Food establishment in Christchurch

“Cool little cafe with nice selection of pastries and friendly staff Bright and cheerful in the morning!”

“Great place. Lots of different foods. Good value”

“Love these guys, small and friendly community-based store with great long-term staff who really know customer service to the nth degree. Tried the new click-and-collect, really great, you don't have to book a slot, they just email you once the order's been received and collated, pick up any time after that. Awesomeness!”

“Great meal perhaps a bit large. Great service lovely atmosphere. Would certainly go again”

“Awesome country pub with a good menu”

“Best kosco shop in christchurch. Quality customer service and lots of product deals.”

“Awesome experience. I came here on a Monday morning after dejectedly leaving Liberty Market, having been refused service when attempting to buy my groceries for the unforgivable sin of having a mask exemption. Not being able to wear a mask for medical reasons, I was unable to shop in Liberty Market's store for food when I came in on a Monday morning, and was asked to make an online booking time in order to come in and buy food (a functionality I later found is not even available on their website as promised!). I surmise that this option is perhaps simply offered in the moment by the staff at Liberty Market in order to placate those with mask exemptions, and avoid a fuss at the till without offering them an actual solution. I'll be bringing all of my business to Wholefoods on Riccarton Road from here on out, and have advised my mother to do the same. In addition to their lack of virtue signalling, the produce here at Wholefoods is also consistently fresher and I have noticed is restocked far more often than the produce at Liberty Market. An added bonus? Service was delivered with a smile. Keep on keeping on, guys! Yours, Another happy customer.”

“Best dairy! Very friendly staff. Makes you feel very welcome. Cold drinks.”

“This bakery is amazing! Their desserts are super tasty - apple pastries and caramel slices are my personal favourites. The staff is super friendly and helpful too. Definitely worth a visit if you love sweets!”

“The workers here are ALWAYS so sweet and friendly! Always have great special on fruit and veges! And they always look fresh! The store itself, is always well displayed and clean!”

“Very nice atmosphere and breakfast burger is an awesome treat!”

“The veg and creme cheese filo was so delicious. The staff made us a fresh croissant to suit our taste which was just marvelous. It's hard to get a good hot chocolate these days but this one was perfect! The new caramel latte was also scrumptious and the staff so friendly. Nice and warm inside on a winter's day”

“Lovely friendly guy. Had the chowder and full of good stuff but on this occasion a touch to salty for my liking. There is a full menu though at very reasonable prices so will def be back in the new year to try other items. Choice of sunny outside dining or sheltered inside and a daily paper to read. Recommended.”

“This place is a must try! Awesome staff, amazing, tasty and well presented food. The coffee is on point every time and hands down the best Salmon Eggs Benedict I have ever tasted! This place truly is 'well worth finding' !! :)”

“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 :-)”

“Great staff, always friendly and welcoming with a great atmosphere and good people.”

“Love this pizza shop since it has opened good selection, tidy, definitely recommend”

“Wonderful selection of authentic regional dishes, clean display and layout, easy to read menu and signage, friendly service from lovely staff.”

“Last of the local pubs. Support them. I remember it from the TV program”

“Great pub for a meet-up with mates & friendly staff to boot. Stopped in for a "chinwag" & beer last week, happened to be 'happy hour' which was a bonus & helped the words flow. Comfortable warm venue centrally located in Lincoln”

“Our large group enjoyed superb service and each of us was impressed with the dishes we chose. Each was beautifully presented and tasted delicious.”

“Absolutely love this place. We have had it +5 times and it never fails! The Pad Thai is so delicious and full of flavour, also has decent veges! The green curry is devine! We love the vegetarian wontons too. There is always a lovely man on the phone when you confirm your online order. Portion sizes are excellent too.”

“Enjoyed my stay here and great food!!”

“Really enjoyed the takeaway from here! The food was tasty and packed well, and they even gave me a free Sprite which was such a nice touch. Great service, will definitely order again”

“Avonhead takeaways has the best Taiwanese crispy chicken in town. We also tried their Korean fried chicken and octopus balls. Very yummy Asian street food with good value for money.”

“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.”

“The team here support the local LEGO group, if you're after LEGO, look no further. On multiple occasions I have contacted them to express interest in yet to be released sets. They have taken down my contact details, set the item aside when stock came in, then called me back to let me know it's ready. Kudos to whatever system to they're using to keep track of these requests, as sometimes the products haven't reached NZ until months after my initial contact. To top it all off they even ensure you get your desired minifig in the blind bags. The prices can be a little higher than the likes of Kmart or The Warehouse, but it's worth it.”

“Found this little gem around corner from my motel. Staff were great, friendly and polite. Plenty of space and meals etc brought to your table. Food prepared fresh and coffee was very good too. Plus I got sandwiches to take out ,well filled too. Will be back next trip to Christchurch. Highly Recommended.”

“My friend and I visited this cocktail bar when we were in Christchurch a few weeks ago, and had a great time. We came here because I found this place online while we were planning and said I really wanted to go. It was hard to pick what to order because everything on the menu sounded fantastic. We're both fans of interesting signature drinks at cocktail bars, and this bar had heaps of them. I had the Merchant's Mark and my friend had the Shaitan's Favour and both drinks were fantastic. I'd recommend them both. Even though the place got a bit busy, the bartender was friendly and approachable without being invasive or intrusive. We sat right at the bar and really enjoyed watching the bartender at work, because it was clear he was extremely skilled at his job. We had a great chat with him about different spirits and liqueurs as well.”
