Lonely Planet review for Chocolate Fish
Much is made of this café being a favourite with film stars working in Wellywood, but it's good enough without such validation. It's a colourful, quirky place in Scorching Bay, east of the city (for the scenic route, take Oriental Pde all the way around Evans Bay, a total of 13km). Sit outside right on the beach (good for swimming) and tuck into a bumper breakfast, perfect panini or hunk of cake. Expect to wait for a table on sunny weekends.

Chocolate Fish now called Scorch-o-Rama
n2nz recommends this,
It's a lame name, but the uniqueness of a cafe that has beachside outdoor seating and waitstaff who wear road-worker safety vests as they cross the street with trays of food and coffee, remains. This cafe's big secret is how protected it is from the Northerly gales that buffet Wellington 200+ days per year - the large hill behind Scorching Bay provides a wonderful wind-blocker. So, when you're getting blown around sitting outside in the city, it's often peaceful around this side of the Miramar peninsula. The best news is that the original owners of Chocolate Fish (and keepers of the name) have built new and better in Shelly Bay, on the same Peninsula road but closer to the city. More choice! Kiwi pun intended.
