Fidel's Cafe - Wellington

Fidels Cafe on Cuba Street truly lives up to its high ratings on Yelp and other review platforms. The carne asada sandwich was presented on freshly baked bread...

I've visited this restaurant numerous times, and it never ceases to impress me. It's the type of establishment that tends to get very crowded, so be prepared to wait for a table.

As soon as you step into the restaurant, you can feel a refreshing atmosphere. However, given the current post-COVID situation, I find Fidel's prices to be quite unreasonable.

Fidel's is a Wellington staple. The food is excellent, and the atmosphere is lively and engaging. The staff is friendly and attentive, making it a fantastic spot for brunch. We arrived at 10 am, anticipating a long wait due to its popularity, but were pleasantly surprised to wait just a few minutes. The staff are incredibly efficient and welcoming.

We’d heard positive things about Fidel’s and was excited to give it a go as it had a good range of vegetarian options for brunch. The food did not disappoint! However, the service speed and attentiveness was a huge let down and made the experience at Fidel’s a bit chaotic and not relaxing. We’re hoping we caught them on a bad day as everyone else speaks highly. Staff were very polite when spoken too, we just felt we had to chase and wait abit longer than other people who had come in after us for certain things.
