5 spots for brunch & bubbly
Five of our favourite spots to kickstart Cup Week in Christchurch, from cocktails as gorgeous looking as they are tasting to spring brunch menus that fuel you for the festivities.
Strawberry Fare
While it’s one of Christchurch’s most iconic dessert destinations, don’t put it past Strawberry Fare to provide a delicious brunch, lunch and bubbles. Find all the classics on the menu at both Merivale and Northwood locations, with elevated delights like cinnamon roll French toast.
Miro
Recommended by locals, Miro is a hotspot for celebrations. Located on Oxford Terrace overlooking the Avon River, the restaurant offers a weekend brunch bundle with beef brisket hash and French toast, plus a range of free-flowing drinks.
Curator’s House
From amongst a whimsical wisteria-covered veranda, the introduction of a new Saturday to Sunday brunch menu and breakfast cocktail list at The Curator’s House is a can’t-miss come Cup Week. Whether it’s how you start the final raceday on Saturday, or how you recoup from the week that was on Sunday, book your spot for this Spanish-infused restaurant nestled right in the blooming Botanic Gardens.
Edizi
Purpose-built for all-day dining, Edizi takes you as you are and serves you what you need. From your first coffee to your last glass, enjoy spritzes and cocktails, breakfast, lunch and dinner menus, plus a range of canapes to dine on between events.
Delilah
This chic spot on The Terrace right in front of the Bridge of Remembrance is famous for its bold dishes, handcrafted cocktails, and glamorous long lunches. Lock your visit in for in-between race days to make the most of the beautiful location and gorgeous menu.
