I hadn't been to Egmont Eatery for a while and noticed the interior decor and layout had changed which looked amazing. The service was top-notch. I can honestly say that it's one of the best attentive restaurant service that I've ever experienced in Wellington. The waitering staff were friendly, helpful and able to answer all of my questions about the menu and food options, which is how it should be.
The food was incredible. We started with the comte (cheese) souffle and focaccia bread, which was very different but amazing. For mains we had the grilled octopus, spiced lamb ribs with a side of asparagus. You could see how much effort had gone into each of these dishes. They were all delicious and the asparagus was perfectly cooked.
For dessert we had the poached pear. This was probably our least favourite dish of the night as the pear was quite firm. I was expecting the pear to be a lot softer and easier to cut into and it would've been great if it was accompanied with a yummy caramel/butterscotch sauce.
I'll definitely be going back there.
The cornbread is so good I went back for brunch twice in one week. Great service, lovely place to sit with coffee and food and a book. Accommodated a peanut and shellfish allergy with confidence.
Had a great experience here while visiting Wellington. The place was busy so we took bar stools by the kitchen, which I would recommend as the chef still made time to chat to us about the food, rugby and other things. We felt very welcomed by him and the whole staff.
The food was top class. Definitely try out their homemade preserve. Could not recommend this place enough, a highlight of Wellington from two Irish tourists š
