Food establishment in Wellington

“It's 11.30 and we have an hour to spare before boarding the ferry. To top it off, we are feeling a little peckish. I had heard good things about The Kanteen, so off we go. You are greeted by a warm yet industrial atmosphere, with a professional air. The vibe is very much like a shared workspace, the occasional table hosting a laptop and an impromptu meeting or two. We made our way to the service desk and we're greeted with a lovely welcome and friendly smile. The food in the cabinet looked amazing, so I ordered the Mushroom Melt, and my friend the Swiss Cheese BLT. And of course, a couple of Flat Whites!! The food was served promptly and was amazing. The melt did exactly that, with dripping cheese, caremalised onions and loads of mushrooms, this toasted sandwich ticked all of my boxes. Made with care and with fresh ingredients, it was the gift which kept on giving. And for the price tag it was a great deal. The coffee was equally good, and served in a suave eco friendly disposable cup. Please try this place out, it's definitely worth it!”

“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)”

“Devilskin We Rise 2024 Concert. A mother and daughter outlet.”

“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 ☀️”

“Always, always high quality, been going for years and have never once had an issue. Love the sushi and every staff member is always so helpful and welcoming! Love this store. Will always try to go here above others!!”

“On my way back to Auckland and was at the Wellington airport. Felt like a burger so decided to have a burger. It was really nice, succulent chicken and crispy bacon. Good fries too.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

“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 ✨”

“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”

“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.”

“This is quality sushi. The dishes are fresh and the price reasonable. The train itself goes very quickly so you have to be a little nimble to grab your dish without making a mess. Good variety and made-to-order items available too.”

“The pizza here was delicious, highly recommend!”

“Yummy sushi - consistently have tuna and unagi as well as the standard salmon sushi. Competitively priced too.”

“Great food! Always tasty and has a great selection of new pizzas every time we go.”

“Best pizzas ever and local in Tawa! Love their Indian style pizza. Staff friendly”

“Luv this place. The Manhattan is my Fav”

“My first of, no doubt, many meals from here. I had a Curry Chicken Don and it was just delicious. Full of flavour and good value too. There's a great range on the menu to look forward to.”

“The staff noticed I had requested my pizza without cheese from an online ordered and within I uses called to check if I was dairy free to make it in the diary free zone. I am not, I just don't like a lot of cheese. It was kind and thoughtful to call and check just in case.”

“Me and my spouse had a great time there. We were awestruck by the good quality food here, and ate two days in a row here. All of the Indian curries were excellent, the curd was also brilliant in taste. If you are in Wellington then this restaurant is a must visit.”

“Perfection! Incredibly fresh ingredients executed to a high standard. We had the Bruschetta, Rucola salad, meatballs, arancini, calamari, pepperoni pizza, garlic bread. Highlights: Light, high quality pizza dough Fresh, fresh ingredients, high quality pepperoni and squid Best Arancini we have had, love the little chilli kick. Highly recommended for snack or full meal. Lovely to interact with the owner, and the staff were friendly and attentive. AAA+++ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
