Maranui Cafe

Brilliant atmosphere; excellent food, coffee and drinks. Best breakfast in Wellington.

coffee 32, the terrace

great coffee, great staff and nice classical music :) quite high govt, suit and blackberry factor though, still a nice place!

Good Indian food

Three choices so far..

The Balti House Great India Roti Chenai

Sweet Mother's Kitchen on Cuba Street does an amazing brunch, with sort of tex-mex stuff mixed up with great new zealand produce and coffee. Friendly staff and quirky decor make up for a little bit of a wait on the weekend.

Wagamama on the harbor near the Ferry Terminal.

Nicolini's Italian Restaurant on Courtenay Place is definitely the best place to eat in Wellington. Others that make the grade include Sweet Mothers Kitchen, Southern Cross, Midnight Espresso, Boulcott Street Bistro and Monsoon Poon.

Cute cafe with wifi: Mon Ami 8 Bond Street, Te Aro, Wellington http://mon-ami.co.nz/

good italian pizza - the kind with way less cheese. Pasta too.

up market beer and wine selection. Lotsa tables and chairs, and a room out the back for smallish functions.

Maranui suffered severe fire damage in August 2009 and is currently negotiating with Wellington Council to repair the buildings in their historic state rather than tear them down and build a new "super building". http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/wellington/2712949/Historic-club-cafe-destroyed

Fantastic healthy food - loved it !

For the serious coffee addict. Customs Brewbar in Ghuznee street, just opposite the road diagonally from Fix crnr cuba/ghuznee.
