New Wellington Openings You Should Visit This Month
Despite the ever-changing weather making staying at home with a packet of chips more appealing that going out for a three-course meal with matched wine, Wellington's still opening plenty of new restaurants, cafes and bars — and getting people into them, too. Seems every week we're ranting and raving about the latest newbie, bringing its own proposed offering/theming/novelty viral food item to this fine city of ours. Here's a useful little list for you to get excited about, in case you're despondent over having eaten at Every Wellington Venue Ever. Take heart, there's plenty more where that came from.
