Christchurch Restaurants

  1. Caffe Roma

    This European-style café has a refined persona - the kind of place you'd take your parents for brunch. The generously proportioned breakfasts include homemade muesli, lamb kidneys or corn fritters with bacon, avocado and eggs. It's not too grown-up, however - tea and coffee come with a chocolate fish.

  2. Daily Grind

    The perfect refuelling stop while out sightseeing, and in a number of city locations. Daily Grind provides express delivery of coffee, juices and smoothies, plus fat bagels and rolls, salads and muffins.

  3. Java Coffee House

    Funky, paint-splattered place with groovin' music, hungover staff and leaflets for upcoming dance events. It's a good place for a late-morning serve of eggs any way you like them, and you can get your latte or chai tea in a cup or bowl.

  4. Savoy Brown

    One of many fine, laid-back cafés on High St, in among the cool shops and galleries - well worth a wander. Excellent coffee, bumper brekkies and homemade cakes are a feature; peak hour is weekend brunchtime.

  5. Vivace Espresso

    Long narrow space doling out seriously good coffee to loyal locals. Also serves hearty all-day breakfasts (how about crumpets with vanilla hazelnut honey?) and interesting lunch options.
