As it is a converted house, there are several rooms for dining. I was here as part of a group who chose this place to hold their wake, to share thoughts and memories with close friends and family over lunch. We had two large share tables in a nice, out of the way corner. We enjoyed very relaxed but respectful service, beautiful food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. For starting nibbles we had beautiful fresh mini bread loaves and delicious thick polenta chips. My meal was off the menu - scrambled eggs, mushrooms, spinach and tomato on rye toast. My companion enjoyed a lovely dish of Venison Fry and Bacon. They have a good selection of beers and wines too. It was all excellent and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it and come again. Thank you.

The coffee was so so good. I got a mocha and it was the best mocha I've had in Christchurch. The…read moreespresso was very smooth and the chocolate was very good. We ordered food too and it was okay. I got a chicken sandwich, The bread was homemade which was awesome, the chicken was pretty bland...it didn't seem like there was salt or pepper. The sauce on it saved it and it was good. The fries were also okay as they didn't have salt or pepper. My friend got the veggie omelette, she said it was a little too cooked but the omelette was really good regardless! Overall, highly recommend a coffee stop and then maybe walk to the shop next door for food as they have AMAZING forccacha sandwiches.

We actually went to the location on Colombo since Manchester St was having their ticketed Fresh Hop…read moreFestival. We did debate on attending that, but the offerings and accompanying special event glassware didn't look that appealing. Manchester St looked to be more a typical brewery, housed among some warehouses, while Colombo was more a bustling beer bar with an energetic atmosphere (as a live music venue) and adjoining outdoor beer garden. We ordered a flight offered with 5 tasters. Other than the Fresh Hop which was a Pilsner, the other beers were lackluster at best, especially after already traversing the South Island for many a fresh hop and IPA. Just very dull in flavor, not as bright, and almost old and creaky-like. I was more entertained by the stag party shenanigans outside which the staff were in good spirits about -- cheehoo! Chill brewery, nonetheless, and beers did seem a little cheaper... despite their foot print across the South Island, though, know that you will find significantly better beer at the smaller breweries!

After a long day being shown around Christchurch and the countryside, all I wanted was to quietly…read moretry some new beers. Thankfully Two Thumb was right around the corner from our hotel, so I braved the frigid air and walked there about half an hour before closing. The brewery was easy to find at the back of a small business plaza down a private driveway; they have free parking here and the entrance to the brewery. Inside it was warm and cozy. It felt like a cross between a barn, working brewery, stage, and living room. They had plenty of seating of various types for groups of all sizes. Offices were along the left, with the brewing equipment in the dark behind the bar. The bar had a selection of all their beers offered on draught, as well as glass case with bottles to-go. Be sure to check this out as some of the offerings are bottles only. Two Thumb has a unique distinction for breweries on my trip: they offered 4 of their UK-centric beers on hand-pulled beer engine. This serving style physically pulls the beer from the kegs into your glass instead of using gas. Carbonation is lower leading to a creamy mouthfeel and clean full head. This isn't for everyone, but it went well on a cold night. I had a flight of beer; the glasses were generous and prices were low. I explained why I was there and disappointed it was so late, but the bartender graciously offered to let me try all their beers and said I could stay as long as I wanted. These little things mean so much. I enjoyed their beer, and took one special bottle to-go. I recommend coming here if you love beer and are in the Christchurch area!

The only market that is centrally located in Christchurch. It's right across the street from the…read morebus interchange on Lichfield Street. Great for commuters, workers, and visitors. It's also surprisingly large. One entire aisle is devoted to alcohol. There's a small deli with sandwiches, cold foods, and hot foods. Not a ton of fresh meats, but that's been true of every market I've been to in New Zealand. Largest selection of produce I've seen so far, but more veggies than fruit. Got some nice-looking strawberries. Mostly self-checkout / pay by card, but help is available if something goes amiss or you want to pay cash. Prices were cheaper than the other two markets I've been to.

Plus I had a BLTA sandwich (5 stars) as a take-away as I embarked on my day trip to Arthur's Pass. Ate it next to the mountains... so good.

Best brunch spot in ChCh! And this city loves them some brunch! Went here three times and it was…read morejust as good every time. Busy busy place but it's big and spacious inside so they can handle all the people. You might have to eat on the sofa in the front by the front door but ayyy food is worth the inconvenience haha. They always keep their menu simple which is nice because it makes deciding what to eat easier. One page and they vary it with a few options. The famous English style breakfast, eggs benny, some more general breakfast choices and what I got, the french toast plate with streaky bacon. In NZ they like to cook their bacon a little underdone which I didn't think I would like but I love it! They put in between the toast add some fruit, syrup and cream. It was amazing! I'm that guy that usually orders the best thing out of my friends and they all wish they got what I got.. this was one of those times haha. Definitely recommend.. It's a bit pricey here, between $17 - $23 depending on your choice. My French Toast was $20. They're famous for coffee here but I'm not really into coffee much(don't hate me) but I did get hooked on Chai lattes. Spicy or sweet, it's up to you. I wasn't feeling so spicy that morning, hangover vibes... so I got sweet. You order at a counter and then seat yourself. Instead of giving numbers to ID your table they give you a random country flag. Funny enough, the cashier said I look either Canadian or from California. So she gave me the Canada flag. Thanks EH. Do I really give off such a strong California vibe? I got that a few times when traveling around hahah. Amazing food, nice interior vibes, Chai was dank. 5 stars!
