So an interesting concept. A meat lovers dream with a brewery next door…read more The menu is meat, meat ... oh and meat! Everything meaty and very little light or vegetarian or really variety. I had hogget taco and my partner had pork taco. Kinda small, and not presented that well. Meat looked dry. However it was quite tasty but could have had more flavour and the tortilla corn taco an overwhelming taste. Corn and nectarine side salad very fresh and tasty. Although not sure that two thin slices of nectarine really qualify as top billing. Amazing chocolate honey drizzle cake. Mixed messages from staff. Some very nice, some dismissive. So 50/50 on everything. Would go back if friends wanted to but would make that choice on my own.

Relish has excellent wholesome tasty food. They do lots of counter foods plus breakfast favourites from eggs bennie to kedgeree. Our personal favs are the ginger & rhubarb muffins. Still slightly warm from the oven they are delicious with our morning coffee. Food is always beautifully presented, our muffin always comes with a dusting of icing sugar and a sprig of lavender. Warmth, friendliness, excellent food and good old fashioned service. June 2018. Wrote the above review a few years ago. The cafe has been sold at the beginning of this year and the food offering largely the same. Friendly guys running the place now. Went there recently though and no muffins.

This place is so good I really don't feel like sharing it with anyone :)…read moreThat'd be too selfish though, even for me. The cafe is by no means posh from the outside. Once you step in you immediately relax as there's something familiar about it. Everyone smiles, the staff are laid back and polite, the tables and the decor are what you'd expect in a batch by the beach. The food is always fresh. I highly recommend the seafood chowder and I suggest you try the Sacred Water (house brew). They have separate menus for brunch and dinner and there's something for everyone. The cuisine is Mediterranean / European so it's usually light but consistent. Waimea Cafe is one of my favourites places in the Wellington region!

This quick stop after almost missing our cancelled/delayed ferry was a pleasant surprise. Kajal Chandhari was the duty manager and she was delightful. We enjoyed her and the food.

Cheese chilli naan was spicy and so good. My tikka kiwi hot couod have used more spice was the only complaint but the cheese chilli naan made it all work very well. We all would eat here again.

Restaurant looking grubby ( especially around door to kitchen), garden unkept. Staff indifferent and when I asked to meet new owners was told they don't work in business. Tried again for dinner and coffee a few times but hours kept reducing and changing. In Dec tried to book a table - told they had no bookings do they might not open ( great attitude - NOT) said they would call back. 3 hours later no call so booked elsewhere. Have noticed garden tidied up but no longer doing coffees and days open reduced. Such a shame. Had been a thriving classy restaurant for so many years. I am sure the owners will blame Covid, but from my perspective and experienced it's that they just don't care.
