C'est la Vie
C'est la Vie This popular and tiny eatery, about the size of a pétanque green, dishes up superior versions of Gallic goodies like canard (duck) and escargot (snails). When you're replete following your créme caramel, try and find room to scrawl your own glowing review on the walls.

Bully Hayes
Named after a well-travelled American buccaneer, the menu at this sunny spot kicks off with Akaroa salmon before touching down in New York for gourmet burgers, Italy for pasta, and a leisurely final stop in Spain for tapas. Monteith’s beers and a good local wine list make it a worthwhile place to linger.

Harbour 71
Award-winning service and a waterfront location combine to produce Akaroa's classiest dining. Kick off with a cocktail at the huge wooden bar, before retiring to a leather banquette for meals such as chermoula-rubbed Akaroa groper.
