“My first time here, this is probably now my favourite place to eat and drink, absolutely amazing! Honestly, we would order a taco, and in what seemed like the time it took them to walk to the kitchen and return, we had our food. And the flavour, was the perfect mix of texture, the right balance of ingredients, enough heat to know it was Mexican, but not overpowering. Do your self a favour, check this place out.”

“Love this little Bar, hidden gem. Great Chinese vibe, entry is via "dry cleaners" very different to other bars in Christchurch. Friendly staff, steating outside with blankets is a nice touch. Good cocktails and great $10 happy hour. Great to be able to order snacks from You Hanoi Me.”

“The food was lovely, we went specifically to hear the live music and have a few nibbles with our drinks. I am very critical when it comes to squid and what arrived on my plate was cooked to perfection. I loved the live music supplied by the Jinx Duo, the atmosphere they created was fun and good easy listening.”

“The restaurant itself is not that spectacular to dit in, but luckily the beach is just some meters away. Getting takeaway at eat at the beach is the best choice to make. We only gad to wait 20 minutes for two dishes, which were really tasty! The butter Naan was also good. This restaurant has a wide variety of non-vegetarian and vegetarian dishes which all have a good price.”

“I shoot regularly at The Bog Irish Bar & it’s always a great experience. Friendly staff, lively Irish vibe, & a bar that knows how to make the night fun. Always easy to get awesome shots.”

“I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Styx & Stone. From start to finish, everything was impeccable. For my main course, I ordered the Chicken Parmigiana — and it was delightful. Perfectly cooked, tender chicken breast, coated in a crisp, golden crumb, smothered in rich, tangy tomato sauce, and topped with beautifully melted cheese. Every bite was pure comfort and flavor. For dessert, I couldn’t resist the affogato — and it did not disappoint. The balance of smooth, creamy vanilla ice cream and bold, aromatic espresso was heavenly. It’s the kind of simple yet luxurious treat that ends a meal on the perfect note. To accompany it all, I had an iced latte which was perfectly balanced: strong, smooth coffee with just the right touch of milk — refreshing and satisfying. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy yet modern. Highly recommend Styx & Stone for anyone looking for an effortlessly enjoyable dining experience. I’ll definitely be back!”

“Lovely first time visit and we'll be back”

“What an awesome local, this was our second visit for a meal. We enjoyed our first visit last time we were in town and this visit was just as good.

Food was real, fresh and very enjoyable. Thanks guys we will be :-)”
