Pomelo Kitchen & Bar

Beautiful food and amazing views and service! It was my first time here and the food was so good, we had dumplings, cauliflower special, lemongrass steak salad special and the lamb cutlets. Everything was yummy and had such good flavours. Staff were so friendly and attentive and I love the atmosphere. I only got photos of the specials which were the five spice cauliflower and lemongrass steak but it was all delicious. Definitely coming back! 😍💕

This place has been on the cards for a few years after they took over from the white house over 5 years ago (it was a long card) and we were happy with what they had on offer! The white house was a cosy, intimate homely house look, while pomelo had a beautiful modern look, open plan with nice big windows to look at the beautiful night view of oriental bay, one of the most romantic places we've dined at as a group! They were great at accommodating to our group, we had one allergy they tended to, and they changed up the portion size so we could each have a piece instead of fighting over 5 pieces between 7 ppl. We somehow ordered mostly deep fried small plates but they were well executed and not greasy, a light and crunchy texture with a nice flavour and/or sauce. What stood out to me the most were the deep fried mushroom (daily special), fried eggplant, the beef ribs, and their Panna Cotta. A very nice, no frills and no bombs, 7.5/10

Nice punchy flavour. Once upstairs it’s lovely with a nice view over oriental bay at the front or a private table at Eve rear the bar. Lovely staff, loved the crispy soft shell crab, crispy chicken, beef short rib was drop off the bone tender and loaded with flavour. Highly recommend. Good selection of wines too

Wellington’s hidden gem! Truly a shame that more people don’t know about this restaurant because it is some of the best food that I’ve had in Wellington. Lovely atmosphere, stunning views and very friendly staff. Would highly recommend the red duck curry with the BEST Roti ever and can’t go wrong with any of the small plates as they are all delicious.

Easily the best restaurant in Wellington. Stunning views over oriental bay with an attentive and kind staff! Everything on the menu is delicious but if you can only try one thing (which would be a huge mistake) make it their duck curry, the sauce is fantastic and it’s the best duck I’ve eaten in my life!
