About Hillside Kitchen

Hillside Kitchen is a vegetarian fine dining restaurant at 241 Tinakori Road in Thorndon, Wellington, close to the Botanic Garden and the Parliament precinct.

### Food and drink

The restaurant focuses on seasonal New Zealand produce and sustainable dining, and its website describes its menus as award-winning. Its site has separate food and drink sections, and Cuisine magazine's Good Food Guide has carried a listing for the restaurant. Media coverage from 2018 reported that the restaurant, previously a meat-serving venue, moved to an entirely vegetarian menu.

### Bookings and groups

Tables are reserved online through the restaurant's website. Private dining rooms, function packages and seating capacity are not described on the site, so we have not stated them. Groups and corporate hosts should contact the restaurant directly to discuss availability, set menus and dietary requirements, which suit a vegetarian-focused kitchen.

### Location

Thorndon is a heritage suburb on the northern edge of the CBD, a short trip from the Wellington waterfront and government offices, which makes the restaurant a practical option for business dinners. Browse more Wellington venues.
