Havana Bar

Tucked into a cool, quirky Wigan Street building. Electric, beautiful, effortlessly cozy. Ask any Te Aro creative where to spend a lazy weekend, and they’ll point you straight to this vibrant crossover space—currently sharing digs with Fidel’s Café. Morning shifts mean expertly pulled cappuccinos and massive, golden chicken waffles. Or a Mexican breakfast burrito packing serious sabor. But when the sun dips, the mood shifts. A warm, low-lit refuge on a cold winter's night. The kitchen pivots to Peruvian-inspired small plates. Flawlessly charred octopus. Crispy patatas bravas. Delicate seafood dumplings. Wellington's dining crowd knows to snag a table early; peak hours pack out fast. Excellent service, punchy flavors, zero pretension. An absolute capital city essential.
