Simply The Best lives up to its name, all food is freshly made on the premises from scratch, daily.
The re-styled ambience matches the high quality homemade food.
For all their cabinet food and sandwiches (toasted or fresh), they use ham on the bone – no processed meats; all homemade dressings are their own creations, not out of a jar.
The gorgeous dressing on their shrimp cocktails has quickly made a name for itself, as have the thickly-filled toasted sandwiches (3 slices of bread & brimming with your fave fillings like: ham, egg, pineapple, cheese, mushroom, creamed corn, bacon, steak, tomato).

And check out the unique old-school style fresh sandwich fillings:
- lamb & mint
- roast pork & apple sauce
- cream cheese, date & walnut
- salmon & cucumber

Plus big rolled-up crepes filled with juicy goodness, like chicken & mushroom.
Also on offer are a range of delicious:
- Salads,
- Soups (think: chicken noodle, pea & ham, pumpkin…),
- and even classic asparagus rolls!

Simply the Best cafe will offer fully cooked meals from early 2012: Big breakfasts; burgers, fries, wedges and the like.

Come and enjoy a relaxed Ambience, with funky coffee-bean tables, older-style 70′s background music, and its delicious warm colour scheme.

Simply The Best is located two shops along from the Rydges hotel on Featherston St, and serves ‘Grinders Coffee’: the much-loved Australian top-seller. (Simply the Best is the only eating establishment selling Grinders in Wellington – so come check it out!)
