Along similar lines to the 'You went above and beyond for me I and wanted to say thanks!' thread, I thought I'd start a thread on eating establishments in Wellington (as the greater Wellington) that have good, honest food at good prices, and provide consistently good grub.
I'll make an statement here, that places I've been to, I've 99% of the time had my children with me as well (age 4 & 6)
I'll start:
1) Simmer Café in Churton Park. Good food, good coffee, and if, like me, you have children, a kids play area inside the café.
2) 1841 Johnsonville. Speedy service, kids menu, and kids get a kids pack (stickers, crayons, etc)
3) The roundabout, Tawa. Speedy service, kids menu, and kids get a kids pack (stickers, crayons, etc)
