The Mt. Vic Chippery

My husband and I could not go to New Zealand and leave without trying the Kiwi staple food of fish and chips! After some extensive research on the best fish and chips served in Wellington, I settled on Mt. Vic Chippery. We were more than satisfied with our choice.
For starters, there is a weekday special, which is a complete steal. For $ 10 NZD (about $ 7.10 USD), you can panko crust breaded market fish, a generous serving of crinkle cut fries, and a heap of cole slaw. You can’t beat that. Not even in the States. We also ordered calamari for $ 6 NZD (about $ 4.26 USD). This was a favorite among us three. The calamari was fresh and chewy yet soft.
Everything was amazingly fresh, from the fish to the potato fries and cole slaw. Everything. On top of that, the food arrived no more than 5 minutes after we had ordered. This was an extra cherry on top for us since we were starving before we came here. Even though the weekday special was already a great price, we were able to make a few substitutions, which is unheard of in the States. I was pleasantly surprised the chefs were so agreeable!
We were happy with our food. One special per person, and we all had leftovers for takeaway! Again, slightly larger than moderate servings. If you are a pickier eater, the menu boasts a large variety of fish, fried food, and other non-​seafood items.
Is this a place I would come back to? Without a doubt.

You know those nights where you’re craving naughty takeaways but can’t face disgusting soggy chips and oily batter? Head to Mt Vic Chippery. Best way to describe it is fancy, DELICIOUS fish and chips. Ahh so good! The kumara chips are so so yum and the fish is soo fresh. There are a number of fish, batters, sides and sauces to choose from! So good.

Had no idea what a whitebait fritter sandwich was, and if you don’t peak, it’s pretty tasty. Great place!
