Wellington Night Market takes place every Friday and Saturday evening on Cuba Street from 5pm till…read more11pm. It promotes not only the diversity of cuisine, culture, and creativity on Cuba Street, but also exhibits how the community comes together to share an experience of comfort food with some rad entertainment. It's all about food, flavors, fun, friends, and family. Currently, the market is about one-city-block long which will take about 10-15 minutes to explore through all the vendors. As the community and popularity grow, hopefully so will the market. IndoPlus, among all other street food vendors, was the most appealing to my taste buds. There's nothing like REAL authentic, family-owned and operated, Indonesian street food in Wellington! And $10 deal was a bargain for the delicious Nasi Goreng with Short Beef Ribs & Fried Egg.

Everyone felt super professional, attending to us enough that we wanted for nothing, but giving us enough space to enjoy our conversation. The food was nothing to write home about, but nothing to complain about either. The chai was one of the better I've had in NZ. Price wise, the menu does well to accommodate a range of budgets with brunch options ranging from $13-30 ball park.

The atmosphere alone; with bathrooms funky surprises, tables with awesome posters, and random memorabilia around the space creates so much fun! I explored all over, and got to meet the local cat who hangs out. With the view across the street, they probably didn't need to do anything and the place would be amazing, but they really add to the beach/water feel. The staff is super friendly, welcoming our tour group with open arms (granted they knew our tour guide really well), but we got a breathtaking window view, and the kindest treatment. We got milkshakes (chocolate banana and coffee) they tasted so fresh, like they handpicked bananas and shaved in gourmet chocolate; like they poured in iced coffee. So yummy I slurped every drop. For a meal I got the scorch-o-rama breakfast; so much meat! and the Wellington special brown sauce gave it a good tangy taste. The mushrooms were grilled to yum 10/10, I wanted to ask for more. My husband got the Arnold Chowder with large chunks of seafood. So fresh it was as if they left and caught them while we barely waited. (True this and the milkshakes didn't pair that well on our tummies later, but worth it!)

This is a nice place to grab a small snack or lunch when visiting the nearby Cable Car Museum or…read moreBotanical Gardens. It is a small place that offers a variety of coffee, tea, hot chocolate and other beverages. In addition there is a variety of pastries and such. Since they are small and offer a variety, there is only so much made each day. They may run out, so don't get your heart set on something. Likewise, they are always busy so you may have to grab a seat at a dirty table until it can be attended to. Neither of these things are bothersome, just be prepared for it. The reason for my 3 stars is because it is an average place to grab a snack and/or a beverage. Nothing special, nor anything that stands out. It is convenient if you are waiting to ride the Cable Car down the hill or simply need a break and a place to sit down. The view from the café is nice. The surroundings are quiet and peaceful. Note: there is artwork all over the cafe for sale. Very interesting to look at.

I asked the Internet for where to find a proper Sunday Roast. It's a British thing and it's great…read moreto see this tradition exists in New Zealand culture as well. Hooray for the Commonwealth! Arriving at 6:40pm, the restaurant was only about halfway filled with a placard at the entrance announcing that this evening's Roast is sliced sirloin. I was hoping for lamb but this will do. I sat by the window with my laptop and used some wifi before and after dinner. My meal arrived after about ten minutes, a good portion with sliced sirloin, mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, roasted potatoes and yes, a Yorkshire pudding. A light gravy over all and the only point off is that they did not have any horseradish for the beef. Perfectly cooked, nicely presented and absolutely delicious. Hooray for tradition and thank you, Southern Cross. A lovely Sunday evening meal. [Review 352 of 2024 - 8 in New Zealand - 21385 overall]
