It was with a little trepidation I journeyed out to near the Christchurch airport for a taste of what the unknown had to offer. My previous experience of raeward fresh grocery super market was just that, so I was interested to see how the add on restaurant to the market stood up. First impression was one of terror, seeing the McDonald’s style plastic playground should had told me to run for the hills. If you provide a playground attached to a restaurant it normally follows there will be kids inside and I wasn’t wrong. The feeling of being one second away from a major child event while sitting in the place removed any truly relaxing time with my parter and teenage daughter. We dodged that bullet, but only just. My review of my meal and drinks will be short and simple. The chicken satay burger filled the gap but was really something that could have been slapped together at my local chippy. The twenty plus dollars was top dollar for an average burger and fries. Satay usual means peanut spicy sauce but mine wasn’t really peanut but more of a mild curry flavor. Not unpleasant just unexpected. Fries were just that, very average. Janeens battered blue cod was the winner for us and ticked the right flavor and portion size boxes but the flat pile of packet salad left us all wondering why a place with access to great produce couldn’t have done better. Needless to say it wasn’t great and was left alone on the plate. The coffee I had was full pice and was rubbish, burnt and bitter, how hard is it to make a decent flat white? I suppose when you have grocery staff trying to double as restaurant staff something is going suffer. My feeling about the place is a bit of refinement and a effective separation of grown up diners from kids would be a start. I feel the proximity to the airport has influenced the pricing in a negative way. Better staff training and dedicated staff will help the overall flow. With so many really good eating places it is hard to recommend Raeburn cafe, parents with little ones would probably enjoy the convenience of shopping, dining and somewhere for the kids to play.
I went here for an early morning breakfast and ordered poached eggs with avocado. There was a tasty spin on a basic breakfast choice. Staff were extremely friendly and more than happy to help.
Firstly this is Cafe Raeward. It has great coffee, both innovative and traditional food and friendly professional staff. Great that you get free wifi and then get your produce/groceries after!
Excellent Service, fast friendly and attentive without overcrowding. The food is tasty and as I am gluten free they have many options. I would highly recommended.
After a bad experience at another cafe I will not mention . I came her a couple of days later and what a refreshing change. We were greeted with a smile and the manager even came to see if we were being served. The food was amazing the drinks were great and will definately come here again
Went out for a Sunday brunch.Firstly, they forgot one of our meals. They apologised for this and offered a complimentary beverage. I asked for a soy hazelnut latte.The drink that came was a normal latte, not made with soy. I did not realise this until it had been half consumed – not useful for somebody who is lactose intolerant.My friend then nearly cut her lip on a water glass that was chipped. Finally the second meal arrived – without the side of bacon as requested. We decided not mention it, but when paying it became clear that the extra bacon had been put on the first meal.When paying for our meal, the cashier was less than friendly and incompetent – as couldn’t put the transaction through. It was not even overly busy – four errors – would not recommend.
Good food and good service on a busy morning. Always pleased to see some flexiibilty in the menu too.
