About KOKOMO

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.

Built for Sharing
