Governor's Cafe is an iconic Dunedin café at 438 George Street in the city centre, open since 1977. It serves simple kiwi food cooked fresh, with freshly baked snacks, generous meals, pancakes, Eggs Benedict and toasties. The menu has options for vegans, gluten-free diners and meat-eaters, and the café has a children's playroom and upstairs seating. Gift cards are available online.
Diners say the kids' play space is a reason to come, and praise the salmon Eggs Benedict and the chocolate pancakes. One reviewer says the service is easy when ordering off the menu, and another says the coffee and toasties were very good.
