It is located under a fairly large building in the center of Christchurch. When I went there, it had been two or three years since the Christchurch earthquake, but the speed of construction in the Great New Village was really fast, so when I was looking for a store, I felt like I was walking in a ruin that was being rebuilt, which was also a very interesting experience. The facade was normal, but the interior had a modern punk feel. The reason was that the pipes used to transport fried potatoes, the special lighting, the interesting self-service water dispensers and other decorations were very impressive. Their burgers were delicious, and the ingredients were mostly fried, but they tasted very good, and I didn't feel greasy after eating them, and I felt that I hadn't finished them. Their fries, which were rolled like pig tails, were very crispy and had a strong potato flavor, and they didn't leave a mouthful of oil. They were very delicious.
Come soak up the quirky atmosphere and savor the pneumatically delivered burgers—this isn't your average cafe. From the outside, the building and outdoor dining area exude a Florida vibe. Step inside, and your gaze will be immediately drawn to the network of pneumatic tubes winding through the ceiling, connecting the numerous tables. The delicious food is the icing on the cake, so come back if you can.
A great place. The fries are piped in from the sky. It's fun. The breakfast is delicious. The decor is unique. The Moroccan chicken pie is delicious and generous. The espresso martini is excellent. The waiters are friendly and helpful.
The most special thing is that the fries are placed in a cylinder and then delivered to your seat through a pipe above your head. The quality of the fries is also good.
