Awesome outdoor seating. Went here with some work colleagues and it was a bit windy but you can’t beat the nice views.
Service was really quick.
Do feel it is a little overpriced for the portions they give but would still go back.
super blown away by this cafe. it was our first time going there & it was packed with people due to the beautiful weather, yet the service was still super fast. i had the salmon bagel & i was pleasantly surprised by the smokiness of the salmon. my partner got the pork belly sandwich & raved about it. super interesting menu with a huge variety.
Dinky little cafe out by the seaside. Space is rather limited but that is in no way a reflection on the great food and service the provide here. Decent coffee as well.
Came here for a late brunch and it was very busy
The staff are very friendly and we took our dog as well as we were eating outside.
Dog bowls are available and fresh cold water as well, a male staff member even gave our dog a biscuit.
My wife had the Fish Cakes and my daughter had the Vegan Burger and I had the Reuben Sandwich which we washed down with a bottle of Pinot Noir.
We will definitely come back as the staff made us all feel welcome.
We make the drive out to Chocolate Fish often as its just the most beautiful location and the plentiful outdoor seating really makes the most of it. The food is always fantastic, the decor is super cute, and the set up outside is very child friendly. Best place to be on a sunny day
Went here on a busy Sunday lunchtime and the service was fantastic. Good parking space available too.
The man behind the counter was really friendly, explained the menu to us and even showed us examples of the food on the menu that was being made in the kitchen as he spoke. Enough staff on to cater to the busy Sunday afternoon which was nice. All friendly too.
The food was very tasty. Lots of variety on the menu. Reasonably priced. We ordered three kitchen meals and they all came out much quicker than we expected. I got the smoothie bowl but swapped it from the plum smoothie on the menu to the “green colada” one instead which was tasty. Loved they had so many dairy free/gluten free options and were happy to swap things around for me.
We sat out on the patio bit out the back which was nice. Still outside but not out the front where all the families and young children were running around which worked for us.
Highly recommend, will definitely make this one of our go tos.

I came in today and ordered coco pops for my 5 year old (and can I say genius move to put that at the top of the kids menu, once she heard coco pops there was nothing else that she wanted) and the Angus burger for me. We were seated right next to the trampoline. The little one went to the trampoline and the burger and coco pops were brought out, I went to tell my child that she should come back to eat and when I turned around there were about 6 seagulls on my burger, that was an oversight on my part. I’m not the type of person to complain so I sat down and helped my little one eat the coco pops and I drank her juice, some of the lovely patrons at the table next to me noticed I wasn’t eating and urged me to take the burger back, I did and there was no fuss, the burger was replaced no questions asked. I really appreciated that and the burger was delicious, great kids menu at great prices and what a beautiful view. Chocolate fish cafe is a hidden gem, definitely come and check it out if you’re over this way.
Love coming to the chocolate fish knowing the gluten free food is both safe and delicious 😋💞 Great service and plenty of great gf options. Personal fav is potato & parsley sandwich
Location is outstanding! service was great! it was worth the drive
pro tip: make sure you order their hot chocolates, as they are DELISHHHHH!!!

Great ambience, the outdoor area was great, lots of heaters pillows and lights, nice and tidy too! Had the seafood chowder which was amazing, was pretty filling as well, full of flavour and not too creamy. My friend had the beef burger she said was okay, would have been better if she knew she had to ask to get her meat cooked more then rare, lastly we had the chocolate fish shakes, perfect kiwi classic!! Thanks guys
Food here was so good we had to come back the next day! The whitebait fritter sandwich and tomato soup is a must try! We also had the black pudding sandwich, coffee and chocolate milkshake which were good as well. Big play area for young children on the side of the cafe.
The Flash Sammies were really good - got the White Bait and Crayfish. The 3B burger was "one of the best burgers I've had in awhile" - said my friend who came with me. Winner though was the Cheese Scone - buttery, fragrant. Loved it. !!!
One of the homeliest and most comfortable cafes in Wellington!! All the staff are all incredibly lovely. These guys know how to do Kiwi well. Highly recommend the crayfish sandwich, came on soft white bread with heaps of mayo, butter and
It's great to visit on a sunny day with your young child during the weekend. Keep in mind that parking might be a bit challenging due to the large number of people. However, the food doesn't take too long to come out considering the crowd. I highly recommend this place due to its pleasant atmosphere and convenient location.
OMG! This place is amazing, from the views, to the food and drinks. I was blown away (literally… it was so windy)
I definitely recommend sitting away from the sun but the views of Wellington are incredible.
The service was great and the food came out quickly despite how busy it was. I had roast tomatoes on vogel and it was delicious. The coffees were great too.
Such a great place to bring kids as they have a playground and toys. Definitely recommend stopping by!
I'm a big fan of this place. The standard fancy fish sandwich is lovely, the potato cake is fluffy on the inside and crisp on the out. My partner said his choc shake was delicious and scrambled eggs were soft and tasty. And the coffee was divine.
On a nice day you can sit outside and admire the waterside view.
This place is super kid and dog friendly as well.
Warm friendly and patient service. Outstanding paua, bacon and black pudding burger. Banana a date smoothie (dairy free, vegan) was delicious. Carrot cake (nut free) beautifully spiced with a zesty orange icing. So good to be back again after 22 years. I won’t leave it so long for my next visit!
Great Mocha, open steak sandwich was just awesomeness.. the chef had the steak to perfection.
Staff were wonderful and the owner was soo nice..
A great little place to get a meal away from the busy centre of Wellington. We had breakfast here on the way to Weta Workshop and enjoyed it immensely. The decor - in particular the hand painted seats - was quite charming and homely. We had the fish of the day sandwich and the breakfast bagel - both tasty. Numerous signs apologise for the wait for food due to understaffing, but on a quiet Sunday morning we barely had to wait at all.
Very close to Camp Wellington where we stayed last month. It was recommended we visit and have a taste of what they have on the menu. Didn't disappoint. We had light meals, but it was perfect. Lots of parking space outside. They also have a play area for the kids to enjoy. Amazing view at the front. A cool place to chill after a long drive from Auckland. Definitely will be coming back to try other menu offerings.
