With the first version of Under The Red Verandah badly damaged by the earthquakes, the enterprising owners have shifted their wonderful enterprise to 29 Tancred St Linwood, Christchurch, where their patrons can still enjoy the superb cuisine and service. I frequently visit, either with local friends or out of town visitors. It's very popular, so reservations are a good idea... More

There is a good variety of food available here. It is an old house and there are tables out and about, it is sometimes a bit crowded and therefore a bit noisy as well.

Our group of four went to Red Verandah for lunch on the advice of a local, and we weren't disappointed. Parking was easy, either in the care's car park or on the street. The cafe is divided into several areas of character including outdoors, so none of them would be too crowded or noisy. We were quickly seated, with the... More

I was recommended to stay here and loved it so much that I made it my regular coffee spot for the 4 days I was in Christchurch.

This is a favourite of ours on a sunday morning. It's a busy place but the service is swift and friendly and the food freshly cooked to order and always tasty. The coffee is great and the cold cabinet is always full of tempting desserts and savouries. Hats off to whoever had the imagination and courage to recreate this popular... More

This restaurant has recovered from the loss of its original building in the earthquake and is back better than ever. The quality of the meals is very consistent and no matter what you order off the menu, it's bound to please. Recent visits included the caesar salad, the rice cake and fish. The staff take great interest in ensuring that... More

Had the amazing vegetarian breakfast which even tempted my met eating companions....the fit out is not chic flash but more homely and friendly...the waiter was attentive and approachable, helping us feel accommodated and in good supply of coffee without being pushy. Will be back soon for sure to sample more of an amazingly diverse menu. CHEERS!

I have this funny idea that restaurants should serve good food, have friendly and polite staff and provide a nice environment ... Thats their business, and what we are paying for, and providing these things doesn't make a restaurant 'excellent' ... The food, staff and place here is nice and quite a lovely casual, laid back atmosphere, but I didn't... More
