You will find this upstairs cafe, unmistakable in its purple and yellow paint job, on the city fringe in colourful and historic Newtown. Attributes include the friendly staff, impressive artworks, moderate prices, child friendliness and live music (some nights). Ready made foods--muffins, panini, pancakes - are available and a varied blackboard menu for brunch or a more formal dinner. Great for coffee while reading the paper or a relaxed three-course meal with friends. Licensed. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Brooklyn's focal point |
5 Todman Street Brooklyn Wellington 6002 New Zealand +64 4 385 3592 |
Established in the early 1990s, this cafe occupies a great corner site in Brooklyn Village and is a real community gathering point. The building dates back to 1895, and features a wooden interior with fresh cream walls, and large windows ensuring plenty of sunshine (on a good day). The restaurant serves light meals, all day brunches and dinner. The menu is fresh and varied. Try the Salmon Fillet with Vegetables on Parmesan Cream Fettuccine or stick to a rib-eye steak. An excellent wine cellar compliments the meals. Review © 2007, Wcities |
