A
Sweet Mother’s Kitchen
Perpetually full, predominantly with young cool cats, Sweet Mother’s serves dubious takes on the Deep South, such as burritos, nachos, the po’ boys and the New Orleans muffaletta. Key lime pie is about as authentic as it gets. It’s cheap, cute, has great cakes and gets good sun.

Miyabi Sushi
A steady stream of customers is testament to the satisfying food served at this low-key Japanese cafe hidden away off the main street. The smiling Mr Chuck prepares superfresh sushi, noodles, soups and set meals including teriyaki (chicken, beef or fish) with miso soup, rice and salad – delicious and great value. The gyoza (pot-sticker dumplings) are hard to pass up.

C
Osteria del Toro
Flamboyantly decorated in a baroque style with influences from all around the Mediterranean. The menu plucks popular classics from the region in a similar fashion. Pastas, pizzas and paella sit happily alongside souvlaki, tagine and tapas. Moreish food in Moorish surrounds; this restaurant, however, doesn’t charge like a wounded bull.

Scopa
Perfect pizza, proper pasta and other authentic Italian treats. Opened in 2006, this modern cucina is already a Wellington institution. Slick, friendly service and consistently good food make it deservedly so. Watch the groovy ‘Cubans’ from a seat in the window. Lunchtime specials; sexy evenings complete with cocktails.

Le Métropolitain
Prepare to be transported to the heart of France by your charming hosts. Expect unpretentious bistro fare in a suitably Gallic environment. Classics are well covered and include moules, onion soup, steak frites, coq au vin and escargot (yum). Cheese or scrumptious tart and a sticky wine for dessert, anyone?

Pravda
A classy downtown cafe (more chic restaurant by Wellington standards), scoring well with readers and folks that hand out culinary excellence awards. The opulent split-level space (styled in quasi-USSR mode) is a formal backdrop for enjoying well-assembled duck, chicken, fish and NZ lamb mains. Fantastic desserts and coffee.

Capitol
Simple, seasonal food using premium local ingredients, lovingly prepared with a nod to the classic Italian style. The dining room is elegant and intimate with large windows looking out onto busy Courtenay precinct. No dinner bookings are taken, but it’s well worth waiting with an aperitif at the tiny bar.

Nikau Gallery Cafe
Home to fine contemporary art and its culinary equivalent served up at Nikau. Efficient service, a stylish interior and some of the best cafe fare in town make this an obvious lunch-stop while checking out the abundant artworks. Legendary kedgeree and sunny courtyard.

KK Malaysian Cafe
Decked out like a dirty protest, tiny KK is one of Wellington’s most popular cheap Malaysians in a city obsessed with Southeast Asian cuisine. Satay to die for and rendang to put a smile on your face, accompanied by the ubiquitous roti, of course. Unlicensed.

Deluxe
A stalwart of the late-night cafe scene, with off-beat, oft-changing local art adorning the walls. Teeny wee space next to the Embassy Cinema somehow serves more than 500 coffees a day and mainly vegetarian/vegan counter food and pizza slices to loyal customers.

Felix
Despite some hard edges in this modern-industrial space, Felix is still a comfortable and attractive cafe that dishes out honest food morning, noon and night. The big windows keep things bright, as do the cheery staff. Great burger and heavenly chips.

Great India
This is not your average curry house. While a tad more expensive than its competitors, this place consistently earns its moniker. With any luck you’ll be served by Rakesh, one of the capital’s smoothest maître d’s.
