The city's best salads in New Zealand

"Kitchen at the beautiful Hotel DeBrett is a great spot to pick for a longish lunch in the CBD, and is perfect for all weather due to its amazing skylight letting the outside in all year round. They serve up innovative, contemporary cuisine using super fresh ingredients, and are definitely more than a few cuts above your standard hotel restaurant. At the moment my pick is the Goat Ricotta Gnocchi, served with a side of crispy broccolini topped with Kikorangi Blue and walnuts. Delicious."

"For those days when Eggs Bene is just a little too much, the iconic Bistro Bambina on Ponsonby Road is my go to spot for some of the healthiest ways to kick off the day. Their bruschetta is always fresh and tasty and the breakfast salad a low carb feast for the taste buds. Great coffee is just an added extra!"

"I have been going to Richmond Road Cafe pretty much since it opened its doors, and can honestly say that the service there has never slipped. It is like a cafe with fine dining finesse, and their complimentary sparkling water and awesome banana bread just keep me coming back for more. Hands down on of the best cafes in the city."
