19 Southwark St, Christchurch Central City, Christchurch
A sophisticated sibling to Tom’s sandwich bar on Christchurch’s Southwark Street, Estelle sits neatly just a few strides and a diagonal road crossing away in a space in QB Studios. The white and bright industrial interior is a paired back canvas for a few carefully chosen artworks and fresh locally picked flowers that adorn the tables daily.
Similarly to its interior aesthetics, the food offering at Estelle is composed of simplistic yet elegant items quietly showing off in the cabinet. Everything is made fresh daily by Tom himself, including Grizzly baguettes filled with delicious classic combos (a contender for the best egg sammie in the city), interesting salads, and a mix of savoury and sweet baked goods – still warm if you arrive early and best enjoyed with a exceptional coffee using Prima beans.
If you want to enjoy Estelle fare outside of Southwark Street, this small team also offers a well curated catering menu for every kind of gathering – office morning teas, dinner parties, schmoozing work drinks that require impressive nibbles, etc. Order boxes of cookies, big slabs of focaccia, big hearty salads, tiramisu, and more.
Less is more when it comes to the way things are done at Estelle, and it’s incredibly hard not to want extra helpings of everything that comes out of the tiny kitchen here.
