About Whitebait

Whitebait is a seafood restaurant on Clyde Quay Wharf, overlooking the yacht moorings and Wellington's waterfront.

### Food and drink

The kitchen focuses on seasonal, local produce and New Zealand seafood, cooked simply over a Josper charcoal-fired oven. Its website lists a dinner menu, a degustation menu, a wine list and a separate "Noble Nibbles" menu, and summarises its approach as "The best ingredients, sustainable and simply prepared." The interior is relaxed, with the waterfront views a key feature.

### Recognition

The restaurant's website states that Whitebait won Cuisine magazine's Good Food Award for Best New Restaurant in New Zealand in 2015, and held one chef's hat in 2015, 2016 and 2017.

### Bookings, vouchers and groups

Reservations are taken online and the restaurant offers gift vouchers. Opening hours, private dining or function facilities and seating capacity are not published on the main page, so we have not stated them. Event organisers should contact the restaurant to ask about group bookings and the degustation menu for larger parties.

### Location

Clyde Quay Wharf is on Wellington's harbour edge near Oriental Bay and Te Aro, a short distance from the CBD. See more Wellington venues.
