Whether you're into fine dining, fast food, beer and wine or eating sustainably, Christchurch has the place for you.

The city’s reputation as a hospitality hub is steadily growing as new food spots crop up while established spots continue to prosper.

The latest batch of outstanding hospitality venues were recognised at the Canterbury Hospitality Awards on Monday evening.

Popular wine bar Cellar Door was named supreme establishment of the year; barbecue joint Smokey T's claimed the people’s choice award; Child Sister won the outstanding café award and OGB won best bar for the fourth year running.

The Vagabond Chefs won the community award for their efforts following the Covid-19 alert level 4 lockdown. They contributed regular donations of resources and food to Christchurch City Mission and KidsCan to help those most in need.

In the individual categories, Inati eatery chef Simon Levy took out outstanding chef of the year, Charles Guillotine Gillet of The Last Word claimed bartender of the year, whilst barista of the year went to Fumihiko Takai of Espresso Studio by Fushoken, in Riverside Market.

Elizabeth St in Riccarton will soon undergo major changes in the as work progresses on the city end of the new south express cycleway.

Fulton Hogan are building the first stage of the cycleway and have begun building the section that runs along Suva St and Ballantyne Ave.

Shortly they will begin work on the section that runs along Elizabeth St between Wainui St and Deans Ave.

That work will involve some major changes to the way that Elizabeth St functions.

Cul-de-sacs will be created at both the Wainui St end of Elizabeth St and the Clarence St end of Elizabeth St. Elizabeth St will also be realigned at its intersection with Division St.

The south express is part of the network of major cycleways that Christchurch City Council is building.

The 15km route will run from Templeton, on the western edge of Christchurch, through the suburbs of Hornby, Sockburn and Middleton, where it will connect to the nor’west arc cycleway, which is currently under construction.

It will then go through Riccarton, where it will link into the soon-to-be-constructed northern line cycleway and the shared paths in South Hagley Park.

Leaning Christchurch lighthouse guided to its own safe waters

A symbol of safety in Christchurch's port for 130 years has returned to its rightful home after close to a decade in storage.

A symbol of safety in Christchurch's port for 130 years has returned to its rightful home after close to a decade in storage.

The region's September 2010 earthquake left the Lyttelton Lighthouse leaning over precariously after the foundations of the harbour’s eastern mole on which it stood subsided almost two metres.

It rested that way for eight months, tilting at an angle of 15 degrees – four times that of the Leaning Tower of Pisa – until it was rescued in May 2011. It was then carried by barge across the harbour to safe land, stored carefully near the entrance to the Lyttelton Tunnel.

With the mole, or breakwater, repaired as part of the project to build a cruise-ship berth in Lyttelton, the lighthouse was last week returned to its original spot and affixed to new foundations.

International shipping regulations mean the lighthouse will be off-limits to the public, although people will have a good view of it from nearby Naval Point – and of course from the sea.

And while its days as a navigation necessity came to an end in the early 1990s, the glow of its paraffin lamp replaced by modern lights, the Lyttelton Lighthouse will still shine out across the harbour.
