Beautiful beach views.
Sand as far as the eye could see and the staff were really friendly.
Good menu options.

We were served by a young lady named Rochelle. She was very efficient, polite and friendly. The food was good, especially loved the beef burger and the four cheese pizza. Prices are a little steep in my opinion for a beach bar but the great service and friendly atmosphere made up for the pricey food and drinks.

Beach bar is a MUST try! Best food I have had in New Zealand! (Try the lamb shoulder, you will not regret it) The service from Sofie and Ava was AMAZING as well! As soon as you walk into the door of this place, the views take your breath away. If you are heading to Christchurch, take the extra drive to come here. Well worth it!

First time visit, sat outside as it was very busy, a bit chilly in the breeze but the view was amazing. I had the fish and chips and an iced coffee, both were top notch. Will definitely be heading back there.

I just had the best Birthday lunch here.
Great Food, Great Views, Excellent Service. Thank you to my darlings for choosing this place, definitely worth driving all the way from Timaru
Annie Smith
Lovely meal which we very much enjoyed. Thank you.

This place is amazing. We went on a hot summer's day and even though we didn't have a booking and the restaurant was really busy, the staff made a way to accomodate us and gave us a table outside with a spectacular view of Sumner Beach. Food was good and service was quick, polite & friendly even though they were really busy.

Great place. Great atmosphere. Coffee is good. View is nice. We have a dog so they put us outside which was perfect.The service was not good. We had to clean our table. And after the food arrived we had to ask twice for cutlery.
Andrea Tripodi
Pretty decent as food, nice beers, great location. We always love end up in here every time we go to Sumner. The pizza use to be better before, though... Geez, now they put way too much salad. Pizza type are classic kiwi style, not the best style when is about pizza tbh. If you can stand too much salt, the basic one, Margherita, is ok. We tried fish and chips last time.... Perhaps they should call it "taste if fish and chip" for how small the dish was. They have both indoor and outdoor tables and, in a good sunny day, it's very pleasant eating outdoor under an umbrella. Recommend.

Came here for breakfast for the first time, had a great window view of the beach. Fantastic atmosphere with great music. Staff are so friendly and provided great service. Had one of the best hot chocolates ive ever had and a 10/10 breakfast. Priced well too. Will be coming again one day soon!
Jay Theender
Really nice place for a couple of beers and some good fries.
Great view on the beach and sunset.

Chill bar and cafe in sumner! Good vibes, perfect for relax time😌 highly recommend their mushroom pizza! Its a white based pizza rarely seen in Christchurch topped with mushrooms, pistachios and honey for dressing🤤 Would like to visit again to try others on menu!
Nick Massey
I don't eat but it looked good. Bar was nice and the service was great. I like decor
Rebekah Iggo-Browne
We had the Beach Stack it was totally yum! Had my dog with us so sat in the picnic area. The lovely staff brought Alfie a bowl of water which was so lovely. Great location great staff and great food.
Heath Wells
Terrific location where the nearby parking is free... matched by terrific views of the beach.
Upon entry we were welcomed by friendly staff. The decor is soothing and in harmony with its location and the seating and furniture is comfortable and sturdy.
Drinks were ordered when we were seated and they duly arrived soon after. Very nice coffee. Full flavour and velvet smooth texture.
The menu is contemporary and very interesting with a range of small plate and sharing options to larger options. We dined at brunch time and as such my wife order eggs benedict and I ordered the warmed cheese dip with crispy pita breads.
The food was presented nicely and very flavoursome. The eggs were cooked to perfection and my cheese dip dish was delightful (as a lover of anything cheese related).
Would certainly return for the location, the great food, the excellent service and the overall pleasant enjoyable experience.
Helen Cronnolley
I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. Some of the staff were rude and unhelpful and should learn better manners and customer service. Food was cold or not got everything should have on plate. Not worth the money paid for it.
Chris Jamieson
Despite the negative reviews we had a good experience. We were seated quickly although no outside seating available but we were offered a table outside as soon as it became available, drinks came quickly and the staff were attentive and the food was great. Great location. Nothing negative to say. I think some of the staffing issues may come from casual backpackers filling staffing so perhaps using locals may be the way to address those negative staff remarks.

