You will never go hungry in Wellington. The city's lively food scene is rich in passionate small producers, each of whom has a story to tell. Chocolatiers who source beans from across the South Pacific and hire local artists to design their packaging; lively laneway diners that throw the menu open to influences from across the globe – it's all part of Wellington's eclectic gourmet scene. Whether you are hungry for an elegant French meal or a quality hit of caffeine, Wellington is the place to indulge your appetite.
