We were impressed by how friendly the staff was. When we entered, we were promptly greeted by the waitress with a friendly smile. We ordered fish and chips, and chicken parmigiana. We didn’t have to wait for long. The fish was blue cod - super fresh, crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The chicken was soft and succulent. It came with the most delicious mushroom sauce. The mains also came with ample chips and salad. I’m impressed by the high quality of the food served.The waitress also came to check that our food was to our liking several times. She served us cold water with ice which we much appreciated as it was a hot day. She took the initiative to refill our jug when it was empty. We really enjoyed the yummy food and the pleasant ambience. Overall, a wonderful dining experience. .

I’ve been having my breakfast here for more than 3 years and almost every morning. Brought my mates and co- workers with me too. There were thing like some of the staff treating us like we were there to have free food and overcharging the food sometimes but we never complained. But today the most disgusting thing happened to me in a restaurant. I ordered the usual breakfast and figured out the bread was covered in mold after eating half of the meal as the other piece of bread was covered in eggs and I couldn’t see it. And then as I started eating the other piece of bread I saw the bread was covered in mold and wanted to throw up on the spot. I have a very sensitive stomach. I’ve been feeling sick since the time I saw what I was eating. How come they haven’t seen the bread when they were serving eggs? How come you guys been this careless. Now I don’t even know what we’ve been eating for the past 3 years. I’ve been sick the whole day today. Thank you once again. I’ll never see you guys ever again. Not a chance. This is utterly disgusting.

We left our ❤ in New Zealand. It was our last day of holiday in New Zealand/Christchurch, before we headed back home next morning. We were staying at the Novotel and as we were strolling around trying to find a place to grab dinner, we chanced upon Rockpool Bar. We had their Homemade Flat Bread-it was aaaawesome👍, Rockpool Ribs-drooool, they got polished off in no time & Apple Crumble-soooo divine....we realised we had started devouring the ribs & dessert and had forgotten to take pictures of it... Glad we went there....friendly staff....great service...amazing food....fabulous recommendation of their local Cantebury wine & great music....perfect, for winding up our holiday😊

After over 5 years in Christchurch, and having tried many breakfast places, this is one of the best breakfasts in town. Maybe even the best breakfast! We both had the big breakfast and wanted to leave out the carbs, which was no issue at all and they added some spinach instead. For the price (24 NZD), it was the best and biggest brekkie we ever had. The quality of the ingredients was excellent and the way they cooked the bacon and scrambled the eggs was just awesome. The service is fast and always with a smile. The coffee matches the quality of the breakfast to make it all complete.
