Red Eight

Reviewed By Barry M

We were stuck in Kaiapoi for 3 days while vehicle fixed. Would've been a lot harder if we hadn't found this cafe with its superb coffee and food. Its very popular with good reason. The cabinet food is not your usual staid stuff but quite quirky and very tasty. Mexican potato was my favorite. Also good is the avocado on rye/rosti. Scones too excellent, especially the blue cheese & caramelised onion.It's just a short detour from SH1 outside Christchurch and is in my book for a great stop next time I'm this way. Highly recommended.

Rivertown Cafe

Reviewed By ShirleydK39

I was visiting family in Kaiapoi, New Zealand, and to celebrate my grandson’s 21st birthday, our family of six had breakfast at Rivertown Cafe. Wow. What delicious dishes on the menu, and the meals were exceptional. I chose Eggs Benedict, and it has to be one of the tastiest I have ever had! Others in the group had the same, plus a few other equally as delicious choices. I wouldn’t hestitate to recommend this restaurant.

We were travelling down the SH1 and diverted into Kaiapoi in search of brunch and a rest from the wheel. On the recommendation of a lady in the I-site we found Paris for the weekend in the relocated, old railway station. A haven of peace with a few touches around to suggest France. The staff were friendly and inviting and the food was well prepared and presented. There was a good choice of brunch and light lunch items on the menu. We enjoyed a relaxing three quarters of an hour before returning to the bustle of the road. Definitely worth the short diversion into the town.

Urban Revival

Reviewed By coffeekiwi

It was a surprise to find such a good cafe in West Kaiapoi (quite close to the motorway if you are passing by). Easy parking right outside and a pleasant outlook to the park . Staff are efficient and handled our messy joint order well. Good cabinet food, and great baskets of scones and muffins to have with your coffee. Recommend for breakfast or lunch.
