Under The Red Verandah

We had a chance to go to Under the red Verandah for breakfast after a friend recommended and gotta tell you guys that this place hasn’t let us down at all. The food was amazing we ordered Bacon and egg on toast, Smoked Salmon with hollandaise sauce and the seafood chowder is my favourite (must order) got to admit it the food were top qualities, worth what you’ve paid for. Large selection on cabinet food as well and their coffee were awesome too. Plenty of parking on side and off street, Big open area outside for kids and animals friendly.

Very nice little cafe. Friendly staff, quality coffee and food. Highly recommended. Can be a little busy.

We visited twice while I was in Christchurch. Both visits had great customer service and coffee—the beans were full of flavour and consistently enjoyable. During our first visit, the food (pictured) was amazing. My cheese scone and scrambled eggs were particularly yummy. On our second visit, the big breakfasts we ordered weren’t quite as good, but still filled us up and hit the spot. Overall, a reliable café with fantastic coffee and friendly service.

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!

Nice place to sit back and watch the wild life. Plus they didn’t even try to take our food. Good spot for a suladae. Salmon eggs Benedict probably not salty enough. Didn’t drink enough water. Needs more salt. Nice art. I’m gonna hang it all in my yurt.

Nice breakfast, Benedict egg w salmon was good, the bowl of mocha was maybe too big 😄, maybe don't go on weekend that is full.

Went on a Saturday morning for brunch, the place was so busy, definitely would recommend booking before hand, great selection of vegetarian options

Always has great food and such a lovely spot for a meal and a catch up with friends.
