I came in as I was in a rush and it's located near my office, inside the arcade between Willis Street and Manners Street. Orders are taken at the counter and you pay straight away. I didn't wait long until my Omlette was served to me. It was good (much better than most others I've had around this area) - with lovely fresh spinach, mushrooms and a nice amount of cheese - served with bread also. The place is clearly a favourite for those in the know, but not crazy busy at lunchtime, great for time management. I was delighted with my lunch and will definitely be back again. Very many thanks.

We were parked right beside Pandora Panetteria so after lunch, we made a quick pit stop. It's one…read moreof our friend's favourite places that she recommended to us. They have two other locations in the CBD and four in Auckland. We dropped in on a Sunday afternoon (around 3:50pm) just before they were closing. Luckily, they told us we could get takeaway. There's a brunch menu (7:00am to 2:30pm) along with breads, sandwiches, pastries and cakes. The pineapple Brazil-nut cake ($5.90 NZD for a slice) sounded promising. - Flat white ($4.00 NZD) - B liked this one quite a bit. Good flavour.

This must be a joke because this restaurant is named Fahrenheit…read more We scuttled quickly out of downtown Wellington because it was so busy and parking was a nightmare and stumbled upon Celsius aka Fahrenheit on the way out of town due to the 5-star Yelp review. It wasn't super busy and parking was easy to navigate. I can't remember their clever names, but we essentially ordered 2 lattes plus their eggs Benedict and mince on toast. Coffee was good and strong and well made. Benny was served on a giant hashbrown wedge which was really interesting. However, the entire thing sat heavy in my belly like a brick the entire day. Husband enjoyed his mince on toast. The serving was quite generous and he all but licked his plate clean. I'm not sure if I'd go back as there are a plethora of cool breakfast joints to try in/around Wellington, but it certainly wasn't a bad experience. And, getting away from the downtown crowd was nice.

After a stunning recommendation from my business partner, I visited Celcius with him yesterday…read morewhile on a short business trip to Wellington. First impression, great vibe, cheerful staff and a good menu with stuff this very picky eater would like. The cabinet equally had some yummy food that looked tempting. Unfortunately I was coffee'd out by the time I got to Celcius, but there was a constant stream of people from local businesses' coming in for coffee, so that is always a great indicator.. My meal was a 9/10. The ambience was pleasant and this was mid morning, mid week and it was busy. They also had a variety of coffee beans, plus freshly ground coffee for sale at reasonable prices. Next time in Wellington, I'll make sure I go out of my way just to have a meal here. Well done team !!

Food Apart from the regular card which includes sashimi, nigiri, California rolls and a couple of…read morewarm dishes from the kitchen (you can take a look at it online), there is a wide variety of highly interesting daily specials. Good sushi, nothing to take your breath away, but also nothing to complain about. No desserts (except for those of both liquid and alcoholic nature). Drinks A very broad choice of alcoholic beverages including Japanese sake, Japanese beer, domestic wines and a selection of japanised classical cocktails. Atmosphere They are called lounge for a reason, it's a mixture of a sushi bar and a bar, which also serves warm food. I guess it makes sence that they serve izakaya style dishes here, izakaya being traditional drinking establishments in Japan. Staff Nice and helpful. Value for Money Invest in specials, for NZ$15-30 you get something far more exciting than NZ$15-40 sushi platters. Conclusion If you want to spend an exciting evening here, don't go to have a dinner, go for a drink and don't forget to get some food.

Food and service, an overall disappointing experience at a supposedly acclaimed establishment. We…read morecame here last week for a friend's birthday and it was very upsetting when the friend's whose birthday it was had to apologize to everyone (although none of us were upset with her). Rather the restaurant was at best 25% full and it took us over an hour and a half to get our order. In fact, couples who were seated after us received their food before us. In no way is this an appropriate manner to serve patrons. There was no update on when our food would be served and the waiters barely came to our table. A simple "we are short on staff your order will be late" would have been nice. And when we did get food, there were around 5 napkins on the table for 8 people. We asked for more, 2 minutes passed, (at this point the restaurant was at even less capacity than our start) and nothing came. When I walked up to ask for napkins, it seemed that this simple request was already forgotten by the wait staff. And finally the food - although it looks nice on Instagram it was a let down. The food is very fatty and greasy and if you are looking for a healthy vegetarian meal this is not the place. Overall - I highly do not recommend coming here unless you want to be disappointed.
