8. Logan Brown Restaurant and Bar
Fine dining in Wellington
Everything you would expect from a leading fine dining restaurant except the pretension. Owners Logan and Brown believe having high standards doesn't mean their restaurant has to be formal.
The food concept is about honesty and simplicity with a balance of taste and textures without muddling the flavours. Plate presentation is important, but the real focus is on cooking correctly and creating dishes that eat well.
The style of service is warm and friendly with an emphasis on accuracy and product knowledge and an understanding that service needs to be tailored to individual diners' needs.
9. Mrs Clark's Cafe
Brilliant little cafe in Southland
True café style food, coffee and service. Their food is fresh and simple but tasty and home made.
The ambience here is so relaxing and some people never want to leave! They have sourced most of their food locally and it is all freshly made too. The eggs are amazing and come from very happy chickens down the road which are fed organically and are free range. There are many vege and gluten free items on the menu too.
Nothing here is fancy, the food isn't over garnished and there is no pretense to what the hosts do. The menu is kept affordable, and the date scones have cult following. Utmost pride is also taken in the coffees.
Overall they do their best to treat everyone the same, taking the time to chat to customers if able and making every effort for customers to feel as if they have come home.
Every day the staff are told how much they love Mrs Clark's Café and for them that is the true reward for working so very hard!
10. The Naked Possum
Unique cafe in Nelson + Tasman
The Naked Possum is an "eco tourism" gem situated at the edge of the Kahurangi forest in Golden Bay, New Zealand. Nestled in idyllic bush surrounds at the base of the Whakamarama mountain range it overlooks the Kaituna River and the entrance to the beautiful Kaituna Walking Track.
Their mission is to support the eradication of the brush tail possum (a destructive pest in NZ) in order to ensure that our diminishing native forests are protected and preserved. They are particularly passionate about the restoration of the once magnificent rata forest in Golden Bay so actively encourage ongoing pest control, and the follow up planting of rata trees, in this region.
The Naked Possum is a must do "destination" experience incorporating an eco tannery, a retail possum shop, a rata nursery and a fully licensed, award winning café... complete with large outdoor fire, spit roast and barbeque.
11. Waitete Restaurant, Cafe & Ice Creamery
Excellent restaurant in the Coromandel
This restaurant exists to provide ambiance, excellent service and great tasting food for their guests. They are open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner and even have their own ice cream factory on the premises. This produces delicious ice cream, gelato and sorbets. They have room to entertain up to 75 people inside and about 50 over the summer period.
The Personal Philosophy of chef Roland Straessle is: "Totally customer oriented fresh food excellent service and an ambience based on the German word GEMUETLICHKEIT which encompasses everything from the first smile when the guests arrive over the ambience, service and the food to the time after the meal when the customer just lingers and enjoys his time with friends or family in our surrounding, until he decides when it is time to leave."
12. The Works Cafe Restaurant
Restaurant in Eastland

The building housing The Works Café Restaurant was the "Sausage Factory" part of the Freezing Works and reminders of this are seen in the Restaurant.
During the summer you can sit under the grapevine canopy and sample the ambience of this location and restaurant while watching the boats slide gently into the inner harbour. And in the winter, you can sit inside with the fire warming the exterior while the good wines and food keep the inside comfortable and warm.
