About Beach Babylon

Beach Babylon is a seaside café and restaurant at 232 Oriental Parade in Oriental Bay, Wellington, and has been a waterfront favourite since it opened in 2004. It combines a nostalgic, retro fit-out — 1970s styling in oranges, browns and reds — with contemporary café cooking.

The all-day menu runs from brunch and lunch dishes such as bagels, burrito bowls and burgers to more substantial evening meals, drawing on Kiwi classics. A distinctive touch is its cheese and sweet dessert fondue, which began as a decorating idea when the fondue pots were first bought as décor. The café is open seven days from sunrise to sunset and is dog-friendly, holding a Google rating of around 4.3.

With its beachfront position on Oriental Parade, Beach Babylon suits relaxed group brunches and lunches, informal team gatherings and casual celebrations close to the city. See more Wellington venues for events across the region.
