Brunch classics - try the chickpea-and-corn fritters - and interesting shared-plate mains
like tempura squid and star-anise chicken feature at the best cafe in town. A longboard
strapped to the wall, wobbly old floorboards, up-tempo tunes and international staff
serving Kiwi wines and craft beers complete the picture.

The menu
also strays into Western flavours, but the authentic Cambodian dishes are the ones to go
for. Our pick is the Char Kreoung chicken or beef with lemongrass and lime, or the delic-
ate Amok steamed and curried fish. On Tuesdays from 6.30pm, the restaurant hosts a buf-
fet (per person $28). Booking ahead is recommended.

A day started at an Orca window seat, looking over the water, with some
eggs Benedict and coffee, is a day well launched. Come back in the evening for salmon
risotto, shared platters and live music.
