So I’ve just tried the food at the refreshed Hummingbird – wow – seriously amazing. The roast duck and lentils were worth it alone. I’d highly recommend for foodies and casual dinners alike…Nice and warm too – perfect for this rainy Wellys evening.

It seems Hummingbird now does brunch of a weekend. My partner and I visited 12th of May, 2012, about 9.00am. The place was empty because they have been doing brunch for only a couple of weeks. Well, it was awesome. I had perfectly scrambled eggs with grilled tomato, asparagus and rocket, on rye toast. Everything was perfectly cooked, fresh and flavoursome: eggs moist with just the right degree of firmness; asparagus grilled, salted, slightly crunchy with a hint of garlic; rocket served with a balanced oil and vinegar dressing. On top of all this, the wait staff were charming, coffee very good, the place as clean as a new pin and there was an enormous bunch of fresh flowers in the loo. All round, an excellent start to the day. Get there before it gets crowded.

We went to the NEW and IMPROVED Hummingbird at the weekend. The restaurant had just reopened from a re-vamp with a new chef, new menu, new drinks list and an amazing new interior so we were curious to give it a go. It surpassed our expectations. The atmosphere is inviting and relaxed and there is a huge emphasis on food loving combined local ingredients which is delicious and refreshingly unfussy (We had crab, squid with choritzo to start lamb with broadbeans feta and mint, amazing roast chicken for main and devine orange brulee and salted caramel chocolate for dessert) The whole place has an attention to detail and casual atmosphere more commonly found in London than in Wellington. The best thing about it was that despite the makeover-and how amazing the meal and service was- it just didn’t seem like it was trying too hard. As Wellington based foodies who eat out regularly we were so impressed with the menu that we went back for dinner the following night! Well worth checking out.

I don’t actually live in NZ but was staying with friends in Palmerston North. Went to my Mothers funeral and needed to get out of Palmerston. Found a little restaurant on a corner in Wellington thought ” this looks cute”. OMG !!!!!!!!!!!
I own a Restaurant and Bar in Australia; and the staff, the food, the cocktails, the service, lighting, music of Hummingbird was and is 5 star!! My Brother and I were already upset as we just buried our Mother and when we left the premises, ( pretty sure we were the last to leave ) just had the best time of our lives.
Eddie and his staff don’t just treat you as customers but as their friends. Coming from a Restaurant owner you can’t teach that!!!!, it comes from within, and the team there at Hummingbird are the best in Wellington.
If I could I would fly them all over to my restaurant, but that would be selfish because if anyone out there reading this who wants to go to Hummingbird won’t have the experience like my Brother and I had!!!!!!!!!. To me they are the best.
Wish I lived in wellie. Sue-Ellen White from Brisbane.

Went earlier this year. Great food & cocktails, although i think the service was average

Cool atmosphere & great location
