Federal Store
(440 Devon St E; mains $10-20; 7am-5pm Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm Sat & Sun; )
Super-popular and
crammed with retro furniture, Federal conjures up a 1950s corner-store vibe. Switched-on
staff in dinky head scarves take your coffee order as you queue to order at the counter,
keeping you buoyant until your hot cakes, New Yorker sandwich or spicy beans arrive.
Terrific cakes, tarts and pre-made counter food (love the vegie frittata), and very kid-
friendly, too.

Arborio
( 06-759 1241;

;
Puke Ariki, 1 Ariki St; mains $13-34; 9am-late)
Despite looking like
a cheese grater, Arborio, in the Puke Ariki building, is the star of New Plymouth's food
show. It's airy, arty and modern, with sea views and faultless service. The Med-influenced
menu ranges from an awesome tandoori chicken pizza to pastas, risottos and spicy cala-
mari with garlic and coriander. Cocktails and NZ wines available.
