Guidebook for Wellington
Food Scene
New Orleans and Mexican home-styled cooking that doesn't cost the earth. Plenty of GF options. A sunny spot on a relaxed weekend morning. Try the Eggsadu (cheesy scrambled eggs with chili, mmm)

Quality but relaxed fair. Their gourmet burgers and chips are the best in Wellington (in my humble opinion)! Plenty of interesting beer choices for those hops lovers. Freshly made lemonade is pretty fine too. Perfect for lunch and dinner.

It has the cutest outdoor area. I suggest dining out there in the bar area and not in the restaurant out the front. Their Asian Cuisine is divine - great for sharing. Weekends they usually have a DJ.

Best pizzas in town - maybe even NZ! Bonus is that you can have a beer at Goldings Free Dive across the laneway and they will deliver your pizza there (you can order from Goldings too).

Quite simply, the food is amazing and the setting is lovely in an old villa up Mount Victoria. We tend to go here for special occasions and usually enjoy pre/post drinks at Slim Davies next door.

Best bar staff in town and their customised cocktails are spot on. Its kind of like a 1930's gentlemen's club meets Speakeasy joint. I recommend sitting at the bar and interacting with bar tenders while they're mixing your drinks.
