Carlton Gore Cafe

If Carlton Gore Café had a superpower, it would be the art of sparking happiness.

Chic interiors set the scene for indulgence, where thick-cut brioche French toast arrives Nutella-stuffed and crowned with vanilla mascarpone, seasonal fruit, coulis and maple syrup. For a savoury counterpoint, crispy bacon provides a decadent finishing touch.

The menu celebrates Kiwi classics with lively flair, beginning with the ‘Morning Goodness’ plate of creamy avocado, roasted pumpkin, poached eggs, feta, pumpkin hummus and dukkah, served on sourdough. Free-range eggs also shine; choose grain, sourdough, Turkish or ciabatta toast, with a gluten-free option available.

Lunchtime brings renewed energy with bright flavours, from fluffy omelettes to zesty creations featuring kaffir lime on sourdough. A highlight is the sugar-cured prawns tossed with chilli, bean sprouts, mint and coriander for a refreshing, aromatic finish.

The café is crafted for every craving, even the fussiest diners. For guests fresh off a flight, Carlton Gore Café makes the perfect stop before slipping back into the grind. Merry brunching guaranteed!
