The Dish
About
The Dish serves South Island from 376 Montreal Street, City Central, Christchurch 8013, New Zealand, putting it in the heart of the city rather than on its outskirts. Visitors have given The Dish a 4.6 out of 5 average across 479 reviews.
The Montreal Street position places it within Christchurch, a grid that connects easily to the wider road network serving the island. Queenstown, Dunedin and Nelson sit within the same touring circuit, so the café works as a stop for travellers moving between the island's main centres. Christchurch itself anchors the middle of the South Island's east coast, with Blenheim and Kaikoura further north along the coastal route.
Its website, http://www.thedish.co.nz/, provides further reference for the business. New Zealand has a temperate maritime climate, so summers are mild and winters rarely bring snow at low altitude, which keeps the city walkable through most of the year.
Ferries reach Waiheke, the Hauraki Gulf islands and Stewart Island, and a Cook Strait service links the two main islands, so arrivals from the north often land close to the city centre. Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast, giving a day in Christchurch a coastal dimension within easy reach.
