be found at pubs on the town fringe and beyond.
DP:One Cafe
CAFE $
(104 Mawhera Quay; meals $7-23; 8am-8pm Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm Sat & Sun; )

Don't miss the doorway because up-
stairs the restrained-retro Freddy's beckons with good espresso, all-day hot meals (pan-
cakes, seafood chowder, pasta) alongside an appealing selection of cabinet food. The
likes of vegetarian quiche can be rounded off with several different chocolate options, in-
cluding the venerable afghan biscuit.
Ali's Eating & Drinking
CAFE $$$
(9 Tainui St; mains $12-27; 8am-10pm Mon-Sat, to 3pm Sun)
Painted in warm orange and ad-
orned with local art, conservative but comfortable Ali's serves honest all-day food of

such as Knickerbocker Glory.
