Arbitrageur Wine Room & Restaurant offers a fine dining experience without the price tag. It is nestled right within the heart of Wellington central city, and provides you with a taste of Europe right on your door step. Arbitrageur is a short walk from many of Wellington's hotels, and is the perfect place to enhance your weekend away. The elegant setting is suitable for business lunches and dinners, after-work tapas with drinks, or a romantic evening out. Arbitrageur's revolutionary Avec Menu allows diners to indulge the senses with stunning wines from the cellar, matched with dishes influenced by the Mediterranean. Arbitrageur's wine programme combines tradition with discovery and exploration but the true point of difference is their wine selection process. Everything listed is either of great quality or great value and has been hand selected by inhouse wine authority Stephen Wong. A triumphant effort, as the cellar exceeds 450 labels. Plus in August 2011, Arbitrageur has won top Cuisine Award 2011 for Best Casual Dining - (Metropolitan)!

These guys are top notch. Staff, food and surroundings, and of course the wine selection is perhaps the best in Wellington.
On one occasion the staff noticed that we were a little unhappy with our table (due to who we seated next to), and rectified it without embarrassing anyone. An amazing feat.
For a nice relaxing, intimate or business, lunch or dinner, this place is worth every cent.-

We enjoyed a fantastic dinner on New Year’s Eve.
Staff were extremely friendly and attentive. They were also extremely knowledgeable and helpful when it came to wine selections and advice on the menu.
Surroundings were superb and the food was wonderfully cooked and presented. We enjoyed prawns and salmon starters, the belly pork and beef cheek for mains. The blue cheese with fruit bread toast was a wonderful end to the meal. The Greywacke wines never fail to disappoint.
An expensive restaurant but one which can justify the prices charged. -

A beautiful semi-formal restaurant made better by an extensive by the glass wine list. So this is a good place to try those wines that are a bit expensive by the bottle.
The service during lunch was of a high standard and we all enjoyed our selections. While it was good, $30 was a bit steep for the steak sandwich. However the other meals were all good value.
Worth making a reservation. -

Most excellent. Great menu and wine list. Missed on a 5 stars from me as we ordered a bottle of top NZ red wine over $200 and it was cold like it was from a fridge. Got it decantered and had to drink another bottle of good wine waiting for it to warm up. This bottle was also cold! Food and service excellent.

Love the ambiance of this restaurant. It makes the night feel really special!
I have been 3 times and the entrées have been beautiful. On one occasion we had a large party so we ordered a 3 large mixed platters (off the menu, which the manager was more than happy to do), it was stunning, probably better than our mains! Lots of cured meats, cheeses and little surprises. The mains were nice too, I have tried the salmon, entrecote and grouper. All were lovely. The salmon was possibly the only one that was a little pedestrian.
I would love them to put more foie gras on the menu…just for that taste of culture!
Being a kiwi, I order the fries each time, and they are divine and a good portion size.
I haven’t tried any desserts, so next time I will have to control myself on the mains hehe…
