About
Look for Thousand Islands Eatery in South Island for restaurant, with the venue at Shop 6, Peerswick Mall, 8042/388 Riccarton Road, Upper Riccarton, Christchurch 8042, New Zealand. The setting places it in the Upper Riccarton suburb of Christchurch, on the eastern side of the South Island.
Diners have given the eatery 4.7 out of 5 across 31 reviews, a figure that reflects consistent approval rather than a single rush of visits. The 31-review tally is modest but the average has held up across that base. Queenstown, Dunedin, Nelson, Blenheim and Wanaka all lie within reach, so the restaurant works as a stop on a wider tour of the island.
Opening hours run from 11:00 to 19:00 on Monday, 11:00 to 20:00 Tuesday through Friday, 10:00 to 20:00 on Saturday and 10:00 to 17:00 on Sunday, giving the widest window at the weekend. Reserving a table in advance is sensible given the limited seating the 31-review total implies, particularly at peak meal times.
Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August, so visitors should plan around the cooler months accordingly. Traffic drives on the left across New Zealand, and hire cars are the usual way to travel on the larger islands, which makes reaching the Riccarton Road address straightforward.
