Within a charming city terrace, this tiny house transforms into a culinary haven where magic happens. Their ‘trust-the-chef’ three-course menu is booked in advance by Wellingtonians who love good food and it showcases the very best local and seasonal produce. The intimate setting is inviting with warm lighting, elegant glassware and a smooth jazz soundtrack that sets the perfect mood. A meal may start with duck breast in a salad of beets and fresh coriander, chilli lime and cumin, followed by steamed bluenose in a delicate tomato broth with a punchy romesco sauce and, to finish, crispy meringue, basil yoghurt ice, passionfruit cream and raspberry. A new three-course menu every night means we can’t tell you exactly what you will eat, but we can guarantee you an unforgettable, unpretentious dining experience with some super-clever wine pairs.
