Boasting of delicious gourmet food and fine wine, Wellington is a town that can please you by the aroma of its sumptuous cuisine and the dimly lit funky cafes. It is known internationally for its 'cafe culture'. Popularly known as the 'culinary capital of New Zealand', the city has several neatly tucked bars boasting of excellent craft beer, quirky cafes serving mouth-watering finger food and some of the world?s best coffee.
