Ironically , with popcorn tastes good people had an actual legitimate complaint . This was just trolling . <| sep |> RESTAURANTS Dux Dine is really great , it only serves veggie food and fish . Pricey , but it ' s a very nice , upscale restaurant . I go here for special occasions , usually on a date . Food is just fantastic , and the wine list is alright too . Lotus Heart this should be a staple for every vegetarian ! Their food is amazing , really so good . The only problem is , it is run by a bunch of hippy weirdos . Like , they wear saris and sandals and once a year they close the cafe and go away on a religious retreat . IDK , the food is worth the kookiness . Castle Rock Cafe this place is right by my work in Hillsborough and it ' s worth making the trip to . They always have three or four genuinely delicious veggie options , and they make a chai latte to die for . Please go here for lunch one day , I know it ' s out of the way but it ' s worth going . Curry Time on Main North Road is my go to curry shop . It ' s pretty cheap and they do a mean kadhai paneer . Get takeaway , the restaurant is a bit kitchy for me . BARS Volstead is my favourite , but I haven ' t been for ages . It ' s in an old , huge garage and it ' s set up like a 20 ' s speakeasy . Cool vibe . There ' s a ridiculous amount of beer , and the cocktails are bloody good . Strongly recommended . The Tannery nice place to sit outside on a sunny afternoon . Nice booze selection , good atmosphere . There ' s always at least three dogs to pet . Turns out I don ' t have many bar recommendations . Probably because the best place to drink in CHCH is on my deck in the sun XD
