A grand-café-style restaurant on Cuba Street in Te Aro, Wellington, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and in business since 2005. The website says it takes its inspiration from the European grand cafés, but with a less formal, more Wellington feel. The cooking follows the seasons, with New Zealand produce and European technique, and the menu changes with what is in season. The website names asparagus, strawberries, elderflower, sorrel, damson plums, quince, feijoas, blood oranges and line-caught Cook Strait blue cod as examples. The café is known for its cheese scones and for its coffee. It has a classic wine list.
Reservations are taken any day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. On weekend brunch and public holidays the café takes walk-ins only. Gift cards are sold for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The website quotes no customer comments and gives no prices, parking or children's details, so there is no view here on what diners say.
