Our verdict

Fresh innovative food and excellent welcoming service in this popular bistro in the main street. Go for a late brunch or lunch and choose great combinations like smoked beetroot tartare, cereal crusted French toast with berry compote, banana and cream or prawn and mango pickled-vegetable salad. Classics given new twists at dinner include a popular lamb rack on cauliflower purée with a cheesy kumara croquette or beetroot and feta risotto.
