Food Scene

Best cafe on this side of the city. Often has queues but worth the wait. You can skip the line if you want to grab some coffee and counter food to takeaway. Sit on the beach while you enjoy.

Good solid cafe, especially if Maranui is too full. Easy to stop at along the no. 3 bus line, or an easy 20 minute walk from our house.

Walk up one of Wellington's oldest most characterful streets. Plenty of arty shops, alternative clothing, and cool gift shops. Fidel's has been going for years and is a mainstay of the 'cool crowd'.

A great spot to get your bearings when you arrive in Wellington. It's a decent uphill walk (and workout) for half an hour. You can go by bush tracks or road. Do it on a clear day.

A beautiful walk along the waterfront is a great way to build up an appetite. The waterfront starts down near the ferry terminal and follows all the way around to where Oriental Bay begins.

Island Bay butchery is one of Wellington's last 'old school' butchers, still making their own sausages and with excellent quality meats, and good service. Grab your BBQ items here!

Drinks & Nightlife

You can eat here too. It has a great restaurant, but I particularly like the ambience of the cosy beer garden where they play kung fu movies up on the wall. Nestled right in the city center.
