Class in a spectacular 1920s banking chamber |
192 Cuba Street Corner of Cuba & Vivian streets Wellington 6001 New Zealand +64 4 801 5114 http://www.loganbrown.co.nz |
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 |
