Wellington's Newest Eatery
KAIOTA — named for the place of food cultivation and gathering for the people of Pipitea Pā — stands on the very whenua where 55 Molesworth Street now sits. A comfortable yet elegantly poised eatery, Kaiota celebrates fresh, daily, and distinctly Aotearoa dishes designed to inspire the palate.
Our beverage list showcases a curated selection of small‑holding New Zealand estate wines, Wellington craft beers, and, for those seeking something more spirited, exceptional Aotearoa‑made spirits.
KAIOTA is a welcoming space for everyday catch‑ups, socialising, and hosting. Our menu is guided by the culinary vision of Tom Hutchinson of Capitol Restaurant, and head chef Francisco Braga.
