Nestled in the heart of Timaru, New Zealand, Steak@CustomsHouse is a hidden gem housed in a stunning Victorian building boasting Grecian-style architecture complete with majestic columns. Stepping through the doors, you're transported to a world of old-world charm, the plush chairs and spacious tables creating an inviting atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease.
Having dined in some great restaurants in major Australian cities, we can confidently say that Steak@CustomsHouse offers a dining experience that rivals the best. My partner declared the fillet steak as the best he had ever tasted.
As a vegetarian, I was delighted by the thoughtfully crafted vegetarian course. The combination of flavours was nothing short of outstanding, and I congratulate the chef's skill and attention to detail.
During our visit, a single individual carried the entire service, including a large group in a private room, and did a wonderful job.
What makes Steak@CustomsHouse even more remarkable is its location in Timaru, a charming coastal city in New Zealand. It proves that exceptional dining experiences can be found in unexpected places.
A fantastic experience and probably the best steak I have had anywhere. Great service from a very attentive and professional front of house guy. The whole thing was just perfect and great value considering the outstanding quality of food.
Probably my new favorite steakhouse in NZ so far, every is just right, the location and ambiance are impeccable, food id great, the meat is perfect cooked to our liking, super tender, juicy and delicious, the truffle mushroom appetizer and truffle potato are particularly unforgettable, the highlight, however, is the exquisite service, our waiting staff is unbelievably polite, professional, knowledgeable and classy, like everything else in this restaurant, which is sadly so hard to come across these days. I will most definitely be back to Timaru just for the place. Do make reservation or check their availability ahead to avoid any disappointment, which happens often.
