Restaurant in Wellington

“This small and inviting dining space offers an incredible dining experience. They were pretty full by 5:30 but managed to squeeze me in at a bar seat and I’m so thankful they did. It was one of the best meals I’ve had in NZ ever, and I hope to return when I am next through Wellington. It’s not even the type of food I would normally go for, but I’m glad I did. I enjoyed the spiced roasted pork bun to start and the Beef pho. But everyone else’s meals around me also looked fabulous. I almost returned later in the evening to get another helping before I left town, but alas it will have to wait. I highly recommend it. Also the staff were very efficient and helpful, and on their game. The whole time I was there I watched as the prepped twice as many things to-go than they even served in house. Will be back.”

“First time at Apaches new location and wow it did not disappoint. The restaurant was buzzing, the staff were amazing and the food is just delicious. The food is fresh, tasty and portions are generous. The bar has a great range of drinks. Highly recommend!!”

“Will definitely come back again! Came here once because my friend recommended and now has become my favorite restaurant in welly. Staffs were friendly and great atmosphere to hang out with friends or family. The seats were almost filled around 20min after they open. Off street parkings are available around too. Love everything we order, especially the gnocchi with prosciutto! 3 people ordered 4 appetizers and a steak, very filling. Also the bacon marmalades on the bone marrow is yum!!”

“One of our favourite finds on our NZ holiday - great atmosphere and one of the best burgers I’ve ever had”

“Great place for a drink on a sunny afternoon in Wellington. Friendly staff, good ambiance, good music. Choose up or downstairs they even have a balcony. Makes you feel a bit like being in London with a touch of sunshine and clean air.”

“Havana Bar was recommended to us on a Wellington review page. Everything was really excellent. The atmosphere was cozy. The music and the lights were appropriate for our conversation. The food and drinks were delicious and at a fair price. We highlight the ceviche, you must try it! We will definitely come back to enjoy the night of live music.”

“Actually best burgers on Welly. Always a good amount of sauce. Staff kind and friendly and let us make changes to the burger. Chips usually crispy. Great value.”

“Outstanding service at Burger Fuel Porirua. The staff member went above and beyond. He also let my daughters make their own ice creams behind the counter and even offered to cool down their kids’ meals so they could enjoy them sooner. Their customer service is genuinely top tier every single time I’ve popped in for a meal. The staff are always so helpful, kind, and consistent. After a tough day, his kindness and thoughtfulness truly lifted my mood. Businesses like this absolutely deserve all the support!”

“Fantastic food and coffee. Traditional brunch good as well as gourmet burgers and beautifully presented tacos and quesadillas. Pleasant outdoor seating area for lunch in the sun or shade.”

“Absolutely delish food! Had brunch & cake, so delicious! The eggs Bene was the best I’ve had in a long time! Dubai chocolate brownie was amazing! Service was great, friendly staff, cute spot! Quite loud inside, but would highly recommend!”

“Full house for a Tue dinner service (before a sellout show at MFC). Be sure to book! Burrata, flatbread, snapper crudo, gnocchi, wagyu flank, half lamb shoulder (classic they'll hopefully never stop serving), sides of cauli & fries - between 4. All dishes were perfectly on point flavour-wise and generous enough to share. Everyone left satisfied and still recalling the yum hours later. Service was attentive and friendly but unprentious. Unique and broad selection of wines (cocktails a bit slow, but it was busy). Overall a very memorable meal and will for sure continue to recommend to others for special occassions, and return.”

“The Maori Sidesteps were wonderful. Great music, great comedy and some important messages to top it off.”

“Beautiful Flat White, Chocolate Almond Croissant and the owner that made my morning on a cold day before the ferry. Would def be back anytime I’m in Welly for the rest of the good-lookin’ pastries, sangas and coffee! Best regards from a Polish sweet tooth! x @elliessuperfoods”

“Our stay at Sofitel Wellington was absolutely wonderful. The hotel itself is beautiful, with a welcoming and elegant atmosphere. The staff were exceptionally friendly and went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. They were full of local knowledge and pointed us toward some fantastic nearby attractions, which really enhanced our visit. The location was perfect — close to plenty of activities and great places to explore, all within easy walking distance. We also thoroughly enjoyed both dinner and breakfast at the hotel; the food was outstanding and truly one of the highlights of our stay. Overall, we had such a memorable experience at Sofitel Wellington. Thank you to the entire team for your warm hospitality and exceptional service — we can’t wait to return!”

