Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in New Zealand

“The freshest and best sushi to go, in the area.”

“Good experience picking your own strawberries, we were told there was a large group the day before so we would really have to look for strawberries and mentioned their other branch just down the road, we ended up staying and we found some good juicy red ones. It wasnt busy when we got there but got abit busy when we left. Best to go when they open, and also try the ice creams next door. Overall awesome experience. Oh and you can also eat as you pick lol”

“Really lovely club. Sheltered outdoor seating, beautiful native park like gardens.”

“Have been to a few live music events here. Great atmosphere and staff are friendly. Lots of options re beverages and meals. The mural wall is a highlight and always enjoy our time”

“My aunty and her sisters came here for dinner last night. She asked me to write a review bc she's not on Social Media. It was quiet but my aunt liked that bc they could chat. The lady who served us was lovely. She always let us know what was happening w our food. Loved her service! The kai was "smashing" so one of my aunts said. That one had the burger chicken. My aunt, Luana, thought the caramized steak was beautiful, she almost licked the plate and the salad was crispy and delicious. We were so full, we brought our puddings home. We had chocolate ice cream parfait w golden kiwi. Beautiful! We will definitely be back again, compliments to the chef and the lovely waitress!”

“Great atmosphere and pretty good food too.”

“Ordered the platter for two, plenty of food, fast service, good eating”

“Great location, the were able to accommodate all 30 of us, and the space worked really well for 13 kids in our group! Everyone enjoyed the food, my wife and I went for the schnitzel which was a decent size, and came paired with really nice coleslaw salad an sauce. I had the chance my son's fried chicken which was delicious! there was a lot going on for a Sunday, as they had salsa dancing and the music was LOUD! we didn't mind, but some in our group made a comment as they couldn't hear each other. I'd say it's a great place with very nice atmosphere, and they have great food and fantastic service, will definitely come again.”

“We opted for a range of share plates in lieu of mains - the pull-apart garlic loaf, pork belly bites, bacon wrapped scallops and calamari. Four plates was enough to fill two of us up, and the food was AMAZING - just good food well prepared and executed. I stepped out to take a phone call and by the time I came back, our food had arrived. The staff were awesome - personable, attentive, authentic and helpful. Kate in particular put us right at ease and was the consummate host. A nice, quiet table, great music not too loud to preclude conversation, and staff that seem like they actually want to be here dealing with you... that was the point of difference! Highly recommended.”

“We had the festive high tea and the food and service was excellent. Our server especially was delightful and very knowledgeable about the teas.”

“My partner and I recently celebrated her birthday here, and we had an absolute fantastic experience. The wait staff were delightful to deal with, and the food was delicious, while being rather different (being Asian fusion food) yet incredibly clever. The spice levels in each dish were perfectly balanced, which is one of the several reasons why I consider this worthy of 5 stars. I had the salmon entree, which was perfectly cooked and tasty salmon, with one nice dollop of beetroot reduction, and one of a lemon/citrus reduction, which paired nicely. The main was the tandoori charcoal chicken which was simply fantastic. The spice on this was outstanding, with a little bit of heat, which I found really kicked it up a notch. The charcoal chicken was perfect to me, ever so slightly crisp on the outside as you would expect, but perfectly cooked and juicy on the inside. The sauce was an excellent pairing too, as was the wasabi mashed potato, even though I am not a fan of mashed potato. The addition of the cardamon seeds was simply genius, and added a little something to it that was incredibly enjoyable. As for desert, I sadly forgot to take a photo, but it was the caremalised charred pineapple, which was also delicious. I especially enjoyed the sticky salted butter sauce on the side, which also had a small touch of cardamon to really add to the dish. It was a desert that you would never really see elsewhere as it truly embodied the fusion style, and considering how yummy it was, that's a bit of a shame! I love different and interesting deserts, and this was a prime example of that. Aside from that, the decor had a very nice 1920's feel to it, with some modern twists, to make the room cosy yet stylish. The wine selection was also really well chosen too. All in all I would very much recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting something slightly different yet special”

“This was a really good choice to meet up with friends for drinks before a show. Food is good with nice sized portions. A nice selection of beers, wines and ciders. Enough space to be comfortable and neat, clean bathrooms are always a plus.”

“First visit to New Zealand 2024 fell in love with this bar...will be back early May 2025 can't wait!!!!”

“Celebrated our end of year event for work - Great venue off the side of the main pub. Cool seperate bar. Great food and amazing service. The staff were always willing to answer questions and help when required. Would recommend.”

