Under The Red Verandah

This is honestly one of the best cafés in Christchurch. Everything we ordered was amazing—fresh, tasty, and beautifully presented. The coffee was also really, really good! What impressed me most is that even with rising food prices these days, they still manage to keep both the quality and portion sizes at a high level. As someone who goes to cafés a lot, I’ve noticed many places have dropped in quality, but not this one. Their prices are similar to other cafés, but the food here is way more generous and well-made. And I have to say—the staff were all incredibly warm and friendly. Every single one of them made us feel so welcome. Huge thanks to the chef and the whole team for such a lovely experience. I’ll definitely be back, and I’ll be telling my friends to check it out too!

Under the red Verandah Restaurant is an amazing breakfast spot. The location is beautiful, surrounded by lush trees and a charming setup that creates a relaxing atmosphere. Parking is ample and convenient. They offer excellent gluten-free options— the GF bread breakfast is the best I've had. It was well-cooked, delicious, and vegetarian-friendly. If you're in Christchurch and need a great place for breakfast, I definitely recommend this restaurant. You won't be disappointed!

Our first time visit. We sat in the garden, they have blankets available. Great café. Really cute decorations and sense of humor photos of the staff. Really funny. Their cabinet food looks really good. Coffee were so good, food was really nice. Love their service for little one. Definitely will. Visit again next time we come to christchurch.

Don’t know where to start from .. this place was extremely unbelievable. The food is so good we couldn’t stop our self to Order again. I can confidently say one of the best breakfast I ever have in New Zealand. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This place is absolutely sensational. Breakfast this morning on our first day in NZ from Australia. We've been here a few times and never ever disappoints. Thanks heaps to Amy especially and the rest of the team for once again a great experience. We'll be back for sure. Phil and Karen 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Beautiful cafe! I had the seafood chowder, and it was perfect for a cloudy, windy day. The chowder was warm enough to sit outside, and it was the best I’ve ever had! Lovely staff, tasty meal.. I’ll def be a regular! Highly recommend👍👍

Very nice sunny backyard for winter. Good mushroom egg bene and breakfast scrambles — good coffee too. The portions used to be too much for us and now seemed smaller and perfect sizes for us.

Busy inner surburban cafe/restaurant. Service staff were friendly but loud - yelling across the room to ask a colleague about the menu or a waitress chatting with the table next to us so loud we couldnt hear ourselves talk as her voice like a hammer pounding the side of my head. The food was yummy but I certainly wouldnt go back for the mediocre coffee.