“I came to Antalya Kebab House for lunch, and I really enjoyed it. The kebab was big, had a nice amount of meat and veggies, and the hot sauce was nicely spicy. The chips were nice as well, and I appreciated the student discount. Will be returning.”

“We found this hidden gem by accident. The food was incredibly good and the ingredients were clearly fresh. Wow”

“We ordered Tom Yum Soup and Panang Curry with Rotis for dinner. The Tom Yum soup was delicious, great portion and done to perfection. I found the Panand curry too creamy for my liking, may be that's how it is prepared, the taste was good. Rotis and Satay sauce was very good too. Service was good. The new place on Cuba is lovely. The fan wasn't working so it was a bit smokey but the food made up for it! Overall we loved their food and definitely recommend if you like Thai food.”

“I spent 6 weeks in India, but this was the best curry I’ve ever had. Extremely flavourful and delicious, it tasted fresh and homemade in all the best ways. Fabulous little takeaway place and I will definitely be back! Thank you for the wonderful food!”

“Best Indian restaurant in wellington. Very warm welcoming staff. I ordered MALAI KOFTA with naan and is very delicious. Whenever I come to wellington from Paraparaumu I alaways prefer to have my lunch in curry heaven restaurant . I recommend to everyone to go to this restaurant. Thanks for delicious food.”

“Very enjoyable, tasty Curry. The Nann bread is fantastic. Loved seeing the nann bread cooked by the counter.”

“Our go to for chinese takeaway. We love their Salt Pepper Pork and Wonton Noodle Soup. The owner and staff are always friendly and welcoming.”

“Friend recommended coming here last Thursday, lucky he did, what a great experience. Sat in front of the kitchen so we could watch our food being prepared. Ordered osyters, tomato salad, fried chicken, korean fried rice, beef shin and a couple of deserts. I must say, the fried chicken was definitely the stand out dish with the fried rice coming in 2nd. Chicken was juicy, tender and super crunchy but not oily at all! Too bad it was a special for the night and not on the main menu. Staff are awesome too, they were willing to chat while preping the food, headchef even came to have a bit of a chat with too. Booked a 2nd night for dinner on the spot, but unfortunately couldn't make it. Will definitely be going back.”

“Great meal at Noble Rot. Scallops were fresh and delicate, the proteins were cooked perfectly, and the sauces were rich and well-balanced. The crispy-skin fish was a standout. Some dishes leaned a bit classic and could use more colour or acidity, and the dessert felt slightly heavy, but overall a very well-executed, enjoyable dinner.”

“What a lovely place. We’re passing through Welly and with our ferry delayed we looked for a spot for brekkie, picked the best place. Service so friendly and they were accommodating to our little Maltese girl. Delicious pastry and food in general.”

“Absolutely lovd Leroys! They've got a spacious outdoors area with a chill but fun vibe inside. The food is incredible, and they have a great tap list with plenty of options. The bar staff are super friendly and always go above and beyond... Shout out to Poppy! There's also a pool table and a nifty upstairs spot which I heard is perfect for events. Best spot in town by far!”

“This place never fails to impress and satisfy me! Well worth the 20-30 min drive it takes to get there from Porirua. This has the best Fish n Chips I have ever had, which has the best cheeseburger I have ever had. Love how fresh the fish and seafood is. So succulent! I have introduced this place to so many friends and family. This has now become a family fave. Service here is super quick and super friendly! It is located across from the beach, quirky bars, restaurants, and cafes. Parking may be a wee bit hard during peak but we managed to find parking at Bunnings across from there. This place is a must for Oka/Raw fish lovers and a must eat for everyone!”

“This hot pot is really delicious. There is a very wide variety of dishes.”

“I had the Wagyu Rib which was superb with Jasmine rice. I also had the ice cream for desert which had ginger and pepper flavor and topped with thin strands of a very light pastry. Both 5 out of 5.”

“We have been going to Polo for the last years with good reason. The coffee and kai are consistently delicious and the service friendly, efficient and comfy. Today we were back for a for brekky, when before the first bite our son started being sick and we quickly had to get out of there. Briar and the team were amazing, they quickly pulled together what we needed, no judgements, and kindly packed up what was left of our order. Thank you team.”

“A superb park, well laid out with great planning. The planting attracts birds of all types including the rowdy Tui. Great water features. Plenty of spacious parking and electric car charging posts. Toilets suffer from vandals but usable”
