This is an iconic BREAKFAST restaurant that was started in the 1970's and was one of the places that reminded Locals of our Pre Earthquake home. A little American with pancakes, maple syrup but you can still get a healthy fruit salad and a strong coffee if you desire! Open 6.30am - 2pm during week days and 7am - 2pm on weekends. I would call first if you can!

Arts & Culture
An array of art, museum pieces and early collections held in Riccarton House and the nearby Mud Cottage. This is an historic early home of Christchurch which was originally owned by the Deans family and gives some of us a connection to our English Histroy. The Deans family also gifted to Christchurch the land on which lies a piece of original Native Bush which has been preserved and is now cared for with attention and pride. The is a must visit for Tourists and a favourite amoung locals. Open most days for tours of the house. For a peaceful visit, go during the week or Sunday, but if you like a little Vibe with music, food and coffee choose a Saturday morning for Market Day!
