Makan
About
Among South Island's local businesses, Makan stands at 73 Manchester Street, Christchurch Central City, Christchurch 8011, Nueva Zelanda, in the middle of the city centre. That central position makes it walkable from much of Christchurch and straightforward to reach from Nelson, Blenheim and Dunedin for those travelling through.
This is a café, and first-time visitors should expect a daytime coffee-and-food stop rather than an evening restaurant. It is known for its brunch-style menu and coffee, and a rating of 5 out of 5, drawn from 363 reviews, reflects how strongly customers respond to it.
Opening hours run Mo-Fr 08:00-15:00 and Sa-Su 09:00-14:00, so a visit fits into a morning or early afternoon. Two photos are available for anyone wanting a preview, and the Instagram account at https://www.instagram.com/makancafechristchurch carries further detail.
New Zealand's seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August, and the temperate maritime climate keeps summers mild and winters rarely snowy at low altitude. Fish and chips, meat pies and flat whites are everyday takeaway staples across the country. Ferries reach Waiheke, the Hauraki Gulf islands and Stewart Island, and a Cook Strait service links the two main islands.
