal, attractively served in a comfortable popular venue with attentive staff. The four of us all felt it was particularly good value.

Excellent service and food. The service was very friendly and efficient and the menu was much more extensive than last time we dined here. We thought there was a lot more choice and there were many things on the menu that appealed. The buttermilk chicken salad was a standout, as was the risotto of the day. The creme brulee and the profiteroles were yummy desserts. We would come again.

I always enjoy dining here. The seating in the booths is so comfortable and as the tables are not close together it’s good to have a conversation without overhearing the nearby diners. A very pleasant ambiance.

Brilliant service, delicious food.

Good food, nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Would go again. Highly recommend the beef cheek croquettes

Great food and service.
