Grand Century Chinese Restaurant

An immense eatery in the heart of Tory Street, Grand Century Chinese Restaurant is world-famous in Wellington.

This is where large groups reunite around generous lazy susans, where raucous laughter is never far away and where food is enjoyed in all its glory. Get the gang together for a sumptuous meal that'll leave you hitching a lift with the giant paper dragon home!

We don't want to see an inch of empty table space, so start as you mean to go on with an array of entrees. Steam it with some dim sum, deep fry it with some spring rolls or boil it with any of their moreish dumplings. Alternatively, slurp it with a wonton or hot and sour soup.

It's impossible to do this extensive menu any justice here, just know that all of NZ's finest seafood has been transformed into sizzling dishes that gleam in all kinds of sumptuous sauces. The likes of chicken, pork and lamb come in countless sticky, gingery and fiery forms while tofu and seasonal veggies are given a new lease of life. And with a selection of hotpots and noodles, that white shirt might not stay white for very long... but it's a risk worth taking!
