Restaurants in New Zealand

“I love their roast, it’s a must-visit spot on the coast. I’m from the shore and would happily drive there just for a roast. The pricing is fair, and the meat and vegetables are of high quality. 5 stars :)”

“Great food and restaurant layout, and open Mondays, thank goodness. Tasty food, we did the "Fratelli Feast" (Mondays and Tuesdays) deal with an entrée to share, a main and dessert of your choice. Added extra sides of "Brussels sprouts" and "Garlic and truffle oil fries", they were delicious. Nice wine and lemonchello too. There are specials, we saw the pan fried fish which looked very good. The staff were friendly and attentive, we will come back again.”

“Friendly staff, fair prices. I loved the variety of crepes. I'd recommend the kiwi or chocolate one. It's also cool how you can watch them make it. I'll be coming here again ❤️”

“Just had the most amazing 3 course meal featuring Sri Lankan Hoppers. Incredible food, really lovely service and got to see the hoppers being made by the chef. The flavours were outstanding, highly recommend eating at the T Lounge by Dilmah. Keep an eye out for their specialties Thursday and Friday nights.”

“My friend and I came in to have something to eat and chat. We were met with amazing service, so kind and caring when ordering our food. We weren't too hungry so we shared a mixed meat on chips and they brought it out with an extra plate for us to share. The meat on chips was the most delicious one we've had yet. So filling yet refreshing at the same time. We couldn't stop talking about how amazing the meal was. New favourite food place in wellington 5 stars!”

“Best burger I've had in a long time! Can't recommend this place enough. I got the chicken burger and the chicken was so juicy, perfectly coated, with fresh salads. The chips came with this sauce that was sooooo good too. Everything was perfect and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. Recommend giving this place a try!”

“great concept! cool fish and delicious pizza”

“MariLuca was perfect for our family group of 5 people. We were all really happy with our meals. My mushroom risotto was delicious with a perfect mushroom - rice ratio. Fir dessert, the almond orange cake was delicious. The stand-out feature was the exceptional, welcoming service. Highly recommend.”

“I'm always a fan of going to restaurants located slightly outside the central city area. I tend to feel a sense of community and not to mention supporting local business. Prime spot in Brooklyn, and you won't miss it. To top it off, friendly service always helps. I felt the layout creates a different vibe through the restaurant, a nice touch. My personal favourite on the night was the prawn toasts, yummm and the chef's dessert of the night.”

“A lovely place with great service - they kept filling water and attending to every table with friendly service. I was there after lunchtime but it was still pretty busy. I had the avo & halloumi on toast, and the sourdough was to die for!!! Honestly, it was one of the best breads I have ever had, no joke. I asked if they sold it separately - sadly, no. I would have bought some. :) But I inhaled the meal and it was great. Just the right size too. Loved it! Would be back. And would find some meal that has that awesome bread, yum!!”

“Fabulous tasty food and plenty of it. 5 people and we shared all the food and it was great. Served on lovely plates and looked and tasted amazing. The staff did a great job of explaining the menu to us and what each dish came with and entailed. We had to attend an event and the food came in great time. The cocktails were also great and the wine list was good. only issue was they didn't sell bubbles by the glass so we just had to buy a bottle and that was superb. We didn't have room for any dessert which was a shame as they sounded amazing. we will be back”

“Absolutely amazing Iskendar. The Syrian Shawarma is also very tasty. Great restaurant for lovers of Mediterranean cuisine!”

“Kisa in Wellington was an absolute delight — every dish felt fresh, light, and wonderfully authentic. The menu offered a perfect mix of vibrant veggies and flavorful meats, made for sharing and savoring. The atmosphere had that rare warmth that makes you want to stay just a little longer, and the service was attentive, genuine, and kind. Perfect for a long lunch or an easygoing dinner — highly recommend.”

“Nice breakfast/lunch choices, the baked egg with chorizo was awesome, same for the grilled halloumi. Go sit in the back near the stage/window, such a lovely warm vibe created by the wallpaper, admire the bar wall. Big choice of Whiskey and Bourbons, I counted 97 different ones including some nice Japanese whiskeys. If you like Gin try the Monkey47. Also interesting original cocktails”

“amazing food! Beef is melt in your mouth. Roti is good. Kampung nasi goreng is large portion and nice. Friendly staff and chef. Anytime if you don’t know what to eat , you can come here!”

“Very nice fried chicken. Definitely recommend it.”

“The best doner kebabs in NZ! Authentic Turkish product & great service, as well as tasting fantastic. Not the cheapest around but I'll always recommend Zara's to friends”

“Quick service. Yummy flavours. Glad with my choice of dinner. Very filling. The chips were great”

“The best food in wainui, and my personal favorite sushi place”

“Amazing experience for our Valentine's Day date! The set menu was excellent value and a stunning range of flavours. Good service and cozy atmosphere. Our only minor constructive feedback is we weren't aware of the set menu until we arrived. It wasn't an issue for us, however being proactively informed beforehand would have been appreciated :-). Thanks for an excellent meal - we'll be back!”

“A genuine gem of a restaurant, serving some of the nicest Vietnamese food. Seats tend to be readily available, but very busy for takeaway. Service was super friendly and engaging. Highly recommended.”

“The soy latte in our keepcup was exceptional. We had hoped to try the famous cheesecake, but unfortunately, it was already sold out by 1 pm. We'll have to give it a try next time we visit.”

“Highly recommended for everyone in the family. A beautiful free (donations are welcome) museum, filled with far more aircrafts than we initially expected. Lots to read and discover, displays were well put together and the pacing through the exhibits is perfect. If you need a break, there is a simple cafe, a lovely little gift shop and peaceful grounds. Wish we had more time to explore this past visit. We will have to set aside more time the next visit!”

“Absolutely delightful atmosphere with a video showing floral landscapes and tranquil music. Cappuccino good. Friendly staff. As a follower of Jesus, I felt very comfortable here. 4:44 pm on September 19 2025”

“Cosy cafe with Akaroa King Salmon sushi and Sashimi available. King Salmon Shop do not have any eating place inside the supermarket. Other Japanese favorite street food available eg unagi , karaage chicken, tempura prawns, curry chicken etc”

“Nice cafe indoor and out. The staff are friendly the service is amazing, the pie and coffee was delicious.”

“I recently dined at Chichi Kitchen in New Zealand, and it was truly one of the best meals I've had this year. The culinary experience was exceptional, with each dish meticulously crafted using fresh, high-quality ingredients that showcased an expert balance of flavours. The presentation of the food was stunning, making each plate a visual delight as well as a gastronomic one. From the first bite to the last, every dish was a testament to the chef's skill and creativity. The service was outstanding, with attentive and friendly staff who made the experience even more enjoyable. They were knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations. The atmosphere at Chichi Kitchen is warm and inviting, creating a perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying a night out, Chichi Kitchen delivers on all fronts. I can't recommend Chichi Kitchen highly enough—it's a must-visit for anyone seeking exceptional cuisine in New Zealand.”

“Here for our Team Christmas Lunch - place was busy and due to the size of our group we had to pre order our dishes. Food came out in good time and everyone enjoyed their meals. Definitely a good choice coming and would come again.”

“After hearing about this place from friends and seeing the posts online, my partner and i decided we would give it a go. Wow, the staff were lovely, the food was incredible and the vibe was great. They have lots of options to cater to gluten free and dairy free and they aren’t half assing it either, both the tacos and the chicken i had tasted the same as my partners regular non gluten and dairy free food. Spot on guys, we will absolutely be returning!”
