Food establishment in Christchurch

“While visiting Christchurch, I stumbled across this gem and made it my go-to please for breakfast. The owner (now nicknamed Auntie) and her team are full of life and are passionate about each customer's experience with food.”

“Staff here are great, prices not bad either.”

“Kells is the truckers dream stop... always plenty of fresh food, sandwiches, a good selection of pies and drinks... and good coffee. If you're around Amberley or heading through and need a snack for your journey... Kells NEEDS to be in your plans for the journey. Cheese scones heated with butter for the win...”

“Excellent Sticky Date Pudding with salty caramel ice-cream. Seated next to the moving trams in outside seating. Played my favorite Phil Collins music.”

“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”

“Love this place. High quality cakes, pies, savouries and other baked goods. Also a neat wee cafe to have a coffee (which are also great). Always get out birthday cakes here too. Staff are super friendly and really take care of you. Highly recommended.”

“Fantastic service, food, presentation and coffee. The owners and the team are super friendly. The cappuccino is top tier. The hollandaise on the eggs benny was probably one of the best that I've had. Great cafe in Bishopdale!”

“A great buy, the product was just what I needed, and it was very easy, to locate in the store, without assistance. Would strongly recommend, to shop from this Barrington Store, it is conveniently close to Fresh Choice, has a great layout, and often they have tremendous bargains, on products, that are nearing their expiry date.”

“Will definitely be going back - I got a week's worth of fruit and veggies for my family for ~$35. Very impressed with the quality and selection!”

“Our favorite cafe we stopped at on our whole trip. The vibes are cozy, the views of Christchurch are wonderful, and the food and drinks were delicious. 10/10 must stop here.”

“Very nice place, got a nice sausage roll and a coffee that was well made. We had a good time and will come again”

“We were after a delicious NZ lamb dinner and Pedro's exceeded our expectations. Delicious tender slow cooked lamb shoulder served with a generous amount of sliced potatoes and jus. Plenty for 3 adults with some to spare! We thoroughly enjoyed our first dinner in Christchurch and will stop by the Queenstown Pedro's when we get there next weekend too!”

“Wonderful cafe. Lovely and accommodating lady who served me. Very nice friand and one of best long blacks I’ve ever had”

“The place has 3 floors with plenty of seating. The rooftop is perfect for some water views and sunshine. The staff are so friendly and they even have some card games to play. The beer is all locally brewed and great! We loved the IPA. The edamame was so unique with miso sauce!!”

“As an expat whenever I'm back in Christchurch I make an effort to get here for the coffee, best Vanilla latte anywhere I've been in the world and great service, highly reccomended.”

“This place reminds me of some of the great cafes in Melbourne. Very well lit, clean, refreshing warehouse style cafe. Nice selection of small simple takeaway food options and treats. Coffee highly recommended.”

“Real green tea, delicious latte and yummy sandwiches: haloumi and chicken bap. Very kind service. It was never too busy the whole time we were there. Several people stopped in for a takeaway chicken sandwich. That must be a local secret, I'll have to try it soon.”

“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.”

“A peaceful and elegant oasis in the middle of Christchurch. Staffed by sophisticated gentlemen and beautiful women dressed in traditional sarees and the gift shop is like a Christmas tree. Tried their burger, masala chai, chef special and delicious chocolate cake. One of the best meals we’ve had.”

“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!”

“I go there almost every week with a coffee group. They know my order so well, now i dont even have to ask. The coffee is great (self confessed coffee snob. I will not drink instant) the breakfast, eggs on sourbread toast is what I usually order. It is consistently fabulous every time, thats why I order the same thing. Because I know it is great. The place is clean, tidy. Staff are friendly and inviting. Service is outstanding. I am in a wheelchair and they accommodate my needs..I cannot recommend enough..I tell other people to go there and they trust me because I am so fussy. 5/5 from me..thank you for making Fridays a day to look forward to. I really appreciate it. :)”

“Was totally unprepared for the quality of the food that arrived at our table - Creamy Mushrooms and Lambs Fry and Bacon. It took a little time to prepare because everything was freshly cooked. My lambs fry took me back some 75 years to my grandmother’s kitchen which was not too far from where Kai Kitchen is today. Terrific atmosphere, ever so friendly staff. Do try it - it is a visit you won’t regret.”

“Really good place to host events. Great spot”

“A hidden gem! Have popped in a few times while over this side of town and am always very pleased. Vibrant atmosphere and lovely decor. Very friendly and efficient staff. Lots of options for hot and cold food. Great prices and portion sizes. Food is always fresh, beautiful and delicious. Highly recommend!”

“There are heaps of great restaurants here. I went with a burger this time, but it was a tough choice with so many good options. I’ll definitely be back to try some of the other places later.”

“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!”

“The food was outstanding, and the staff made the busy atmosphere feel warm and welcoming. Thankyou Ranjeet and Kim! See you soon! I love the energy!”

“We went for dinner. The food was excellent, the staff very friendly, and the price-quality ratio was more than fair. We ate chicken tikka as an entrée, the main dishes were lamb rogan josh and chicken kadai, and the chosen breads were keema naan and onion kulcha. Everything was so delicious! We will be back for more. Thanks, guys!”

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

“Flavourful great meals. the sauce is amazing. I love curry and this takeaway knows how to make an authentic delicious curry. Love going here, best one in the area.”
