Bessie is a steak restaurant on the ground floor of a building on St Asaph Street in Christchurch's central city. It describes itself as a Michelin-selected steak restaurant and is operated by Cook Brothers Hospitality Group, according to the website's copyright notice.
The focus is dry-aged beef. Cuts are aged for a minimum of 45 days in an on-site drying room, then cooked in a charcoal oven at 250°C. The menu features top-graded Canterbury meat as well as some less common cuts, paired with New Zealand produce and wines from around the world.
The website lists dinner service only, with slightly different hours on Friday and Saturday than the rest of the week. It has a dedicated Private Dining page, which indicates the venue takes group bookings, but details such as room size and capacity are not given on the homepage and would need to be confirmed with the restaurant.
No chef or founding date is named on the site.
