Haloumi is pretty much the food of the cheese gods when it's done right, and the haloumi in this salad from Ponsonby institution Santos (1/2 size $13; full $17) was grilled to perfection. Team it up with an Amazon juice (cucumber, apple, mint and ginger; $6.50) and a sit-down in their newly refurbished courtyard and you'll leave feeling fighting fit.
I can't have eggs benedict anywhere else now, this place has ruined it for me!! Eggs are always perfectly runny, hollaindase sause is just right - not too creamy or buttery, but full of flavour - and then they serve it with pesto!! It may not be for everyone - but i highly recommend them - ether salmon or bacon adn they do half size too! Coffee is very good too! Lovely to have brakfast in the courtyard on a cool morning :)
