What People Say

"Hillside is our favourite dining experience in Aotearoa NZ. We try to go every time we are in Wellington and it never disappoints."

Reviewers consistently praise the delicious, thoughtfully crafted food and exceptional service, highlighting a unique and memorable dining experience.

"Unique, sustainable, memorable! A special treat. Expect to spend at least 3 hours here and it’s much more fun if you take in all the info the servers have to share about the local farms and ingredients! The one thing lacking was ambience; could definitely be more lively and playlist was stale."

"What a lovely evening! We enjoyed exquisitely prepared food, made with lots of love. Fantastic service, very friendly and informative. I love the emphasis on healthy food and using what’s in the garden, as well as supporting other local providers. Highly recommend!"

"Overall, we recommend Hillside Kitchen. Hillside is our favourite dining experience in Aotearoa NZ. We try to go every time we are in Wellington and it never disappoints."

"Hillside Kitchen is popular among many travelers for its warm, knowledgeable, and accommodating service that creates a welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant is celebrated for its exceptional value, with creative and high-quality tasting menus that justify the higher price point."
