The Grand Café - Christchurch

Last Sunday I went to the casino for my dads birthday and I have only been to the breakfast buffet twice now and I love it! I really enjoyed the breakfast buffet as it is affordable and worth the money. The buffet is about $25 I think, but it is cheaper at $20 if you have a casino membership card which costs nothing. If you want to apply for a membership card just bring a photo ID along with you. My favourite and most enjoyable part is the hot drinks buffet machine as you have hot chocolate and other types of coffee which comes together with the entire buffet. The breakfast buffet also caters to vegetarians and those who can't eat gluten products. The best thing about the breakfast buffet is that there are more products there than inside my kitchen!

Best value breakfast in Christchurch BAR NONE! Service is as you'd expect. Have been for evening meals a few times. Not so impressed with the food. If after a quick and reasonable feed then try the Monza bar. Overall value for money, the fare is ok, the environment is fine and staff are very good at their jobs.

We went to the Grand Café for New Years Day lunch. The restaurant was fully booked but we had a booking so were seated fairly quickly and menu's and water provided. Drink orders were taken with the meal order. Both husbands had the set menu on offer of breads, roast and dessert. Commented that the roast was unusual in that there was salad on the plate swimming in the gravy???? The wives ordered from the main menu and all I can say is that my meal was delicious. I had the seafood cocktail (prawns, crab, crayfish etc), the lamb cutlets and a platter of desserts. The entire meal was absolutely delicious. Only problem was that there were no further offers of drinks or of coffee after the meal and as the restaurant was half empty by that time there were plenty of staff available???.

Dined last night at the Grand Cafe and must say I was very impressed. The refurbishment is amazing, place looks really cool.Great to see they have gone a la carte, great selection of options, my salmon was perfect.<br/ <br/ Very friendly service from our waitress and great recommendation on the wine matching.<br/ <br/ We'll be back for sure.

Had the buffet breakfast and it was delicious. I highly recommend it. Make sure you get yourself some of the sweet waffles and perfectly cooked hash browns. We went for a Birthday Breakfast and it was the perfect location for an enjoyable and filling way to start the day.
