Food establishment in Wellington

“Love the sweet and sour pork here - the picese are crispy while soaked in the glaze. Chips are just rightly crisp outside and soft inside. They know how to manage expectations and give wait times that vary with the waiting line (15 minutes for me vs 20 minutes for the customer 2 orders after)”

“This cafe is by the pool and is really lovely. The food is all delicious, and the staff are friendly. Surrounded by bushes, it has a really pleasant atmosphere. We'll definitely be back again!”

“Yummiest “hot” Leek & Potato soup with lovely crispy fresh grainy toast on a cold Welly day. Their cabinet food looks great too. Nice spacious cafe at the top of Early Settlers. Recommmend!”

“A hidden gem in Churton Park! I stopped in at Simmer Café and was seriously impressed. I had a mocha and a cheese scone, and both were outstanding. The mocha was rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced — not too sweet, not too bitter. The cheese scone was fresh, warm, and full of flavour — one of the best I’ve had in Wellington. The staff were welcoming and the café had a great local atmosphere — clean, relaxed, and clearly a favourite with regulars. I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended if you’re in the area!”

“The owner is amazing. Always makes the customers feel so welcome. Best pub in Tawa.”

“My favourite coffee shop when I come to Wellington. The service is always great and their coffee is excellent. Look for their other location near The Reserve Bank of NZ of the Terrace. You can also buy their roasted coffee.”

“Always go here its a great wee shop.”

“QT Wellington is a fantastic stay. The service is warm and genuinely friendly, especially the team at the restaurant, which makes you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The location couldn’t be better — just across from Te Papa museum and right in the heart of Wellington’s vibrant waterfront. I also loved the artsy atmosphere throughout the hotel, from the lobby, the bar to the rooms, which gives the place so much character. A great choice if you want both comfort and a creative vibe.”

“The barista .. Athina k makes THE BEST coffees in Kilbirnie. Awesome service, great food and delish coffees! Highly recommend”

“Went to watch the AB France game here last night . Great bar, good atmosphere, friendly staff and a nice platter to watch the game , would recommend”

“Coffee is A++ and I’m a coffee snob, was nice to finish a good coffee. I had chicken wings, while they’re were a tad oily they were still tasty and a decent serving! Had a chips on the side and that was also a decent serving and were very tasty, bonus points for not having dry wings. Partner had the chicken burger which he really enjoyed. Overall a really nice experience, the lady who served us was super polite and had fab hospo skills - very welcoming. Fire was also on so we were toasty warm. We will back back in the summer ☀️”

“The dosa was absolutely delicious, really tasty and well made. Food quality is excellent and I’d definitely come back for the taste alone. The only downside was the cleanliness, the floor and tables were sticky, which took away from the overall experience. If they improve this, it would be a perfect spot.”

“As a regular customer for the last 5 years, I can confidently say that I love all meals on the menu.”

“Delicious gluten free Korean street food goodness All of this was great, amazing fries too. Almost the whole menu is gluten free and can be made safe for coeliacs. We had the popcorn chicken, popcorn cauliflower, deep fried brie and fries, and had no gluten reactions at all”

“Great place, we stopped on our way through Wellington to play a game of pool and have a jug. Great prices and friendly staff highly recommend!”

“Great café! Friendly staff, delicious food and drinks, great relaxing vibe. Cafe Mamba is definitely one of my go-to spots.”

“Super clean and well organised with a really impressive play area. The entrance fee is expensive but worth it in my opinion. There are even healthy menu items at the canteen, which is unusual at other indoor play areas. A great rainy day trip!”

“Quite place with great views of the world walking by.”

“This is the BEST duck I ever had in my life, I’m a roasted duck searcher everytime I’m dining out from home and my father is a Chinese chef too, the chef in this place remember me him so much. There are seats to eat in and he does also massive take aways, the price is cheap compared to the portions. Really tasty meals and we stayed three days in Wellington going there at least once a day to eat his food. Super suggested! P.s. He may not super chatty like other restaurant owners but you can tell how much passion and love he put in what he does. He knows what to do if you have special request! Give it a try ✨”

“Really good chicken and felafel kebab. It wasn't overloaded with soggy lettuce and carrot like a lot of kebab places tend to do. Service was fast and friendly. Atmosphere was typical of a foodcourt.”

“Perfect aro chips, crumb fish, batter fish, mussels, pineapple fritter, etc. on Sat arvo. Oldskool kiwi milkshakes in a giraffe cup.”

“Absolutely delicious food, ingredients are fresh and yummy. The japchae is delicious and vegitarian. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Amazing service. Thank you so much this will be a new regular for us ☺️☺️”

“Amazing service, food came out almost instantly. It was all delicious and very generous proportions. We just stopped in randomly on our way back down cuba Street and couldn't have been happier.”

“Crumbed fish & 1/2 scoop of chips, my standard order. This photo is a Fish burger, 1/2 scoop chips & a Spring roll. Very tasty food. Friendly, family run business, lovely service. Great neighbourhood chippy.”

“I would say this is the best fish n chip shop i have been to for a while. When I visit Wellington, this is a place I must visit and order from the wide range menu, and always know it will taste wonderful. Staff are always friendly when I have visited and are always polite as well. Would highly recommend this place to anyone and suggest it as a place you must visit for some delicious food whatever you may order. I have to add this little note too there burgers are very nice and filling.”

“Jugnus’s Little India offers an authentic taste of India right on our doorstep. Their butter chicken is a sublime journey of flavors, and the street food options transport you straight to the bustling lanes of Delhi. For genuine Indian cuisine that tickles the taste buds, this is the place to be! Parking is easy to find and pay attention on the location, it is at the end of the motel’s driveway. Then the great smell will lead you to their door.”

“Friendly service and delicious food. We took our kids (4 & 6) and they enjoyed the atmosphere and the options on the kids menu (which included a ice cream with every meal)”

“Excellent food and service - a place I would return to on next trip to NZ”

“We had our wedding reception here and it was AMAZING! The functions manager, Chyanne has been amazing during the early planning, to figuring out the last minute details. They been very accommodating for guests who had dietary/allergies, and the staff that night were fantastic for making sure our reception was amazing! Would recommend and will come again for outings ”

“I’ve been here twice now, this restaurant is lovely. Amazing food, Atmosphere and service!! one of my favourite restaurants now.”
