What a treat to be able to challenge your taste sensibilities with such an amount of different flavours and textures.
Attentive staff always on hand to clear the clutter and fill the glasses and provide a help on what you are ordering.
This was the one place we expected good food, but the experience was more around how the different ingredients can provide a contrasting taste based on what you decide to use in that mouthful.
You could get three different taste experiences from the one plate.
Not the choice for cheap and cheerful, but for spoiling and feeling special with the associated price.
We had the Scallops and Venison starters followed by the Chicken and Salmon mains. Oh and a few cocktails.
My wife & I stayed here at the Museum Apartment Hotel midway through our honeymoon/vacation (mid-March 2025). We decided to dine at its rooftop restaurant the first night and it was fantastic! Friendly staff (especially with drink recommendations), amazing food & classy ambiance. We were the last ones to leave for the night and they were very accommodating to making sure we enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend for a nice, upscale Wellington night, even if you’re not a hotel guest! 😊
I have lived in Wellington for the past 10 years and this have been the best food experience I had in this town. I only believe that it will be topped by another visit to it.
The hosts made us felt like we were at home and provided us with great service and food, no requests was too much we had everything we asked for and more!
The food was sensational, a treat to to the palate and is always fresh, the menu is seasonal so my pictures may not represent the current menu but it rather representes the experience and quality of it self.
Thanks to the Hippopotamus staff fir helping me arranging my wife’s birthday surprise you guys are awesome.
