Patterson's Restaurant is the named dining room at Christchurch's Commodore Hotel, welcoming local diners as well as hotel guests from breakfast through dinner, seven days a week. The refurbished interior is joined by a terrace looking onto the garden, with heating extending its usefulness into cooler weather. Behind the restaurant is a family hospitality story reaching back to 1939 and continued by the Patterson brothers, giving the dining room a distinctive family-operated identity.

Breakfast can be as simple or expansive as the occasion requires. Continental and hot buffets cover fruit, pastries, cereals, cheeses, cooked eggs, bacon and other staples, while the à la carte menu gives familiar morning dishes more detail. Eggs Benedict uses potato rosti beneath the poached eggs and hollandaise, eggs in purgatory bring baked eggs to a capsicum, chorizo and tomato sauce, and ricotta pancakes finish with berry compote, plum ice cream and pecan praline.

Lunch and casual meals move confidently across several styles. Seafood chowder and garlic bread lead into sharing plates such as fried chicken with kimchi mayonnaise, steamed dumplings, salmon tartare and garlic prawns. Larger choices include a bacon-and-Swiss-cheese beef burger, blue-cod fish and chips, cauliflower risotto scented with truffle oils, house butter chicken and hand-stretched pizzas. The range is broad, yet repeated ingredients such as yuzu, kimchi, local salmon and seasonal vegetables help connect the European, Pacific and Asian influences.

Dinner adds dishes with a stronger occasion feel, including cast-iron seafood paella, honey-roast pork belly, smoked beef brisket, lamb rack and a changing market catch. The grill covers beef, venison and Akaroa salmon, while desserts run from passionfruit chocolate mousse and tiramisu to an ice-cream sandwich with maple, pecan and burnt honey. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free possibilities are marked or adaptable, and private spaces can accommodate banquets, celebrations and larger groups without losing the restaurant's regular menu identity.
