Daytime delicacies: Easteat
Is lunch the new dinner?
This time of year can see us leaving for work before the sun rises and returning home after it has set. It stands to reason that the middle of the day needs to be the highlight. Lunch should be a delicious interlude that jolts us out of our seasonal slump and transports us to novel places with gorgeous taste sensations and stunning colour combinations.
Last year’s arrival of Easteat on Riccarton Rd took our evenings to Northern China, and now the team are preparing to send you there with your appetite at lunch time too. “We are thrilled to be introducing our new lunch buffet,” says owner Yingtao Yu. “We will offer eight hot dishes, eight cold dishes, soup, fried rice, noodles and fruit. There will be a great variety and plenty of options.”
Chefs trained in Northern China and Si Chuan combine spices imported specially from China with the best of local produce. The culinary result keeps diners coming back for more. “We will be open six days for lunch, closed Mondays, at $24 and $12 for children under five,” says Yingtao. Get your fix between 11am and 3pm, or enjoy Easteat for dinner too from 5pm.
