Mt Vic Chippery

Beautiful fresh fish. Good value for serve. But due to oil excess feel it was a bit of a waste of money. Just way too greasy!!!!!! As in dripping with grease. Food needs to be drained for longer. Also very frugal on the salt seasoning, be great if they had some salt sachets available so you could adjust to taste.

Thee most crazy overpriced average fish and chips ever. Never again. Small Snapper for $18. Fish burger the same price and a sloppy coconut cream mess, zero flavors apart from coconut cream. The curly fries were ok. $45 for what? Had far better from grass roots suburban fish and chips

My partner and I are both Wellingtonians, over 70yrs old, and have just experienced our worst fish, chip and battered sausage experience in our lives. Neither of us are fussy eaters but The Chippery in Marjoirebanks st Welie have excelled themselves in disgusting. There was a very small morsel of fish inside the haha,"tempura" batter. The chips were huge and undercooked. The battered sausage was actually like eating cattle salt block. The whole experience went down the waste master. So so 💯% disappointed and not cheap. Oh well, we gave it a go!

Have tried this place a couple of times, the fish is really fresh and their jalapeño poppers are good. Overall worth the price.

Fish was fresh and perfectly cooked - still moist inside. Hand cut chips were amazing! I was apprehensive about coming, due to some of the negative reviews and photos. However, my experience was great.

Tried the fish and chips - mostly Kumara. The fish - snapper was good, the another one we ordered (not sure of the name may be Trevally was not so good). Kumara was too salty, not sure why they have to add so much salt and spoil the taste.

Absolutely delicious top notch food. The gluten free battery was amazing. And they have a separate gluten free fryer - top marks from us! Super good value too.

Ordered gluten free battered gem fish and agria fries. The chips were burnt and absolutely disgusting and inedible. Zero stars and I would definitely not recommend buying from this chippery. Unbelievably horrible.

Gourmet fish and chips! This fish and chip shop has a wonderful menu. You can choose to have your fish beer battered, panko crumbed, tempura battered, gluten-free battered or grilled and you can have hand cut Agria chips,crinkle cut chips, beer battered chips, kumara chips or curly fries. There are several house salads and sides on offer or you can select something from their burger/sandwich menu. We opted to have grilled tarakihi and trevally, hand cut Agria chips and a coleslaw. It was delicious, beautifully cooked and presented and quite reasonably priced too.

I decided to go here based on the fact that it's the number 1 ranked fish and chips spot in Auckland on Yelp. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this establishment is a smaller one, and not a fine dining restaurant. Since it's a bit smaller, you can see the food being cooked for you behind the counter. I love the fact they you can choose to have a heavier version of F&C with a grilled fish or seared and baked with veggies. I wish I could give it a 4.5/4.75 starts only because there doesn't seem to be a restroom for customers(would rather my hands not smell like fish) and you have to pay $1-2 for condiments. I fearsomely feel like ketchup or tartar(at least ONE) condiment should be complimentary, but I'm not going to dock a star because I'm a little cheap. Overall, the fish is fresh and delicious, the fries are crunchy and golden. My heart's content.

A friend raves about this eatery, so we came for lunch with the high hope. Unfortunately, we were disappointed! We had better fish and chip. The grilled trevally, calamari and grilled tiger prawns were good, but not great as we expected. Maybe we were unfair? Probably so.

The food here is pretty much absolutely excellent! We tried multiple types of fish, burgers, and chips -- all of which are served in large portions -- and thought that we would happily re-order any of it again...although the temptation to switch up our orders with other things on the menu would also be strong. It's easy to order for delivery if you can't get to the restaurant. The only disappointment to several of us were the standard fries/chips, which were large blocks of potato that were overly mushy and didn't have the wonderful flavors of the other types of chips. It was also a bit pricey, but on par with similar things in New Zealand.

My husband and I could not go to New Zealand and leave without trying the Kiwi staple food of fish and chips! After some extensive research on the best fish and chips served in Wellington, I settled on Mt. Vic Chippery. We were more than satisfied with our choice. For starters, there is a weekday special, which is a complete steal. For $10 NZD (about $7.10 USD), you can panko crust breaded market fish, a generous serving of crinkle cut fries, and a heap of cole slaw. You can't beat that. Not even in the States. We also ordered calamari for $6 NZD (about $4.26 USD). This was a favorite among us three. The calamari was fresh and chewy yet soft. Everything was amazingly fresh, from the fish to the potato fries and cole slaw. Everything. On top of that, the food arrived no more than 5 minutes after we had ordered. This was an extra cherry on top for us since we were starving before we came here. Even though the weekday special was already a great price, we were able to make a few substitutions, which is unheard of in the States. I was pleasantly surprised the chefs were so agreeable! We were happy with our food. One special per person, and we all had leftovers for takeaway! Again, slightly larger than moderate servings. If you are a pickier eater, the menu boasts a large variety of fish, fried food, and other non-seafood items. Is this a place I would come back to? Without a doubt.

