Trendy Sydenham cafe Hello Sunday dominated the 2016 Christchurch Hospitality Awards last night, winning over both its industry peers and the public outside.

The awards were held at a flash event at the Art Gallery. Hello Sunday, which is housed in a former Sunday school at 6 Elgin St, was named the city's best as part of The Press People's Choice section, which is voted for by the public.

It also won the cafe of the year title in an industry-only vote, and also took out the "supreme establishment" award for getting the most votes in that sector.
