It's a great place to have dinner while waiting for the traffic to ease coming from work. Service is great - friendly and attentive and food is very good. Not too crowded when we went there so it's conducive for conversations.

The Ministry of Food is a pleasant restaurant/cafe located on The Terrace in Wellington's CBD. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and table service (although you order at the bar). The service itself was prompt, professional and friendly. The food is good and priced appropriately given the location. The decor and layout was quite pleasing. I especially liked the outdoor area which looked out over The Terrace. I went there for the burger which was part of the Wellington On Plate promotion, but I would definitely go there again to check out the rest of their food.

Nice brekkie cafe. Open from 7am, plenty of seating. Smashed avo called "The Millennial" was delicious, but a little sloppily presented. Turkish eggs were average (well poached but too much sauce). Coffee was excellent!

Came for a team lunch and was not pleasantly surprised - it was definitely pleasant but far from a surprise as every time I’ve been here has been great. I opted for the smoked fish kegeree - a lovely rice dish with a perfect level of saltiness. Forgot to take a “before” photo but I think the “after” photo says it all.

Tasty food (had venison and beetroot burger) and great selection of craft beer (2 different pilsner on tap). Good music, great place to go after work to relax

I was looking for a feed. Went in some hotel resturant and they ignored me. My nostrils were treated to a plethora of olfactory exposures. Seemed to be dominated by folk with an American accent. Found this place. If you are after Gordon Ramsy Michelin star fodder keep walking. If you are after a place that is relaxed and serve good fodder take a seat. Seemed to be occupied by locals. Left well fed and satisfied

Small little place, great for a checky after work drink. We didn't have food but drinks were as expected

Thank you for the Cheese Scone recipe. My sister sent it as we live in Sydney so it was a bit far to travel for scone. Albeit totally great scones. Again thanks.
Eric Renner
Service is fantastic here. Plenty of seating and was able to get a table right away. The food was good, I had the buttermilk chicken burger with fries. The burger was tasty enough and fries were good. I've had better of both items but this was good.

Always a great place to catch up in between meetings. Great coffee, quality food, and obliging staff. Centrally located on the Terrace.

I had dinner here with my friend. We arrived to the most friendly welcome and got a lovely comfortable seat out the back. I had a beautiful fish dish with fresh greens and a tasty sauce. My friend had the pizza and we both had a beautiful coffee and apple crumble. The food is well priced for what you get and we felt very well taken care of.

Useful bar. Good beers and drinks. Good breakfasts and coffee. Almost like a bistro in France, where it's open when you need it to be, and offers simplicity & quality, instead of trying to be something it's not.

Popped in for a quick breakfast on the way to work. Lovely food, quiet pleasant atmosphere. Staff member on service was lovely.

Took my 7 month old baby to Ministry of Food and the staff were very accommodating. Gladly heated up my baby's food, offered a seat for my baby's chair and stored our giant pram. The service was great and I really appreciated how easy they made our experience. A small suggestion would be a change table in the accessible bathroom. Makes a huge difference when you don't have to lie your baby on the cold, hard floor.

Amazing customer service, friendly staff and great brunch food!

Friendly staff. Come here often as it's so close to the office. Coffee is quite good, they use Rich coffee which my coworkers swear by being one of the better coffees in town. Have had a decent pot of tea sat outside under the heater - kept nice and warm. Cheese scones are some of the best around, freshly made.

We had an awesome time! Everything was done for us and the staff were friendly and catered to our needs. I highly recommend this venue for your next function.

Love this place, food is great and the hot chocolate ganache! (ask for it instead of the regular hot chocolate, you won't regret it!)
Rayleen Hirini
Had lunch recently here with my daughter. My favourite was the potato soup (sorry I'm not sure of the correct name??), and it was amazingly tasty and creamy, I would definitely come here again.

Always a great place for lunch - fresh food, great service, plenty of choice from a changing and delicious menu. Cant comment ón the cheese scones -something to go back for.

I have heard that Ministry of Food's cheese scones are one of the best cheese scones in Wellington. After having tasted Pravda's cheese scones a number of occasions, I wanted to try how their cheese scones compared.<br/><br/>Check out my website for an indepth review.
