Shed 5, where the city greets the sea. It is one of the grandest buildings, in one of the best settings in Wellington. Shed 5 Restaurant and Bar on Queens Wharf literally has Wellington Harbour lapping underneath its floor. Built in 1888 as a wool store, it remains an historic link with the old city and its beautiful interior creates a welcoming and stylish environment for dining out, and for functions. With a large bar and lounge area, Shed 5 caters for everything from pre-dinner drinks, through to dining and dancing. It can be transformed to fit in whatever the function. In summer diners can sit under an umbrella on the deck watching the boats come and go across the harbour, or they can brunch or lunch inside the marquee should the wind ever get up. Shed 5 has always had a strong emphasis on delicious, fresh seafood dishes, and it has broadened its range with Nourish Group executive chef Simon Gault introducing dishes such as the Alaskan Red King crab, a NZ first. To go with the food is a huge wine list with examples from the top wine producing areas of New Zealand, Australia and around the world. The excellent, unobtrusive service ensures a gracious dining experience, with staff going out of their way to ensure guests have a memorable time out in one of Wellington's most notable spots.
