So in the first of my (intended) weekly reminder of Wellington foodie gems, I’m thinking back to dinner at the new WBC restaurant and bar from the Capitol folks (upstairs on Victoria above Tatsushi), and Saturday’s double breakfast of cake followed by cronut (did I mention the slightly sweet tooth yet?). So, WBC. Named for […]
This post is an introduction since the folks at Wellingtonista have kindly invited me to join their merry band (and I now have an unexpected day off since the office is closed). So a little about me …. I LOVE Wellington, food, events, eating experiences, movies, solo Saturday morning wanders, soaking up the city vibe, […]
It’s winter, which means the Wellingtonista’s thoughts turn to warming food to warm ourselves up. What’s more warming than the lovely hug of carbohydrates? The double hug of at least two kinds of carbs at once! With that in mind, here are some of our favourite carb-on-carb experiences in Wellington: Mac’n cheese sliders at Pickle. […]

Handily the good people […]
If you think the restaurant that sits on the corner of Cuba and Vivian Streets, alongside Frutti, and opposite Logan Brown serves a) food and b) Mexican food then you are sorely mistaken and should get yourself to La Boca Loca asap. Don’t even finish reading this. Get in a car, a bus, on a […]
Do you ever wonder what happens at the end of the day to the freshly made bread that Wellington bakeries can’t sell? Do you ever wonder what happens to the fresh fruit and vegetables at the markets that are still edible but not good enough to sell? I can tell you. For the last few […]
A lot of people I know, myself included, have had a rough couple of weeks, so let’s talk about nice things instead! Specifically, let’s talk about Karma Cola and Gingerella.
