Cable Top Eatery

Great food, Terrific service and fantastic views. You can catch the cable car up, have lunch and walk back. There are two museums a perfumery and the cable car museum up top and a botanic garden

Biggest mussels I’ve ever had, nice views of the city, and a bumping playlist of American hits (particularly r&b)

Di and team were absolutely amazing for our daughter and son in-laws wedding would recommend them highly. We had the option of indoor or out door and to be able to have the ceremony and reception in this beautiful space was amazing.
Thank you all for a fantastic wedding.

Great spit at the top of the cable car. If you can get a seat in the deck, the views are wonderful. Great staff. Excellent food.

We stopped in for some quick espressos to enjoy on the patio after exploring around the gardens in the afternoon. Staff was friendly and our drinks didn’t take long. The cafe is adorable with lanterns hanging from the ceiling, and views over the entire Wellington coastline. Great for a sunny afternoon! The outdoor patio is set up with taller bar tables as well as longer wooden tables with benches. We didn’t partake in the food but the menu also looked good! Would recommend checking out for breakfast or brunch, or an afternoon coffee and snack.

Great decor very fresh and open with fabulous views of the city.
I had the Bene, it was just delicious, the ham was sweet with poached eggs on top and the most tasty potato cake, I washed this down with 2 long blacks, yes 2 because the coffee was sooo good.
Staff were friendly and efficient, to be honest I can not find anything that I did not enjoy. It was just a wonderful experience with great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Exceptional New York style cheesecake!

Have not had a meal here though. A friend once got the muscles and loved them.

Their selection of cakes and slices changes regularly. The cheesecake is not always there, either.

Wonderful location, and venue for a celebration, but left with bitter taste of two $85 parking (wife and myself having to drive separately) tickets when attending a function on a Saturday evening, not expecting that a carpark immediately adjacent to the restaurant would not be available for patrons to use. Wilson Parking will be capitalising on most reasonable peoples expectation that it would be a Council carpark, as it is next to the cable car (it is not) and not charge on weekend evenings (it is!) Of course it is not in Wilsons interest to make this very obvious to people.

It would be a great service to guests of the Cable Top Cafe, for them to place a clear warning at the door for it's guests so people may be prevented from making the dumb mistake we did.

Great food, great service - waiter for our table was hilarious and full of personality. The views over Wellington harbour are stunning.

Great place cor breakfast after taking a ride in the Wellington Cable Car. The views arw breath taking as you look out across the city. The food is VERY good and the service and staff were excellent. We had the " Bene " with ham on the bone and it waa delic. Go on get up there and try it yourself.

The best wedding venue! Cable car up to beautiful views, an amazing venue with delicious food and awesome staff. Thank you for hosting our surprise wedding!

Worst service I've ever received in Wellington. Just went in to order an ice coffee and juice. Lady at the counter was visibly annoyed and deferred any questions to the menus on the walls (which wasn't what I was asking for). Suddenly walked off half way through the order for somebody else to take over. We sat outside to have our drinks as the inside is chaotic and hot. We clearly have a baby in a pram with us, but their staff comes and lights a cigarette next to us. Zero consideration or care for customers.

Had a lovely light lunch yesterday with Wonderful service & Great laughs with 'Gok'! The recommended Rose' wine went down well too! THANKS SO MUCH, Julie aka Mrs Brown! I have attached photos x

An amazing experience at the Cable Top Eatery. Fabulous service and menu. The food is delicious. Definitely worth the effort.

Lunch @ Cable Top Eatery.
.
Packed during meal times thanks to its fantastic view of the city from the verenda, Cable Top Eatery is an oasis for those taking in the sights in the area.
.
The Beer Battered Tarakihi Fillet, Lemon, Tartare, Steak Cut Chips (NZD $23) is possibly the lightest lunch meal on their menu.
.
This has fresh fillets of lean tender flaky tarakihi fish, coated in a crisp golden beer batter, crunching lightly to release pleasant mild sweet savoury salty flavour.
.
The medium steak cut potato chips are light and fluffy and crisp, with good starchy salty savoury sweet flavour.
.
A drizzle of lemon juice for a tangy zesty sour note, paired with thick tomato ketchup with vegetal sweet sour flavour, and creamy tartar sauce with milky sour sweet flavour, to complete.
.
Served piled high in a mesh basket, the Kumara Chips With Aioli And Tomato Ketchup (NZD $12) are made from medium cut strips of kumara, the New Zealand variety of sweet potato, of which there are 4 kinds, red, orange, purple, and gold.
.
With a crisp exterior and fluffy interior, the kumara chips have enticing vegetal earthy sweet starchy flavour. Paired with thick tomato ketchup with vegetal sweet sour flavour, and a creamy aioli with milky savoury sweet notes.
.
The Chocolate Afghan Biscuit (NZD $5) is a decadent snack. The biscuit itself has a soft sticky dense texture, while the topping of chocolate icing is creamy thick, contrasted by the crunch of walnut pieces on top.
.
Has a chocolately sweet nutty flavour. A bit too much for my palate though, it's a really rich dessert.

Enjoy our lunch here. Food was great. View was excellent. Service was attentive. Highly recommended if you are in town and visitting Botanical garden.

Fantastic fungji pizza. Despite being slammed with work the staff were super helpful and made sure we got lunch quickly as we were on a tight schedule. Delicious

Waited for 30min with a hungry 2 year old in a half body cast for them to take another 10minutes to give us our money back because they didn't process our order

Fantastic atmosphere, fantastic service. Loved the recommendations from staff. Super busy which is always a good sign. Definitely on the list of must go again.

Came here for our 20th Wedding anniversary lunch today.
Fantastic service, amazing views, and delicious food.
Highly recommend.
