Absolutely loved the Addington. Great atmosphere, great menu. Highly recommend…read more We had brunch here: - salmon benedict (4.5 stars) - avo (4.5 stars, 5 stars for the halloumi, which was life-changing) - mushroom (5 stars), but then again I love mushrooms - scone (4 stars) - sweet and buttery, but I'm not much of a sweets person. 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!

Bagels the only menu options. Kumara rosti unfortunately as dry as it looked even after heating and was bland. Quiche was better apparently. Also had a ginger slice which was nice but do small it should have been called a 'bite'. Not great

Enjoy lounge seating by a fire place, tall top tables for a casual snack, table seating for a coffee or lunch date or patio seating on a nice day with your pup. The coffee at Zeroes is high quality. Their cappuccinos are smooth and delicious and presentation is nice as well. Hungry? Try their main greek salad. With chunks of feta, fresh tomatoes, cumbers and onions (could have a few more kalamata olives) and a delicious dressing, this is one of the best greek salads I've ever had! Looking for a little more substance? They have various bakery items, muffins and sandwiches, as well as cookies and lollies. Definitely my favorite cafe in Cashmere.

This is one hopping place on the weekend evening!…read more We arrived without a reservation and they still found us a table straight away. Had there not been room they would have us sit at the bar. Great service throughout the entire experience from start to finish. The restaurant itself is small and cozy. The menu is the perfect size with plenty of choices yet not overwhelming. We all chose a different dish and each one was spot on delicious! We enjoyed our experience and would love to return for breakfast one day.

Only negative is that service was linear so those arriving first typically got their meals, deserts based on the queue. There were opportunities to serve desert to those who had ordered and finished main meals well ahead of other tables who started first but were slower to eat.
