Class in a spectacular 1920s banking chamber |

Located in a beautifully restored 1920s-era building, this spacious, white tableclothed and elegantly decorated restaurant is one of Wellington's favourites, loved by business people for lunch and gourmands for dinner. It features a cocktail wine bar that is open late for supper. The owners serve food of international standard with style and grace. A jazz band entertains on some nights. The menu is reasonably expensive, so inquire about the three-course pre-theatre set menus and bankers' lunches. These are good value options. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Nautical night out |
Freyberg Lagoon Oriental Bay Wellington 6001 New Zealand +64 4 384 8884 |
Wellington's only floating restaurant offers great views--city lights, ferries, and a procession of yachts sailing into the nearby marina. The marine theme continues inside the restaurant, which is light and spacious. Children will enjoy the novelty of eating in a boat. Try it on a Sunday--they have been dedicated 'family day'. New Zealand seafood is a speciality though meat and vegetarian dishes are also available. Seafood fans should try the Mystery Seafood Bounty - a selection of seasonal seafoods.
