Under The Red Verandah

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.

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.

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.

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!

Just a wonderful relaxing place to enjoy a brunch or just coffee. Recommended to book and you may need to wait for your order as the kitchen is busy, but enjoy the atmosphere.

The food was incredibly delicious. The potato pancakes were amazing, and the grilled mushrooms were incredibly juicy! I savored this huge breakfast for an hour and a half. On a warm, sunny spring morning like this, this place was heaven.

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.

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.
