HIGHWATER EATERY

A busy, buzzy Cuba St spot. Head chef Alric Hansen has designed food to share, introducing a mix of Highwater classics and ever-changing seasonal favourites. Drinks are very well matched to the menu, which is largely meatand fish-based. There are some admirable tweaks to the classics. It says a lot about a place that’s so exciting you’re looking forward to going back even before you’ve finished dessert (in this case meringue, white chocolate and raspberry). Simple, fresh and surprisingly comforting all in one. 54 Cuba St, Wellington / highwatereatery.co.nz
