36 Lake Rd; mains $12-18; 8am-4pm Mon-Fri, 8am-3pm Sat)
A
really interesting cafe away from the hubbub, Third Place has leapfrogged into first by our
reckoning. All-day breakfast/brunch sidesteps neatly between chicken jambalaya, fish and
chips, and an awesome 'mumble jumble' of crushed kumara (sweet potato), green toma-
toes and spicy chorizo topped with bacon, poached egg and hollandaise sauce. Hangover?
What hangover? Slide into a red-leather couch or score a window seat overlooking Ohine-
mutu.

Wedged somewhere between Mexico and Morocco, Abracadabra is a ma-
gical cave of spicy delights, from beef-and-apricot tagine to king-prawn fajitas and
Tijuana pork chilli. Conjure up your own 'Day of the Dead' (tomorrow) with a tour
though the dedicated tequila menu. Beaut beer terrace out the back.
