Al Ponte
Al Ponte’s moody riverside building has been a merchant store and a brothel, but today it’s a time-and-space vortex delivering you straight to Roma. There's plenty of seafood for the poisson-impassioned, plus zingy pizzas (the Salciccia is a vego delight: tomato, mozzarella, zucchini, artichoke hearts and black olives); or dive into a classic penne alla putanesca.

Stellar
Stellar lives up to its name – a cavernous bar-cum-restaurant with a convivial family atmosphere, it’s the town’s pride and joy. Reclining contentedly on leather couches, locals and tourists alike sip premium lagers and feast on bar morsels, gourmet pizzas and surf ’n’ turf fare. Frequent bands, DJs and quiz nights to boot.

Indigo
Along with Vega, Indigo dragged Whanganui dining into the new millennium. A decade later and the vibe is still up-to-the-minute snazzy; the lofty interior and outdoor terrace swim with NZ wines, and contemporary meat, pasta and fish dishes are assembled with progressive flair. The lamb pasties are huge.

Red Flame
There are a few Thai joints along Victoria Ave, but Red Flame is the only one that's consistently busy. Try the Red Flame Special: lamb, beef or chicken sautéed with cashew nuts, chilli, onion, capsicum and mushrooms, washed down with a Singha beer.

Red Eye Café
With inexplicable familiarity (maybe it’s the friendly staff), this bohemian urban cafe has colourful local art, tasty light snacks (bagels, nachos, salads) as well as more substantial meals (curries, organic chicken sandwiches). Good coffee, too.

The Orange
The Orange is a babbling espresso bar serving gourmet burgers, big breakfasts, muffins, cakes and sandwiches. The outdoor tables reportedly ‘go off' in summer.

Vincent's Yellow House
Local art, funky tunes, outdoor tables and great omelettes. Actually, it's more of a taupe colour...
