Eat, Drink & Enjoy Wellington

Beef Wellington

Wellington needs to keep all its politicians and bureaucrats fed, watered and entertained, so there is no shortage of eating and drinking options -

Food, drink & music

There’s plenty of competition, so standards are high in upmarket restaurants, contemporary cafes and noodle houses all over town. For lots of options browse Cuba Street and Courtenay Place.

Craft beer is huge and the live music scene is active. Check out the Wellington Gig Guide for what’s going on.

Entertainment

There’s a lively theatre scene and Wellington is home to the NZ Symphony Orchestra and Royal NZ Ballet.
