Riverside Market is a vibrant indoor food market in the heart of Christchurch, housed in a restored heritage building along the Avon River. Opened in 2018, it has become a hub for food lovers, offering over 30 stalls selling everything from fresh seafood and artisan cheeses to gourmet burgers and craft beer. The market's industrial-chic design, with exposed brick and steel beams, creates a lively yet relaxed atmosphere.
