Jano Bistro is a restaurant at 270 Willis Street, Te Aro, Wellington, set in a restored historic cottage with a relaxed, homely feel.
Its website describes seasonally inspired, innovative French and New Zealand-style degustation menus showcasing local produce, from a chef who trained in Michelin-starred restaurants in France. The main dining area is upstairs, and the ground floor has seating by the fireplace with garden views, which also suits guests who have difficulty with stairs. Opening hours are Wednesday to Saturday, 5.30pm to 11pm, and the restaurant is closed on public holidays except Anzac Day. The phone number is 04 382 9892.
Seating is very limited because of the size of the restaurant, and advance booking is strongly recommended; no exact seat count is given. The website lists groups and private functions, with small private functions and events arranged via its booking page, but no maximum group size is stated.
Suitability: Best suited to intimate group dinners and small private functions rather than large teams. Book well ahead and confirm group limits.
