Little India in Manners Street, almost the corner of Taranaki and Manners Street is a great Indian restuarant.

and my final comment: I have finally had dinner at Boulcott Street Bistro - it was FANTASTIC - but arrive early. They don't take bookings for dinner - so we choose to arrive at 5.45 - which was early - but worth it!

If you are in the hUtt, then go to the Shanghai kitchen, the decor is nothing at all. but the food is FANTASTIC!

Logan Brown is great but doesn't strike me as a great restaurant for vegetarians - it's very meat-centric. Chow is modern Asian cuisine and has great, fresh, interesting flavours and plenty of veggie options.
The market next to Te Papa is a farmers market outside, but the City Market insde the nearby Chaffers Dock building is also well worth a visit - artisan food products to tempt you!

La Bella italia in Petone is a large Italian warehouse/caf'e/restaurant- .the food is fabulous. There is also a GREAT cafe in Lyall Bay .heading out to Eastbourne that has a gorgeous vegetarian breakfast.

Where is it, and what sort of food is it, is it an 'eat out' place or just where you purchase items from
