Olive

Olive boldly attempts to be all things to all Wellingtonians: breakfast cafe, nocturnal bistro, wine bar, craft-beer joint and live-music venue...and somehow it all hangs together (the disarmingly familiar '80s font helps!). Switched-on staff shuffle plates of Persian guacamole and smoked Kāpiti albacore croquettes across two shopfronts, and into the compact secret-garden courtyard out the back.
