If you're in Christchurch on a day the market is open, I highly recommend stopping by. Situated in a beautiful park, the market is a great place to walk around. The day we were there, there were lots of vendors selling fresh produce, baked goods, and a host of international foods. We opted for dumplings from one stand, okanimayaki pancakes, and a koran garlic buttter knot.
The only drawbacks are that the vendors are placed along a narrow and winding driveway that gets very congested when the market is busy. There's also only one cafe (coffee stand) and the line is very long.
