Relish

Whoever told you to relish whatever life brings obviously knows about this great little eatery on Lambton Quay.

Conveniently placed for nearby offices and governmental organisations on Featherston Street, Relish is a great little spot for breakfast or lunch. Whether it's a quick bite you're after or a lazier lunch or breakfast within the heart of the city's business and financial district, Relish offers a break from the skyrises for something much more homey and informal.

Focusing on eats that everyone can get behind, they leave all the fancy trappings behind for honest plates like stuffed omelettes, eggs on toast, and open breakfast sandwiches that make for a wonderful way to start the day.

By the time midday rolls around, Asian-inspired eats come into the fold in the form of Thai laksa soup, beef massaman, and chicken red curry. And for drinks, get your five-a-day in with Relish's famous homemade smoothies that pack in the nutrients with banana, blueberry, orange, and spinach.
