Description
Wellington is NZʻs food capital — more restaurants and cafés per capita than New York. The cityʻs food identity: world-class coffee culture (the flat white was arguably perfected here), Logan Brown (Al Brownʻs pāua ravioli), Hiakai (Fisoʻs Māori fine dining), Ortega Fish Shack (kaimoana as the star), Capitol (modern tasting menus), and the Visa Wellington On a Plate festival (NZʻs largest food festival, every August). Wellington is where Garth lived. It is the city where NZ food became world-class. The Wellington-Wairarapa connection: Martinborough pinot noir (an hourʻs drive) pairs with everything Wellington cooks.
