Calzone Pizza Pasta Cafe


Popular gourmet pizza
1 Courtney Place
Wellington 6001
New Zealand
+64 4 384 5269
Occupying a bustling corner site in Wellington's entertainment area, Calzone is the perfect place for upbeat dining with friends. Enjoy al fresco dining in summer and the spacious back bar for pre-dinner drinks in winter. Caters for the young and outgoing 30-something crowd. Food is Italian with a French influence, and gourmet pizza and pasta are a speciality. Moderately priced mains are served up with good music. Try the Fish of the day with Tomato Rissotto Cake, Wilted Spinach and Red Pepper Coulis. Also, good for cake and coffee after the movies or the theatre.

Dockside Restaurant and Bar


Lively seafood restaurant near the harbour
Queens Wharf
(Jervois Quay)
Wellington 6001
New Zealand
+64 4 499 9900
http://www.docksidenz.com/
This quality seafood restaurant, in a converted wooden warehouse, is uniquely positioned on the waterfront for relaxed indoor and outdoor dining. It is crowded on Friday nights with after-work drinkers and at lunch time when the sun shines. Try the fresh seafoods such as salmon and whitebait cooked to perfection with New Zealand flair. The restaurant is licensed, there is a full bar and an excellent New Zealand-focused wine list.

Kopi


Copious amounts of good food
103 Willis Street
Wellington 6001
New Zealand
+64 4 499 5570
http://www.kopi.co.nz
This two storey Malaysian espresso restaurant has a reputation for great food at reasonable prices. Wooden floors, exposed concrete walls painted a warm yellow, wood and brick characterise this casual but stylish restaurant. It is a great place for outdoor dining on the balcony over busy Willis Street on a balmy evening. Serves a range of Malaysian favourites such as Vegetables in Curry and Coconut Cream Sauce and some interesting and less well known dishes like Goat Curry. Licensed. Does not accept personal cheques.

Maria Pia's Trattoria


Simply worth it
55 Mulgrave Street
Thorndon
Wellington 6001
New Zealand
+64 4 499 5590
Housed in an old villa, slightly off the beaten track in historic Thorndon, this eatery is small, friendly and worth the hunt. It serves an excellent seasonal menu. Garden seating, open fires in winter, moderate prices and friendly service characterize the café, which is frequented by public servants and other office workers especially for lunch. Meals are hearty and range from pie, peas and spuds to vegetarian delights. Licensed.

Olive Cafe


Interesting combinations
170-172 Cuba Street
Downtown Wellington
Wellington 6001

This place, on busy Cuba Street, is seldom empty, which is indicative of the great atmosphere and interesting international menu. There are two dining areas simply decorated with enigmatic black and white photographs and original art and a spacious courtyard at the rear of the restaurant. Saturday night is jazz night, and on Thursdays feel free to bring your own wine. Serves great coffee all day and marvellous meals. Mains such as Fish of the Day with herbs, mustard and caramelised onions are on offer. Licensed.

Paris


Good place to unwind
132 Lambton Quay
Wellington 6001
New Zealand
+64 4 472 4732
This attractive place to unwind after a hard day's shopping serves a range of wine, beer, spirits and snacks to order. Light lunches, such as quiche and salad, and the handy location in the heart of Wellington's main downtown shopping area make it the choice of shoppers and business people alike. There is indoor or sidewalk seating, but get there early to beat the after-work crowd. The formal restaurant, situated upstairs, is ideal for a cosmopolitan business lunch.
