About

About Salty Pidgin

Salty Pidgin is a bar and bistro in Brooklyn Village, about five minutes from central Wellington, at 5 Todman Street. It occupies a prominent heritage building whose different floor levels — a legacy of its early-1900s life as a row of shops — break the room into intimate spaces beneath high ceilings and white walls.

The kitchen serves modern New Zealand cuisine built on fresh local ingredients, with a recurring thread of North African flavours such as harissa and sumac. Alongside more considered plates, no-fuss dishes like Turkish pide have become menu mainstays. The drinks list is a strength, with an award-winning wine selection, seven rotating taps of local and international craft beer, and more than twenty bottled beers.

As Brooklyn's neighbourhood bistro, Salty Pidgin functions both as a local gathering point and a destination dining spot for visitors from the wider city.

For meetings and events, its intimate multi-level layout and strong beverage programme suit small group dinners, informal work gatherings and celebratory meals close to the CBD. See more Wellington venues for events across the region.
