The Green Parrot Cafe

The historic Green Parrot Cafe is worth a visit just for nostalgia, a walk through time and the early days of Wellington city, the den of politicians and movie stars alike. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The menu was basic, but the serving sizes are generous and the prices reasonable considering the location. I would recommend going at least once for the experience.

Was recommended to try this place, I’m on holiday here in Wellywood these few days. Awesome that this place was established since 1926! Love the mixed omelette (has ham, mushroom and tomatoes!) and the pork chops. So old school nostalgia. Unfortunately the hot chocolate was nothing to shout about. Otherwise this would have been a 5-star place.

Nostalgic and homely. Massive portions and all the retro your heart desires. Old school service and complimentary bread and butter. This place reminds me of my folks - it's definitely somewhere they would have gone for dinner back in their day. The carpet takes me back to my childhood - I'm sure we've all had it at sometime in our lives! You can be forgiven for not being able to finish your meal because they are huge so if you're planning on trying the apple pie (and you so should!) then I highly recommend sharing a plate. I add eggs to the schnitzel and it's enough to feed 2 of us.
