cafes

•All cafés, bars, restaurants, and clubs are non-smoking, but some places have outside areas where smoking is allowed.  •Tipping is not expected, but it is welcomed in New Zealand.  •Some restaurants say they are BYO; this means you can “Bring Your Own” wine or beer in for a small surcharge.  •Whilst we have a lively night culture in our city, many kitchens do close by 10 pm. •We recommend you call ahead or book online to book a table especially from Thurs – Sat.   •There are a couple of completely vegetarian and vegan restaurants in Wellington, but most eateries cater to vegetarians and vegans.
