Federal & Wolfe

Great place to eat in Federal street with great tasting food from their simple menu.

We had a pleasant lunch here. The food was good and it's priced at a fine-dining level and so I think it's fair to compare this restaurant to the real deal you'd find in Tokyo. The food was excellent by NZ standards but only average compared to what it could be. I'm rating "very good" to recognise it's good on...

Believe this has something to do with Kokako(?). Not up to the motherships standards if that is the case. Bit more grungy aka grimey. Decent coffee obviously and good food just no wow factor to make me go back. Good enough to keep in the memory bank for future though.

We were staying locally at a four star hotel and thought we would try a alternative to usual boring hotel breakfast. Federal & Wolfe was a great alternative. Menu is not large but range is good. Friendly staff and pleasant service. Basic, almost industrial fit out. Seemed very popular with local office workers.

I visit the wonderful staff at Federal and Wolfe as often as I can. Scrambled Eggs for Breakfast, toasted Brioche (Raspberry and White Chocolate). Also the best bottled water in town. If you need service with a ear to ear smile - it’s a must!!
