Maranui Café is a café on the first floor of Lyall Parade, above the Maranui Surf Life Saving Club at Lyall Bay in Wellington. Its eclectic design and its view over the beach, where surfers ride the waves, are part of its character.
The café serves breakfast and lunch, with hearty Kiwi meals, vegan dishes, kiddie kai and freshly prepared cabinet food, plus local craft beers and boutique wines. Breakfast and lunch run until 2:30pm on weekdays and until 3pm at weekends, and it is open on most public holidays from 8am to 4pm. It is closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. Its suburb is Harbour View, Lower Hutt, but the street and the website both place the café at Lyall Bay. Our pick in Lyall Bay for a coffee with a view of the surf.
