Chocolate Fish Cafe

Couldn't believe how good the service and food was. Set up brilliantly for kids to play in bikes and scooters. V highly rated.

Great setting - indoors and outdoors. Awesome play ground for the children. Very quick service - no longer than ten minutes. Food was really awesome. Would go again.

Really great place to go. Food superb great atmosphere area outside for the kids to play bikes etc. Across from the sea. A great family outing for everyone.

Had a brekkie outing for my nieces 2nd birthday. Great kids menu. She loved the food & the outside play area. Friendly fast service! Thank you Chocolate Fish cafe!

What can I say. One of the busiest days iv seen them have. Short staffed and the head chef running the food. And yet. No dissapointments what's so ever, the triple B burger is possibly the finest burger I have ever had. Perfect proportions and just an excellent amount of sauce. The pate is a must and the coffee never disappoints

Lovely whitebait fritters and pork sammies served in special surroundings, outside on superb day. Highly recommended and iconic

Extremely fast service. Lovely food and wonderful n friendly staff. No wonder its so popular. Great indoor n outdoor seating option. Really well run during the trying times.

This is an awesome cafe with heaps of kai moana! Whitebait fritters are a must and if you have kids sit outside. They have a tramp and bikes for the kids to play on.

Great food, coffee, service, environment and clean as a whistle bathrooms. Indoor outdoor seating opportunities, beautiful outlook into the Evans Bay basin and out to Wellington Harbour. Go!

Excellent food, wide choice, interesting artwork lovely seating both inside and out. Nice view of the sea. Really nice staff. Will definitely go back.

Lovely place to stop off for a coffee and something to eat. Friendly, efficient staff, consistently good food and drinks and a great atmosphere.
There are choices for seating options, inside, outside out the back which is a closed in conservatory, outside on the grass, outside on the deck or outside on the concrete under sun shades.
Dogs and children are welcome here, there is a supply of dog biscuits and water bowls for the 4 legged friends and for the children there is a great menu along with bikes, a trampoline and climbing toys to keep them amused.
Chocolate Fish only have a grill to prepare hot food so have a wide variety of hot Sandwiches and other great stuff but no hot chips.
We love to meet friends here as there are lovely big tables and it is great to bring out of town guests as it is a little bit different.

Warm, friendly service, nice food and good coffee! The Chocolate Fish cafe provides an awesome atmosphere and is in a beautiful location, will definitely be back (again)

Highly recommend. Great, prompt service. Pretty sweet kai too. We had a very informative overview from our waiter which was ideal as this was our first visit. Waiter offered to serve a variety of sammie choices which suited us. We chose a sammie each and shared. OMG! If you're after pleasing your sweet tooth.a MEAN AS carrot cake + other delicious food.
Only disappointment was the water for our table. The water wasn't nice at all. We politely mentioned this to the waitress. She offered to bring more water.
This spot is a MUST GO!

The only time when I didn't have to plan anything or to go anywhere was in Wellington. After 5 hours driving all the way down from Taupo, the last thing that I wanted was to think on what to eat. Lucky for me, a dear friend of mine, Sean, was being a good host. Not only he extended his hospitality by inviting me to stay at his place, he also took good care of me all the time while I was in the capital of New Zealand.

So instead of bringing me to nearby place, he drove all the way to Shelly Bay which was located on the Miramar Peninsula. It is a very nice cafe with an equally nice sea view. Bummer that it was drizzling when we reached (also the fact that it was winter so the weather was very cold).

The kids took an instant liking to the cafe right away - spacious & cosy! This cafe is famous for sammies - seriously I only understood what sammies are when the food was served in front of me.sandwiches!

Some of the sammies that we had - fresh fish of the day, bacon & egg, streaky bacon, and also Angus beef burger! Needless to say, everything was prepared from scratch and served hot. We had a tummy warming sandwiches for breakfast and left the cafe happily.

Apart from sammies, they also serve bagels and burgers too. Normally the cafe will be packed on weekends and when it is sunny.

Also tried their almond butter toast - and got the fully loaded version that included honey, sliced bananas and cocoa nibs. They warned me this wouldn't be great for takeout. And I'm glad to have the chance to sit in and enjoy this - it was very filling and each bite was perfect. Healthy, naturally sweet and wholesome. They also had some beautiful scones - didn't order any but will be back to try one.

Restaurant with a view. Love the sammie with fresh catched fish. Tried its Reuben and it was pretty good too.

A variety of seating sites be outdoors indoors or a mix of both. Gorgeous views if outside. Coffee amazing food delectable and fabulous front and back staff.

Maybe the best burger I’ve ever eaten. This is one of those hideaway kiwi gems that I hopes lives on forever! Food and drinks were unbelievable!

This place is such a gem in Wellington. Awesome setting and a really interesting menu. Don't go if your tastes are bland! Would recommend the toasted sandwiches.

I often came here when I lived in Wellington. I mostly ordered milkshakes, and I liked how they came with a chocolate fish as topping (meaning that this place lives up to its name!).
