Great staff, food average

Nice place with a vibe and really friendly service, groceries looked fab. My tofish and chips was a bit of a disappointment, the chips were definitely not thick cut as the menu promised, they were really thin julienne fries. Tofu pretty average. I still wanna try more of their items though.

Pros: Nice staff, Sells their own deli products

Great 100% vegan spot

I've been here twice and was impressed with the ambience and service as well as the creative and tasty vegan menu on offer. They also sell a variety of vegan products at reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

Best Food in NZ

I'm happy I'm finishing my trip here, because if I'd eaten here at the start, I would have been depressed for the rest of my trip.
The service was great and the food was simply amazing!
I had the tofish and chips, which I thought wouldn't be able to surprise me. I was so WRONG!
Would absolutely come back there!

Pros: Taste, Ambiance, Service

Happy Vibe, Happy Food!

🍔🍟🌱🍽 Met with some clients at Grater Goods in Christchurch today! There were 6 of us. We had great service, cool atmosphere, and really yummy food! All my guests loved their food and they are carnivores! It’s a place I’ve wanted to go for a long time and it’s a bonus they are open until 9 pm! I won’t ever visit most places that close at 2,3, or 4! LOLOL
I highly recommend! They also sell quite a few specialty items in the deli!

Pros: Completely Vegan & Open nights , Great pricing & Portions, Great service & smiling staff

Cons: Chairs aren’t super comfortable around tables.

Top place for vegan food in Christchurch

I have been a loyal customer since before the cafe was up and running. The menu is great with weekly specials. They now have an amazing array of vegan grocery and deli items to buy. Great wine list and funky background music.

Pros: Totally vegan menu, Chilled and relaxed vibe, Amazing owners and staff

I wanted to love this place

Being the holiday period almost everywhere in Chch is shut, so I was glad I got to visit while it was open on 31st Dec.
I wasn’t expecting a big open warehouse, almost rundown type venue.
The service was slow but they were busy so apologetic that it took them 10 mins to even bring us menus (apparently they’d run out of menus wtf) and take our coffee order.
My oat latte came and it burnt my mouth, way too hot and think they may have burnt the coffee! Not ideal!
Lucky the food was delicious so made up for it a bit.
I had the Rueben sandwich which was very yummy and filling but I had fries as well just to be sure lol.
My omni parter had a breakfast burrito special with scrambled tofu, facon and hashbrown which he really enjoyed.
Loved all the deli products available- had to purchase some pastrami.
All factors considered, it would take a lot for me to return again I hate to say

Pros: Fully vegan , Food delicious , Deli stuff to purchase

Cons: Slow service , Way too hot coffee, Bit of an eclectic venue

Still dreaming about that Reuben sandwich!

My husband has never tried a Reuben sandwich, let alone a vegan one, so when I ordered it he was SO GLAD I did and he said it was the best sandwich he's ever tried. And we've eaten lots of sandwiches! The staff are super friendly and the whole environment is so cool, loved the industrial warehouse feel together with a homely vibe. We're only in Christchurch for 8 days and because of the new year holidays most things are closed so the only downside is that we can't come here more times! Can't wait to get another Reuben, and next time trying the chef's special breakfast burrito - YUM!

Pros: Best Reuben ever, Friendly staff, All plant-based

I would give this place a 6 if I could

More than just a restaurant! These guys make their ingredients from scratch - including vegan pastrami, salami, sausages and cheese. The menu showcases those ingredients - there’s a range of starters, mains, desserts and sides. We felt like we were spoilt for choice. The atmosphere is awesome - cosy and welcoming. The service was also great, they are clearly passionate about what they do. If you are visiting Christchurch you need to go here!

Pros: A good range of awesome, delicious food, Cosy and inviting, Run by passionate people

Good service and Deli

Restaurant food, was more like good but expensive fast food.
Had really good service here and tried the award winning sausages which were also bang on.
Just had higher hopes after reading reviews.

Pros: All of the made in house mock meats etc, The service

Cons: Expensive for what you get

Our favourite restaurant!

My husband and I have been here plenty of times now and they never disappoint!! Have tried a few things of the menu and it's all been amazing, but the show stealer is definitely the KFT burger! It's a must try if visiting here 👏🏼 the staff is also super accomodating and friendly and the place is cool with its little deli corner. Also sweet it's dog friendly!

Pros: Awesome food for good value, Friendly staff , Dog friendly

Live music!

Awesome live music... amazing atmosphere.... I had “KFT (fried tofu) plate” but food felt a little too oily and bit hard to eat... otherwise loved it!

You’re the best. I love you.

Got in, immediately greeted by the most charming man ever. I asked for a mint tea and he made it Moroccan style with fresh cut mint leaves. We had their loaded fries of the day which was poutine and I was blown away by the richness of flavour and perfect vegan rendition of such a classic dish. Always get the specials guys. The special pasta was a chorizo style mushroom stroganoff that was so good we came back the next day to get it again. Just. Perfect. I love you guys. I will fly to Chch JUST for this.

Pros: Awesome vibe, adjacent to Junk and Disorderly , Great music, French romantic , Staff made of gold. Super good coffee
