> I visit 71st Cafe x Bar very often and I absolutely love this place. The atmosphere is always lovely and relaxing, and the staff are friendly and welcoming every time. The menu offers a great variety of Thai dishes, drinks, and brunch/café options, so there’s something for everyone. The Thai dishes are rich in flavor and nicely spicy, very authentic and reminding me of home. The cakes, coffee, and other drinks are all delicious as well. There are so many options on the menu, I always end up wanting to try something new every time I visit. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Christchurch. Hi, Natthakitta Kerdchai, 6 months ago
> Good food and great spice levels for those spicy lovers. Their Hot level has my mouth watering for more after each bite. Also recommend coming for brunch as they are open during the day with a yummy selection, Caitlyn Inthavong, 2 months ago
> OMG best mocha in Christchurch city so far. Brilliant brunch! The variety of Thai fusion dishes are unbelievable. Tasty, yummy and well presented. Definitely come back because of great services too. Highly recommended. They will serve dinner with many Thai original dishes and drinks soon. Can’t wait!!, Pat Q, 10 months ago
