A great family restaurant, excellent food great portions, excellent service and a good view. Salad boat is not operating under level 2 restrictions, but, plates of salad are provided on the table (first 2 photos). We had a party of 12 people!
All light meals, Chicken tenders, Fisherman's basket, chicken breast, stuffed mushrooms, scallop mornay, vegetable lasagna, Blueberry cheese cake, Dutch apple crumble.
Always guarantee a good meal.
The location of this place is just wow. Enjoying food and drinks at a beachfront is so cool. I loved this place so much. Haven’t tried much of there food but still would love to go there again whenever i visit NZ. The Drinks are costly but worth the ambience.
Driven past a few times. Decided to give it a try out. Seen some good reviews and some bad.Was pleasantly surprised. Some reviews said the decor was not that good. I found it quite nice and in keeping with restaurants fish theme. The waitress who served us was pleasant but appeared a little tired. Maybe because of how busy the restaurant was. The meals were delivered fairly promptly and mine was excellent. My wife said she had, had better seafood chowder elsewhere. There were some floury lumps in hers. It was OK but she would order the pan fried fish next time. Also found that this restaurant was great value for money. Overall a pleasant experience. Would have liked to sit outside but the weather was against that. Would we go back. Yes this is on our repeat visit list. A great place to take friends, family and visitors.
We had a great night at Fisherman’s Table. Service was excellent and the food was the bomb.
Celebrated my mums 78th bday.
Big ups to all the staff.
Nga mihi nui Mihaka Whanau
For the price (from $16.95 for a light meal) you getting straightforward no-nonsense food with all you-can-eat from the salad bar. As others have pointed out it is not gourmet dining here. The times I have been the food has been well cooked and service has been prompt. Decor is dated and could well do with a face-lift. Recommended.
This is a really good family restaurant which I would recommend. I took 2 friends for Sunday lunch as a treat and we were all impressed by the fast and friendly service, the choice of menu items and the price - under $20 for a 'light' meal which was a good portion size, cooked to order and included your choice from the self-selection hot vegetables or salad bar. A+
I have visited this Fisherman's Table a number of times with family, and have never been disappointed. The service, food, and atmosphere have been excellent and an experience I have been happy to repeat. If anything isn't right? They rectify it immediately and are grateful to know! Most professional and friendly. They deserve a 5 in my book. Best eat-out place I have personally been to. Great for me, as I have a very restricted diet yet am able to find something on the meal and enjoy the experience of eating out (not common for me).
Bloody great mate. Would rate eight outta eight. Food was nicely priced. Dat salad bar, how could you forget. 7 dollar beer Stella artois and corona? Of course mate. Decor bloody beaut. There was a painting and I couldn't tell if it was a haul of fish or a carpet, much intrigue, very mystery. Going back this weekend to find out
Awesome how there's an all you can eat salad bar. I usually get fish in mornay sauce and it's delicious! Too bad it's so far away, super nice view and sometimes you can feed a chip or two to the seagulls lurking outside.
Buffet style salads..we ordered the steak, fish burger and fish&chips. Food we ordered was amazing, and the scenery with the waves in the distance was 👍. Only downside was every time you refilled on the salad the servers would stare lol awkard!!!
Been going for at least 10 years. Family and friends love the seafood menu and quality desserts. Great birthday and celebration venue. Value for money if you choose right.
along with my family we have been eating at this restaurant for 20 years,the food has always been good eating,the staff are always friendly,the view that you get with the meal at sunset is great,the price is fair for the amount my family can eat,I most recommend the T-bone cooked just the way you want,as for those that have given such bad reviews would they be willing to have their own cooking judged?myself i have traveled many place tried many types of food cooked many ways,i also cook many different types food myself,Fisherman table is a great family restaurant to take your family and friends
Quite surprised by the people who seem to expect this to be a gourmet restaurant, especially as the price of a meal is advertised on a large board at the front as you go in. The inside of the Fisherman's Table Paekakariki is pleasant, the staff are polite and efficient, and the food is exactly what I would expect, down to earth, honest food. My husband usually has fish which he really enjoys, and I have the vegetarian lasagne, which I find delicious, there is a nice range of salads in the salad boat, plus hot vegetables and soup. Considering that patrons can help themselves to as much as they like from the salad boat, I find this restaurant generous, and comfortingly, I know exactly what to expect when eating there. Thank you for catering to the market that you do, Fisherman's Table.
