More information on Chocolate Fish Cafe

This famously relaxed cafe, on the coast road near the suburb of Seatoun, is one of Wellington's best-kept secrets. It is perfect on a weekday when the sun is shining and the winds calm. The excellent coffee, expansive sea views and wholesome food could only be improved by good company. Tables are littered al fresco on both sides of the road and there is a cosy indoor eating area. Great views, simple snacks, good coffee and ice cream are specialities.
