    I live in Florida so I don't often get to Christchurch, but when I do I always stop at The Blue…read moreDuck. Everything on the menu is fresh and delicious.

    We just arrived to Christchurch from Auckland and on the way to Akaroa we decided to stop at Blue…read moreDuck Cafe. It was totally on a whim, we were just hungry. There was only 1 couple there and 1 worker who was also the chef and owner. I asked him what he recommended and he suggested the classic caesar salad. My friend had the salmon eggs benedict and I also ordered the date scone and coffee. It ended up being the best meal we had in New Zealand! Everything was so fresh and made from scratch. Another couple came in after us and since he was the only one there, we had to wait for our food for awhile while he took their order. Good thing I ordered the scone since that just needed to me warmed and was presented to us fairly quickly. OMG, the best scone I've ever had. I can't even give it a proper description. It was kinda fluffy but rich. The clotted cream and raspberry jam paired perfectly with it. I usually don't like raspberry but sigh, it was sooo perfect with it. The caesar salad had dry cured bacon, a poached free range egg, focaccia croutons and shaved parmesan. I've never had caesar salad with bacon but it was perfect. Breaking open the soft poached egg and mixing it up with the focaccia croutons, it was pure bliss. My friend's salmon egg benedict with spinach was also sublime. He said it was the best he's ever had. As we were driving away, we saw the little garden he had next to the cafe. No wonder the salad greens tasted so fresh. Not a wilted green in sight.

    We stopped in to this cafe during a road trip for the day from Christchurch. It was during the…read moreChristmas holidays, so possibly the only cafe open. Our experience was good - we first opted to sit outside, in the lovely garden, but the weather was too breezy so we moved indoors. My companion chose Seafood Chowder and I had Poached Eggs with spinach, mushroom and tomato. Although the cafe was quite busy, our meals came in about 15 minutes and they were good. The chowder was thick and delicious with nice toast, the eggs were fine. Good coffee here too. Other meals coming out looked good - we saw generous servings and colourful dishes. Service is nice, but their admin takes a while - I had to wait while they tried to figure out how much to charge me - three times over. Otherwise it was fine. I would return here.

    Went to Cafe 51 yesterday - first visit from Christchurch. This review is based just on the…read moreparticular dish I had, and is not intended to reflect the cafe's overall performance. I had the lamb's fry and bacon. The overall taste and crispy potatoes were great, but the lamb's fry was definitely overcooked - grainy, greyish, leather-like, and somewhat metallic tasting. Please cook it less to preserve a softer, less chewy texture, and slightly pinkish colour. However ... my partner's soup was v good, and the table next to us were very pleased with their vegetarian choices, chowder, and shakes. Service was friendly and prompt. We would definitely go back to the cafe again, but would give the lamb's fry a miss, and try some of the other options
