ABOUT US
This bustling marketplace offers a fast, fun and flavourful escape, featuring eleven family-run kitchens under one roof. Dive into a world of diverse cuisines, from savoury to sweet, and enjoy the lively atmosphere.
Little High Eatery has become a central hub for gourmet international cuisine in Christchurch since 2017, symbolising the city's resurgence post-earthquake. Many of our kitchens started out in food trucks and The Re:Start Container Mall.
Little High opens daily from lunch to late, featuring over 200 craft beers and wines, diverse dining zones and a vibrant atmosphere, catering to a wide audience, without reservations. Its communal dining fosters social connections, making it a vital part of the community.
Order at any vendor, grab a seat & a buzzer, make a friend with the table next to you!

parking
Little High doesn't have its own car park. The closest paid parking is at 255 St Asaph Street or 181 High Street.
Both are paid, run by a third-party operator, and shared with the neighbouring business complex — they aren't Little High's own parking.
