Cafes in Canterbury

21st May 2011
I took my 7 year old Goddaughter up to the Cup for breakfast today. it is under New managment and the place was buzzing. They treated my little 7 year old buddy like a princess and the food was quick, yummy and fairly priced. I will definately be coming back.

I have been there twice in the last 3 month. Both times I was not happy. Had the steak sandwich the first time, it was very flavoursom and fresh, but the "steak" was just to small approx. 6cm in diameter and about 1/2 inch thinn, not what I would call a steak. The second time I had warm rice noodle salad with rocket, mount cook salmon and preserved lemons....the rocket was really bitter, and had seedheads on it, there were hardly any (cold) rice noodles and the preserved lemons were a shreaded pulp...they may come this way, that I don't know, but I did not like the tast, the salad was fairly oily and I asked for lemon which I did not get, apparently they wear out of lemons, hence I left some of the salmon on my platte (with the rocket), which of there was plenty. The kids enjoyed the chicken kebabs, but not the "chips", which are panfryed potato wedges, they were underseasond, hard in the middle and lukewarm.3 out of 6 of my friends I was dinning with also didn't finish their meal as they just did not like it (they had all the same!)Also there seemed to be a bid of a "atmosphare" and the staff seemed stressed...we did't realy feel like lingering, as it seem to much trouble to them if we ordered anything else!
