New Zealand has a reputation for excellent restaurants at affordable prices.

Downtown Wellington and Christchurch, and Ponsonby in Auckland have a great variety of places to eat.

New Zealand chefs are famous for their own 'Pacific Rim' style of cooking which takes ingredients from Europe, Asia and the Pacific and combines them in deliciously original dishes.

As well as this you can find Italian, Turkish, Indian, Japanese, Lebanese, Greek and Thai restaurants in the same street.

 

Cafés

 

Kiwis love coffee. There are hundreds of cafés in New Zealand's cities, people come to meet friends, read and just relax with a latté or a cappuccino.
