Curious Palate Cafe Bistro

Welcome to your new favourite brunch spot in Christchurch!

The Curious Palate believes in serving honest food within a modern environment. They offer a range of speciality coffee, breakfast dishes and lunch, using quality produce and artisan ingredients from local suppliers.

Choose from a breakfast menu of updated classics, like the Matcha buttermilk pancakes with banana brulee, or enjoy a vegan breakfast board with grilled tofu. Fancy lunch? Curious Palate serve up a mix of traditional favourites, like the Porterhouse Steak; and authentic international dishes, like Israeli Shakshuka, Indonesian-style Fried Rice and Thai-style Fried Noodles. Check out the board for the changing pasta, soup and curry specials, or have a look in the cabinet food, which is quite unlike anywhere else in the city.

Beautifully decorated with wooden panels, chic seating and high ceilings, this is an ideal location for a light bite or wholesome lunch. The Curious Palate is located on Cambridge Terrace, central Christchurch.
