Child Sister

Description

The trio who brought Christchurch the Gentle Giant have launched a new, sister concept on Manchester Street. Even after just a few weeks, Child Sister has already produced quite a lot of talk with their characteristic fit-out, stellar position and top-notch coffee, delicious cabinet food and a menu full of classics and Korean twists. The idea for the fit out was spearheaded by Sydney-based, Christchurch-bred Keemm Studio. The natural and mask colour palette, large front windows and long, wrap-around booth seating make Child Sister a straightforward and relaxing spot from which to observe the city. The menu provides creatives takes on old favourites, such as its jaffle, which is served with homemade caramel and banana jam, heaped with seeds and nuts for a satisfying crunch. A sesame hummus plate is served with miso eggplant chutney, avocado and fluffy warm pitas. Classics like eggs benedict and mushrooms on toast are done just as excellently as dishes like the soya beef with sweet carrot puree and chilli walnut pepita salad on sourdough.
