We had the opportunity to have breakfast here when we stayed at the hotel.
The buffet spread was good and the coffee was quite good with options to choose from.
The interiors are tastefully done and the restaurant is sunlit in the morning giving it warmth and a welcoming feel.
The service was good and the staff was courteous.

We are Christchurch locals who wandered into this cafe one evening for coffee, and were very impressed with the lovely, warm atmosphere by the fire, the professional, friendly staff, the quality of the food and coffee and to top it off, great value for money! We will recommend this cafe to others, and definitely be back!
I had the opportunity to try their morning buffet. The food was pretty good... So was the overall ambience of the cafe. I'm not able to recommend any specific dishes through.
Decided to forgo going out in the cold to fancier restaurants and settled for the hotel's cafe and I must say that we were pretty impressed with the quality of food presented. The cafe was small but cozy and service was good. We had the slow roasted carrots with macademias, mash potato with redwine gravy and nasi goreng with satay and rice crackers - it was one of the best asian dish we had in Christchurch!
Good. This was the only place I could find open near the Quest where I was staying in central Christchurch, with the earthquake repairs on going it can be hard with limited choice. I was pretty happy with the meal here, had a beer, a glass of Waipara Pinot Noir, and the Canterbury Lamb Ragout for main. To finish off I had the soft centred chocolate cookies with espresso ice cream for dessert and it was very tasty.
The service was efficient if not overly friendly.
Staff went out of their way to accommodate our dietary requirements - thanks to the chef for making us yummy grilled chicken sliders!
Awesome service from the staff (one of the front staff remember me when I came back two days later). Loved their french toast. Will come back to try their dinner next time
Delicious food and very good coffee! Very impressed by the customer service as well. Special mention to Martiza. Thank you very much. I had the avocado on rye toast and it was very tasty. Thank you chef.
Lovely atmosphere, we dined early so not busy. Waitress was excellent, professional and unobtrusive. My main was simply divine. Lamb with delicious greens. Would recommend. Dessert was an unusual deconstructed cheesecake, nonetheless delicious. I recommend Straits Cafe without hesitation. My second time dining here. :-)
Our whole dining experience was Absolutely wonderful lovely friendly welcoming staff. Superb meals
