Ivory Bar

Delivering all the glitz and glamour of 1920s New York on a gleaming silver platter, Ivory Bar embodies the shameless opulence of that sparkling era. Complemented by the elegance of European tapas and sharing plates, this eatery is as treasured as its namesake.

A truly immersive dining experience, Ivory welcomes you into a world of escapism in one of Canterbury's most iconic heritage buildings. Jaw-dropping chandeliers, glossy leather booths and that gloriously symmetrical art deco chic makes Ivory the master of old-school decadence. Relish the royal treatment and faultless service... and don't be afraid to revive that 1920s party spirit! Flapper dresses aren't mandatory.

The menu prides itself on its sharing etiquette. Whilst your first cocktail is being shaken and stirred, indulge in any of their sharing platters. Choose from their varied collection or opt for the crème de la crème with the Ivory platter, brimming with seafood, meats and cheeses.

For mains, NZ specialties are paired with that European lightness-of-touch. Seared venison is accompanied with chocolate and red wine sauce while pork belly finds a friend in some apple cider cream sauce and coconut potato mash. And about that party we mentioned... how does their wicked Rasputin's rhapsody cocktail sound? With lashings of caramel and Siberian salt, you never know what you're going to get. Alternatively, the Ivory chocoholic is delightfully naughty. Choose your poison and let those schmoozy jazzy beats sweep you off your feet.
