Purple Weka Cafe & Bar — Restaurant in Christchurch

I came here on a date brunch with my husband this morning. It had been recommended by someone at work, so I thought I would try it.

Well, they certainly didn’t disappoint!!! The minute you walked in, it was warm and inviting. We got some menus then ordered.

I had eggs benny with bacon and extra hash browns. My husband had a beef burger with fries. He asked for the salad greens to be taken out and added extra fries! No problem said the man behind the counter.

The service was so friendly and Stu (the man who served me) was warm and friendly and it was like I was at home with my dad! It was so nice.

The flat white I had was hot and delicious - perfectly balanced.

Our brunch came out and it looked as amazing as it tasted. The ciabatta was toasted to perfection, the yolks were runny, the hollandaise was so tasty and the bacon was just how I liked it!! The hash browns were hot and crisp.

My husband’s burger was as he requested - and a load of extra fries 🍟. He reported that it was filled with onions and a good, hot, juicy meat pattie. He was very happy with the fries too. Crispy and crunchy and hot.

What a really lovely wee place to come to. Really enjoyed it and the banter with Stu. Nice, down to earth, warm and with a great atmosphere.

Thankyou for your delicious brunch and warm welcome this morning.

We will definitely come back and recommend...
