Food establishment in Wellington

“My favourite place. I visit everytime I come back to Wellington”

“Honestly, this is hands down the best sweet and sour pork I’ve ever eaten! And The staff is also very friendly.”

“Always excellent customer service being provided by staff especially the woman celebrating her birthday today.”

“Mushroom quesadilla on a Sunday afternoon - glorious. We ordered then waited on the balcony of Goldings bar with a drink. Whilst it took a bit longer than expected it was well worth the wait! Highly recommend if you're after a Mexi-fix.”

“Another local favourite, with plenty of great ways to enjoy your fresh coffee - Steampunk and Nitro among the 'must try' options - and a knowledgeable staff happy to help find your favourites!”

“Absolutely fantastic! Coffee is great. Atmosphere really easy and rustic (just as I love it. Something that I really loved is that they promote the use of your own cup instead of paper goblets (go green!) They also make their own pizzas. So far, the cheapest café I had in New Zealand”

“Bought a dog coat for my dog Dolly. She'd had a rather severe groom and was freezing. So nice to be able to take Dolly into the shop and try them on. Really nice service and good quality goods.”

“From all the times I've come here, the staff have been wonderful and extremely helpful! Would definitely recommend t leaf T!! Customer service is great. As a bonus, they even gift wrap for free with a range of different coloured/patterend bands and have taste testings for a couple of tea flavours at a time.”

“The meals are delicious and the lasagna name is the best I've had ! Trust me, I'm a foodie. Gotta say, love the customer service and everything about the guys who run this place! "Wellingtons best kept secret"”

“Cute little neighbourhood Argentinian run cafe on Oriental Bay. With a seaside view this place offers a simple modern interior decor, funky contemporary music that serves coffee and Argentinian treats and pastry. The empanadas are delicious but my favourites are the egg and bacon pastry/tart and they serve the best cheese scones I’ve ever had- I taste test cheese scones wherever I go! The egg and bacon pastry/tart is served with this special Argentinian sauce that’s unique and delicious that I highly recommend trying- Chimichurra sauce. Service is courteous, polite and friendly.”

“There’s a good reason you’re likely to see queues out the door for Goods. They’re consistently baking the BEST pastries, serving it with great coffee and the friendliest service. In my partner’s words: “this place makes me glad I live in Wellington.” Unbeatably cosy vibes.”

“On a cold Wellington morning, we ducked into this cafe for a couple of coffees. Warm, friendly service and tasty coffee. Cute little courtyard out the back sheltered from the wind.”

“We are visiting Wellington and came across this bar. What a brilliant bar. This is the best bar I’ve been to in years. Great vibe, excellent music, good booze, and a unique setup. Loved it! We drunk beer and played pool.”

“Ruth made us two beautiful cakes for an event, a GF chocolate cake and a regular lemon cake. They looked great, very classy, and were quite delicious! Thank you, Anna”

“I was early to take the ferry to the South Island and had a coffee there. The vibe was amazing. The staff was so friendly and helpful and joking around with each other and the customers. On top of that the coffee was also fab. I had a savory scone that which was very JUM as well.”

“Fantastic beers and amazing food! Clean and easygoing environment and super helpful staff. Loved all the dogs - made the whole time there feel super relaxed!”

“What a beautiful bakery! We stopped by on the way to Weta and we were thrilled with such delightful sandwiches and bread! I only wish we were in Wellington longer so we could come back!”

“We like that it’s a small hole in the wall brick oven pizza place. Perfect for in and out. It is very nice, comfortable and welcoming. Fast & friendly service and pizza was superb. We got the Carne. Crust was thin, soft on the inside and a perfect slight chewiness on the outside. Also perfect amount of sauce & cheese. We totally enjoyed it very much. Highly recommend this place.”

“The food was exceptionally prepared and presented. It was full of flavour and melted in your mouth. Loved the extra details and the friendly service. We had the set menu and it is well balanced and just exquisite. This restaurant never disappoints.”

“Dined at Oikos for the first time this evening, and we will definitely be back. We ordered a variety of dishes to share – the lamb shoulder was super tender, the chicken skewers were delicious, and the honey feta was lovely. The portion sizes aren’t massive, but this is the sort of restaurant you’d visit for the experience and the quality of flavours, rather than to leave feeling absolutely full. My only suggestions would be to provide salt and pepper on the tables and to consider offering some non-alcoholic wine options. Warm service and a lovely atmosphere – many thanks!”

“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!”
