On a recent trip, I found food in many restaurants to be very expensive to cover all meals for our family's 2 wk trip...but discovered some wonderful cafes! What are some of your favourites? What do you like about them?
- Rhubarb Cafe (Roslyn neighborhood, Dunedin) - quiche, mixed salad, pesto orzo, antipasti of marinated roasted veggies and fresh mozzerella, cured black olives $6 NZD + half-sized/kid serving eggs benedict with ham or thick meaty bacon $7 NZD
- Lembas (Raumati, Kapiti coast) - don't recall exactly what we had, a bit pricier but a fine chef, abundant servings, funky neighborhood atmosphere
- Wholemeal Cafe (Takaka) - hopping place at lunchtime, great selections of wholefoods entrees
Cappachino (sp?) excellent everywhere (but at the airport!)
Quiche a great buy everywhere and hearty enough to keep you going thru the next few hours
Carrot cake in NZ - loaded with nuts and dried fruit, mmm!
