LYTTELTON restaurant Roots
has been named in a prestigious
list of the world’s 1000 best
eateries.
La Liste is a restaurant guide
compiled from hundreds of
guidebooks and online review
sites to list the world’s 1000 top
restaurants.
Eight New Zealand restaurants
made the list and Roots
was the only restaurant outside
of Auckland to make the cut.
It’s owned by Christy Martin
and Giulio Sturla who opened
the restaurant in 2012.
Roots also won Cuisine
Magazine’s Restaurant of the
Year award in 2015. It was also
named runner-up best new
restaurant in the Good Food
Awards in 2014.
Auckland-based restaurants
The French Cafe, The Grove,
Sidart, Kazuya, Cocoro, Merediths
and Baduzzi also feature
on the list.
Last year there were four Kiwi
restaurants on the list, compared
to this year’s eight.

two restaurants on the list, The
Grove and Baduzzi. He told
the Weekend Herald he was “so
proud” to be associated with
two establishments which were
included.
Beachgoers put off by weather
• By Annabelle Dick and Fraser

THE BUSIEST days of the
lifesaving season are yet to
come.
A mixture of cooler temperatures
and getting the right
messages to the public has seen a
safe summer so far, clubs say.
Normally the busiest part of a
beach lifeguard’s season is over
Christmas and New Year – but
not this year due to cooler temperatures
over the festive period.
Sumner Surf Lifesaving Club
lifeguard captain Henry Lawson
said the traditional busy period
on the beaches has passed, but it
was quieter than normal due to
the weather and surf conditions.
“The weather hasn’t been great
and the surf hasn’t been very
good. There hasn’t been much
of a wave – a couple of days
have been all right but it’s pretty
small,” he said.
But Mr Lawson expects it to
get busier as a large number of
people are returning from holidays
away.
“There’s a drop off when people
head out of town but when
it’s the end of the holidays and
families have been to the park,
museum and done everything
they can then the beach is always
there,” he said.
“ We expect a kick up from
here.”
Incidents at Sumner have also
been low, Mr Lawson said the
biggest injury so far was a finger
that wouldn’t stop bleeding.
“It’s been pretty relaxed with
incidents due to the weather.

Rips and currents aren’t very
powerful so people have been
able to manage it,” he said.
Meanwhile, further north,
New Brighton Surf Lifesaving
Club lifeguard manager Scotty
Roberts said the traditional
busy period on the beaches has
passed, but it was quieter than
normal because the weather
“hasn’t been that fantastic” so
far.
“I’m hoping that kind of
weather is still to come, I really
want to see more sun come
through and with that then
comes the increase in numbers
on the beach,” he said.
Waimairi president Mike
Litten said the club has seen
“slightly” fewer people on the
beach compared to the last couple
of years.
“On our beach it’s very familyoriented,
further down in [New]
Brighton it’s more adults, but on
ours we tend to see families and
young people. Due to that there’s
probably been fewer saves than
at this time last year I think,” he
said.
