• Nice Mushies

While good vegetarian food may be a challenge to find in Christchurch, Shroom Room Cafe in Lyttelton, just a little out of Christchurch is a real vegetarian treat. Admittedly we have only visited once, but the experience was pleasant enough for me to comment. The menu has numerous vegan options, plus gluten free options and they make good use of mushrooms (as you would guess). We ordered the Shroom Room Shrooms with hash browns to share and a couple of coffees. The shrooms came with a lovely pesto and yummy chutney and the hash browns were quite a bit larger than we had expected, and of course the serving of mushrooms was ample and delicious. The meal we ordered was quite massive (so it is lucky that we chose to share this dish), the coffees were okay and the staff were refreshingly happy. The décor consisted of an eclectic mix of 60s and 70s inspired bits and pieces, making it a nice informal breakfast or lunch dining experience (outdoor seating available). If we had some more time in Christchurch we would go back again and try more yummy goodies on their menu!