Great service, didn't even wait 20 mins for our meal, lovely salads, yummy dessert, over all will definitely be going back and recommending it to other people. Reasonable prices as well, under $60 for both of us :)

Took my family or Christmas style lunch day before Christmas day.Good job we had booked ahead as the place was full.We were shown to our table which was next to a window looking out to the marvellous coastal view for which this restaurent is famous and our orders taken promptly.The menu is not haute cuisene but nor are the prices,just family style food served in an attractive way.As it was Christmas week the "specials" board featured roast Turkey and this is what my wife and I chose.Considering how busy it was there our meals came within minutes and accompanied by salads from the salad bar we had a substantial meal.
For desert my wife choose a big hunk of pavlova with whipped cream and icecream whereas I was tempted by christmas pudding with whipped cream and brandy sauce flavoured by REAL brandy.Both of our courses were delicious.The total cost of this for my wife and I came to $63 including drinks,not bad for a christmas meal.
Will I go back? Of course I will! Been calling on this restaurent since my first visit as a two year old in 1942 when it was known as the Centennial Inn!
We have always enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. It is a great stop for us from the Manawatu going to or from Wellington for a very reasonably priced meal which takes very little time. We enjoy the view and selection and think it is great value for money. There are not many restaurants now with a salad bar and we appreciate that. There a huge choice of restaurants and it is easy to pay 3 times the cost for a meal that you pay at Fisherman's Table. We consider it good value for the money and very much enjoy the outlook and the staff are lovely and very accommodating. Parking is not a problem either.
I realise a five may be alot.... buttt to me this place is stunning for what it does. The food may be more...not fine dining.. but for what you get...it is amazing..... and the staff...i wish every restaurant taught there staff like that. The staff are polite, very friendly , always repeat the order and always seem like they are happy to be there. 10+ for staff.
The salad boat is always refilled promptly.
The chips to accompany the meals are cooked perfectly.
My companion loves the chicken tenderloins and i cant go past the scallops mornay. Delicious!!!!!!!!!!!
My little heaven.
WOW SO BEAUTIFUL INTEND to go here often !

A table of five of us visited today for Mothers Day and we had a lovely evening meal. We have visited this restaurant many times in the past and always enjoy the stunning views and lively atmosphere. Had a good time. :)
The cocktails were impressive - I ordered the fallen angel which was creamy and just perfect! and the chocolate scallop desert was divine.. with a big chocolate scallop mold from the Kapiti chocolate factory - highly recommend!!. I also ordered salmon for my main which was nice and like all the other mains costed $15.95 - including all you can eat from the salad boat. :)
One recommendation I would give is place is that the mains should have a bit of salad on the plate with the main to make it look more fancy and slightly more staff? it was very busy and we had to be a bit assertive to get the waitresse's attention. However the meal included salad from the boat.. and we all took two helpings .. good place to go if your hungry!
Overall I would recommend The Fisherman's Table, its the ideal family restaurant
Four of us dropped in for an evening meal. The chowder was beaut and we all enjoyed our meals and service.
One comment was if there could be a greater variety of fish?
But a great evening all the same.
I have been to Fishermans Table twice and each time it has been wonderfully i have never been to a restaurant that cares about there diners as much as this restaurant. Nothing was any trouble the food was hot and delicious and no waiting long for the food the staff here are great really friendly. And i have recommended this restaurant to all my friends and family and will be coming again for my dads birthday.
I just love this low cost family restaurant. you get what you pay for its always a great place to have large gatherings and the staff are excellent and well trained.when I go past the fisherman's table I always think of childhood gatherings,teen gatherings and family coming together for a great evening.
Other than celery in most of the salads, the meal was great. We hadn't booked so couldn't have a window seat, but the view from the table was still good.
Fisherman's Table in Wellington is a culinary delight that seafood and meat lovers must experience. The restaurant's menu is a seafood lover's dream, with a wide array of fresh and flavorful dishes, along with great meat options. From succulent grilled fish to delectable seafood platters, every bite is a taste of the ocean. The standout feature is their all-you-can-eat salad option, which offers a tantalizing selection of crisp, vibrant greens and an assortment of toppings to create your own perfect salad. Whether you're a vegetarian or a seafood aficionado, this option ensures a fulfilling and satisfying dining experience. Combined with the warm and attentive service, Fisherman's Table is a must-visit destination for seafood enthusiasts in Wellington.
