The Lemon Tree Cafe on St Asaph Street
Every time I walk past this cafe on St Asaph Street I think to myself I must go in there sometime. Well today I had the perfect excuse as I was working just down the road a bit and needed somewhere to have lunch. The outside of the cafe really draws you in with the…

Pink Sugar is located in Oxford (a rural town located about 40 minutes north of Christchurch). It is a vintage high tea cafe and eatery serving high teas, Devonshire teas, as well as cabinet food. They don’t officially open until Monday the 20th of October, but I got along to the official ‘ribbon cutting’ opening.…

Dinner at the Valley Inn, Heathcote
This is the Valley Inn in Heathcote. I last featured it on the blog a couple of years ago, so thought it was time to put another blog post up, as I had dinner there tonight and the seafood platter was perfect. I highly recommend it! I love how there is a large helping of…

Browsers Cafe in Riccarton
Another gorgeous day today in Christchurch – the perfect sort of sunny and balmy Autumn day to sit outside somewhere and have lunch. I’d not been to Browsers Cafe in Riccarton in a long time, and thought it would be the perfect spot for some outdoor dining. And it certainly was. It’s a very uplifting…

Pretty Pink Tree outside of the Topkapi Turkish Restaurant
A pretty fake tree that makes it look like its Spring and a blossom tree from the distance. A nice contrast to what can be seen further up Manchester Street (devastation and vacant lots). I’ve never been to the restaurant to eat, but might have to put it on my to-do list. http://www.topkapi.co.nz

The Raspberry Cafe at Tai Tapu
I had coffee and cake today at The Raspberry Cafe in Tai Tapu. It’s a lovely spot to meet up with a few friends. I was there to catch up with my photo club as we were going to photograph the countryside around Tai Tapu after our coffee and cake of course (there’s a sneaking…
