Peckish Jr. Cafe & Restaurant

Peckish Jr Cafe and Restaurant brings a bright rhythm to Te Aro, Wellington, serving breakfast and brunch with a playful streak of Asian influence.

Pan-Asian accents mingle with classic comforts, from the warmth of pho to the nostalgia of fish and chips, while a crisp banh mi takes its place alongside eggs on toast. Mornings unfold with big breakfasts on sourdough or crispy rosti, eggs Benedict for a purist’s start, or a gentler lift in cocoa orange cardamom porridge and house granola with seasonal fruits and Greek yoghurt.

Easygoing, flavour-led and thoughtfully composed, the menu shines with standout dishes like a bulgogi beef sandwich layered with melted cheese and kimchi, hailed as fine-dining calibre back in Korea. Comfort runs deep across the savoury line-up, from buttermilk chicken katsu to panko-crusted fish with chips and salad, while a lemongrass chicken noodle salad adds a fresh, zesty lift.

Sweet tooths can drift to Shibuya brick toast with seasonal fresh fruit, and espresso is dialled in while matcha appears in multiple variations.

Settle in at Peckish Jr Cafe for a lingering brunch or swing by for a swift, satisfying bite. When cravings call, follow the nose and get a little Peckish!
