Battered fish and chips with tartare and charred lemon at Coene’s Bar and Eatery

Coene's Bar and Eatery sits directly on Wellington's Oriental Bay waterfront, where an open deck turns the harbour into part of the dining room. The outlook is relaxed, but the food travels well beyond standard bar fare: the kitchen draws on cuisines from several regions while keeping New Zealand ingredients at the centre. Weekday lunch flows into dinner service, and weekend brunch gives the venue a different rhythm earlier in the day, making the space equally natural for coffee, seafood and a longer evening meal.

Seafood is the clearest thread through the current menu. Fresh oysters can be ordered with chardonnay and sherry mignonette or beer battered with chipotle, while ceviche uses ponzu, orange, radish and cucumber. Prawns meet coconut and lemongrass, and calamari is kept simple with lemon pepper and chipotle mayonnaise. Larger plates range from saffron seafood chowder and coconut-sauced mussels to market fish, fish and chips, giving the harbour setting a genuine connection to what is served.

Brunch has enough range to support both a familiar breakfast and something more distinctive. French toast comes with vanilla mascarpone, rhubarb and almonds, while Turkish eggs bring together labneh, chilli oil, confit garlic and dukkah. Smashed avocado, eggs Benedict and a quinoa nourish bowl cover lighter directions, and the Coene's Feast gathers mushrooms, hash brown, sausage, bacon, tomato, eggs and sourdough onto one substantial plate. A pastrami toastie bridges breakfast and lunch.

Non-seafood choices keep a mixed table well served. A mezze platter combines baba ghanoush, muhammara and labneh; tomato and mozzarella arancini adds truffle mayonnaise; and bang bang chicken brings sriracha, pickles and curry leaf. Steak and fries provides a direct bistro-style main, while several dishes carry vegetarian or adaptable dietary markers. With indoor restaurant seating as well as the deck, Coene's can handle an everyday meal, a harbour-side catch-up or a seated celebration without losing its easygoing character.
