Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in Christchurch

“What an absolute gem of a find. Definitely will be returning. Wish I'd noticed the speciality flavoured hot chocolates earlier. Great excuse to return! Cinnamon scroll delicious, 4 shot medium long black outstanding.”

“Great coffee and chocolate inside the tannery.”

“Great new menu really tasty and beautifully presented, looking forward to next time!”

“What an experience. Out for a family dinner to celebrate our anniversary and it honestly couldn't have been better. Brilliant friendly staff, so helpful and onto it. Awesome atmosphere for the kids and us adults. Then the food, top notch and out in great time. You'll definitely be our first choice on family nights out. Thanks so much.”

“Tutto Bene delivers a fantastic dining experience with authentic Italian flavors and warm, attentive service. The pasta is freshly made, the sauces are rich and flavorful, and the wood-fired pizzas are a standout—crispy, light, and generously topped. The atmosphere is cozy yet vibrant, making it perfect for both a casual night out and a special occasion. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, adding to the overall excellent experience. Highly recommend the tiramisu to end on a high note. A must-visit spot for Italian food lovers!”

“Fantastic restaurant — one of the best Indian places around! Tried their chicken tikka masala and sahi paneer , both were bursting with flavour. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend Indian Ocean for anyone who loves authentic, high-quality Indian food.”

“Hands down the best food I have had in all of New Zealand. I went to Spice Paragon with zero expectations as most Thai food in Christchurch is quite average. The prices were a bit much for me at first glance, as I often run on tight budget. Most of the time I will argue that expensive food is not worth it past a certain price point, but that argument failed here. The food arrived within 10 min of ordering and was absolutely stunning visually. We ordered the Pad Thai and a beef dish with a red curry sauce (I can't remember the name) that the waitress recommended. The Pad Thai was delicious, but the beef dish stole the show. The meat was tender, full of flavor, and the sauce it was bathed in was delectable. Portion sizes were large. The waitstaff was exceptionally friendly and attentive for New Zealand standards. The evening atmosphere would make this restaurant a great spot for a date, or a nice dinner with friends and family. If you are looking for a nice dinner spot with bold flavors in Christchurch, this is the place!”

“Although the space is a bit small, but the foods were great, I love Thai salads; the price is acceptable. Incredibly friendly staff and owners. The service is great”

“We had the high tea which did not disappoint. It was hard to choose a favourite they were all so delicious and there was a good amount of food as well. Lovely waitress looking after us who took the time to explain all of the tasty treats. Highly recommend, I will certainly be back!!”

“We had a small memorial gathering here this week and the food was lovely and well priced. The staff were very accommodating. I would recommend this place and certainly will visit again.”

“Enjoyed my stay here and great food!!”

“Had a great meal here. Efficient, friendly staff. Generous portions. I had enough to ask for a take away container.”

“I had high tea. The tea itself was fantastic. The pastries and sandwiches were excellent. The staff was very attentive, maybe even over so in the beginning. And then it was hard to find someone when it was time to pay the bill. My one suggestion is that there's no way to take your tea bag out of the pot. Nothing to take it out with and no place to put it. And I don't always like my tea really strong, depending on what type of tea I get. They would also elevate the experience if they had some type of table cover.”

“Great place to eat with excellent food, very friendly staff and cool athmosphere.”

“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.”

“Unfortunately, there wasn't time to take photos, but if you have time, stop by and try their dishes. They are great tasting, portion size, and quality/price ratio. If it's Saturday night, you might have to wait 15/20 minutes, but it's worth it! They also have highchairs and baskets with toys (which was very useful for our little one).”

“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!”

“Great food, amazing chips best I have had in a long time, the soluvlakis we had were very filling and tasty good amount of meat and feash salad. Excellent customer service thank you so much!!”

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

“Lovely food, good price. Great size!”

“It's a really friendly New World it's a bit further than our local one but we worth the trip. Fresh meats, pies, pastries and great selection of fruit and veggies it also has ready made section that has a fantastic fresh bowl with rice, edamame and chicken.”

“Took an hour to serve 35 people all at once. We take our hats off to you. Lovely meal, great atmosphere, good prices.”

“What an outstanding morning, watching early rugby, breakfast and great coffee. Great start to the day. Jasmine was outstanding with her service. Very attentive and nothing was a problem. Always a great team. Look forward to the next game.”

“They have specials every day of the week. Love that it is supported by mature customers. The food is tasty, have had pizza on 2 occasions and a liver and bacon dish on one. The gravy is devine for meat lovers. Worth returning. The staff are very friendly and wrlcoming.”

“The waimakariri tavern is a gr8 place to visit for a quiet drink with some friends. on the weekends they also have live music Saturdays and Sundays if it's a lovely day it's awsome to sit outside and toe tap to the music”

“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. Great to see the quality experience wasn't a once off. Very friendly staff especially the mascot pup Oden. Service was fast friendly and no problem with my requests for a custom burger. Food was real, fresh and very enjoyable. Thanks guys we will be :-)”

“I needed a set of new tyres so Anton discussed my options to fit my budget. Tyres ordered & a few days later fitting and balanced. Great service thanks.”
