Black and White Coffee Cartel
I love the design of all of the Black & White coffee places that have literally sprung up all over Christchurch. The one pictured is located in the building that’s by the Lichfield Street Parking building.

No Menu Monday at the Evil Genius Bar, Cafe and Restaurant in Ferrymead
The Evil Genius is one of my local restaurants – I can walk or cycle there quite easily (or drive there in 2 minutes!). This proximity makes me pretty lucky as when it comes to food they are definitely in a league of their own. They “zig when everyone else zags”, which is often how…

Lunch at the Penny Black Victorian Tea Room at The Tannery
I had heard there was a tearoom opening at The Tannery but it was a surprise today when I got there to see it was operating. As a big fan of high teas, it was a no-brainer for my partner and me to have lunch there. Afterall, we’d walked an hour to get there (down…

Located in the commercial district of Hillsborough on Mary Muller Drive, this cafe is definitely well worth discovering. Delicious food and great coffee.

According to what I could find online, the building was one of the earlier houses in Halswell and was built somewhere between 1860 and…

Caribe Latin Kitchen, Little High Eatery on High Street
Wow, what a wonderful sensory overload the new food court at Little High Eatery is! It’s located at 181 High Street at the back of what was once the site of the McKenzie and Willis Building (and now just its facade remains after being completely rebuilt). We wandered around checking out all the different food options today…

Looking like something out of the future – the ANZ Atrium is now open with the Arborista Cafe in residence for coffee and a bite to eat.

Mona Vale Homestead
Mona Vale homestead re-opened recently after a restoration – and it’s looking fantastic. I took the opportunity to meet some friends there for lunch and then a short walk around the rose garden.

Sign of the Kiwi Cafe
The Sign of the Kiwi Cafe recently re-opened after being restored due to earthquake damage. I headed up there today to grab a bite to eat and check out things out. It’s proving to be very popular, and if you do visit just be aware that it’s cash only at the moment until they sort out…

Curry en Route on Soleares Avenue
On the recommendation of our local hairdresser we dined tonight at Curry en Route which is located on Soleares Avenue in Mt Pleasant (they also have restaurants in Amberley and Parklands). The food was absolutely delicious – some of the best Indian food I’ve had for sure. Plus very friendly service. You can learn more…
