Eat well in Wellington, New Zealand's capital city

There are many reasons to visit the bustling streets that make up the neighborhoods of Wellington, New Zealand's capital city. From top restaurants to classy wine bars and cozy cafes, the more than 300 eateries to stop in could lead to plans of returning to "Windy Wellington" at least one more time before your medical job in New Zealand comes to an end.

On Cuba Street, one of the busiest avenues in the hub, you'll find renowned dining spots like Logan Brown, the culinary brainchild of Steve Logan and Al Brown. These popular celebrity chefs in the Land of the Long White Cloud emphasize a relaxed atmosphere and a menu that raises the bar of fine dining, with the best seasonal ingredients and most pungent flavors. Whether you visit for a glass of fine wine, a three-course meal from the bistro menu or an afternoon chat at high tea, you'll be sure to feel like an A-list patron at this highly acclaimed restaurant.

Another hot spot to check out is Martin Bosley's Yacht Club, where prominent Kiwis come out for the most beautifully presented and tasty seafood dishes in the capital city. When you visit, go all out with the Coastal Cuisine menu, a six-course sampling of the chef's personal favorites, paired with fine Kiwi wines if you desire.
