Food establishment in Christchurch

“we went in to this cafe for a coffee tea and some food. A group of about 6 of us would have chosen scones. but they had sold out of their cheese scones and said they would make some more for us hungry bikers. WELL they were the size of a very large muffin and were so soft and tasty. we were all a bit blown away. Thanks we will be back Helen”

Ancestral at Canty Cafe & Restaurant delivers a coffee‑and‑cabinet line‑up that’s straight to the point. Cabinet bakes and slices cover a quick stop. The team keeps things friendly and organised. Noodles arrive glossy and well seasoned.

“Have stayed at this hotel many times and I have to say it definitely is one of my favorite hotels to stay in lovely staff lovely rooms comfortable beds and spa jet bath in our room, the only thing I would recommend is getting the place fitted out with sound deading can hear people in room next to you other than that the restaurant food is pretty awesome, my main highlight everytime is the buffet breakfast it is top notch”

“Exquisite surrounding coupled with impeccable hosting and excellent menu promises this is an ideal amazing place for your coming dine or event”

“The papa joe is the best pasta I have ever had would definitely recommend to anyone I meet”

“Finding delicious gluten free foods can be challenging especially baked type goods. These are absolutely delicious and taste like normal pies that I know and love. Thank you! Review based on beef and gravy and butter chicken pies.”

“Excellent pies, great recommendation. Great variety of pies and still had mince and cheese at midday. $31 for three pies, and three Chelsea buns.”

“Only place for the Sri Lankan food items in Christchurch. Customer service was really great and highly appreciate his warm welcome. Good place to please your Sri Lankan tooth.”

“Good customer service and nice food. This was originally a 4 stars review but since my feedback is valued by the business owner, which shows that they really care about their customer, that I’m “upgrading” this to 5 stars. Well done!”

“It's a well-established bakery, likely bustling during peak hours. The decaf soy latte paired nicely with almond meal-spiced pastries. While not modern or trendy, the place offers ample seating and park space for weekday (visited around 3pm) coffee and treats.”

“Owners are beautiful people,great selection, fair prices”

“Great location and warm, respectful service. Lay out easy as to navigate.”

“I've been frequenting El Faro (formerly Cafe Metro) since the relaunch with the new owners, for the last couple of years. Each visit has been a delightful and consistent experience. Great variety of food, all delicious, fair portions and prices. Staff are always friendly and upbeat. I've also enjoyed the variety of one off menu specials that celebrate other cultures and countries. This non cafe goer has been slowly coming around thanks to El Faro. My thanks and gratitude to the Team!”

“Best Dairy in Aranui, Wainoni Area”

“One of the most well kept convenience stores in Christchurch! The service was friendly and welcoming, definitely recommend for generous sized ice creams!”

“Stumbled upon ten27 while waiting for my aunty to finish her dentist appointment, and what a lovely find. This cute café has a great selection of cabinet food. The teapots were such a nice touch (and big—definitely a bonus), and I loved the glass cups as well. We really enjoyed the scones and the savory muffin—both were fresh and delicious. The customer service was friendly and welcoming, with lots of smiles. A charming spot I’d happily return to.”

“A seagull stole my bacon, but the owner was incredibly generous and replaced it for me. Absolutely delicious food, excellent staff and a lovely setting for a late breakfast. Highly recommended ❤️”

“I have been going to Hungs takeaways for many years. One of the best Vietnamese and Chines takeaways in Christchurch.”

“Delicious and very satisfying food. Wonderful flavours and atmosphere that make one feel like they are in China. Highly recommended. Vegan and vegetarian are catered for, although limited. But hey, what is here is worth coming for.”
