Unknown Chapter was recommended to me on a recent visit to Christchurch and it didn't disappoint.
Centrally located, it was pumping at 9am on a public holiday. I ordered the veggie breakfast which came with a generous helping of halloumi, mushrooms, tomatoes, and spinach, with a yummy potato rosti, sourdough and two poached eggs. Supreme, couldn't fault it. A bit of chilli in the relish would have transformed it though. The cabinet was plentiful also and the ginger tea was good. Friendly service and warm ambience. Overall, a great experience, A+
I came here during a roadtrip with my partner and some friends and it is safe to say that this place is very good! From the food to the modern setting.
The food was the main feature, it was well presented and have some awesome flavors along with perfect portions. I had the smashed avo which was delicious with a fantastic texture and flavour. My partner got the blueberry compote porridge which was also delicious with a notable texture. There were also plenty of gluten free options which is a big plus at any place for me. The food front therefore provided me with no complaints. The coffee was also very good and I would highly recommend it.
The atmosphere of the place was very fresh and clean which was appealing. It lacked a little character but it didn't affect the overall dining experience. Otherwise, the aesthetic was current and modern with an open and light filled space.
The service was good but nothing special, mostly because of the way the place is organized whereby, you order at the counter. There is nothing wrong with that but sometimes you don't get a full customer service experience. But by no means is this a negative.
Overall this is an awesome little place that really focuses on the important stuff (the food!). The food was delicious and there was great coffee, what more could you want. I would recommend this place to anyone in Christchurch.
Best coffee in chch! And amazing food to match. would definitely recommend to anyone who struggles with finding a good long black- these guys nail it!
