Wellington is famous for its food.
Despite the array of choice, sometimes it can be a challenge to know where to go to get something light and delicious in Wellington. There are so many places where you can buy fabulous food in the city, but I also don't necessarily want to break the bank. Here are some great food and drink that you can pick up for under a $20 note in the Capital.
The best food and drink under $20...
Go grab sushi from O'Sushi at Moore Wilsons (IMO the best, freshest sushi in the city)... (around $10-$20 depending on how greedy you are)...
Snap up a sour Lemmy Lemonade from Karma Cola - this is my favourite in the range of ethical soda's that they produce, just moreish enough to keep on downing them, maybe with a little gin... (around $4)
A flat white from People's Coffee is a favourite, served in their flagship in Newtown or the many other places that serve them around Wellington such as newly opened Bicycle Junction on Marion Street ...they're fair trade too - YAYA! (around $3.5)...
Banana and goji berry chia seed pudding from Mojo Coffee... seasonal breakfasts - this is a great alternative to traditional muesli (around $10)...
A healthy bit of pho and spring rolls for Fishermans Plate on Bond Street... so crispy, so brothy, so filling and cheap...(around $15)...
Delicious Kombucha from the wonderful former Wellington company Good Buzz Kombucha...once you start drinking Kombucha, you'll be hooked. Not only is it delicious but it is good for your gut with pro-biotics...(around $4)...
Wellington Chocolate Factory Chocolate... available at New World Wellington or from their flagship store on Eva Street...there are so many different limited edition types that you can buy from this incredible bean to bar artisanal brand that you'll be spoilt for choice...(around $12)...
Burger Liquor has an amazing basic burger which is only $14 and it makes my heart sing every time I eat it. A soft brioche bun, loads of pickles and mustard...I'm already drooling - keep your fancy burgers, I'll have the standard...
A sublime soda from Six Barrel Soda has to be had. So refreshing on a cold or hot day...it feels like these guys have every flavour under the sun including celery - which personally I'm a big fan of...(around $5)...
Something from the menu at Modern Asian Restaurant Mr Go's will always hit the spot...I love their fried Tofu - perfect for a quick bite on the go (small plates from $8)...
Pastry from Pandoro Bakery, a long established Wellington foodie institution, will hit the spot when you need something sweet. Make sure you have a coffee too (around $5)...
Toast from Fix & Fogg is now being served from their hole in the wall on Eva Street...smokey with pickles or fruit toast? The choice is yours!! (around $5 - $14)...
