Romantic gifts in Wellington

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

“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.”

“Lovely place for date night !! We did the "first table" deal and worked great for us. We tried quite a few items of the menu and had great savings. I would absolutely recommend the fish crudo, the Rib eye and the truffle gnocchi. I know is a meat restaurant, but let me say the gnocchi was one of the best I've had; the onion soubise was espectacular, airy and tasty. In general the sides were ok, Caesar salad was good AND the puré as well, would probably not order the mushrooms again. Desserts were good, specially the tiramisú. Would've appreciated a chocolate option as well... The service by the two french ladies was perfect! Attentive and professional. Would recommend !”

“My family took me there for my 84th birthday - - 10 of us , my whole family in Wellington and had a beautiful meal, lovely atmosphere +++ and a really lovely evening. Thank you so much”

“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.”

“A great restaurant, excellent food and great atmosphere. Remember to take your own alcohol as it’s a byo. Overall great value and would definitely visit again”

“Food was fantastic, best meal I have had in NZ. Lamb was cooked to perfection, paired with roasted root vegetables that had a wonderful, natural glaze. Roasted potatoes lightly browned, creamy on the inside. The pork belly was also very nicely done, the mash hearty and flavorful. Cabbage provided a nice counter-point. Highly recommended.”

“My partner and I usually go out once a month for dinner to restaurants around Wellington and we were delighted with this place! I have a gluten intolerance and the staff member that served us was super accommodating! I absolutely loved the cocktails, I had a tropical one with an ice block and a toasted marshmallow screwer. My partner had a yellow curry and I had the Bangkok Street Noodles and they even gave me some peanut sauce as I could have soy sauce and it went perfectly well with it! I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone and will be back! Thanks for a great night and experience!”

“A great place to chill and enjoy the crowds (or army of suits). Very easy to get to, via bus or rail. Food was great beer was too only downside no Stella. Will come again soon :)”

“It's our first time to dining in this restaurant. Was really mpressed with the food and service. Food was really fresh and tasty. They even offered free soup and fruit platter. The restaurant was also tidy and clean. Will definitely come back again!”

“These guys awesome friendly helpful perfect service, highly recommend”

“A hidden gem in Churton Park! I stopped in at Simmer Café and was seriously impressed. I had a mocha and a cheese scone, and both were outstanding. The mocha was rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced — not too sweet, not too bitter. The cheese scone was fresh, warm, and full of flavour — one of the best I’ve had in Wellington. The staff were welcoming and the café had a great local atmosphere — clean, relaxed, and clearly a favourite with regulars. I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended if you’re in the area!”

“The dosa was absolutely delicious, really tasty and well made. Food quality is excellent and I’d definitely come back for the taste alone. The only downside was the cleanliness, the floor and tables were sticky, which took away from the overall experience. If they improve this, it would be a perfect spot.”

“We had our wedding reception here and it was AMAZING! The functions manager, Chyanne has been amazing during the early planning, to figuring out the last minute details. They been very accommodating for guests who had dietary/allergies, and the staff that night were fantastic for making sure our reception was amazing! Would recommend and will come again for outings ”

“I’m sorry but how have I never been here before in my 14 years living in Wellington. Such a cosy nook, blink and you’ll miss it. the last Bastian of a cheap eggs on toast in Wellington if you will. AND mayoral candidate Rob Gouldon was seated there wearing a massive ribbon like a prize- what a treat. I’ll be back a million times over”

“5 star ⭐️ all around!! Service was excellent and food was delicious 10/10 recommend. Lots of parking, great value, friendly staff, and most importantly delicious food. Had takeaway too and always perfection”

“some of the best food in Wellington hands down, love this place”

“Olé is amazing! If you are looking for something more interesting than Asian or Italian- this is your place. The tapas portions are generous and delicious. We had the pomegranate and home made lemonade drinks and they are divine. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and experience, the food is prompt and tasty and the service is excellent. We left full and impressed. We’ve been to Spain and the food at olé is authentic and awesome.”

“This is the best Chinese restaurant we have ever been too. The waiter was lovely and helped us choose some foods that we were undecided about. Very good prices on the meals and just the food quality is amazing. We got the crab and prawns in a chilli sauce and it was some of the best seafood we’ve ever had. We ended up going twice on our 4 day trip because of how good it is”

“Everything from check in to check out was on point. Great friendly and helpful staff at the front desk. Helped us with our parking solution promptly and without any hassles. Great food and drinks from the bar, and the staff there were amazing as well. The cleaners kept the room immaculate during our stay. Would definitely stay there again without hesitation.”

“We regularly come here with the kids, extended family and friends! We love the outdoor but undercover section. It’s warm even on a cold day! We so appreciate the kids area and try to book a table near it! The staff are always friendly, quick and efficient! We have several food allergies with the kiddos and it’s never been a problem here! Kids love it! The only negative is that there is not a dairy free option for kids dessert eg only soft serve. Would be fabulous to have another option even ice blocks.”

“Very good service, amazing food and cheap for all family,and couples, best soup and bread ever highly reccomend”

“Great food and friendly service. We had sweet and sour pork, Singapore noodles, and chicken fried rice.”

“Best Thai I have ever had. Great food, good prices, nice people. Super authentic.”

“The best crumbed fish I've ever had and best Souvlakis this side of Fitzroy”

“Great customer service. I love my snack box — thank you very much. They gave me two drumsticks instead of one big piece since they had run out, but it was still satisfying and great value.”

“An easy place to get served good quality food.”

“Tuna and chicken onigiris are great! Good sushi, really like pockets with different fillings”
