KOKOMO brings coastal cuisine to Christchurch, open early til late on Welles Street in the central city.
The kitchen serves modernised coastal cuisine, with fresh, thought-provoking plates inspired by both local suppliers and their sustainable produce, as well as global coastlines - from New Zealand and the Pacific to Asia and beyond. Coastal cuisine here means simple, fresh ingredients paired with modern cooking techniques and elements of fusion.
Menus are designed for sharing with friends, family and loved ones, suited to everything from a Pina Colada-fuelled catch-up to a romantic dinner. KOKOMO always tries to keep space for last-minute bookings and walk-ins, and offers set menu options for dinner groups of 10 or more, plus a pre-order or à la carte service for larger breakfast and lunch groups.
On Welles Street in Christchurch's central city, KOKOMO brings coastal cuisine to Ōtautahi, open early til late, seven days a week.
KOKOMO's plates are fresh and thought-provoking, drawing inspiration from both local suppliers and their sustainable produce, and from coastlines stretching from New Zealand and the Pacific to Asia and beyond. The kitchen's approach to coastal cuisine marries fresh, simple ingredients with modern cooking techniques and elements of fusion, resulting in a menu that changes regularly to showcase seasonal produce from KOKOMO's producers.
KOKOMO's philosophy is that great food should be shared, and the menus reflect that - designed with friends, family and loved ones in mind. Whether it's a Pina Colada-fuelled catch-up or a romantic dinner, the format is built around sharing plates rather than strictly individual courses.
Covering breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks, KOKOMO opens Monday to Friday from 8am and weekends and public holidays from 9am, running through to late each day. The kitchen keeps space open for last-minute bookings and walk-ins, so dropping in without a reservation is genuinely welcomed.
For dinner groups of 10 or more, KOKOMO generally offers a set menu, while larger breakfast and lunch groups can be accommodated with a pre-order service or à la carte. Group bookings outside standard hours can also be arranged by phone, and anyone planning a larger brunch, lunch, drinks or dinner booking is encouraged to get in touch by email.
KOKOMO offers gift cards for anyone wanting to share the experience, and reservations can be made directly through the website. The team can also be reached by phone for bookings and enquiries, including outside standard hours for group arrangements.
