Urban Pantry on the lawns must be the best spot for lunch in Manuka.

And it’s hard to beat the salads as a top lunch choice.

Share a couple for variety (and it’s more fun).

The Coconut Poached Chicken $23  with compressed melon, mint yogurt, San Daniele prosciutto is really lovely with an interesting creamy coconut flavour that works well with the prosciutto and different melons.

The Lamb Backstrap $23 is also a good choice with vegetable a la grecque, goats cheese, port raisins, vincotto reduction.

However, it’s still hard to beat the Grilled Haloumi Salad as well.

So if choosing two perhaps the Grilled Haloumi and Coconut Chicken Salads stand out as the best..but there’s still a Prawn and a Calamari Salad to try..
