Food establishment in New Zealand

“Delicious! Smash Browns and Chicken Fenders were very tasty and addictive. We felt they were perfectly seasoned, though some might find them a tad too salty depending on your preference. There are plant-based vegan and vegetarian options too. Great for a quick bite before or after flights or while waiting for your rental vehicle nearby. About a 10min walk from the airport terminal. There are boards showing real-time updates of departing and arriving flights. We dropped by for our first meal in the country after flying in, and came again for our final meal before flying off. Plenty of parking outside. Tables are a little sticky, and sometimes the benches during lunch hour have crumbs; could do with more thorough cleaning.”

“Has to be the best Thai Restsurant in Christchurch .Food is the freshest and cooked to perfection. The restaurant is warm and beautifully presented. We would live to eat every night here. The food is presented amazingly. I recommend this place 100 per Noxcent. Thanks”

“We were warmly greeted on arrival and this set the tone for the rest of the evening. The food was outstanding, we shared 4 plates - the asparagus, the venison tataki, the lamb and the potatoes. Each plate was generous and beautifully presented. There was obviously a lot of love and care taking place in the kitchen, and we certainly benefitted! Overall a 5 star experience.”

“Tasty comfy in big portion fresh sashimi. Also surprised with their sizzling lamb. It was perfectly cook soooo juicy and tanky and don't forget to order their desert!”

“Sakura is a real “cherry” treasure well hidden inside Asian Mall. When we first found it, we couldn’t believe our luck. Small , family run Japanese restaurant with amazing options of both vegan and not vegan food. Our favourites are Agedashi Tofu, veggie tempura and seaweed salad which is must try ! There are some choices of sushi including vegetarian but if you ask they make it vegan. Plenty of choice of Sake as well for connoisseur of that drink. Staff is always nice and friendly and very polite. Since tables are limited booking is recommended especially on weekends as place is always packed. Sakura is No. 1 Japanese restaurant in town without doubt!”

“We had such a great experience for our New Year’s Eve dinner that we came again for my father in-law’s birthday! The set menu for New Year’s Eve was absolutely delicious! We had the same waitress both times and she made the experience exceptional (her name is Janice from Germany-sorry for not spelling her name correctly). She is a rockstar! When we came for the regular menu, and everything tasted so good! It is a very unique restaurant and wish there were more like this! (The 200 g Canterbury beef fillet is a must! The homemade bread is delicious and so is the soup special)”

“So happy to have found this place! Such a wee gem and the boys and girls working there loving it and you can tell. The atmosphere, the food, the experience- Fantastic!! Can’t wait to be back and we will!!”

“I think I’ve found my new favourite bakery. Everything I’ve tried so far has been spot on. Really impressed. Loved the strawberry tart especially - buttery shell, light custard and juicy strawberries.”

“Absolutely delicious pizza and the best calamari I’ve ever had in my life! The atmosphere is lovely and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place — you must try it ! ❤️”

“The NEW chicken parmi was absolutely sensational, Amazing food, Amazing Staff Would highly recommended stopping by!”

“The soy latte in our keepcup was exceptional. We had hoped to try the famous cheesecake, but unfortunately, it was already sold out by 1 pm. We'll have to give it a try next time we visit.”

“Outstanding coffee! From thr moment I walked in i got tue feeling these guys know coffee and it didn't disappoint. The scone was one of the best ive had lately. 100% stopping when I return south”

“Lovely cafe. Good selection of brunch options including vegan meals. Coffee is also very good. Perfect spot for breakfast/brunch.”

“The Piccolo, double shot really wake me up !”

“An adorable cafe, with delicious food, nice atmosphere and great service and delicious coffee. All the important things.”

“Great food and great service with very nice coffee, not much else to say, limited seating but great pricing and along the tram line so get a good view too, definitely recommend”

“Quaint wee place, lovely staff, coffee superb! Will definitely be back ☕”

“Great coffee, great toasties, nice bike ride to quarry and back. Will be back. Well done team.”

“I totally endorse the positive comments. Sarah (or SJ as I now know her) may well be the best barista I have chanced upon. She simply makes the best coffee without question. Extremely efficient. Knows my name, knows my car, knows my coffee of choice. She knows where I am in the line. I don't have to order, I simply sit down, converse with her and it's all done. It's like being Norm on Cheers (for those of that dynasty). Absolutely brilliant. I travel from Lincoln just for the friendly face, fantastic service and good banter. I am now waiting for the batch of coffee and walnut muffins to greet me as I frequent the establishment once again ..”

“Nice and cozy atmosphere. Food to choose from their menu or cabinets. Good service as well.”

“Great staff, grwat coffee. Highly recommended”

“Grizzly always has the nicest baked goods. Their potato sourdough kicks arse, I really wish that they had it on offer more often but it seems to be pretty common at Christmas, as I've gotten to use it for the most killer post-xmas leftover sandwiches for the past few years.”

“If you are staying near Kilmore street or Durham street and looking for delicious coffee and breakfast, must visit this place. Staff is super friendly and ambience is really good.”

“Lovely food & service! All food made on site. Just as delicious as the food they serve for dinners! Best cheese scones!”

“Good service! Staff are all friendly, the new shop, very big. U can find anything which u want , good price! Best place”

“I have never eaten at this place as I usually order their food on Uber eats. Today i made my order but they had forgotten my drink. I rang and spoke to the manager asking for a refund. He was unable to do this and said he would get back to me about what he would do. Within the next 20 mins, he had delivered my drink himself and gave me another one for free. I just want to say how thankful I am to him and his staff for being so kind as to go out of his way to personally deliver the drinks himself. Not to mention, the food is amazing! I would highly recommend this place to others!”

“They are dog friendly and let the dogs inside. Super sweet and accommodating staff who are happy to strike up a chat. The layout is wonderful. This was my second time going, their cabinet food is wonderful but even for the coffee stop we did it’s such a treat.”

“Friendly and attentive staff, yummy food at a decent price, nice view over the estuary. Veggie Grill was an unexpected delight not normally afforded to vegetarians visiting a steakhouse!”
