Review Concord - Wellington

Angelica Woolley

I had booked a table for 2 for a pre-show dinner with my friend at the bistro a week ago and was very pleased with the choice since I've never been here before. The retro designs, luscious velvet, hues of red and gold under dimmed lighting set the mood and tone for our chic evening meal - just what us 2 mums need on a night out without the kids :) The waitstaffs were very attentive and started us on cocktails then proceeded to walk us through the menu. We had the Pork Belly and the Special of the Day - Duck Confit accompanied with a side of the Pomme Puree. Both our mains were of a decent size, amazingly delicious tender-cooked meats served with vegetables. The Pomme Puree has got to be the best potato mash with gravy I've eaten to date - doused with chicken gravy and truffle butter, it was so smooth and addictive, I just want to have more! And to finish, we got a Tarte au Citron Vert and Creme Brulee to share. Cost us $175 total for food and drinks. All in all a great experience, definitely keen to return to try out other menu items from this French-American influenced bistro.

Such a cool revamp from the old Lido Cafe! Great service last night and the food and drinks were great. The duck was soft and light to the chew really delicious. The gravy with garlic butter and Brussel sprouts were amazing as well. I found just enough space for a few teaspoons of the delectable crème brûlée! So good!!

Great spot for a weekend brunch. The French Toast with persimmon seasonal offering that they have at the moment is my recommendation at the moment. Coffee is good and staff are on the ball. Nice relaxed environment.

My friend wanted to try Concord out and having perused the menu online (who doesn’t) I was in like Flynn. We shared the pate entree that was delish. The only negative was the chargrilled toast tasted burnt. But the pate was sublime. My friend had the steak sandwich “rocking” was her review. I had the fish. This was outstanding. Cooked to perfection, a flavourful delicate butter sauce and fresh, Al dente asparagus. The best. The ambience was awesome and the service was great. Didn’t get the server’s name but she was a delight. Highly recommend.

I had a wonderful dinning experience at Concord and 100% want to go back. The service was impeccable, especially our lovely server from Iowa. The food was also wonderful and I loved the French inspired menu with some American bistro added in. The fish crudo was my favorite, though my friends really loved the oyster roll. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes.

Three of us ordered a range of things to try at the newest joint in town and we loved every mouthful. Can’t wait to get back for another beautiful steak ceaser salad and crepe suzette. A lovely fit out, great drinks menu and really well priced.

I love Concord bistro and Bar. I've had brunch here and it delights the palette regardless of savoury or saccharin, lovely fresh atmosphere during the day- At night! Takes on a sultry sexy air! You can taste it in the food, it's sensual and so terribly like its name; a beautiful seamlessly curated harmony of flavours.

This restaurant was recommended to us by Intrepid Hotel so we walked on over. We were close to closing but they made us feel welcome and they are dog friendly 🐕. The waiting staff were knowledgeable and attentive. The fish & pork belly are incredible and the mocktails too.

This is one of our favourite spots in Wellington, hands down. We’ve happily become regulars. The food is perfect: simple recipes, high quality ingredients cooked to perfection, unpretentious. Just really good food. The staff is almost better than the food! They’re personable, hilarious, and take their profession seriously. What more could you want? I’ll tell you, a well stocked bar and wine cellar. Drinking and pairing is fun here. Belly-up to the bar and go on a journey with their wonderful bartenders. And finally the ambience, comforting like a warm hug in a velvet jacket. Treat yourself… but don’t take our favourite seats at the bar.

Excellent, super-friendly yet professional service (looking at you, Rebecca). Steak was perfectly cooked and tender. The 70s vibe works well for those seeking out that sort of atmosphere and cuisine.

We had a lovely dinner here on a Sunday night. Art deco like interior with an open kitchen, and a delicious menu. We started with the bread rolls and garlic butter, followed by the New York strip steak and fries and the duck a l’orange. Both were high quality and incredibly tasty, and were accompanied by some lovely wine. No photos for this review as too caught up in the food. Waiting staff were also very friendly and attentive

Sarah Murphy

My partner and I dined here on Friday evening and tried the WOAP burger. It was amazing, and the service was outstanding. The manager/maitre'd was brilliant! Thanks so much for a great evening.

Stephen Wright

Patrick Whitney

Had an excellent meal at concord. Waiter was very attentive, but mostly the food was amazing. Highly recommend the beef tartare, very good here.

Chris Lipscombe

Great retro styling and menu and attentive wait staff but a tad on the expensive side. Would recommend the cocktails.

Andrew Vincent

Really refreshing French style no frills cafe. Great food selection.