“We went in for the first time today with a group of 6. The good humoured Maîre d’ was able to accommodate our group and we all had the burger special. The seating was comfortable and the food was sooo good. The staff are really jovial and friendly with a dash of cheekiness which we loved. We shall be back!”

“We were served by Ash who provided top notch 5 star service. She made sure our drink and meal orders were taken promptly and all served at the right time. The meals were great. Ash settled our bill at the end accurately to our satisfaction so we were very happy with our experience at Khandallah Trading company. The place is highly recommend.”

“Was in Wellington recently for work. This was our place for breakfast, the food was consistently excellent (especially the eggs benedict without spinach), the coffee was superb and the service excellent. The house manager in the morning (from England) super friendly and the wait staff lovely too. Thank you”

“Our waiter was awesome! Amazing Service thank you! Food came out fast, we tried the WBOP meal. Solid burger great flavour, fresh ingredients and enjoyed the tots on the side as a change from fries, dipping sauce was tasty. Overall a great night out, worth the trip from the Hutt Valley”

“Busy cafe, good food and service”

“Lovely coffee with a calm atmosphere and plenty of seating”

“Great dinner out for my parents 50th wedding anniversary. Everyone really enjoyed it, and the service was excellent”

“Oh wow, I’ve couldn’t asked for more… The food blew my expectations with a mix of both gourmet and the pub grub that comforts the belly. Ordering was a breeze (thanks Rosie!!) the food arrived faster than my typical “fast food” visit, and the atmosphere at the quiz was like I was playing The Chase with Bradley Walsh. I’m making this my regular - Thanks Realm Team!”

“Beautiful pub with a good selection of beer and wine. Some specific NZ branded beer as well. I liked the ambience, the staff were very friendly and greeted with a smile. I will definitely recommend this place. Gorgeous wait staff as well ;) The portion of snack is perfect for a person as well.”

“Love this place, it is most definitely THE BEST address in Island Bay ! Staff is so friendly and lovely, the garden bar is a really cool spot to hang out on a nice day (and dog friendly !) and the gorilla burgers are really yummy. Fantastic experience, I will absolutely be back and highly recommend !”

“Stopped here recently for a Quick brunch on a Saturday morning and I was blown away for more than one reason - courteous staff, quick service, great indoor and outdoor ambience and most importantly tasty food. Walked in- immediately greeted and seated. Ordered sourdough bread with spicy scrambled eggs and coffee. Initial thoughts - pricey. But when the order came through, I must admit it was worth every penny. It was a visual treat and tasted amazing. A humble dish elevated to a whole new level and generous portions. Needless to say - I literally cleaned up my plate. Will definitely come back. Highly recommend this place.”

“Great rooftop bar on Lambton Quay (upstairs) We went for lunch, sat out on the balcony and ordered the Korean fried chicken, skin on fries and club sandwiches. The service was fast and friendly, the food was delicious and the balcony had a great view of Lambton Quay.”

“I recently visited Cafe Figg with my family and had an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a charming ambiance. The croissant was flaky and buttery, the filo was perfectly crisp, the panini was filled with flavorful ingredients, and the corn fritters were a delicious twist on a classic dish. Each item was prepared with care and attention to detail. The service was exceptional, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable dining experience. I would highly recommend Cafe Figg to anyone looking for delicious food and top-notch service. Five stars all around!”

“We have been to this cafe so many times. I love the outdoors, it has nice area outside where you can sit and enjoy your drinks and meals. I always feel this place is a bit pricey but still like the vibe of the cafe. Service is okay, there are times when we have to request staff to clean table. Other than that staff are always polite and helpful. I enjoy their milkshakes, coffees are okay.”

“Had the 8-course tasting dinner with wine pairing and it was such a great experience. Every dish was packed with flavour and looked amazing on the plate — you could tell a lot of thought went into the menu. Some combinations really surprised me, like the beetroot carpaccio with macadamia crusted feta, and the smoked eel with caviar — so good! The wines were perfectly matched to each course, starting with a crisp Champagne and ending with a bold Pinotage. It really brought out the flavours of the food. Service was spot on — the team were friendly, easy to talk to, and kept the evening feeling relaxed but still special. We never felt rushed, and everything flowed nicely from one course to the next. Left feeling full, happy, and impressed. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone who enjoys great food, wine, and a memorable night out.”

“Normally stopping for a cup of coffee here but today I tried their meal. Since I eat keto, I ordered scrambled eggs, bacon and mushrooms without toast for $20(May 2022) Happy with the amount of food. Great service, friendly staff.”
