1. Dulcie – Devonport
A café that hits all the right notes. Dulcie’s menu is packed with crave-worthy options, but the chicken sandwich is one we can’t get enough of. Perfect for a relaxed morning coffee or weekend brunch in the heart of Devonport.

2. Mother – Grey Lynn
By day a café, by night soon-to-be a wine bar, Mother is the spot on everyone’s hit-list. We’re yet to try it ourselves, but with its dual identity and Grey Lynn vibes, it’s one to watch. Perfect for a casual weekend pick-me-up or a low-key evening unwind.

3. Flush Golf / Bar Ziti – Britomart
The ultimate hybrid spot. Flush Golf brings the golf simulator thrills, while Bar Ziti offers world-class hospitality for those less into swinging clubs. Whether you want a round of golf or just a top-tier meal, this is where sport meets sophisticated socialising.

4. The Wine Room by David Nash – College Hill Road
What happens when a wine expert meets a Michelin-star chef? Magic. The Wine Room is refined, elevated, and one of those spots that will make your weekend feel a little more special. If you’re a wine or food lover, this one’s a must.
