Coene's Bar & Eatery

Boasting some of the best views the Wellington waterfront has to offer, Coene's pairs its idyllic surroundings with an international menu that will have you coming back time and again.

With dinky ships, the glimmering big blue, and Somes Island in the near distance, Coene's lets Wellington in all its beauty pour in. Their chic patio is the perfect place to soak it all in, but if the Welly winds are driving you inside, their spacious, relaxed dining room is always ready to welcome you. And with an entirely glass wall looking out to sea, no one's missing out.

Diners are in for a treat, and you'll know what we mean once you see the house-smoked fish served with poached eggs and hollandaise, saffron seafood risotto, and soy-glazed pork belly on the menu. Who's to say if your dining partner will get an equal share?

Take your pick of the pub classics, like lamb rump with Mediterranean sides and pan-fried fish that simply bursts with the fruits of the ocean. Should you feel inclined, a side of heirloom carrots in saffron and coconut sauce, fries with aioli, and portobello mushroom in butter truly elevate the evening.
