   Ciao Bella's eggs are the brunch order: the mushroom and goat's cheese version, or the carbonara take. Weekend hours run from 7am on Saturdays and 8am on Sundays, and both days close at 9pm, so there is room for a long sit. Burrata bruschetta and the caprese focaccia are the dishes to share, and one visitor praises the focaccia for its fresh tomato. A short stroll from the door reaches Wairoa Reserve.

2. #2Cafe Bondi for a burrata scramble on a weekend morning
