Pasta Night
Our weekly special celebrating the Italian roots of Argentine cuisine. Hand-cut pappardelle with slow-braised ragu or our signature red and white sauce.
Wood-fired asado, house-made empanadas, Argentine wine and warm hospitality. Simple food, cooked properly. No shortcuts.
A quincho is where people gather around the fire. Family, friends, stories, wine, meat, bread, sauce, and the kind of meal that makes everyone slow down for a bit.
At El Quincho, we bring that spirit to Christchurch through wood-fire cooking, honest ingredients, and food made from scratch. It is not complicated. It just takes care, time, and a few good embers.
