Meshino Cafe - Christchurch

Love meshino. Love eggs on toast with bacon. Love the kids play area. Love the friendly staff that care about the customers. Love the fact it has been opened for over 10 years. 5 star all the way.

The food here is alway super yummy! The service is great here aswell : the only thing I dislike is when they get busy there's not enough seating.

Not really sure why there's so many negative reviews? Came here with my mum, as she really likes the place and suggested we go in. <br/ <br/ I had a Spinach Cashew Pinwheel and a White Choc, Nut Berry Brownie. My mum had a Salmon Frittata and a Date Crumble. I've read negative comments on the food here and we thought the food was amazing! The date crumble was so good!<br/ <br/ Service was nice and it was quite busy but everyone who served us was really lovely. Coming from a hospitality background I enjoy good service and the girls working there were great! Unfortunately they forgot our coffees and I had to chase them up, the girl at the counter was very apologetic and they were made right away for us. <br/ <br/ I would definitely go back here, I don't understand all the hate!

I don't understand why this cafe has had such **** reviews. I actually found it very pleasant. I went there twice in one day as I had an appointment nearby.<br <br I had a decaf mocha and gluten free choc treat first. The coffee was good and the GF treat was excellent, moist, rich with a molten choc centre. I was intending to share some with my son but ate it all while he was playing : <br <br Came back later and had a delicious kumara, cream cheese and caramelised onion tart with a nice green salad which was piping hot (I am pregnant and it is always annoying to have to send something back to be reheated because it comes out luke warm and isn't safe to eat . Summer lunch menu was very appealing and reasonably priced all mains were $25 including the steak meal.<br <br The environment was lovely, light and airy with heaps of windows, but enough exposed wood, funky artworks and black accents to avoid being washed out. nice outside table area with plenty of seating. Staff were friendly and service quick.<br <br It was really child friendly. There was a sofa area with a box of toys, two good quality high chairs and a gated outside area with a mini table and chairs and small plastic fort.<br <br The only bum note, which was a major one unfortunately, was that the environs needed a thorough clean. My son went for a 30 second crawl inside and when I picked him up afterwards the tops of his feet had gone from pasty white to charcoal!! There were a few too many deceased flies on the windowsill, the toys were very grubby (with soil in some, even though they were inside toys?? and both high chairs needed a clean, even when we first came in at before 8am, so it was unlikely they had been used that day. After feeding my son I gave the chair a thorough wipe with wet wipes and it was visibly cleaner than when we started the feed not usually the way that goes!<br <br Apart from the cleaning, this is a great cafe and I would be keen to try a meal there.<br <br

Had a dinner here at 6pm on a Saturday night. Service was very good, waitress was very friendly and attentive, in fact quite switched on. We shared an entree of terrain which was excellent, toast was slightly too crispy and hard. Husband had rabbit risotto which he said was good, rabbit could have been a little larger but it tasted great. I had the salmon and it was delicious. All in all, it was very good and any criticisms we had were very small and did not impact on our whole experience. Certainly was good value for money considering the meals we had. Will be back.
