High-Kut Bistro is a restaurant at 21 Victoria Avenue in the city centre of Whanganui. It has a 4.7 rating from 175 Google reviews. Its website describes it as a one-of-a-kind dining experience with homemade food and first-class service.
The website lists brunch and lunch on Friday to Sunday from 10am to 2pm, and dinner on Tuesday to Sunday from 5pm to 9pm. It also says set menus are available for groups of 15 or more during the Christmas function season in November and December, and that private functions can be booked. Bistros in small cities often fill up on Friday and Saturday evenings and during the Christmas season, so booking ahead is sensible. Group dinners are easier to plan with a set menu, so ask the restaurant about options before you choose a date.
For a homemade meal or a group function in central Whanganui, this bistro is a good choice on Victoria Avenue.
