Logan Brown

Frommer's Review

Ask about Wellington's best restaurant, and the name Logan Brown will be mentioned consistently. It's all leather-upholstered booths, white-clothed tables, Corinthian pillars, and chandeliers big enough to swing on in what was once a banking chamber. The food is billed as "honest and simple." The wine list is lengthy with an uneven balance between French (they win) and New Zealand offerings. Funnily enough, you'll find this culinary star cast adrift in the city's red-light area -- not that that should affect your decision to try the epicurean offerings of the most splendid restaurant interior in town. Service is impeccable, but it can be stuffy. If you want to sample Logan Brown without emptying your wallet, go for the pre-theater set menu: three light courses for around NZ$45 (US$32/£16) daily from 6 to 7:30pm. Also offered is a three-course Bankers Lunch Menu for the same price.
