Neat places to wine and dine in Christchurch

THE LITTLE HIGH EATERY - One of Christchurch's newest spaces to eat out. Eight unique, local and family-run establishments have taken up residence in this modern, open-plan marketplace with indoor and outdoor seating. Find it on Saint Asaph St.

RIVERSIDE MARKET - A seven-day a week indoor farmers’ market fronting the banks of the Ōtakaro Avon River, this is your one-stop-shop for tummy-loving produce. In fact, the whole of Riverside is a mecca of retail and hospitality.

SALT DISTRICT - A clever acronym for Christchurch’s CBD (Saint Asaph, Lichfield and Tuam), SALT District is an exciting mash-up of laneways, shipping container pop-up shops and heritage buildings housing chic cafés, as well as tattoo parlours, thrift shops and art studios.

BOXED QUARTER - No visit to Christchurch is complete without a nosey around the BOXed Quarter. A distinctly urban hub of art, music, food and culture, this slick, artistic precinct is jam-packed with eateries, bars and cafés, all interspersed with music studios, gallery spaces and scores of creatives.

SMASH PALACE - Because who doesn't want their drink served to them from the window of a bus? Located on High St.
