Best restaurant in Wellington

“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.”

“Since coming to the region for work and finding this place I come for breakfast every morning. Best cafe I’ve found in Hastings! food, coffee and service is excellent”

“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”

“The cafe is casual and relaxed and the staff are really friendly. Food is really good - there is a lot of choice and ability to customise your meal. And the bonus of it being next to Bunnings is there is plenty of parking.”

“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”

“Alicia made my visit extra special with her bubbly & friendly personality! The food was amazing & so were the margaritas (which I was blessed to be the first to try Alicia’s Magaritas!)”

“I had an amazing experience with this hotel. The staff went above and beyond to help me even after I had checked out, they kindly assisted me with sending my forgotten belongings to Auckland. Their kindness, patience, and professionalism truly touched me. The location is convenient, the rooms are clean and cozy, and the service is exceptional. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Wellington. Thank you so much again and you deserve all the best!”

“Bartenders Jacob and Tom absolute vibes I love them so much. KAMPAI”

“It was a quick and simple Crepe but just gloriously covered in chocolate to a reasonable degree but I enjoyed watching them make it, they were swift but careful, and it was delicious to eat.”

“Food was delicious and my adult milkshake was divine. Gentlemen who served us was lovely and helpful . We went in the afternoon when it was quieter.”

“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!”

“Easy way to order and pay when you come in, eat in or takeaway… good prices - hubby ordered pizza and I had a lamb kebab… both with sides of fries…DEVINE… fresh, flavoursome and we hope to go back for another meal before we head back to Auckland… bonus of amazing, friendly staff! Thanks guys xxx”

“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.”

“Friendly ladies in here. Battered oysters were delicious. My preference would be thinner batter but ain't complaining, they were respected.”

“Love this place, we always get the lemon chicken and a combination fried rice at least, but have also loved the spicy chicken, green beans, and the spicy eggplant.”

“Absolutely delicious stir fries and noodle dishes made with love. The pan-fried dumplings are so plump and juicy, they'll have you hooked!”

“Wow!! I ordered a chicken fillet burger with extra bacon and a curry roll and I am amazed! It was super delicious and I ordered it as a late night snack to eat when I got hungry, but I instantly demolished the burger as soon as I arrived home. I have never had such a great burger that wasn't from WOAP. Great job!!”

“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.”

“Went here to get a chinese meal a few weeks ago. I ordered the roast pork wonton noodle soup, which tasted absolutely amazing! Very impressive quality of meat and wontons, making the dish great value for money. I have been to Fang's many times for both fish and chips as well as Chinese and never disappoints.”

“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.”

“This is a lovely place where to sit, enjoy a cuppa, and even get some work done. I love their modest but delicious GF options and their music selection is on point. Running into a friendly 4 legged patron from time to time is bonus that brings extra joy to my day.”

“We had a wonderful meal at Istana Malaysia in Wellington. We ordered the beef rendang, nasi goreng, and lamb murtabak, and every dish was delicious—flavorful, well-cooked, and authentic. The owner was also incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend this place for great Malaysian food and warm hospitality!”

“Cosy cafe in the heart of Lambton quay. Tried a rice noodle chicken dish and it was amazing. Would highly recommend.”

“OMG what a delicious dinner! So flavourful and fresh: charred cabbage, crispy potatoes and tomato, a fish main , lamb with onions. Rice and roti to match. Just YUM! Lovely welcoming service, nice explanation on what to choose in a funky venue. Perfect for any night of the week. I wish I lived here for more visits! Thankyou for a fabulous meal.”

“We visited Sea Salt for lunch today, the meals were excellent, served by a charming waitress. The crispy calimari was one of the best I have enjoyed, just the right smount of pepper, and perfectly cooked. Brilliant coffee, served hot too.”

“If you become a member there you can get a discount on food and drink. Atmosphere was pretty chill when i went down but they do usually always have something going on weather it be a band or karaoke etc. Food was on point I had the ribeye steak with all the sides, staff were lovely. Wheelchair accessible kid friendly, they have a small timezone area out in the atrium. Be AWARE you need to be a member or with a member to drink alcohol there but anybody from the public can eat food there. Always a great go to when I need a steak meal”

“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!”
