"El Matador Cafe, Asador Grill & Bar is best known for its meat dishes, barbequed and grilled Argentine-style, but it’s also a great choice for brunch – especially if you don’t feel like competing with the throngs that gather at Floridita’s, Fidel’s or Olive before noon every Saturday and Sunday. Like any good brunch destination, El Matador serves eggs any way you want them, but be sure to add some bacon or chorizo to your order: you’re not making the most of what El Matador has to offer if you order vegetarian."

"For Wellingtonians, brunch is something of a weekly tradition, and even among the go-to destinations (Fidel’s, Floridita’s), Olive stands out. It’s the perfect spot for a leisurely catch up with a friend over eggs-any-which-way and coffee. You can sit in the window if you’re in the mood to people-watch, or make the most of the sunshine in the secluded courtyard outside."
