A Wellington bar and restaurant that is sophisticated enough to fit in any city around the world? YES! Matterhorn is uber-cool, with superb cocktails, genial staff and great food not matter how busy it gets. This is one place in the city that has a real buzz about it - you feel like you're part of the in-crowd just being... more

Only stopped in for a coffee (very good coffee by the way) but would highly recommend this venue for a night visit. Chilled out vibe, cool lighting and atmosphere, great staff. more

We arrived at the Matterhorn with out a reservation and were quickly seated. The atmosphere was good with nice lighting and surroundings, a pity that the fire kept blowing smoke into the room, I am so glad that we were not seated closer to it and I pity those that were. The staff were attentive and took our orders in... more

A great restaurant, great service. The best coffee I have tasted in a long time. Fantastic attentive service. I dined for lunch, early in the week, and had a morrocan spiced lamb dish, with butternut pie. Just divine, reasonably priced, a great find. Impressive wine list as well. more

When I am in Wellington I always make sure I eat at least once at the Matterhorn. Their food is great and very creative, you might call it modern New Zealand cuisine. They won best New Zealand restaurant in 2008 - well deserved. You can't make a reservation and it is very popular so either you come early or you... more

What can we say! - Melbourne has some cool, 'in' restuarants and this meets them and more!. On Cuba Street. walk through a long entrance off the mall, open the door & you'd never know there was a bar & restuarant here! No booking policy so get there early. We arrived 7pm, greeted nicely and advised 30-40minute for a table... more

We visited the restaurant for a business lunch midweek. We had booked earlier and our table was waiting for us. The atmosphere in the restaurant is casual, but the clientele on this day were suits. We opted for the a la carte menu with entrees and mains and garlic bread as a starter. There were 3 of us dining and... more

We had the best meal here, absolutely loved it. Got a table quickly and found the staff to be very friendly, our server was knowlegeable about the menu and wine list. The menu is to die for- a huge range of choices and really unique. It was hard to choose. I had the caramelised slow cooked pork belly with ham... more
