At the edge of Christchurch’s Four Avenues sits Gatherings, led by Chef Alex Davies — an intimate dining room, translating place onto the plate.

​

The restaurant’s philosophy centres on respect — for the growers, producers, hunters, and fishers who shape the ingredients, and for the shared act of dining itself.

​

Guided by the seasons, the menu reflects Aotearoa through a focus on organic vegetables, wild meats, and sustainably sourced New Zealand kaimoana. 

​

The wine list follows the same principles — concise, considered, and grounded in organic and low-intervention winemaking, alongside established regional benchmarks. A small selection of craft beers and distinctive spirits completes the drinks offering.

​

Gatherings is an intimate space with limited seating. Reservations are recommended, and groups of up to twenty can be accommodated by arrangement.

 

The menu evolves weekly, offering something new with each visit.
