The Green Parrot Cafe

We did not have a reservation on a Sat. night, but still were seated quickly. We went there after a LOTR tour as I had read that the crew loved it. We found it very good. They were busy, but kept our water topped off. I had the lamb chops and loved them, and my family tried other dishes. None of us had room for dessert.

This place is a Wellington Icon, and has always been highly regarded as a place to dine. I am a vegetarian, so not really a lot of options for me.... but in general just not a menu to my tasting

If you eat here, be prepared to receive the biggest food portions you will ever see in Wellington. Highly recommend you don't eat at all before a helping of great steaks or at least not planning anything for after the meal other than a nap.

A Wellington institution. As long as you know what to expect with this place it can be enjoyable. White bread and butter is served to start, not my cup of tea but a tradition they haven’t changed. The servings are large, served with green salad and potato salad. Lamb chops, pork chops and schnitzel were ordered at our table and were all tasty.

Good, old fashioned style meals at reasonable prices. Good service overall too.
