Mainstreet Café

Fodor's Review:

If you lived in Christchurch and liked hearty vegetarian cooking, you'd probably end up at this bohemian storefront haunt once a week. (The menu also caters to vegans and has gluten-free options.) The rich pumpkin-and-kumara balls with peanut sauce or a choice of salads with a piece of homemade bread will help you get out of a vacation-food rut. The espresso's great, the desserts are delicious, and there's a good selection of international beers.
