LAS IGUANAS CANTERBURY REVIEWS

Initially I was warned about the slow service, but me and my friends had anything but. I want to mention Gabe and his amazing attentiveness, nothing was too much and he made sure to take an order for our next drinks before we finished our current. Such a great waitor. Will definitely be back again! Recommend to all the girlies who are looking for a cheap bottomless brunch with great value x.

Came as a group of 5 to celebrate my sisters birthday. We had the bottomless brunch which was absolutely brilliant! Our server Lucian was on it making sure we always had drinks. He was a good laugh and service was quick. Thanks Lucian and Las Iguanas - we'll be back for sure!

Visited Las Iguanas for a bottomless brunch with my colleagues. The atmosphere was lovely, music was great and there was a good variety of cocktails. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Overall, I enjoyed my time there.

CAFE DES AMIS REVIEWS

This is the best meal I’ve had in Canterbury and I understand why this restaurant has lasted so long. It’s one of the busiest restaurants too so you do have to book (it was packed even on a dreary February weekday ). The decor is colourful and wonderfully eccentric. Every member of the staff was warm and friendly despite the fact that they were very busy. I ordered a chicken fajita which came with generous, fresh portions of everything and deliciously cooked chicken. It’s worth noting that although the menu shows fajita for two that can also do single portions on request (I nearly didn’t have one at all because I don’t know this). Other members in the party all complemented the food. Overall it was excellent and I strongly recommend it. Vegetarian options: Check the menu , but I felt that the vegetarian dishes seemed to be well thought out.

Cafe Des Amis is always a favourite place to go in Canterbury, the food is always good, service is prompt and the cocktails are so good. Definitely recommend booking as it can get really busy. I never walk away from here disappointed.

Had a delicious meal. Service was quick and efficient despite the fact that it was busy. Food was lovely and they have a great drinks menu too.

TACOS LOCOS REVIEWS

I was here for the first time today, and for sure, it won't be the last. I ordered the chicken/steak/prawn fajita and chicken wings. The taste was incredible. The price was reasonable. The staff were amazing, nice, and welcoming. They check on you regularly and make sure that everything is great for you. The atmosphere is very nice. I will be back again and again.

I’ve been to Tacos Locos a few times and always enjoy it there. Food is tasty, plenty of nice cocktails to choose from and staff are lovely. I will definitely be back.

The food was lovely and the staff were really generous and kind, especially sam :)
