A Heavenly Treat

I used HappyCow.com to find vegetarian-friendly places to eat while traveling in New Zealand. I am happy to report that Krishna's is a yummy find.
We ate there for dinner and were pleased with our meal. We decided to order the three course special for $10 NZD/each. Our first course had three different vegetable "salads" (not cold) and a lentil soup. Our main course (not sure what most of it was) was a variety of different foods and our final course was dessert. We weren't sure what it was (some kind of warm grain with a creamy sauce) yet we both loved. It melted in my mouth.

Since we were going to be driving the next day, I decided to purchase something from the deli case for my lunch. I purchased some kind of pumpkin tart/pie (not a dessert) and it came with some of the vegetable salads that were in our first course. Super yummy and healthy.

If you want healthy vegetarian-friendly food at a great price, then I'd suggest eating at Krishna's the next you are in Christchurch.

Pros: healthy cuisine, excellent food, good value

Cons: early evening hours

Great flavours

Nice modern atmosphere. The lunch special is now $7. Good value for the serving of rice, curry, and bhaji type things you get, and it all tastes really good. The service is also very friendly.

Pros: cheap, tasty, atmosphere and service

Govinda's on Columba St.

Govinda's is a very popular Hare Krishna Vegetarian restaurant on Columbo St. in downtown. Govinda's, I have to say, caters more for vegetarian than vegans because the lunch special is NOT vegan but only vegetarian. Vegetarians can get a large, tasty meal at a cheap price, while vegans are left ordering from what's already prepared. My complaint is that the vegan things are pre-made and dropped up by a buisness. I did not think my food was very fresh because I had to order the vegan burger from the cabinet and it had not been made at the reatuarnt. My meal, since I am vegan, was also nowhere near as filling or as cheap as the vegetarian buffet offered.

Filling and cheap

Govindas is great for a quick cheap lunch, when you're hungry. You can't really beat that for price and quantity, for vege food in Christchurch.

Pros: good value, central city, only a $1 for a refil

Cons: no protein substitute, doesn't vary much from day to day.

6 NZ$ :)

Price for lunch is now 6 NZ$ (1 NZ$ for refill) and can be ordered vegan as well. Perfect for a quick lunch if you hit the tight opening hours!! Yummy vegan muffins!! (tried strawberry-cream and apple-walnut-date so far)

Pros: Good value, Friendly staff, Muffins :)

Cons: Small choice, opening hours
