Used to always go to Velvet in Auckland and was very disappointed on this trip to find that outlet shut up for good - so I was really happy to find one within walking distance of where we are staying in Christchuch. Expectations were very high and thankfully met. I had the Cheesy Bro (delicious, juicy and definitely cheesy), my wife went all in for the Big Bro (she misses those archetypal eggy NZ burger), while daughter chose the Luxe Burg chicken offering. The fluffy lightness of the bun makes the burger filling and yet not heavy at the same time. Coupled with delicious kumara fries, Velvet was a great as ever.
My husband and I are Malaysian tourists, we were staying at Christchurch for the night. This place was recommended by a friend. My husband doesn’t eat beef so he ordered the chicken burger called the lumberjack snack and I order the mini OG(beef burger). Both burgers was so delicious!! Everything was perfect. PS. We drove down from Queenstown, and I’d say this is better than Ferg’s burger.
Heck. I like the music the food and the staff. Get the music right...man it makes a difference here. The OG burger is nice. That's what I brought at 13:50 approx. A real authentic burger dinner experience....and hint of American ...it's nice.
