FOOD & CULTURE<br />
Vanessa Ortynsky highlights ways to satisfy multiple cravings simultaneously.<br />
I<br />
s there anything better than combining our two favourite things, food and culture?<br />
Lucky for us, the South Island is home to a whole range of cultural institutions,<br />
from art galleries to boutique cinemas and must-visit museums, with in-house<br />
restaurants and cafés. Here are a few that are bound to whet your appetite.<br />
Lumière Cinemas<br />
We couldn’t be more excited<br />
about the arrival of Lumière<br />
Cinemas (in The Arts Centre),<br />
which is home to two theatres<br />
and a snack bar to rival all snack<br />
bars. Like the films it shows, its<br />
snack options are diverse and<br />
of the highest quality. Tuck into<br />
truffles from Banks Peninsula’s own<br />
She Universe, or order a glass of<br />
rosé, a coffee with beans from<br />
Lyttelton Coffee Co. or a freshly<br />
baked croissant. In the warmer<br />
months, we won’t be able to resist<br />
a scoop or two of Rollickin’ Gelato.<br />
Lumière is also home to Bijou<br />
Bar, an art-deco style cocktail bar<br />
that makes for the ideal pre-movie<br />
drink or nightcap before heading<br />
home. With so many enticing<br />
options, we’ll be hanging out here<br />
long after the movie has ended.<br />
