We went for the trust the chef menu but it is no longer available. However, the meals we did have were tasty and nice portions despite being sharing plates. We ordered 2 entrees and a main between 2 and were full!
Incredible service and delicious food! All of the staff (especially the woman on the front till) were incredibly energetic, attentive, smiley and friendly. The food here is absolutely phenomenal - in particular, the waffles. For $25, the waffles were a great portion size, presented beautifully and was overall a 10/10 meal. It was like a churro in waffle form - super soft and chewy but still very light with that classic exterior cinnamon sugar crusted crisp that churros have. The plum mascarpone toned down the sweetness, the strawberries were a great addition and the maple syrup was the cherry on top. As I mentioned, the size of the waffles was very generous, and we still managed to finish them all as they were so fluffy and not dense whatsoever. The granola was really delicious and not like many others available in Wellington. Whilst also being presented beautifully, the house-made granola was abundant with chewy oats, sliced nuts, seeds and coconut, and was definitely binded with maple syrup which made it very soft, unlike typical granolas that are crunchy. I really liked this though - definitely one of the best granolas I have ever had. The sweetness was toned down by the greek yoghurt paired nicely with a berry jam, diced nectarine, sliced pear and maple syrup. They also offered milk on a side which was lovely. I did provide feedback to the waitstaff regarding the granola being a very minuscule portion which they very swiftly relayed to the chefs. The staff were very considerate and understanding, and ensured that I left satisfied. Overall, I really enjoyed my time at Egmont St. Eatery and I would highly recommend that everyone tries their waffles. They were potentially the best waffles I have ever consumed in my life. I did find the cafe itself a little bit loud due to the music volume and conversing patrons, but that is more just of a personal preference. Awesome work team. I was very blown away with the hospitality you provided. Keep it up!
I hadn't been to Egmont Eatery for a while and noticed the interior decor and layout had changed which looked amazing. The service was top-notch. I can honestly say that it's one of the best attentive restaurant service that I've ever experienced in Wellington. The waitering staff were friendly, helpful and able to answer all of my questions about the menu and food options, which is how it should be. The food was incredible. We started with the comte (cheese) souffle and focaccia bread, which was very different but amazing. For mains we had the grilled octopus, spiced lamb ribs with a side of asparagus. You could see how much effort had gone into each of these dishes. They were all delicious and the asparagus was perfectly cooked. For dessert we had the poached pear. This was probably our least favourite dish of the night as the pear was quite firm. I was expecting the pear to be a lot softer and easier to cut into and it would've been great if it was accompanied with a yummy caramel/butterscotch sauce. I'll definitely be going back there.
I don’t know why it took me so long to try this place out! Stellar food, strong coffee and outstanding service. We enjoyed the smoked potato hash and the avocado toast. Sorry for no photos, we just inhaled the food as it was so good!! I was also impressed they had a separate GF menu which made reading the menu so much easier! Definitely will be back.
Disinterested service that I dont think could have cared less if we enjoyed our food, drinks or time in the restaurant as they never asked. Incredibly average and ill conceived food bordering on just bad, not one dish was memorable or finished. We spent $260 on dinner for two we left feeling ripped off and very disappointed. Will not be returning and definitely do not recommend this restaurant.
The food was pretty average. I had read lots of good things but it didn't live up to expectations. The Hash Potatoes with thai sausage and cabbage - not very inspiring. Carby but nothing else.
A lovely lunch was enjoyed at Egmont Street Eatery by myself, along with my husband and two of our adult kids. We booked online and were seated immediately by the lovely waitress who informed us of the specials and took our drink orders. Husband and I ordered the fish, Tarakihi (Devine!) Our daughter had a Prawn Poke Bowl and our son the Waffles with Bacon. All of the meals were delicious, the service was exceptional, and we enjoyed the surroundings. I can Highly Recommend Egmont Street Eatery and we look forward to returning soon!
My partner and I had a fantastic dinner at Egmont Street Eatery. The service was beyond amazing and the food was excellent. Did I mention the staff was extremely kind and knowledgeable of the menu too? Two hours of dining experience flew by so quickly, and that’s a testament on how well they paced the food coming to our table. We will definitely be back!
Everything was cooked to perfection at the Egmont Street Eatery. The steak was the best, the fish was soft and tender. The side potatoes, the starter and even complementary fried chickpeas were delicious. Thank you for all your effort, we'll be back when we are in Wellington again. Also, that cocktail was amazing! Well done.
