A feast for the eyes

Evans Bay

You can feast on the beauty of Wellington harbour, and the tasty seafood, from this scenic suburban restaurant. It is spacious with massive glass windows, which make you feel part of the seascape. An international menu is available for lunch, brunch and dinner. Try the tasty Fettucine or Cajun Blackened Fish with Melon and Sun-Dried Tomato Salsa. Children are welcome. Also caters for functions and weddings. Fabulous any day of the week, sun or storm.

Shed 5

Fabulous seafood in a waterfront heritage building Queens Wharf
P.O.Box 1738
Wellington 6001
New Zealand
+64 4 499 9069
http://www.shed5.co.nz This stylish upmarket seafood restaurant and bar is situated in a painstakingly restored wharf woolshed built in 1888. Enjoy the seascapes from the big windows and the spacious wood surroundings. There is a formal dining section frequented by corporate types, a café, bar and outdoor waterfront seating. The extensive menu and quality cooking, with an emphasis on New Zealand seafood, is highly regarded. Fabulous Thai Fishcakes and seasonal whitebait are treats not to be missed.

Skyline

Spectacular cityscapes 1 Upland Road
Kelburn
Wellington 6005
New Zealand
+64 4 475 8727
http://theskyline.co.nz Magnificent views are on offer for those who think about going up, instead of out, for lunch. Located 120 metres above the central business district this is a good place for a meal or snack, or as a function venue for weddings, conferences or cocktail parties. Enjoy Wellington in the elegantly decorated dining room or on the expansive terrace for al fresco dining and views of the harbour and nearby gardens. The licensed cafe opens for casual meals, including an inexpensive lunchtime buffet, and snacks. For a fun excursion take the Cable Car from Lambton Quay.

Tug Boat on the Bay

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. Fully licensed with bar area for pre-dinner drinks.
