Dinner below ground is a bit of a novelty - the East Street Cafe is in a basement below a backpackers in Nelson. I like them for their hearty range of vegetarian food - including GF and vegan options. Generous servings and reasonable prices. Good for a casual feed without breaking the bank.Can recommend the veggie burger!
I couldn’t believe this place when I found it in the old cellars of a backpackers on East Street, just by the beautiful Nelson Cathedral. The East Street Café is a hidden gem with simple, fresh and inexpensive vegetarian food and a drinkable house wine. Probably originally aimed at the penniless backpacker it now caters for a wider clientele but the food is still inexpensive, unpretentious and very well suited to the atmosphere of underground bar meets hippy eatery.
