The Matterhorn - Cuba Street Wellington

The Matterhorn is a real gourmet institution.

Years ago it was a not so trendy tea shop.... but even then it will still cool to hang there and have a cupper.

From tea's to the coolest bar and the best restaurant - with Wellington's finest cocktails.

Ok the restaurant food is fantastic.. but eating is cheating - forget the restaurant - drink the cocktails and if you get a little peckish - then order some of the most delicious bar snacks known to man.
