Guidebook for Lyttelton
Drinks & Nightlife
Civil and naval is one of my absolute favourite spots. Offering an excellent selection of wine, craft beers and personalised cocktails. The menu is tapas style and includes a number of dishes we love and our previous guests have rated as some of the best they have experienced in NZ. The seasonal greens are a staple in my life and you really must try the macaroni cheese; (I fear they may no longer be on the menu) but the brown butter prawns were so good, we know people who adored them, even though they are allergic to shellfish.
