Cruisy Days Diner

Stepping into Cruisy Days Diner is like stepping straight into a 1950s American diner – the only difference being that as its based in Oxford, there's usually a pair or two of gumboots outside. From the black and white checked floors, red leather booths and retro jukebox to the pancake stacks and bottomless filter coffee arriving on tables, Cruisy Days isn't just taking inspiration from its theme, it's bringing it to life for everyone who walks in the door. And the fun created is infectious. Husband-and-wife duo Kimm and Bruce Moore and their staff are always dressed top to toe in 50s clothes – think little retro diner hats, perfect hair, red lippy and defined waists all round. Cruisy Days Diner is truly memorable. Closed Monday. 55 Main Street, Oxford. (03) 312 1479, cruisydays.co.nz
