Café Valentino
A Christchurch classic, serving up woodfired pizzas to go. A favourite spot among visiting celebrities – but for now they’ll have to get takeaways like everyone else.

Nando’s
OK, technically it’s not Mediterranean – Nando’s is a South African creation. But Nando’s serves Portuguese-style chicken and it’s damn good.
