“A fabulous experience! The staff were great, very friendly, welcoming and attentive. The food was incredible, so tasty and perfectly cooked. The four of us shared the hummus (which is awesome), the prawns (best ever!), haloumi (so good), tuna (just amazing flavour!) And mains of the pork belly (melt in your mouth with crunchy crackling) and lamb (exceptional taste and fall apart, cooked to perfection!!). They have a great wine list and comprehensive cocktail selection too. Highly recommend, fantastic dining experience.”

“We got the platter for 2 and every element of the dish was considered delicious. The standout is the waffle fries, sausage and the ribs. The fries are really crispy and flavoured perfectly. Also! The yeaboi sauce at the side really adds flavours to the meat, do add it to your meats! Staff was friendly and service was prompt, recommended.”

“Troy and the team at BEERS/Bacon Bros sorted us out by catering for our wedding. The food truck setup was brilliant and the food was absolutely sensational, with everyone commenting on how good it was. We had a huge selection to choose from that catered for everyone including pork ends, pulled lamb, beef brisket, chicken wings, BBQ jackfruit, slider buns, chips, deep fried cauli, broc, onion rings and slaw. They made life on the wedding day super easy and everything ran perfectly. Would highly recommend these guys for wedding catering or just a feed instore.”

“We have been going to Takao as a family for years now and are always so happy with the food and service.”

“Wonderful, beautifully restored old building. Very central location right opposite the city tram stop and a very short walk to museum and Botanical Gardens. Rooms well appointed and impeccably clean. Great continental brekky provided as part of the room tariff. Service was outstanding. Cannot fault and will return.”

“Amazing Indian takeaway. Very friendly. Chef Special Tikka and Dal is the best in town. Worth the drive.”

“So. Freaking. Good. Best sushi I have had in Christchurch in my 13+ years of living here. Down towards the end of the main building at the Tannery, Nori Table offers a great selection of sushi from their cabinet - it's predominantly a select your own kinda place. But they have a small menu too, which looks like it changes often. You have to try their tempura salmon sushi, and the mini chicken yakitori bamboo skewers are amazing. It's ALL good!”

“One of the best Sri Lankan food place in Christchurch,”

“These exquisite embroidered pictures are a must see. The gardens surrounded by decking are very calming and restful. A really pleasant morning's outing.”

“Delicious, authentic Indian meals, and Vegan too, all in a busy shopping marketplace. The masala Chai tea was as good as any upscale Indian restaurant I've been to!”

“Sudina is a lovely place to stay. The rooms are nicely appointed with rainshowers, hair driers and straighteners, blackout curtains and very comfortable beds. The restaurant is nice too and the staff are very helpful and attentive. Definitely recommend! We had a lovely stay.”

“Sumner is a gem . Sea and surf exhilarating and just across the road from the guest house. Many local restaurants and bars and a regular, frequent bus service into Christchurch”

“We are SO glad we found this place. We have only tried it on Uber Eats. We have tried around 4 Thai places on Uber and have been disappointed in all of them until now. Kin Kin is very clean food, very tasty and consistent. So far we have had the spring rolls, sweet and sour , satay, combo fried rice. All are very tasty. We are looking forward to trying other meals now that we know they are good! Thank you so much, please keep up the great quality”

“Lovely home away from home. Comfy, well decorated, pleasant & inviting. Great breakfast. Lovely garden. Welcoming hosts. Near efficient public transport into the city. I’ll stay here again.”

It was great to be able to have a chat with the owner about the history of this great place. His energy and friendliness shows such a passion for his food. We will all be spreading the word and will be back. Congrats team.”
