If it was still on Montreal St I'd be very happy. However since it was evicted post-Feb quake I haven't managed to get to the new version, Dux Live... More

It was some time back, the place was good with huge dinner crowd. sitting could get a little difficult during the peak hours. Good food with excellent ginger beer. Planning a holiday to NZ again & this place is worthy stopover. More

The Dux de Lux is a very typical pub of New Zealand and there you can find a real kiwi atmosphere! It is not near the city centre so you should have a car in order to reach it, however it's in a tranquil area near the Avon. Food is very good but you must reach the pub, that is... More

This is a very busy pub and the service is very curt. On paper the menu is interesting but what is served is very basic for the money being paid. Very poor value and the worst meal that we had during our 3 week New Zealand trip. More

A local in the All Black shop recommended we try Dux de Lux, and we were not disappointed. The restaurant is on the site of a former school building and is therefore spacious, with seating out & indoors. Food is brought to the tables, after you have ordered it at the counter.

We were in for an early dinner one night in early November. The patio is a nice, open place to sit and there is enough going on in and around Dux de Lux to make it fun to sit outside. My wife and I had a hard time deciding what we wanted to eat because there were a lot of... More

Tables were dirty and place in general was not clean. Beer was good. Would not return for Pizza, but might go to the other part of the restaurant which is cafeteria style,... More

We went here on a warm evening. There are some nice spots to sit outside and it was crowded. The food menu looked very interesting though we didn't try anything as it seemed expensive. I did get the tasting sampler of 6 of their beers and was disappointed. Their beers mostly have 4% alcohol and were watery and not cold.... More

I had read great things about his place and remember eating there some decades ago. Four of us found a nice table outside and chose our food from a good menu with interesting choices - it's not your usual menu. After a while two meals came out. Being polite they didn't start. We waited and waited and waited for the... More
