Beyond all the celebrations, buttered hot cross buns and seemingly endless
amounts of chocolate, it’s funny how Easter often provides us with an abrupt
reminder of just how fast the year is passing us by.
Always welcomed with opened arms, the Easter long weekend is also a great
time to take in the real first break of the year and rejuvenate. So with that in
mind, we’ve put together a list of cafes, bars and restaurants that are all trading
over the holiday. Whether it’s somewhere new you’ve been meaning to try
out, or simply an old favourite you’re hoping to drop into, this list should keep
anyone who’s still in town satisfied.
