“Absolutely excellent food at good prices! The inside of the cafe is not super cute but it's worth it.”

“One of our favourite cafes, always friendly, great food and a lovely setting with a big garden.”

“This cafe is absolutely gorgeous! The outdoor seating area is such a treat – you even get a free concert from the local birds! I tried the seafood chowder and the Morning smoothie, and both were amazing. Huge shoutout to Sophie for the super friendly and professional service! This place totally made my day.”

“It’s good that we have a indian grocery here and we can buy our desire items for here”

“Oddfellows has consistently good coffee, and a delicious selection of cabinet food. Everything I have tried from here has been fantastic, they never disappoint! Having a gluten free scone or similar baked item would be an asset”

“Had the most amazing experience at Clink Restaurant in Sumner! The food, drinks, and service were all outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. They were so accommodating with gluten-free options, which made dining there completely stress-free. It was such a hit from start to finish. We all can’t wait to go back!”

“I wish I had opportunity to pass through Lincoln more in order to eat here more! Always my stop after a skate from Wigram on the Lil River Trail. No menu items available by the time I get there but even their cupboard food and definitely their coffee provide such comfort and happiness. I managed to try their soup too and that was super delish!”

“What a great experience. Very cool barman who presented us with hot water bottles upon arrival, helped us choose a table and put the heater on above us. He looked after us so well and because of him we stayed a lot longer than we had intended and spent a lot more than we would have.”

“Scott and his team at Redcliffs Auto Centre did a great job for me on a recent WoF inspection. He shuffled his busy appointment schedule to accommodate my requests and then finished the work promptly and efficiently. His shop will be my “go to” preference for future repairs and maintenance. Highly recommended”

“Yum! Enjoyed my 'chicken eggs benedict' this morning. Staff were also friendly and smiling. A great start to the day :)”

“Had an almond croissant and a long black. The coffee was okay. However, it was a bit bitter so I expect the espresso is overextracted. Price was good as seen In one of my photos The croissant was one of the best pastries I have ever had. It was well sized and every bite was delicious. I have also had their breads before and will say that everything they bake is very high quality and very reasonable in price considering what you get. Overall i would heavily recommend this place.”

“Have eaten here many times and it’s great every time. I love how I am able to bring my dog inside as it’s dog friendly here! Food is always amazing and their smoothies are delicious. Service is always friendly, Definitely recommend coming here!”

“Cute cosy bar with a fun atmosphere. I learned that Double Brown was a craft beer, and highly revered in this venue.”

“The sushi rice was perfectly prepared, and the tonkatsu sushi was surprisingly delicious and remained delightfully crunchy despite being on display in the afternoon. Additionally, the discount offered after 3pm is a great deal. If only the wasabi and ginger could be freshly made from scratch, it would elevate the overall dining experience.”

“The pizza here was really good—fresh, tasty, and loaded with toppings. The crust was just right, not too thick or thin. The staff were polite and the service was quick. A nice place to grab a pizza with friends. Would happily visit again!”

“Seoulful tastes, Seoulful vibe! Tried the chicken on rice, gimbap, tteokbokki, and pork cutlet — just like home. Clean flavours, tidy presentation, spotless kitchen, and genuinely kind service. Korean comfort done right in Christchurch.”

“Delicious dinner beautifully presented, Earl has always been our top 5 restaurant choice to dine out in Christchurch! A restaurant that can’t fault their foods would definitely recommend and return to samplings more of their other new dishes in Spring season!”

“If you want good, well priced Indian food. This is your place. Lunch deals great value”

“If you're craving authentic Indian flavours in Christchurch, Saffron Spice in Hornby is the place I keep coming back to,and for good reason. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with the comforting aroma of spices and a team that treats you like family. The ambience is relaxed yet vibrant, perfect for a casual dinner or a celebratory feast. What sets Saffron Spice apart? Consistency. Their biryani is a personal favourite,fragrant, generous, and packed with flavour. And if you're into heat, the vindaloo delivers a satisfying kick without overpowering the dish. Service is always prompt and friendly, with staff happy to guide you through the menu or tweak spice levels to suit your taste. It’s the kind of place where you feel looked after, not just served. Whether I’m grabbing a quick takeaway or settling in for a slow meal with friends, Saffron Spice never disappoints. It’s my go-to spot in Hornby when I want food that’s bold, comforting, and unmistakably Indian.”
