Food for Thought:
The Nor’ Wester Café (est. 1997), brings to
Canterbury an opportunity to experience cultured dining in a rural
setting – a casual eating experience in a relaxed and friendly
atmosphere, both inside and "al fresco".
The menu is styled to allow and encourage
casual all day dining yet offering a hint of formality as the evening
draws on.
We have taken the opportunity to draw on
essence from the region through local products, which offers exciting
and unique culinary flavours.
Personally styled, indigenous surroundings,
with attention to detail which is also reflected in our concept to
service.
COME AND ENJOY A TASTE OF "THE HURUNUI"!
