BREAKFAST
There's no better way to start the day than with breakfast at Wellington's surf mecca Lyall Bay. Maranui Cafe is so popular that you may have to wait a while – trust me, it's worth it. My go-to here is Queen Sally's Vegan Bliss Bowl – a delicious, healthy meal featuring house-made falafel and preserved lemon and turmeric quinoa, and topped with hummus, sauerkraut, harissa and savoury granola. This one dish has so many components – all made in-house – and I love how colourful and tasty it is. See maranuicafe.co.nz
