Restaurants in Wellington

“Love this place, we always get the lemon chicken and a combination fried rice at least, but have also loved the spicy chicken, green beans, and the spicy eggplant.”

“Absolutely delicious stir fries and noodle dishes made with love. The pan-fried dumplings are so plump and juicy, they'll have you hooked!”

“Wow!! I ordered a chicken fillet burger with extra bacon and a curry roll and I am amazed! It was super delicious and I ordered it as a late night snack to eat when I got hungry, but I instantly demolished the burger as soon as I arrived home. I have never had such a great burger that wasn't from WOAP. Great job!!”

“Love this place, it is most definitely THE BEST address in Island Bay ! Staff is so friendly and lovely, the garden bar is a really cool spot to hang out on a nice day (and dog friendly !) and the gorilla burgers are really yummy. Fantastic experience, I will absolutely be back and highly recommend !”

“Stopped here recently for a Quick brunch on a Saturday morning and I was blown away for more than one reason - courteous staff, quick service, great indoor and outdoor ambience and most importantly tasty food. Walked in- immediately greeted and seated. Ordered sourdough bread with spicy scrambled eggs and coffee. Initial thoughts - pricey. But when the order came through, I must admit it was worth every penny. It was a visual treat and tasted amazing. A humble dish elevated to a whole new level and generous portions. Needless to say - I literally cleaned up my plate. Will definitely come back. Highly recommend this place.”

“Went here to get a chinese meal a few weeks ago. I ordered the roast pork wonton noodle soup, which tasted absolutely amazing! Very impressive quality of meat and wontons, making the dish great value for money. I have been to Fang's many times for both fish and chips as well as Chinese and never disappoints.”

“Great rooftop bar on Lambton Quay (upstairs) We went for lunch, sat out on the balcony and ordered the Korean fried chicken, skin on fries and club sandwiches. The service was fast and friendly, the food was delicious and the balcony had a great view of Lambton Quay.”

“This is a lovely place where to sit, enjoy a cuppa, and even get some work done. I love their modest but delicious GF options and their music selection is on point. Running into a friendly 4 legged patron from time to time is bonus that brings extra joy to my day.”

“We had a wonderful meal at Istana Malaysia in Wellington. We ordered the beef rendang, nasi goreng, and lamb murtabak, and every dish was delicious—flavorful, well-cooked, and authentic. The owner was also incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend this place for great Malaysian food and warm hospitality!”

“Cosy cafe in the heart of Lambton quay. Tried a rice noodle chicken dish and it was amazing. Would highly recommend.”

“OMG what a delicious dinner! So flavourful and fresh: charred cabbage, crispy potatoes and tomato, a fish main , lamb with onions. Rice and roti to match. Just YUM! Lovely welcoming service, nice explanation on what to choose in a funky venue. Perfect for any night of the week. I wish I lived here for more visits! Thankyou for a fabulous meal.”

“We visited Sea Salt for lunch today, the meals were excellent, served by a charming waitress. The crispy calimari was one of the best I have enjoyed, just the right smount of pepper, and perfectly cooked. Brilliant coffee, served hot too.”

“If you become a member there you can get a discount on food and drink. Atmosphere was pretty chill when i went down but they do usually always have something going on weather it be a band or karaoke etc. Food was on point I had the ribeye steak with all the sides, staff were lovely. Wheelchair accessible kid friendly, they have a small timezone area out in the atrium. Be AWARE you need to be a member or with a member to drink alcohol there but anybody from the public can eat food there. Always a great go to when I need a steak meal”

“I recently visited Cafe Figg with my family and had an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a charming ambiance. The croissant was flaky and buttery, the filo was perfectly crisp, the panini was filled with flavorful ingredients, and the corn fritters were a delicious twist on a classic dish. Each item was prepared with care and attention to detail. The service was exceptional, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable dining experience. I would highly recommend Cafe Figg to anyone looking for delicious food and top-notch service. Five stars all around!”

“Very very good food. The service is very fast and good. The food tastes always very authentic and I would give it a 10/10 every time. Wide menu range with many different options and all are very yummy. Would highly recommend!”

“The business has changed hands recently. Usual standard and in a period of rebuild. Now called Thorndon Twin Fish. Ask for Eric the new owner. Harvey is 2IC. Thanks for your attention. Phone number is the same. New website in production. !! Local fish and chips with care. Fresh & Tasty. Easy. Tap beer is excellent. Great service. Plenty of choice. Burger is excellent.”

“Food is well priced and the chef is very underated. He is good. Really good food. I eat a heckuva lot of curry, have tried a lot of different places. Food is great. Just ordered my second meal there. I can't comment on the atmosphere as I had a take-away.”

“Ordered 3 fish 2 scoops and 3 hotdogs. Pretty cheap the chips are amazing. perfectly cooked and the fish is amazing, best fish iv had for ages. Good hotdogs too! only took them 5 mins to cook it aswell”

“We have been to this cafe so many times. I love the outdoors, it has nice area outside where you can sit and enjoy your drinks and meals. I always feel this place is a bit pricey but still like the vibe of the cafe. Service is okay, there are times when we have to request staff to clean table. Other than that staff are always polite and helpful. I enjoy their milkshakes, coffees are okay.”

“Had the 8-course tasting dinner with wine pairing and it was such a great experience. Every dish was packed with flavour and looked amazing on the plate — you could tell a lot of thought went into the menu. Some combinations really surprised me, like the beetroot carpaccio with macadamia crusted feta, and the smoked eel with caviar — so good! The wines were perfectly matched to each course, starting with a crisp Champagne and ending with a bold Pinotage. It really brought out the flavours of the food. Service was spot on — the team were friendly, easy to talk to, and kept the evening feeling relaxed but still special. We never felt rushed, and everything flowed nicely from one course to the next. Left feeling full, happy, and impressed. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone who enjoys great food, wine, and a memorable night out.”

“Nirpesh (manager) was really good and accommodating. Service was excellent and the food was exquisite. Beef cheeks, squid, burger, chicken parmigiana were all top notch”

“First time visiting for lunch on a Thursday & the place was packed. You definitely need to make a reservation & wait to be seated. Once you have your table, you need to get back up into the queue to place your order but the staff are fast & efficient and it doesn’t take too long. Meals came out in good timing considering how busy it was & they were delicious with GF noodle options.”

“Absolutely delicious food and amazing service ☺️”

“Nice burgers and excellent shakes. Decent price. Would buy again.”

“Great little spot, very welcoming and relaxed atmosphere, and friendly service. I love Vietnamese food and I have to say, those in-house wontons were out the gate.. a top notch dining experience !”

“First class family bakery with an excellent hot breakfast menu. Prices are very cheap for quality food and fast friendly service”

“Such a good takeaway, fish and chips and lovely, the spicy chicken nibbles are incredible! Owners are so friendly too.”

“Both chips and fish were fried to perfection. This shop uses only vegetable oil for frying in effect which gives it the good crunch. It was quite a surprise to find them open on Boxing Day too, and its proximity to Titahi Bay Beach is an equation that one can't simply miss.”

“What a cool little spot! Totally unsuspecting that what's inside is so awesome. The food was absolutely outstanding. We all got their wellington on a plate burger which by the way, was my top of the competition. Great quality food and the drinks were great too, huge selection of beers. Such a cosy atmosphere and the service was great. Overall, great spot and I would return”

“Some of the best F&C I've had so far at a very reasonable price, battered fish was fresh, flaky, crispy and oil well drained with good crispy chips, will be my number 1 till I find a better one. Cheers.”
