Very helpful and friendly staff, great for a pre dinner drink and sit down to some great food, made this a cool dinner spot for our workplace. We would all go back again as it was a thoroughly enjoyable evening.
After a day of strolling in Christchurch, it was time for dinner. A local foreigner hosted us for dinner and we decided to go to this restaurant. I changed into formal clothes and came here. The restaurant is not very big. There are 4 sets of meals, steak, lamb chops, cod and seafood rice. I ordered one of each. The lamb chops were cooked 3 times, which tasted heavenly. It melted in your mouth like ice cream, without any smell of mutton. The steak and cod were also delicious, mainly because the meat was so good. Finally, we ordered 2 bottles of white wine, 1000 New Zealand dollars a bottle. We drank one glass after another, and the foreigner felt a little painful [grin]

I ordered a farm breakfast, bacon, two fried eggs, tomatoes, hash browns, etc. It was cooked to perfection. The staff was friendly, our server Maddie was great, highly recommend Drexels if you are in town.

I came here in the evening. The atmosphere was very good. With the music, I was in a relaxed mood. We talked for a long time and had a great time. The cocktails were special and delicious. You can choose your own main course for breakfast, with a simple salad bar! There are fresh juice and black coffee, and the salad is fresh and delicious! I highly recommend it! If you have enough budget, you can buy breakfast and enjoy the Kaminarimon while eating breakfast!

The food, service and atmosphere were all excellent. I had the venison which was delicious and melted in the mouth. If you want a good dining experience I would highly recommend going here, there is a lot of variety and it has character.
I came here because I saw the good reviews. It is indeed as good as everyone praised. I hope the store can keep up the good performance.

We went early in the morning when the place was quiet. Great atmosphere, great staff and a good selection of food at the counter. The highlight for me was the coffee, a nice, strong, rich black coffee. Nice and novel.
📍Detailed address:
185 High St, Christchurch
🕙Business hours:
7:00-21:00
🖼Cafe environment:
The industrial style decoration style is also considered a trendy shop in Christchurch.
The transparent pipes used to transport food are no longer used now, and there are indeed bugs.
The automatic filtering and water extraction device converted from a sewing machine was played last time.
The book shelf is actually the door of the bathroom, which is relatively hidden.
☕️Evaluation:
The American style is very strong, with deep roasted beans, chocolate and nut flavors. It is good. It is considered a good coffee in Christchurch.
🏨Surrounding environment:
Many surrounding buildings were destroyed in the 2011-2012 earthquake. This old post office was lucky to survive. You can see this slightly lonely building from a distance.

The main dishes are average, but the desserts are good. It is right next to Hagley Park, so the scenery is beautiful. The service attitude is proportional to the price.
The dining environment is very good, next to Hagley park. A good place for dessert after dinner. The price is not low, but it is worth it.

Great place
Wonderful place, the restaurant is cozy and very inviting. There are beautiful flowers outside and the interior is very nicely decorated. The cold red pepper soup was great. The roast duck liver was a real luxury and the roast suckling pig was delicious. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this restaurant.
The restaurants around Christchurch East are just average. Maybe it's because of the income issue.
