For the brunch people, long lunch people, yum cha people and family dinner people. Whatever your Sunday looks like, there's a table waiting with your name on it.
Sundays aren't one-size-fits-all. Some call for seaside air and strong coffee, others for copious amounts of dumplings, long lunches that roll into the afternoon, or an easy family dinner with no dishes at the end. However your Sunday usually looks, there's plenty happening across our bars, pubs, and restaurants to make the most of it.
There's no better way to start a Sunday than with panoramic views of Rangitoto, a strong coffee, and that neighbourly St Heliers buzz. Moretons is a beachfront favourite for a reason, bistro-quality food, premium NZ beers, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to linger. Pull up a seat by the water and let the morning stretch out.
Sun on your face, harbour at your feet, and a menu that spans the globe without leaving the waterfront. Coenes is Wellington's go-to for a relaxed Sunday brunch done properly, fresh NZ ingredients, an open deck, and the kind of laid-back energy that makes it hard to leave before lunch turns into an afternoon.
Right on the water's edge at Princes Wharf, The Lula Inn is where Sunday long lunches were made for. Every week they're serving up a proper sit-down experience, $59pp gets you canapés paired with a glass of Cloudy Bay bubbles, followed by an entrée and main of your choice, all with live jazz and ocean views as your backdrop.
Part Italian feast, part Kiwi get-together. Goode Brothers does Sundays the way they should be done. A five-course spread made for sharing, long tables, and that easy Kiwitalian energy that turns a lunch into an evening without anyone noticing.
Serious about dumplings? Same. Every Sunday, Master Kong serves up all-you-can-eat (and drink) Kong Cha, steamer baskets, buns, and bold Asian street food that just keeps coming. Big sharing tables, killer cocktails, and enough food to keep everyone happy. No half measures here.
Sunday dinner sorted, no cooking required. Goode Brothers has the pizza, pasta, and kiwi classics covered, plus a table big enough for the whole crew. Turn up hungry, leave happy, and let someone else do the dishes for once.
However your Sunday looks, we've got a spot for you. Find your nearest Star Group venue and see what's on this week.
