Dine in dinner in Wellington

“This is the best Sushi place in Pōneke! Amazing fresh options. If not made, you can request an 8pc of many types, something for everyone. Katsu bowl is tasty, large, very fresh, and great value (especially compared to competitors). They offer $10 off for every 10 stamps on a card (1 stamp= $10) so if you go frequently it is basically 10% off. Staff are extremely helpful, kind, and friendly. Would definitely recommend if you want to support a local business while getting amazinh service and a great deal for yourself too!”

“Wow wow wow. A truly transcendent dining experience, Ortega Fish Shack is a shining exemplar of culinary excellence, rivaling our beloved Chef's Table. Every aspect of our visit was nothing short of extraordinary. The service was impeccable, the food sublime. The oysters were a revelation, the steak cooked to perfection. Honestly, it's a testament to the power of exceptional cuisine to uplift and inspire.”

“We had a lovely time dining at Rita. The service was very friendly, professional, and attentive. The restaurant is set in a cute narrow building and they make good use of the space. The design is minimalist. We enjoyed all our dishes. Portion sizes are on the smaller side, but you’re not coming here for quantity. It’s about the quality and pairing of the ingredients. You’ll still leave feeling full. Would easily recommend to anyone looking for something new and different. Note the menu changes regularly, I think even daily. Whatever is on the menu that day is what you’ll get. Great if you struggle to make decisions!”

“WOW! I love this little gem, Baos are amazing, the Panda dumplings are some of the best dumplings i’ve ever had and always served with a smile!”

“Ordered two beef salads and two Pad Thai’s - best Pad Thai in Wellington- this is honestly the best takeaway place in Johnsonville- love all their meals!”

“We tried this place a few weeks ago whilst travelling down to the South Island. We spent the next three weeks of our trip looking for another place with as good food and friendliness and couldn’t find it, so we just had to come back on our way driving to Auckland. Everything is so fresh and such care is taken to keep the restaurant clean and inviting. Thank you Bimi sushi!!”

“Beautiful villa restaurant tucked in between two high rise buildings. Came for WoW and absolutely loved the service, the staff were interesting in talking to us and very friendly. The food was exceptional - one of us had the set menu for WoW and two ordered off the menu (love that option).”

“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!”

“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.”

“It was an excellent culinary experience. The owner was extremely welcoming. The Indian food as well as the lamb was amazing. I highly recommend stopping by. The menu was very diverse, so, if you have a group that has difficulty finding a restaurant, this may be the place for you. The interior was nice and kept clean.”

“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!!”

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

“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!”

“Enjoyed the amazing service and food. Was served by the young fella, was the first time trying greek cuisine, beautiful flavours. Nice location, easy to find.”

“Very tasty food in a low key setting. One of the nicest chicken kormas I have ever had. Others in the group thoroughly enjoyed their balti dishes. Attentive yet respectful service. A hidden gem in Miramar!”

“My family took me there for my 84th birthday - - 10 of us , my whole family in Wellington and had a beautiful meal, lovely atmosphere +++ and a really lovely evening. Thank you so much”

“Very friendly people, great customer service, amazing varied range of creative pizzas, and good selection of sides and desserts. They were the only place open on christmas day evening so very thankful!”

“Lovely place for date night !! We did the "first table" deal and worked great for us. We tried quite a few items of the menu and had great savings. I would absolutely recommend the fish crudo, the Rib eye and the truffle gnocchi. I know is a meat restaurant, but let me say the gnocchi was one of the best I've had; the onion soubise was espectacular, airy and tasty. In general the sides were ok, Caesar salad was good AND the puré as well, would probably not order the mushrooms again. Desserts were good, specially the tiramisú. Would've appreciated a chocolate option as well... The service by the two french ladies was perfect! Attentive and professional. Would recommend !”

“New to Wellington and still looking for that nice little gem.. and I think we have found it. Great service, Tasty well presented cocktails, food is. Beautiful and tasty. Great place will be back. Love this place. Best chilli infused tequila. If you like a good quality margarita try the Californian Reaper !”

“First time trying Ara Sushi, it's the best sushi I've had in the Wellington area and has lots of tasty vegan options. Especially enjoyed the inari sushi with seaweed salad.”

“This is by far the best sushi on the Kapiti Coast . Fresh, clean, well priced, and so so flavoursome. It was such a rare delight to find this sushi place with such a high standard of quality best of all it’s locally owned and operated.”

“Sandwiches are good amd delicious! Always crowded, sometimes can't hear what my friends says, but it was okay because food and coffee here are the BEST. Come in the morning or late afternoon on spring or autumn. Magical.”

“Great vegan indian meal in Wellington! The service was amazing and the lunch deal is just great value for money. I followed the advice of the waiter and ordered Kadai Soya and it was just amazing. The vegan roti could be improved but still tasty. There are some construction works outside but didn't really bother during the meal. Highly recommend it!”

“We had huge, delicious portions of pastas here. There’s a live pianist as well that created a lovely ambience as we enjoyed our meal.”

“Delicious dinner! Came in without reservation and sat at the bar. We ordered the arancini, mushroom ragu, gnocchis and pancetta pizza, everything was delicious, would definitely have it again. The atmosphere is vibey and the service is really nice.”

“We visited this café twice based on a personal recommendation, and we were blown away. The decor is super fancy, rustic, and vintage. The service is outstanding and very attentive. The café is irresistibly delicious, and breakfast was incredibly tasty. There are also vegan options available. It’s a beautiful location filled with lovely details.”

“Found this place near our air bnb. I was so surprised to see its very authentic! They even had agua de horchata which you don’t see much around in restaurants this far from Mexico. The amount of food that comes in a plate is very fair for the price and the flavours are a hit! And the service was more than excellent. Every single person there is welcoming, nice and friendly. I wish I lived here so I could come more often.”
