Whether catching up for brunch or dining at night, Ashburton locals flock to Mr Burton on High Street for fare with flair. With floor to ceiling front windows offering a wide vista of the world outside, guests can people watch while relaxing in a cool, chilled out vibe of worn brick, polished wood and hanging globes. On warmer days, dine alfresco in a sunny, north-facing garden courtyard, while contemplating a menu brimming with Mod Oz classics given a Mediterranean twist, such as brunch plates like corn and halloumi fritters with bacon, egg, avocado and tomato salsa. Those dining later may be tempted by cashew egg on a super-green salad with pumpkin, pepitas, beetroot hummus, kale, quinoa and mint yoghurt dressing or delve into whole flounder served with dill, caper and wine butter sauce.
