Thanks for showing off my hometown so fantastically! Being a foodie too it made me super proud of lil' old Wellington.

I worked over the road from The Green Parrot from 1974 to 1979 and every Friday night after work a group of us would eat dinner before partying on the town.
My favourite was Fillet Steak & 🥗 with chips 😋😋😋
The Cafe was smaller then because MotoUnits Auto Electrical was next door....
Every time I'm in Wellington it's my first place for a meal👌🏻
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you so much for this video! I love how much you talk about the childish joy of beautiful food and drink! You really bring out the fun of eating interesting and delicious meals! I have a trip coming up in July and will definitely be hitting up some of these suggestions!

I lived in Wellington for about 5 years and still haven't been to many of the ones you mentioned so I'm excited!
