Red Poppy Thai Restaurant

Welcome to Red Poppy Thai, a must-try in Christchurch and a favourite for foodies, family get-togethers and anyone who loves quality Thai food.

This lovely local doesn't take itself too seriously, with playful and cheerful decoration that aims to put a smile on your face, and a feeling that follows you through all three dining spaces. In a fierce battle between "wow, these chairs are cool" vs "get out of my way, red cushioned beauty", everyone's a winner here.

The joy factor is kept as high within each dish. Expect hearty curries, moreish fried rice and the slurpiest noodles that leave you in a happy state of indecisiveness... pad Thai or larb gai? Best not to overthink it, start with the chicken satay.

Have we mentioned the offering of traditional mains? The slow-cooked pork belly deserves heritage status, while the sweet and sour sauce tossed through stir-fried veg makes for a truly delicious partnership. At this point, the choice is yours!
