The Lido Cafe

Nice little cafe / restaurant. Has a good location and really friendly staff. They do combination of German / french cuisine. Plates are a fairly good size despite the advice fr the waiter 😂 (we wished we ordered less) The only downside is the space. It can get bit too crowded and cozy. Prices are ok-ish for what it is

Wow! Beautiful meal here tonight. We've been coming here for years....it's got better and better. We love the Tapas menu. Its the new way of eating....abit of everything. Tonight we tried cocktails for the first time and they were perfectly made, sweet but not sickly...alcoholic but not bitter and drunken. It's dark and intimate...dark, smouldering glow. After 20 years, the Lido continues to be my favourite Wellington restaurant....actually Aotearoa and that's saying something. Come here and leave your ego and hangups at the door...it's a chill place for very chill people only...

Lido is consistently one of my favourite cafes in Wellington. The coffee and food are delicious (and it certainly helps that they have a well rounded wine list and selection of brunch cocktails!) The service is always welcoming and lovely, whether you're there with a group or by yourself, in for a quick coffee or lingering for the afternoon; it's the perfect spot for all situations! I haven't been in for dinner yet, but can't wait to do so. I recently had the corn and haloumi fritters and they were delicious! Good flavours, very filling, with a light salad and tasty chutney on the side to cut through it. Perfect with a glass of red for a late lunch! Thanks to everyone at Lido!
