Best places: Wine bars in New Zealand

👍👍 Wow, I'm really impressed with the street-style decor in the restaurant, inspired by Asian countries. The relaxed and natural way the staff communicates and takes orders is definitely a plus. As for the food, my favourite is the grilled meat noodle salad, while my boyfriend thinks the crispy pork be...

👍👍 What an amazing little bar! Was my first time here tonight and was not disappointed! Is a small bar that had brilliant music from Stretch. There is a little dance floor, several different rooms and alcoves. The furniture is an eclectic mix of lounge chairs, occasional tables, regular tables and chai...

😠 We have high expectations of this place. What we ordered were let down. The garlic bread was too hard while the pesto was too salty. The service went fine though. Updated: You replied after a month, you could have made a gazillion of pesto after my visit hence the taste is not the same. You're such...

👍👍 Such a pleasant surprise! We didn't know about this place and saw it driving by. The meat platter was incredibly delicious Chicken wings, steak and ribs, all prepared in a different way with 2 different sauces on the side, keeping your taste buds excited all the way through. Excellent service, beat...

🫤 We ordered the calamari, antipasto platter, BLT pizza and fries. The calamari was not even calamari, it tasted like pork belly, it was soaked in brown sugar and maple syrup and other spices completely taking away the authentic calamari taste. The antipasto platter was over priced considering the am...

Cozy, upscale establishment in a Victorian cottage featuring classic & modern NZ dishes & fine wine.

🫤 We visited this restaurant for lunch on Saturday, we were walk in customers looking for a simple lunch so we did not have high expectations. Just after a simple lunch. The lady who seated us was really great, offered us menus and water etc, got us drinks and everything was going great. We ordered o...

Iconic 1862 beer & wine garden with mountain views & a large menu of locally sourced tapas.

👍👍 Had the tasting menu. Max and his team were incredibly hospitable and this was the best meal I’ve had in Wellington…which is saying something.

🫤 First of all the food taste good. Excellent Seasoning and quality taste. We were a group of 4 and were told to order 3-4 entrées and 3-4 pastas to share between us. The portions of food that came out were incredibly small. That basically left us having maybe a small bite of each plate. Some of the p...

Dark, intimate haunt with fireside seating featuring inventive NZ dishes, craft cocktails & wine.

👍👍 Food is very fresh and delicious! We were really hungry and started Googling and found this place! I never heard or had Tan Slice in my life and their tan slice is out of the world! They have various kombucha options and are all equally good! The coffee here is really good too! I love visiting the s...

👍👍 One of the best places to visit in Christchurch. The wine flights are masterfully curated, and Katie (sommelier) provided exceptional service. I was visiting from Sydney, but I’ll be back here in a heartbeat.

👍👍 Very cool little bar. Not suitable for large groups.

Cambodian restaurant serving classic dishes & cocktails in a humble, traditional space.

👍👍 LOVED this little wine bar and shop. Popped in for a nightcap and ended up with a drink AND a show. Lovely people, cool space, chilled vibe.

👍👍 What a fun place! Both bartenders were super nice and friendly, great chat and service. Excellent selection of spirits, its a relatively small space but felt very cozy and comfy. Loved the decor. Was only there for a nightcap (which turned into 3) and will definitely be back.

👍 Could have been 3.5 stars but. Front of house staff very good and welcoming. Wine list very good and reasonable. Sharing platters are great (Tapas ,based), but specially asked for prawns before pork belly and artichoke and spinach dish, because of effect on palete. Did not happen, pork belly deliver...
