Blue Belle Cafe

If you want to sit in scenic wonder while you bite into your nuclear-hot pie and spill gravy all over your new tan trousers, then head down to Blue Belle Cafe. It’s situated on the stupidly pretty Island Bay in Wellington, and does some of the best pies to be found in the city. It’s a wonderful place to grab a bite to eat. Impeccably clean – until you spill mouthfuls of unbelievably rich flaky pastry all over the place – and with a lovely relaxed vibe, which is cosy in the winter and laid-back in the summer.
