Father's Day is the perfect excuse to get everyone around the table. Whether Dad's idea of a great meal is a waterfront lunch, a classic pub favourite or a craft beer with bold bites, we have plenty of great places to celebrate in Wellington. Here's where to book this Father's Day.
For Dads who love a long lunch in the sun by the water, Coene's is hard to beat. Right on Oriental Parade, it's an ideal place to settle in for the afternoon. Order comforting fare like Beef Cheek with truffle mash or Market Fish with braised fennel and white bean ragout and settle in to enjoy the waterfront view and relaxed atmosphere - raising a glass to Dad as you do so.

Want to shout Dad a culinary trip to California? Do it via a feast of LA-inspired street food at Rosie’s Red Hot Cantina. Gather the family around sharing plates like Rosie’s Best-in-Town Chicken Wings and Sweet Corn Ribs paired with chipotle mayo, and choose your own adventure via juicy tacos with fillings to suit every inclination. Don’t forget an ice-cold marg to refresh every bite.

If Dad's a craft beer fan, Tuatara Tap Room is a worthy destination. Right next door to the brewery, it's the place to enjoy freshest Tuatara brews straight from the source - alongside nibbles like the signature Burnt End Brisket Fries with cheese sauce and pickles, or Lucky Pork & Chive Dumplings paired with a Hazy Pale Ale. For a fun Father’s Day activity, order a craft beer flight with tasters of any four tap beers and compare tasting notes.

Dad deserves to be spoiled this Father's Day, and this calls for a perfectly cooked steak at Foxglove. Tuck into the 250g Angus Sirloin with creamy green peppercorn sauce, or maybe the rich Short Rigatoni Ragu with braised wagyu beef cheek is more Dad’s speed. Overlooking Wellington Harbour, Foxglove’s heritage surroundings are an ideal go-to for topnotch food and a glass of something special.
