Trevinos Bar Restaurant - Governors Bay

Popular and busy. Made a phone reservation. Restaurant area seperate from the bar. Interesting floor angles down towards the front. Probably earthquake damage. Some cars on the main road made the place rumble so be prepared. Wait staff mainly female tonight uniformed. Pleasant and welcoming. Had a booth for three. All the dishes on the menu sounded great and a good choice to select from including a blackboard specials. I had the chicken parmigiana moist meat, golden crumb served atop slim french fries. Rounded off with some salad leaves, carrot and tomato, dressed. Pottle of tomato sauce not needed as the chicken had tomato and cheese. My friend had the beef and date tagine served with rice and salad. Steak fromage served with chips and salad on a foccacia bread. We had room for dessert which was banoffee pie, rich and delicious. No complaints from any of us. As this was very busy the noise level was high so take this into consideration. Three courses without drinks you would be looking over 50$ a person. Clean and tidy, although gas bottles line the entrance to the toilets out the back. There is a bar and restaurant. Outside tables are also available. Noise of Riccarton Road no issues. Plenty of parking around on the street.

Went there twice. First time for lunch food was wonderful great chief and the young waitress was excellent lunch time was five out of five. Bit different when we went for dinner food was still five out of five .But the wait staff were busy and they needed more on .We had to Chase them down to order which was disappointing .But will go back when we return to NZ

Went on unexpected meal out with the family and ordered the beef cheeks, and wow, was so awesome and best meal out in a long time. Kids meals were great too, kids pizzas were not cheap looking pizzas like some other restaurants do. Would recommend for sure.

Had a good value meal, made better by having an excellent attentive waiter who had good wine knowledge and when he did make one mistake he rectified it straight away. Kid's meals were dealt with quickly. Would go again.

Simply great food in all respects, attentive friendly staff ,and well appappointed restaurant. The pasta carbonara was simply one the best I've ever had the pleasure to eat. I warmly recommend this restaurant and I will definitely return when next in Christchurch .If you live nearby I urge you to check out this restaurant gem Grateful Auckland diner Clive Bartleet
