We visited on a very cold late autumn night and were immediately impressed with the work done to remodel an old house into a chic French restaurant. The place feels classy in that old world European way from the moment you sit down near the fire place and look at the wonderful French menu. We chose the French Onion soup... More

We went there for my wife's birthday on a friend's recommendation. The whole experience was fantastic; the setting, menu choices, wine list and the service staff who were great. Our night was really special here, and the food easily matched the high standard. Our waitress was superb, and we loved it :-) Tony & Trudy. More

We thought Chantellinis was beyond reproach. Everything was impeccable from the greeting when we walked in to the presentation of the dessert we couldn't finish as a doggy bag when we left. Also on a very very cold evening, was already -1 when we arrived at 7, they immediately offered to take all our coats and scarves. This service is... More

A little embarrassed to say we went for lunch & back for dinner, but can't be a bad thing. The atmosphere is lovely, decor beautiful. For lunch i had a chicken sandwhich, Andrew had the leek tart, both were lovely as was the lemon meringe tart we chose for dessert. For dinner we both had the vegetarian trio which was... More

Number one reason...Chantellini's. No place is perfect, but this place is damn close. If you like european food then this has to rate well against the best available in the Canterbury region, and that's before half of them fell down. I did think that the tables were either a bit high or the chairs a bit low, as the relationship... More

Our first time eating at Chantellini's and certainly won't be our last. This is a fine dining experience. Service is outstanding, and the setting both inside and out is very cute. We had dinner indoors which was cosy and intimate. Definitely recommend it for couples or very small groups. Food could not be faulted, we had entree's and mains and... More

We went to this restaurant for both lunch & dinner and were very impressed with both the food and service. Pricing for breakfast and lunch is reasonably, dinner is slightly on the more expensive side but definitely worthwhile if your a foodie! All our meals were fantastic & worth every cent we paid & we'd definitely go back here given... More
