Steps Restaurant is the named Level 6 dining room inside Travelodge Hotel Wellington on Gilmer Terrace. It welcomes reservations for breakfast and dinner and offers drinks as well as complete meals, giving hotel guests and other diners a defined restaurant rather than only an in-room service. The setting is geared to both the start of a city day and an unhurried evening meal.
Breakfast comes in continental and cooked buffet formats. Pastries, breads, muffins and croissants sit alongside cereal, fruit and yoghurt, with juice, tea and coffee covering the lighter spread. The cooked version adds bacon, eggs, sausage, baked beans, mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, spinach, hash browns and pancakes, allowing diners to combine hot and cold elements without being limited to a single plated breakfast.
Dinner opens with choices that move across several styles: warm focaccia with pesto, sweetly marinated chicken wings, soup, Southern African samosas, glazed pork belly bites and Caesar salad with chicken or smoked salmon. The main-course range is equally broad, moving from a brisket burger and customizable pasta to seafood risotto, schnitzel, pork ribs, steak, lamb shank, fish and chips and vegetarian lasagne.
Dessert is treated as a full final course rather than an afterthought. Chocolate brownie with mousse, raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake, creme brulee, seasonal fruit and warm sticky date pudding cover rich, fresh and classic options. With a bar alongside the food, Steps can support a buffet breakfast, a simple main after work or a longer dinner completed with dessert.
