“Cool, casual, comfortable atmosphere w/welcoming, warm service and all around wonderful, what a gem! Cascade very much has a Las Vegas speakeasy feel, as in you need to know in order to get it. What a pleasure! Food portions are generous. Drinks are creative and well done. The ambiance is lovely. Service is second to none. Cascade is an excellent place to be!”

“Great friendly local, brand new gaming room, toilets were so clean, will be back”

“Woah...portions are BIG....ribs were really nice and if you are not too hungry, maybe a starter portion is sufficient. their burger was also super, and beer to go with it. all good. Just be careful though if u are ordering sides, be clear what you ordered and how much extra it will cost. I ordered a side I thought came with the main course and ended up paying close to $10 for the side.”

“Our new go to local, food always fast, nice substantial. Staff are awesome and attentive to requests and needs.”

“Fantastic food and highly respectful wait staff. I loved the Bombay chicken... It was absolutely out of this world. The best part is that you can get Uber eats from this establishment! For the best curry in Christchurch I would say that Corianders is the place to go. They have a superb range of gluten free options.”

“Corianders Rolleston is an excellent place to dine. We enjoyed the atmosphere, delicious food and excellent service. We will definitely go there again.”

“Awesome place for a meal and few beers. Great staff and service. Very homely and lovely food. Enjoyable evening.”

“Went on Sunday for my wife's birthday, not too busy at 6pm, friendly staff, price was a bit high (but not too bad) and the food was delicious. I had the three sausage meal which was good, my wife had the pork belly which was beautifully tender (the crackling was very salty but when drunk with the suggested cider was just right).”

“Great pub to have a catch up and have a cold beer”

“We visited La Luna last night and were so impressed! The pork belly was absolutely delicious – perfectly crispy skin and juicy, tender meat. Great value for money and the staff were super friendly.Highly recommended❤️❤️❤️”

“Best place in New Zealand for Australians to eat and drink. Great friendly staff, owners are friendly and very helpful. $25 parmi or ribs with a beer, wine, spirit or soft drink! We ate here every night and even went for the $12 bacon and eggs with free coffee one morning. Could not recommend enough! Large servings and unbelievable quality!!”

“We had the most amazing time here and didn’t want to leave! Perfect location just a bus ride into the city which leaves from outside. The room was perfect exactly what we needed and the bed was so comfortable. The food in the restaurant/bar was amazing and extra points for the good Guiness which my partner said was the best one he’s had in New Zealand!! Top class service and hospitality, shoutout to the manager who really engaged with us throughout our trip and who was always up for a chat, he took care of everything we needed throughout our trip and made us feel so welcome. Would definitely recommend staying here to everyone traveling to Christchurch and would love to return again.”

“Very warm and welcoming place. It is what one would imagine as a place to eat while thinking about a village or a small town like Lincoln. The food is good. I had so many good memories about this place. On a cold and windy day getting a coffee for myself and hot chocolate for my kids. On Friday after long and exhausting week lunch coffee with a pie. And today with all the rain we get at the moment delicious spicy pumpkin soup was the most appreciated thing for me and my wife.”
