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. Review © 2007, Wcities |

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. Review © 2007, Wcities |

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.

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. Review © 2007, Wcities |
