I haven't really eaten at the Dux de Lux. My culinary experience here consists of a bowl of chips and a bowl of wedges. However everytime I've been in the food has looked good, if that's any consolation.
What I want to review are the beers. The specially made micro-brewed beers for Dux de Lux. There are a range of beers on tap made especially by the establishment. The menu takes you through each one describing how you will find the flavor and body and what awards that beers has won. And they have won a few. There are 7 beers on tap. You can get a tasting tray or just dive right in.
My favorite is the GingerTom. This cheeky gingerbeer is a 4% alcoholic beverage. Very fresh and crisp on a summer's day. There is also a stout, lager, two ales, a bitter and a wheat. Every one of them has won an award or several in NZ and abroad. All the beers are brewed onsite with no preservatives.
The resturant has two buildings next to eachother. Both have indoor and outdoor seating and both have TVs for viewing sporting events. You can tell one is more the resturante side and one is the live music venue. While the menu boasts a lot of seafood they can cater for vegatarians and vegans and try to use gluten free when possible.
There is a sister resturante in Christchurch.
