Restaurants in Wellington

“My partner and I like coming to Hudsons. Beautifully presented coffees always! These guys are Christmas ready too. Great ambience. Excellent staff, food and coffee...”

“Great food, loved the Tacos especially the prawn and pulled pork options. Great selection of Gins from NDC as well.”

“Best curly fries around. Easy to have a conversation and be heard, the coffee is constantly good and recently become almost too pretty to drink.”

“First of all this is a pub not a fancy restaurant - set your expectations accordingly. Having said that the food is excellent value for money and a big range of options on the menu and specials board and an amazing selection of sweets in the cabinet. Have had the "small" beef burger here and it's just spot on, usually can't finish the fries that come with it (hey have small/large sizes that really should be described as big/huge). Friendly service at the counter, clean and tidy premises and what looked like a number of locals in for Monday lunch - clearly popular.”

“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 ☀️”

“We had our wedding at The Waterfront in March 2025 and couldn't be happier with our choice. Zara was involved from the start, bringing a calm, professional approach that made the planning process easy and stress-free. Her communication was excellent, and she used her experience to ensure everything went smoothly. She even took on extra tasks like printing and setup, allowing us to focus on other aspects. The staff were outstanding—proactive and attentive. Our guests raved about the food and overall atmosphere. We highly recommend The Waterfront for any event. They've set a new standard for hospitality on the coast, comparable to the best in Auckland or Melbourne. Keep it up & thank you for everything!!”

“I visited this subway today and had the best experience i have ever had at a subway the girl who served me harper was super fast with making me and my kids subway definitely will be coming back!”

“Great spot for a quiet drink. Kitchen was closed but snacks available - enjoyed the Hawaiian pizza”

“Delicious and fresh. Best salmon sushi I've ever had. Specially made fresh avocado sushi for the kids.”

“Pulled in here for a couple of drinks and a game of darts, what a fabulous place. We were on abit of a time limit but we really wanted to stay longer and get some food too, we really wanted to kick in for a long one. Had everything we wanted, bar stools and tables,, cosy lounging area with style, an outdoor area, a TAB, this place has alot to offer, lots of great food choices too, oh and a unique looking fire place to sit around on these cold days. Would I come back again, hell yes, loved it”

“Very user-friendly online ordering website or app. Easy to use and easy payment system. Pizzas were ready at pickup time and pizzas were very tasty. The counter service at Mana store was average and could be improved. The store is no longer fully decorated inside and the walls look very bare. It would look so much better if the walls were decorated and the lighting improved. Very dark inside.”

“Just had the best service (and yummy meal, as always). There was a small error in the kitchen with my GF pizza, and it had to be remade. They were so apologetic, and even gave me a free dessert! I was more than happy to wait, and didn't expect anything free, but was so touched by the offer and incredibly impressed by the service. We will definitely be back! I was also very impressed at how careful they were with cross contamination. Would recommend for anyone with allergies, particularly GF, they take them seriously!!”

“The guy who served us was superb. The pizzas were top notch as always. Thank you Johnsonville Sal's.”

“Lovely pizza always well cooked. Staff were helpful.”

“The pizzas are always good here, and the staff are always friendly and helpful.”

“Highly recommend. I absolutely loved my breakfast. The omelette was delicious and the butter was served at room temperature so it actually spread on my toast. The service was fast but you weren't rushed. Great chilling music played in the back ground.”

“Ordered a custom pizza and had it delivered. Highly impressed with the quality and taste of the pizza. Glad I went to HELL!”

“Fantastic food. Our favourite curry in Wellington. Butter chicken, Chicken Vindaloo and Do Piaza are amazing. Thank you”

“My favourite Indian restaurant. Curry is always flavoursome, crispy naan bread. Highly recommend the Vindaloo or Tikka Masala!”

“Love this local gem in Tawa. Reasonably priced with huge portions. Food is delicious and service fantastic. BYO.”

“The food is very flavoursome, healthy and varied. The service is usually good and was this last time (not very busy). The previous visit was not as good - not enough place settings, even after asking; we had water glasses but no water, until we asked for it; and we seemed to be a blind spot for the waiter. So either that waiter improved or it depends on how busy it is.”

“It was one of the best tasting Indian restaurant meal we have had in many years. Great service and the food was wonderful. At home now and still have a wonderful taste in our mouths. Highly recommend.”

“Nice work Supreme all this for $20 seems pretty good, fish nice and crisp and no fluffy batter. thanks”

“This is a hidden gem ... If you are in wellington CBD you should definitely visit chow restaurant... Food was delicious the mocktails were amazing ... Plenty of seating ... Staff were lovely”

“I got a beef nasi goreng. Beef was cooked good. Rice was amazing. A lot of veggies like celery and broccoli. Overall an outstanding dish. Definitely would get it again”

“Absolutely the best seafood laksa ever! I take all my visiting friends and family here.”

“Service was fantastic from an attentive server. Oysters and mussels were tasty and presented well. Flounder was cooked perfectly and the meat from the ribs fell off the bone. Delicious and good portions! Very happy.”

“Have tried this place a couple of times, the fish is really fresh and their jalapeño poppers are good. Overall worth the price.”

“We cannot get enough of this place, very well priced too. Always leave full and happy. Only disappointment is that they've removed the cheese dip and corn chip entree which was our favourite. Love the decor and the service is great even when very busy. Have tried a wide range of the meals and have loved every one of them. The margaritas are delicious too. Favourite restaurant by far.”

“Got badly let down by rosies red hot so came here for the first time. Blew every other Mexican gaff in welly out of the water. The best service we've had anywhere - amazing on the phone, great staff inside and simply amazing food. Walked past many times - this is now a firm family favorite.”
