One80° Restaurant

A glittering diamond in the Wellington dining scene, One80 Restaurant not only offers some of the finest gastronomy in the city, but also enjoys one of the most covetable views. And yes, the name is a clue into what this view might entail.

Located in Copthorne Hotel Wellington on Oriental Bay, One80 indulges diners with a panoramic view of the capital's impressive CBD alongside the big blue. Where water, modern architecture and lush green surrounds meet for a truly impressive outlook, this is the city from a truly unique perspective. Inside One80, its resplendent and cosmopolitan, luxury furniture and glossy wooden tables serve as the only decoration to allow the view to speak for itself.

They present a one-of-a-kind cuisine in which Indian flavours are prepared using traditional French techniques. Using only trusted, local suppliers, you can enjoy the likes of pure Angus Beef Wellington with a silky béarnaise sauce and truffled potatoes. From Canterbury comes world-class lamb that's submerged in Indian spices for a Hyderabadi braised lamb shank whilst Ora king salmon is baptised in a Goan coconut curry with fennel. As for NZ's favourite pork belly, you will find that with black eye beans, apple and kale.

Finally, indulge your senses in the culinary bliss that is French patisserie. From velvety chocolate tarts to seasonal macaron and chocolate truffles, One80 doesn't hold back when it comes to pure decadence. And we don't hear anyone complaining.
