50 Bistro, An Award-Winning Christchurch Restaurant
Situated on the ground floor of The George at the junction of Park Terrace and Peterborough Street, 50 Bistro is an award-winning restaurant serving contemporary New Zealand cuisine. Spanning three interconnected rooms, 50 Bistro offers a cosy meeting place, a sunlit conservatory and outdoor dining space, and a stylish indoor ‘neo-bistro’ restaurant. Overlooking Hagley Park, it’s the best restaurant in Christchurch to dine with a view, particularly at sunset.
Under the direction of Executive Chef Ryan McKenzie, the menus showcase fresh local produce, seasonal inspiration, and artistic presentation, with exceptional dishes for every palate.

– Guennie – November 2023, Cambridge United KingdomWe joined our friends here for dinner. They were staying. We were not. So I can only comment on the bar and restaurant which were both very good. The vegetable soup of the day was delicious and the freshly caught and prepared salmon main was amazing. Service was excellent and there was a nice ambience. Definitely recommend for a special meal.
