New Zealand's capital city of Wellington is a fabulous place to visit, whether you are visiting for a weekend, a week or even longer. There is so much to see and do, from strolling along the city's wonderful waterfront to taking the cable car or visiting Peter Jackson's museum and plenty more.
One of the best things you can do in Wellington is to savour the glorious food on offer. Wellington is well known for its culinary delights, award winning restaurants, quirky cafes and stunning nightlife. For a variety of awesome restaurant experiences, just visit some of the excellent restaurants on Cuba Street, Courtenay Place or the glorious waterfront. Here is a selection of the top 5 Wellington restaurants that you really shouldn't miss during your next visit to New Zealand's capital.
- The White House Restaurant always ranks highly in Wellington's restaurant reviews. It has a national and international reputation and has also won several awards since its inception nearly two decades ago. Any meal eaten at The White House will send your taste buds singing, thanks to the chef's passion, experience and creativity using only the best organic and seasonal produce. The service is out of this world and the views across the waterfront and harbour from Oriental Bay are unsurpassed.
- The General Practitioner is the ideal restaurant for after work socialising, pre-theatre dining or a relaxing visit over the weekend. It has an ever changing menu which features some fabulous wild food dishes and proudly offers patrons some of the best wild food in New Zealand. It was the winner of the Monteiths Wild Food Challenge in 2008 and continues to live up to this reputation. The building was once the consulting room, surgery and home of Dr Henry Pollen, which explains the quirky name. You'll find this fabulous Wellington treat on Willis Street in the central city.
- Logan Brown Restaurant is another award winning Wellington eatery. It was the Supreme Winner of the 2009 Restaurant of the Year Awards with a menu which the judges described as "always outstanding and never fussy". The service is great, giving visitors a gloriously memorable dining experience in Cuba Street.
- For a fabulous waterfront location and stunning seafood selections, you will thoroughly enjoy a visit to Martin Bosley's Yacht Club Restaurant. It offers gorgeous panoramic views of the city and the harbour and is a much loved Wellington institution.
- For true waterfront dining, Shed 5 Restaurant is a busy eatery on the harbour's edge in a fabulous old converted wool store. The food is excellent, as evidenced by its popularity amongst locals who often say it's their favourite place to take visitors to Wellington. Its consistent great service and delicious food make this restaurant an obvious choice.
