Floriditas

In the heart of Wellington’s Cuba Street dining precinct lies Floriditas, a chic café and restaurant with a reputation for providing memorable dining experiences.

In a stunning, light and airy setting, this modern eatery invites you to celebrate the finest of Wellington’s cuisine and hospitality.

Breakfasts, brunches, lunches, or dinners: the menu at Floriditas is there to inspire and excite, with a blend of European and New Zealand flavours influencing the dishes. Think house-made focaccia, kingfish sashimi and dashi jelly on a seaweed cracker or Cambridge smoked duck breast with golden kumara. For vegetarians, spinach pappardelle with autumn vegetables, broccoli, and pine nuts is not to be missed. The kitchen team puts an emphasis on quality ingredients sourced from around New Zealand and makes the most of nature's various seasonal larders.

With a drinks list that spans every corner of the globe, enjoy a glass of Otago wine, like the excellent Wet Jacket chardonnay, or for something more exotic, you will do well to savour a glass of Sierra Cantabria rioja. Whatever you choose, make sure to leave room for a sweet treat such as their salted caramel tart or brown sugar pavlova served with tamarillos, mandarin, and speculaas cream.

Whatever time of the day you visit, Floriditas is always bustling, full of laughter and awash with Wellington’s colourful cultural vibrancy. Being the most-loved café in the city has made that happen, and the restaurant continues to be praised for its attention to detail, seasonal providence, and simply great food and service.
