Smokey T's
Barbecue restaurant
๐๐ Canโt recommend the place enough. Can see why it is so busy and jammed packed despite being a very large venue. Venue itself is quite good, especially the upstairs section. Unbelievable food, everything we had was delicious. I also think fairly priced. We had the platter for two and pork belly burge...

Samairaz Indian Restaurant
Indian restaurant
๐ Absolutely stunning food! The only reason this is not a 5 star rating from me was that our group of 7 waited an hour before we were asked to order food and were very hungry by the time the food came. We were also only offered one round of drinks.
My drink order was incorrect but very quickly rectifi...

Castle Hill Conservation Area
Tourist attraction
๐๐ If you have a car , this is a must-visit in New Zealand.
The views are super amazing on sunny days, the rocks are quite giant which make me look much smaller.
There are some toilets and parking lots here, just took about 20 minutes to walk, the trail is not difficult at all.

Hikari Sushi Train
Japanese restaurant
๐ I will never go back. $15.90 for 6 of the thinnest, worst pieces of sushi. The rice was hard like the sushi had been refrigerated. Everything about this placed screamed we donโt care about you, we just want to take as much out of your pocket as we can. Itโs not fuel thatโs creating the cost of livin...

Grater Goods
Restaurant
๐๐ Grater Goods is an inconspicuous gem of a restaurant in the Christchurch dinning scene. The food is superb, with a French fine dinning influences and flavours that won't leave you indifferent. They have great wines to match, but if in doubt they'll offer you a tasting before you order, plus Helena (...

5th Street
Restaurant
๐๐ Beautiful atmosphere and delicious, high-quality food! The share plates are fun because you get to try lots of different plates. The plates are small and we needed to order more than we expected for everyone to have enough. I loved all the dishes I tried. The pasta sauce on the vegetarian dish was n...
