Ortega

Seafood restaurant · Mount Victoria

@afar

"Hardly a "shack," the stylish and cosmopolitan Ortega is a superb place to dine in New Zealand 's capital city. Of course, seafood is a major focus on the menu, with highlights including lobster-and-prawn ravioli, or sautéed paua (New Zealand abalone) with braised pork cheek in an unctuous Asian-style sauce. Befitting its location in the best craft-beer city in the land, Ortega sports a beer list that's diverse and well-considered, combining top drops from Wellington makers like Garage Project, Tuatara, and ParrotDog, and other excellent beers from around New Zealand and the world. Booking ahead for one of Wellington's best restaurants is recommended, especially on weekends."
