FLORIDITAS

Founder and food legend Julie Clark has harnessed the skills of chef and business partner Hayden Mcmillan to bring new life to this iconic restaurant. In its 15-year existence, Floriditas has consistently delivered outstanding food to a loyal foodie following, as well as captivating the tastes of grateful tourists. Mcmillan has a top trans-tasman pedigree (Auckland, Melbourne) and since his 2020 arrival at Floriditas he’s won Wellington’s heart. Flo’s ingredient-driven menu stacks up across breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner with the addition of a wickedly indulgent counter display of house-made cakes and pastries that you can’t say no to. Stalwarts include the brown sugar pavs and the smoked fish, potato and herb hash – but it’s the sophisticated plates deftly produced to reflect seasonal flavours that are the very essence of Floriditas. 161 Cuba St, Wellington / floriditas.co.nz
