Slow Fish
There’s no slacking about in the kitchen of this award-winning, eco-aware cafe, which promotes the art of savouring fine, locally sourced food. It’s so popular you’ll have to crowbar yourself in the door or pounce on any available alfresco seat, but it’s absolutely worth it for its free-range eggs and ham, Greek salads and divine counter selection.

Astrolabe
A clever combo of swish, style and Pacifica-rustica, Astrolabe is probably the Mount’s best restaurant, catering largely to a deep-pocketed hip crowd who indulge in gourmet goodies like venison, confit duck and oysters. You can also come in for a boutique bevvie in the beer garden and a whack of pool.

Providores Urban Food Store
Surf videos set the mood as your eyes peruse fresh-baked breads, buttery croissants, home-smoked meats and cheeses, organic jams and free-range eggs – perfect ingredients for a bang-up breakfast or a hamper-filling picnic on the beach. Superb!

Zambezi
A cheap-and-cheerful cafe serving burgers, panini and nice simple sandwiches. There’s eggy brekkies and coffee of course, plus plenty of healthy options such as juices and salads. Licensed too, if you feel like a Mac’s or Monteiths.

Zeytin Café
Readers recommend Greco-Moroccan Zeytin for its slow-cooked tagines, spanakopita and moussaka, plus live jazz or swing on Thursday nights. Stripy cushions and Arabic lanterns adorn the cavelike interior.

This all-you-can-eat Chinese place is a local favourite with a bargain bite that maintains tasty flavours rather than resorting to a bland melange. Discount dinners from Monday to Wednesday.

Gusto
This friendly spot keeps its menu affordable but interesting, with Kiwi standards such as lamb and kumara (sweet potato) given a refreshing treatment. Cool tunes; sassy staff.
