Strawberry Fare Christchurch

This came highly recommended with good reason. Wonderful service, love all the big Windows and yummy food. We came for a late breakfast during the week so didn't have to wait. The duck hash was delicious, unusual and perfect. Poached eggs, added bacon and avocado which made for a huge plate of fine food.

This restaurant is an excellent choice for brunch! The food is delicious and beautifully presented.

I am disappointed to leave a low star review for Strawberry Fare. My friend and I visited for dinner, but it seems that most people come here for desserts and brunch. We ordered the Kikorangi Blue Cheese Plate, Salmon Ceviche, Braised Lamb Pappardelle, and Tropical Coconut Freeze. Unfortunately, all the dishes lacked flavor, especially the Pappardelle which had a watered-down sauce and bland pasta. The lamb was tough despite being braised, and the ceviche did not resemble traditional ceviche and was unappetizing. The only highlight was the Tropical Coconut Freeze. Overall, our experience at Strawberry Fare was disappointing, with slow service even though the restaurant was not busy. I do not understand the high ratings for this establishment.

We began our journey through the South Island in Christchurch and decided to stop at this restaurant for a morning fuel up before heading out, and it was a fantastic choice. The decor was impeccable, the service was gracious, and the food was delicious. The upstairs area had a view of the street lined with weeping willows, while downstairs there was the option to sit on the sunny balcony. They offered a variety of breakfast options, including eggs, waffles, and French bread. We highly recommend this place, as it was one of the best spots we tried during our time in New Zealand.

This place is well known for its delicious desserts and for good reason. Bring your appetite, the dishes we had were generous in size. Not much more to say than if you're craving for a sweet treat then this place will do the trick.
