“Lovely first time visit and we'll be back”

“What an outstanding morning, watching early rugby, breakfast and great coffee. Great start to the day. Jasmine was outstanding with her service. Very attentive and nothing was a problem. Always a great team. Look forward to the next game.”

“Great food, amazing chips best I have had in a long time, the soluvlakis we had were very filling and tasty good amount of meat and feash salad. Excellent customer service thank you so much!!”

“Excellent lunch today. Staff and service exemplary. My friend and I had lots of catching up to do and we weren't hassled to leave. Thankfully quite time of day. We will be back!!!”

“Although the space is a bit small, but the foods were great, I love Thai salads; the price is acceptable. Incredibly friendly staff and owners. The service is great”

“Took an hour to serve 35 people all at once. We take our hats off to you. Lovely meal, great atmosphere, good prices.”

“I've been coming to this place for years, since it opened and love it for a quiet sit down. The cheese scones I genuinely rate as the best in New Zealand. Very unique, light and fluffy on the inside with a nice crust on the outside. Huge too.”

“What an experience. Out for a family dinner to celebrate our anniversary and it honestly couldn't have been better. Brilliant friendly staff, so helpful and onto it. Awesome atmosphere for the kids and us adults. Then the food, top notch and out in great time. You'll definitely be our first choice on family nights out. Thanks so much.”

“Had a great meal here. Efficient, friendly staff. Generous portions. I had enough to ask for a take away container.”

“Clean shop, great product. Fish is nice and thick with a clean batter. Staff are nice and can understand the order! The hotdog doesn't have a stick which was werid. Scoop size is very big. One scoop is huge!”

“The food and service were incredible and very well done. It was definitely cramped as there were a few groups of people, but the order did take a bit to come but it was delicious in the end and worth the wait. The waffles were made well and had a generous amount of toppings and the crepe was made well also with generous amount of filling. Overall good experience and would eat again.”

“Best Korean restaurant in Christchurch, a must to visit if you live here or just passing by. The waiter( I guessing might be the boss’s son) is super friendly, choices of food is awesome ( a la carte or buffet style), great environment to suit family with children or friends, what else can you ask for. Highly recommended !!”

“We had a lovely lunch at Winnie Bagoes with my work crew yesterday. It was a beautiful day, so we sat outside ... perfect spot to enjoy the sun and people watch. Service was excellent from the moment we arrived. Our server quickly put the umbrella up, took our drink orders, and was back in no time with them. He handled all our pizza questions like a pro — friendly, clear, and efficient. The pizzas were delicious (as always), and everything came out promptly. A relaxed, sunny lunch with great service and great food. Would definitely recommend for a casual group lunch in town.”

“Great venue, delicious food. Service not the best as it was too busy and wait staff don’t look up when walking around to see if they could help anyone. Took us ages to place an order so eventually I went and asked if I could place an order. 55 minutes later the food arrived. We were offered 2 drinks as an apology without requesting anything. We did make a booking and recommend you book as restaurant was full for Sunday lunch. We were not in a rush so all was good.”
