Our Lounge

Arcado Lounge was once a 1960s furniture shop, and we’re proud to continue that tradition by, er, having lots of old furniture in it. So pull up a retro chair inside or out, relax and watch the good people of Christchurch go by.

Check out our great range of food and drinks (including full kids, gluten-free and vegan menus). With our huge full-width windows that open right up and a great little terrace, we’re a great little spot, rain or shine. Our one goal is to ensure every customer leaves happy, so pop in.

A person holds a sandwich with greens and cheese, ready to eat, while another sandwich and a glass of orange juice sit on a patterned green table.
A dessert plate with a chocolate brownie topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, drizzled with chocolate sauce and sprinkled with powdered sugar, sits on a wooden table marked with the number 10.
Five colorful drinks with ice and garnishes, including lime, orange, mint, and cucumber, sit on a patterned table in sunlight. Each drink has a straw.