Fabulous breakfast! We had just arrived off a long overseas flight and fancied breakfast on the beach front. We came across Beach Sumner and couldn’t believe our luck. We sat enjoying the stunning view while eating a truly delicious breakfast. Thank you :)
Janelle Nye
We went to the beach tonight for our end of year work dinner. We had a table of 12 and spent over $700. We found the food was great but some of the staff were not at all friendly, some of them even rude, the service was really not good either which was very disappointing. With a few improvements this could be an amazing restaurant.
Karen Pelter
Yes the location is great as is the view. Unfortunately there’s a monopoly here....Very average staff & food. Been in so many better places. Nothing would entice me back Which is a shame.....Time to Up your game Beach!

Having previously been a loyal customer, I have been left frustrated and disappointed, after going to Beach this morning for breakfast for my fiancee's sister's 21st birthday.
Despite their website & menu outside saying that they are open for breakfast from 8am- 2pm, upon our arrival at 8.45am, they still weren't open!
We knocked on the door, in case they were about to open, but to no avail, even though we saw someone in there. We walked around the back & found an unapologetic staff member, who told us that they had changed to winter opening times last week.
We had travelled over half an hour for a special birthday breakfast and for Beach to just change their opening hours without bothering to update their website or outside their cafe, is completely unacceptable and shows a complete disregard for their customers.
We ended up going to Ocean, which is at the other end of the Esplanade & had a delicious seafront breakfast there. We will now be going to Ocean Cafe on all our visits to Sumner, as they have a delicious, varied menu, lovely sea front location & friendly staff.
Clair St Clair
The new owner has done a wonderful job of the newly decorated BEACH. But even better was my meal. I will be returning again and again for the wonderful atmosphere and food.
David 'Duke' Snider
The food and location were awesome though a few of the staff seemed a wee bit surly. Those that weren’t made up for those that were in the end.
Kerry Wall
Waited too long to be served staff standing around talking. Meals took 40 minutes to be served after being told they would take 10 minutes because staff were in meeting ? Food was good but service was shocking.
Alex Gall
Good and enjoyable food but thoroughly let down by the service. Rude staff experienced on two separate occasions.
Paula Massetti
Amazing!!!! Excellent service. Food was really really good!!! I recommend the green lip muscles!!! We will be back for sure !!!
Alaina Skews-Bunting
Had a fabulous Ladies Lunch here today. Excellent service, delicious food. Nothing was a problem. Thank you for catering for us and our 2 wee girls.
Anne-Marie Gerber
Very unfriendly staff! Felt like they were doing you a favour in serving you! Won't go there again!
Neville C Guy
Perfect place for lunch. Go every couple of years when I come to Christchurch.
Jesse White
Bad service, great location and food. Zero leadership on the floor. German girl needs to find a job where she doesn’t have to deal with other people because she is the rudest woman I have ever dealt with in hospo. Yes, she is that bad. Buy more umbrellas so you can fill up all the tables outside when it’s hot and sunny. Nobody wants to get burnt. Some sunscreen for the kids? Easy fixes. Oh, and please change the playlist, 80s hits are not for everyone on a Sunday afternoon.
Russell Hodgson
Great venue beautiful location. Great food,coffee and nice and friendly staff.
Paul Budgie Hargreaves

Elena Saltis
Beach is awesome!! Fantastic food great service lovely atmosphere and right on the beach!! Just terrific!! Love it
Audrey Bell
Amazing food. Wonderful atmosphere. Outstanding service !
Hamish Sword
Best spot to sit in Sumner but WORST SERVICE EVER. One woman belittles the staff and screams across the restaurant barking orders. Got told to wait for a table, along with 3 other people and it wasn't very busy- but we walked out because her manner was disgusting. Not one staff member looked happy to be there.
Such a shame as the location is amazing!!
