Joe's Garage Wellington

A stone's throw away from Wellington's iconic Te Papa, Joe's Garage is a cafe, bar and grill in the centre of the capital.

It's the perfect place to unwind after a day in the bustling city. It's garage vibes with feel good tunes, instantly give it that chill factor; and with high tables and bar stools lining the middle of the dining area, you might even make some new pals! But first, let's befriend the menu.

It offers honest, hearty grub and some delicious meaty mains. Try the Autobahn, their take on a beautifully seasoned beef schnitzel with tasty gravy, or go for a chicken dish the Easy Tiger salad, with free range chicken rubbed in harissa spices. The Clever Trevor is a Kiwi classic, mince and fried free range eggs on sourdough toast, while Joe's Fried chicken and kumara fries are next level. Vegetarians can take their pick from freshly hand rolled pizza menu, or the huge Vege Local.

Accompany your meal cravings with a refreshing beer, or go all out Joe's style, with cocktails and boozy coffee treats. If you're taking it easy, their Big Boy shakes and cold pressed juice also hit the spot.
