Capital's Capitol

Despite the bitterly cold Wellington weather today, MJ found a sunny corner to enjoy a wonderful meal and a nice bottle of wine. Capitol is on the corner of Marjoribanks St and Kent Terrace, next to the Embassy Theatre. As well great Italian inspired cuisine, you can enjoy Seresin wines - including some of what must be the among the last bottles of 2002 Seresin 'Muse' Pinot Noir on the planet (stunning!).

Capitol sits across Kent and Cambridge Terraces from the Downstage Theatre, which Michael Seresin's father, Harry, was instrumental in establishing. If your lunch lengthens to become dinner, you will see Wellington's nightlife cascading down Courtenay Place towards you.
