On Ocean View Road in Oneroa, the main village on Waiheke Island, Spice Cafe & Wine Bar opens at seven every morning and closes at three, so breakfast and lunch are the windows you're working with. The name covers both sides of that: coffee and a cafe plate in the morning, then a glass from the wine list at the same tables as the day warms up. It's a straightforward drop-in spot while you're out on the island, and there's no booking fuss to worry about. Just so you know before you go, breakfast here can take over an hour to arrive and taste horrible, so leave yourself some time up your sleeve.

You'll spot the sandwich board on Ocean View Road in Oneroa before you find the bar itself, because Aperitivo sits down a flight of steps, around a corner at the back of the alley, with a balcony that looks straight out over the water.

Red Crab sits on Ocean View Road above Oneroa Bay, and it's the kind of Thai restaurant you'd build a whole Waiheke day around, with a deck looking out over the water and a menu that draws on Thailand's four regions.
