The
Evolution of Christchurch cuisine
Christchurch is in the midst of a wining and dining revival.
Malls are being revamped and new food courts increase
our range of eating options. Restaurants, cafes and bars
are opening at a great rate. Amongst the newcomers are
Bean Scene, Legends, Frottage, the new Winnebagoes, the
new Sophie's Hamburger heaven, Fusion, and the Seafood
Kitchen.
As the hospitality scene grows and evolves, it is worth
noting the results of a recent awards ceremony. On Sunday
September 21st, the Kapiti
Cheeses 2003 Canterbury Hospitality Awards took place
at The Hotel Grand Chancellor, Christchurch. The high
achievers honoured included:
- Meadow Mushrooms Outstanding Chef Award

recipe for Mushroom and Watercress is featured on
the site. The Crowne Plaza is home to such popular dining
spots as the Yamagen Japanese restaurant and Canterbury
Tales
