About Gatherings
Gatherings brings seafood to 2 Papanui Road in Merivale, Merivale, making it a handy stop for anyone eating out in Christchurch. It is about 1.3 km from central Christchurch.
The kitchen focuses on seafood. Dishes typical of this style include grilled fish of the day and bluff oysters, so it is a good pick if those are on your list. With 132 seafood options across Christchurch, this corner of the local food scene is well covered.
Gatherings opens 4 days a week and is closed on Mondays, Tuesdays and Sundays. The earliest start is 6 pm on Wednesdays, and the latest finish is 11 pm on Wednesdays. Night owls should note the late closing on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. In total it trades for about 20 hours each week.
For budgeting, seafood restaurants of this kind in New Zealand typically cost around $40–$70 per person (Mid-to-upper range). It is surrounded by other eateries: we count 10 more venues within about 1 km, which makes this part of Merivale easy to explore on foot.
In its own words: “Gatherings is a tiny restaurant on the fringe of Christchurch City's four Aves.”
