About Seashore Cabaret

Seashore Cabaret is a cafe and diner at 160 The Esplanade, Petone, on the Petone foreshore in the Wellington region. It occupies the historic former Petone Rowing Club building — once a dance hall, which gives the venue its name — and looks out across the waterfront.

Food and dining

The cafe is known for its playful, retro-diner character, with amusements, merry-go-round horses and other quirky decor throughout the space. The menu offers a substantial breakfast catering to a range of dietary requirements, fresh cabinet food from an in-house bakery, and from late morning a diner-style menu of items such as fish tacos and burgers, all served with organic, fair-trade coffee. It is open seven days from early morning, with dinner service later in the week.

Functions and MICE relevance

With its waterfront location, characterful heritage setting and all-day menu, Seashore Cabaret suits casual group meals, team breakfasts and social gatherings connected to meetings or events in the Wellington region. Explore more Wellington venues for dining options.