Great place to go for dinner. It is one of the best spots for sunsets along the Kapiti coast. Great staff. Cold drinks. Surprisingly, the menu was really good. Something for everyone. There is always a parking spot outside. I think, as we did, people just drive past this place and have the wrong impression about it. Highly recommend stopping in and having dinner on sunset.
We Just love as a family to have a meal. and the beach view is just wonderful.
Absolutely enjoyed our meals and left feeling full! We hadn't been here in years and I love how the menu hasn't changed and they still have the all you can eat salad boat! I had the deep fried camembert for entree which was the same as I remembered! The pan fried fish was fresh and the apple crumble delicious. Great sea views and service. It was really busy too which shows families love coming back!
Five stars all around. The restaurant was busy but I called ahead and got a great booth next to the spectacular view of the waves.
Customer service was friendly.
Prices were really good and the food was delicious.
I'll definitely return next time I'm in town.

Nice view! The garlic bread was impressively soft and yum 😍 The gulls wanted a bit too… but sorry! We are not feeding wild birds 😏 Seafood Hot pot fantastic choice 👍🏼
Very good location, with a spectacular view of the ocean. Menu includes both sea food and land food. The service is quick and the food is delicious. Prices are okay, in line with the quality of the place.
Service and food came out quickly even when very busy. I've never had to wait for very long for my food here. All staff are friendly, have never had a bad impression from them. Love the all you can eat salad boat. Its always full, and quickly replenished during busy times.
I had the salmon fillet, light meal with croquettes (including the all you can eat salad boat). I always get the salmon and its always done perfectly, its never dry. Really happy with this place, have always had a great experience at Fishermans Table.
Awesome food. Awesome people and very very fast service with their delicious food. And you can dine with ocean by your side encouraging you eat more seafood lol. Don't even get me started on the unlimited salad bar... OMG roast potatoes are the best.😋😋😋🦪🦪

Whenever we are in the are, we stop by here for lunch, early dinner or even just dessert and coffee.
The restaurant is quite famous for its seafood selection but also serve steak, chicken and more. The menu starts from 22.90 including the chance to enjoy all-you-can-eat salad bar.
We usually order seafood chowder (one of my favorite), steak with mushroom sauce, chicken tenderloin, seafood basket and the garlic bread (I really love this one, crunchy and rich in butter and garlic). I have tasted the fish and chips, fish of the day as well as salmon. You can have them with fries or croquette or hal-half. Love the all.
The salad bar has many choices as well, including potato salad, pasta, yellow rice, greek salad, fresh lettuce and warm potato wedges, caulifowers with cream and carrots as well as kerupuk or crackers.
Desserts are available for NZD12, with ice cream as my kids' favorite.
I usually eat in the back part overlooking the ocean, but we have to be carefull with the greedy seagulls. They can be very noisy so make sure you don't feed them, otherwise they will come and stay in your spot.
It has ramp for wheelchairs and wheelchair-friendly entrance as well as table and seat.
Happy to be back here again
The rib eye steak I had was tasty and cooked as ordered. Others with me had fresh fish, and they enjoyed, too. The all-you-can-eat salad was great.
Despite a very busy Sunday lunch, the service was good. We were well served by the waitress.
Great view of the sea and Kapiti Island.
Would come again.
An absolute delight, great staff, know their job well, very prompt dinner service, well priced, great atmosphere, awesome Ocean views. Solid menu. Totally worth visiting.
First time here and had a wonderful experience. Weather was fine, bright and sunny so we chose to sit outside, enjoying the sea view and gentle breeze.
The place was themed, with fishermen things, feels like going onto a big boat. When we came, we were greeted in the most friendly way.
Our server was fast, polite and attentive.
We ordered our meals. I went for the pan fried fish of the day (butterfish), with half and half chips and croquette.
While waiting for the meals to arrive, we had our go with the salad bar (boat). There were plenty of choices, and seems to be well topped up. All of us enjoyed it.
Overall had a good time, brilliant weather, good food and value for money.
Beautiful view outside. Good service and friendly staff. The food is great , will definitely visit again. well done 👍🏻
