“what a great spot for breakfast with the family. delicious eggs benedict, excellent plating and presentation, and great staff as well! they have plenty of gluten free goodies as well”

“Really enjoyed the food, atmosphere and service. Very attentive helpful staff. Enjoyed trying a couple of cocktails. Really enjoyed the drama of the stone grills. Great touch with the branded burger buns. Only slight improvement would be for the Jameson jeus as it had no flavour at all, but a super easy fix”

“Delicious new muesli on breakfast menu. Also makes a tasty, moreish scroggin for scoffing on the go. Was peaceful when myself and 11 month old came in for coffee and food. Team were very accomodating, adapting breakfast with more yogurt so baby could have some too. Amazing coffee.”

“Really cool place & the bar had a great atmosphere. The people running the venue were lovely and very helpful. It is by a main road but great value for what you get and conveniently close to the airport.”

“Pies are full of real food. $10 for a plain mince but very tasty. Also got some sweet treats. Beautiful taste, spoilt for choice. Thanking Sheffield Pies for their response: Just to clarify, our items were 'rounded' up so my apologies for not specifying the correct price per item. Thank you for doing so. I hope this hasn't been taken in the wrong light but just as an aside, I should have got another pie! They were delicious.”

“Great fun for all ages. My daughters loved the pony rides. They were a bit nervous, but the people working the pony rides were so nice and made my girls comfortable and have an awesome time. Lots of other beautiful and interesting animals to see and feed.”

“My favorite cinema in Christchurch. Titan luxe is a great experience - sound is amazing, the seats are comfortable, and the food meets expectations. Can't wait to go here again.”

“If they leave me I would go there every night This is literally my favourite waffle shop in city by far and they have friendly customer service too I strongly suggest it to everyone specially the Nutella and strawberry waffle one 11/10”

“Best place in town for corn chips and dip! The queso dip is insane. I had to order some to take home with me after our meal. Frozen margaritas are my favourite also. Will be back regularly for sure!”

“Great location for an airport hotel and surprisingly great food great view and wonderful staff. Highly recommend this as a hotel to stay before or after your flight. Beds were very comfortable and spacious rooms with good showers. Buffet breakfast is a must with great selections and as a platinum member we were given barista coffee. Unfortunately there wasn’t an executive lounge for us but still a great hotel.”

“We are visiting Chch and had the crispy pork pad Thai and it was the best we’ve ever had. Also the peanut satay chicken and that also was so delicious as was the BBQ pork fried rice, moneybags and the spring rolls were yummy. Highly recommend. We can’t wait to try it again soon. Thank you .”

“Have been going here for 15+years, taste hasn’t changed, quality ingredients and taste, always come back”

“Food that worth waiting for. Reasonable price. Good food. Great chef.”

“We only stopped in to get some bubble tea but now we wish we would've gotten a meal here. The bubble tea is the best we've yet to have it was so good. It was so flavorful and tasty, it surprised us how good it was. Highly recommend trying the classic bubble tea, you won't be disappointed.”

“It was just amazing! We stopped by a few minutes before 2pm - didn't know that the kitchen closes at 2pm. They didn't send us away but seated us with a smile! Food was delicious, big portion.. really great experience thank you!:)”

“Just had a great meal at Saket, our first time since the refit. They have done a great job feels so much bigger and the seats are so comfortable. Excellent food and now excellent dining experience. Highly recommend.”

“So good, nicest Thai food I've had in a while! Lovely service too. As a vegetarian, they specially made my pad thai for me to have tofu instead of meat which was a really nice gesture. :)”

“Had the Egg Burger and it was hot, fresh, and delicious - now that’s some five star take-out”

“I recently dined in with friends for lunch, and it was an amazing experience! I tried the Hokkaido Miso Tonkotsu Ramen, and I have to say, it’s an absolute must-try. The rich, flavorful broth and perfectly cooked noodles made for an unforgettable dish”

“The food was little bit too sweat but not too salty. Amount was huge! All foods were tasty and super fast to go. I will definitely visit here again when I will visit Hornby!”

“Excellent service, food was ready fast, good price, great vegetable selection in the black bean beef and meat very tender, sweet and sour pork tender and so yummy, will definitely go back.”

“Great shop. Only had fish and chips from them (a few times) and haven't been disappointed once. Very friendly staff. Clean shop. Indoor seating options. Love it.”

“Ok, this place is just heaven on earth. I can't recommend it enough. The food is divine. I mean heavenly off the charts delicious. They have a seafood chowder to rave and remember. All ingredients were fresh and the seasoning just perfect. The place is simple and doesn't look like much, but it really is a must for the soul. Great selection of wines for a cafe. We had the beef casserole and spicy prawns with some house cocktails and even the chicken sandwich was to die for. Sabina is the most delightful and charismatic woman. Her warm and caring hospitality were truly memorable. We sure hope she comes visit us to Mexico. She freely and thoughtfully shared her advice about travelling around NZ. Honestly, we would dine here if we lived in NZ. The flavours will live in our memory forever. Thank you for a great experience”

“I thouroughly loved their steak, it was well done to congratulations good. The mocktails are pretty refreshing too with an interesting blend that I didn't expect to be that good. I probably would have enjoyed their venison pasta (I forgot whatever its called) better if it wasnt for me arriving after a heavy late lunch. Overall good experience”

“As a local we are spoilt for choice, awesome bakery, Indian ,chinese and the best rice balls period. But once a week or so i get my regular large mixed meat on salad with Aioli and sweet chilli sauce, pita bread on the side. Perfect, i phone in and its ready when they said , especially love the salad strangely, they ask, but i say all salads. I recommend”
