The Fine Lion - Ashburton

Do yourself a favour and come here, the food is incredible, the cocktails delicious and refreshing and the service was lovely. We ordered the venison croquettes, kawakawa fries, pork belly and the filet. Everything was cooked to perfection and we will happily be back!!

The best burger i have tasted in years and the fries were amazing. Lovely venue with balcony and great service. It’s absolutely worth seeking this place out on the 2nd storey.

Absolutely love this place! The vibe is really great with such nice finishings to the decor and the Team/Staff are incredibly accommodating. Fantastic food and drinks! Picture perfect! Love love love!

I was on a work trip for the night and was in search of a good place for dinner. I found this restaurant to be perfect for dining alone. The modern decor blended nicely with the antique bathroom fittings and style. The service from the women at the front of house was excellent and friendly. The starters were delicious, and I especially enjoyed trying black garlic for the first time. The main course, fish paella, was very good with just the right amount of crisp on the bottom. Unfortunately, I had no room for dessert. I had 2 courses, a beer, and a glass of wine for a total of $75. Thank you!

I had an incredible meal at this restaurant! The fried chicken appetizer was excellent and the presentation was impressive. The steak was cooked perfectly and tasted divine, melting in my mouth. The potatoes were delicious and the seasoned cauliflower was amazing. The cheeseburger was huge and full of flavor. The cocktails were tasty and beautifully presented, and the beer came in a nice cold cup. The atmosphere was lovely and the staff were friendly. I will definitely be returning!
