“Huge shoutout to the amazing staff. We're regulars (Hot chocs and cotto pizza) and I just want to say how fantastic everyone is. The food & drinks are delicious, the ambiance top notch (love the new look), but it's the staff that make the place extra awesome. Special shout out to everyone yesterday and today! (Sep 18-19)”

“Always a favourite!! Usually the family's go-to for takeout but on special occasions we dine in. The young guy server is fantastic. He's friendly, chatty, and explains the meals in knowledgeable depth. The meals themselves are great, I don't think our family has ever had a meal they didn't like here. I also highly recommend the mango lassi - it's criminal if you don't get one. :)”

“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.”

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

“Went for lunch and great ambiance to hang out. Guy at the counter was very nice and polite. He recommended us the food and their cake is good. Will definitely go again.”

“We were seated promptly and given food and drink menus. Both of us opted for the beef fillet, one rare and the other medium rare. They were done to perfection, melted in your mouth and were tasty. The accompanying vegetables were also first rate. There was a good wine list , although not all were available by the glass. My glass of Cabernet Sauvignon was a standout. We thought the atmosphere and service were great and would we would return here to eat.”

“I had a great experience at this restaurant the other day. The interior is both elegant and inviting, creating a sophisticated ambiance. We visited for lunch as a group of 8 including locals who are regulars here. Many of us opted for the highly recommended their “Chefs pie”: Beef & Ale Pie, a generous portion of flaky pastry filled with savory beef,buttery cabbage, creamy mashed potatoes, and rich gravy. It was a delicious and satisfying choice. The other dishes ordered by our group were equally well-received. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome. We'll definitely be returning to this wonderful restaurant.”

“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”

“Black Betty Café offers generous portions at reasonable prices, and the service is impressively quick. It’s a fantastic spot for brunch. I especially recommend the Eggs Benny—the house-made hollandaise is delicious. A cozy café that’s perfect for a quick catch-up.”

“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!”

“I love the amazing selection of pies you have. Even Duck. It's up there with the Fairlie pie and the West Coast Pie. My 2 Fav pie places. The pastry was flaky, crisp and well cooked. The pies I tried actually had large pieces of meat. Not your normal lots of saucy gunk and token meat. If you were closer to where I lived I am sure I would visit more... Perhaps that is a good thing weight wise. Good luck in your venture and current location.”

“Our food was very tasty and well portioned. They gave us some extras which were also delicious and the waiter was a very accommodating young lad. Music set the scene like a mediterranean elevator and was perfect to eat too. Hope all goes well with the new management. Will be back in the near future.”
