Restaurant in Wellington

“Good authentic Thai food. Prob best in Wellington, worth a try esp if you have been to Thailand a crave a fix. Best Phad Thai I have had in Wellington.”

“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!”

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

“I first visited this heart warming spot a year ago to celebrate my little brother's bday. Since then every mention of Vietnamese food has had me thinking about the exquisite crispy pork summer rolls, the most delectable Watermelon long island cocktail and the Pho - the Pho actually deserves its own 5 star review to be truthful, its succulent, amazingly flavorful, and its amazing flavour profile makes it feel like its good for your soul. When my brother offered to fly me down again this year for his birthday, one thing was on my mind PhoViet. And it was truly worth the wait. Walking in you often get greeted by Alex, the owner who makes you feel so welcomed and like your part of the family there. Remembers the orders of his regulars, and ensures you are always well fed. Alex greeted us and remembered me even after a year and ensured myself and my little brother had an amazing time eating truly fantastic food and enjoying amazing drinks. Big thank you to Alex and his team. I will be thinking about those summer rolls and those Watermelon long islands until I managed to get back to wellington to visit again.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“It's a take out place. The food was amazing. They are not kidding on the level of Sichuan”

“Dining at Polemo the other night was an absolute treat. Nestled right on the waterfront, the restaurant offers not just stunning views but also exceptional food and service. The beef short ribs were a standout—so tender and flavorful they quite literally melted in your mouth. The pork belly roll was equally impressive, perfectly seasoned to bring out its rich flavours. A special shoutout to Kevin for his excellent menu recommendations, and to Kelly who is a dessert queen that panna cotta was phenomenal!”

“Ordered a Cajun lamb and Chilli lamb souvlaki. Both super delicious. Service was excellent. Souvlakis were made in 10 mins. Happy customer.”

“I am working on the same building and this is not only a very convenient place to go, but best stop for cheese scone and coffee! Yummy Prestigios and delish Empañadas. We went to try the WOP burger and it is a success! Rodrigo is lovely, always have a nice word! Well done”

“First day open as a restaurant and still temporary place in dixon street. But the food. OMG such a bunch of flavors. Just great. Indian food different from what you get at an normal indian restaurant. So tasty and nicely made. Quick service with their 8 minute serving policy. Will come again as i have still some dishes on their menu to taste.”

“My absolute favourite food truck along the waterfront. Staff are always so friendly and up for a banter. Food is always on point. Love grabbing a bite over and over again :)”

“An absolute staple of my lunchtime routine, if in doubt on what to have for my midweek lunch I always come here. Great price great food awesome service!”

“We stopped in for a late lunch on Saturday and the place had a steady stream of customers either eating in or taking away. My boyfriend and I both ordered the dosa and agreed it was some of the best we’d had. The service was super attentive (given the chef / owner was the only one working that shift), the food was delicious, and the restaurant and toilets were nice and clean. We’ve both happily agreed to make this a new regular.”

“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.”

“We have been a few times now and still the best on quality and taste. One of the best indian food places in wellington which gives you authentic taste of India. Also, Ganga is great at customer service and knows how to treat customers.”

“Great new Argentinian cafe in Kilburnie! Awesome empanadas and Quince tart! And great L'affare coffee! Definitely give it a visit!”

“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.”

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

“We call up and order chicken jalfrezi which isn’t on the menu but they still make it for us… absolutely delicious and perfect spicyness… we can smell it as we are walking through the subway. Mmm . Sometimes he will give us a free naan just for being regular customers. The best taste in Wellington. We can remember when they first opened. They now have a great reputation. Highly recommended. Mike and Winny.”

“Not one to google reviews often, but I highly recommend this place! Great beer, chilled out atmosphere and the staff were super friendly. The food was great and had a great time. So a well deserved 5 star review which don't come often from me. Oh and it’s dog friendly! Huge bonus points!”

“A genuine gem of a restaurant, serving some of the nicest Vietnamese food. Seats tend to be readily available, but very busy for takeaway. Service was super friendly and engaging. Highly recommended.”

“Top notch venue, done very well. Very professional and friendly staff. Delicious fare.”

“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!”
