RIVERSIDE KITCHEN

 

Tucked above the buzz of Riverside Market in an elegant, light-filled space you'll find Riverside Kitchen, a cooking school in the heart of Ōtautahi Christchurch. In this welcoming space, our chef guides hands-on classes that showcase fresh, seasonal produce from the market downstairs.

Whether you are mastering global cuisines, sharpening classic techniques, or simply looking for a fun night out, our calendar of classes offers something for every level of home cook. For something a little more competitive, our MasterChef style team challenges are a hit with corporate groups, friends, and families alike. They are the perfect mix of competition, collaboration, and kitchen chaos.

Planning an event? Riverside Kitchen is also available for private dinners, canapé parties, and corporate functions. Our flexible space suits everything from business meetings and product launches to intimate weddings and milestone celebrations. We offer thoughtful catering options and a curated list of New Zealand fine wines and locally brewed beer.

With direct access to the best of Canterbury’s food producers and the energy of the market just downstairs, Riverside Kitchen offers a uniquely local and truly immersive food experience.
