New Zealand Tour & Travel Guide - Eating Out in New Zealand

A typical New Zealand meal comprises roast lamb, gravy and vegetables. Kumara is a favorite indigenous sweet potato – it’s a popular component of the Maori feast cooked in an earth oven (a hole in the ground). Being a coastal region, seafood is found across the country and includes whitebait, bluff oysters, tuatua (local clams) and pipi (similar to tuatua). Barbecues are also a common pastime.

White Lady

This is a mobile burger bus that has been feeding fast food to late-night boozers in Auckland since the '50s. The burgers are huge and greasy and most delicious while bathed in the neon glow of the late-night city.

Fidel’s

Go to this Cuba St institution in Wellington for eggs, pizzas, amazing salads downed with Welly’s best milkshakes. Don’t forget to  check out the revolutionary memorabilia on the walls of the funky interior, while chomping down the delicious meala. It has a nice outdoor as well.

Dine by Peter Gordon

Definitely one of Auckland's top restaurants, the a la carte menu at Dine by Peter Gordon offers mouth-watering fare such as miso marinated Akaroa salmon on roast kumara with a sweet-corn ginger puree and roast Cambridge duck breast with Spanish black-bean puree and cranberry galangal compote.

Espressoholic

For all you caffeine addicts, this grungy café with chipped black tables and colorful graffiti art stays open until late hours in Wellington, keeping your tummy full with a good veggie selection, cool music and a courtyard.

Chow

A stylish pan-Asian restaurant-cum-bar, Chow is home of the legendary blue cheese and peanut wonton and offers intriguingly odd cocktails. Its interiors are adorned with an interesting décor preparing the right combo of good food and conversation. Make sure to stop by here during your visit to Wellington.

One Red Dog

Get a late night weekend drink at this bustling, up market brewery pub in Wellington. You can order a gourmet pizza, pasta, calzone or salad. The pub is frequented mostly by families and youngsters and always has a festive atmosphere.
