Named

The afternoon sun draws the lunchtime crowd to the sheltered courtyard for burgers and
fresh seafood, and keeps them lingering over Monteith's beers and local wines through the
afternoon.

33 Rue Lavaud; mains $28-40; 5pm-late Tue-Sat)
Très petite,
très chic
and very tasty. Look forward to classic bistro style given a proud Kiwi spin with
local seafood, South Island wines and Canterbury craft beers. The menu changes season-
ally, but usually includes favourites such as crusted lamb or Akaroa salmon terrine.

Akaroa's most upmarket restaurant occupies its most impressive waterside
shopfront. Grab a seat at one of the little marble-topped tables and tuck into the likes of
snails, mussels, terrine, French onion soup and cassoulet. At lunch the Gallic guard drops
a little, with burgers and Spanish tortillas creeping onto the menu.

83 Rue Jolie; 10am-9.30pm)
A perfect waterfront location combines with rus-
tic outdoor seating to produce Akaroa's best place for a sundowner drink. Tuck into pizza
or fish and chips.
