Yak & Fern
About
Yak & Fern serves South Island from 78 Brighton Mall in New Brighton, Christchurch 8061, and holds a 4.9 out of 5 score from 236 reviews. That tally makes it one of the most consistently reviewed restaurants in the Christchurch area.
Reaching the venue is straightforward for anyone based in Christchurch, and it also works as a stop for travellers moving between Nelson, Blenheim, Kaikoura, Wanaka, Queenstown, Dunedin and Te Anau. The Brighton Mall setting puts it in the coastal suburb of New Brighton, east of the city centre.
The restaurant opens Wednesday and Thursday from 10:00 to 15:00 and 16:30 to 20:00, Friday and Saturday from 10:00 to 15:00 and 16:30 to 21:00, and Sunday from 11:30 to 18:00, with Monday and Tuesday closed. Its website at https://yaknfern.com/ carries the menu and booking details.
Seasons on the South Island run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August, and the surrounding ocean keeps both summer heat and winter frost moderate. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names appear throughout the country. Small earthquakes are common, as New Zealand sits on the boundary of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates.