Lines out the door means good things are coming out of the kitchen. And at Vic you are in the kitchen! Watch the 4-5 cooks and chefs dance around each other 3 meters from the cash till. Tickets flying everywhere, hot bubbling fryers making all kinds of pop pop bubble bubble noises. The Chef calling orders, moving tickets and salting chips in a constant whirl of motion and action. Simple build your own blackboard menu. They say "make it your way!" You know they are proud of their fresh proteins when the iced portions are 1 meter inside the front door. Multiple fresh fish filets in your face! Step 1 more meter and ogle at the pass window where they plate the orders. So in the first 6 steps you have seen the raw ingredients, saw the chefs cooking and then the final product of the persons 5 spots before you. Are you hungry now? No more explanations... get your tummy down the Mt. Vic and enjoy the best fish and chips prepared just the way YOU like it!

What a great find. I had beer battered snapper and fries. You can choose about ten different varieties of fish (ex. Salmon) and multiple ways to prepare it. They also have other options instead of regular fries (sweet potato fries). This is a great restaurant and exceptional service.

Almost Wellington's equivalent of fish smith! I went here the other night with a big group of friends and between us we got kumara chips (amazing), Cajon fish burgers, vege burger and crumbed snapper. Apart from two order glitches and asking for more fish in my burger, the staff were amazing, helpful and thoughtful which is why I give them top marks. Everyone was happy with their meals and we would definitely return. The portions are hearty and the burgers are really good value at $10 each. Thanks Mt. Vic Chippery, you'll be seeing us (and our friends again soon) Taste: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Value; 5/5 Must try: kumara chips and Cajon burgers Instagram: @oliviaroundtown Website: Olivia Round Town (dotcom)

Some of the best fish and chips I have had. I'm not sure what everybody else ate there, but I had two of the Moki fillets (beer battered), along with the Agria cut fries. Fantastic. Some of the best fish and chips I have had. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the batter was perfect.

Some of the best fish and chips I've had at the price point. Great for a fast meal on the go in the cbd.

Excellent fish that comes with a variety of coatings like panko, beer batter and crispy. Good chips though a bit large for some. Large fish menu Small dining area, best for takeaway.

You know those nights where you're craving naughty takeaways but can't face disgusting soggy chips and oily batter? Head to Mt Vic Chippery. Best way to describe it is fancy, DELICIOUS fish and chips. Ahh so good!! The kumara chips are so so yum and the fish is soo fresh. There are a number of fish, batters, sides and sauces to choose from! So good.

Had no idea what a whitebait fritter sandwich was, and if you don't peak, it's pretty tasty. Great place!

The fish is ALWAYS fresh and delicious here, and the chips --mmmm! We have never been disappointed, and have tried several different varieties of fish and all styles of chips. The chicken wasn't quite up to par, but then who goes to a fish and chips place and expects great chicken?! One of our favorite places when we're in Welly!

The Mt Vic Chippery is a nice place and has good food. We ate there on New Year's Day. Take away is their primary business and they do delivery as well. We ordered Red Snapper, Ribaldo, Gurnard, with Kringle fries and Kumera fries. The portion size was fair but the price seemed a little high for the food and value presented. There were a continuous flow of people through restaurant which is always a good sign for any restaurant. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the Wellington area.

Food was fresh and good! As a non-local, the price seemed comparable to what the sit-down restaurants offer.

Nice way to order, by choosing fish from 3 choices, choosing sauce, cooking method and chip type. Butterfish for fish and chips and then another butterfish for grilling with veggies. Both were excellent. Kumara chips were the best ever. Sadly no beer or wine available and it's not too comfortable to sit to eat in the place. Tall hard metal stools, small tables. But transporting fish and chips doesn't really work either so we ate there.

Slow. Overpriced. It's the closest place to me, but I've been burned too many times. Stay away.
