Such a good breakfast spot.Great service, good atmosphere and fantastic menu. I had the vegan gluten free breakfast tacos and they were great. I am not vegan or gluten free they just looked so good on the menu. Would definitely return :)

Fantastic re-boot for a stodgy and unwelcoming “institution”. Thank God for all the light that now pours in through the café’s excellent position, and a change in vibe from hostile dive to warm and welcoming restaurant.The upgraded menu is superb, with a broad range of tastes and flavor that best encapsulate Kiwi cuisine as better than the rest of the world at their own dishes. Excellent labneh and dukkah easily beat out Middle Eastern originals, pumpkin and cashew fritters bring comfort food to the table by way of Malay flavours.The drinks list is also impressive with sugar-free fizzies, an inviting array of sakes and even Bru Kvas for the indulgent and intrepid. The beer list offers up the best craft beers from Garage Project, Tuatara, and Kereru among others and the wine list portends to the sommelier’s real love for setting the list. Made true when discussing food and drink with the friendly staff.Go here for lunch and stay on til dinner, the offerings are worth it, putting quality food down at good prices. And enjoy an Aperol spritz while you observe the new clientele, an excellent departure from the grumpy, fat people who used to complain about small portions of chips and busy staff.

Lido is consistently one of my favourite cafes in Wellington. The coffee and food are delicious (and it certainly helps that they have a well rounded wine list and selection of brunch cocktails!) The service is always welcoming and lovely, whether you're there with a group or by yourself, in for a quick coffee or lingering for the afternoon; it's the perfect spot for all situations!I haven't been in for dinner yet, but can't wait to do so. I recently had the corn and haloumi fritters and they were delicious! Good flavours, very filling, with a light salad and tasty chutney on the side to cut through it. Perfect with a glass of red for a late lunch! Thanks to everyone at Lido!

This was the culinary highlight of my trip to Wellington! Food was fresh and so so delicious, staff was really friendly and the prices are fine as well. Definitely a must-go for every foodie!

An old favourite and have been eating here since the 1980s. The Lido is likely one of Wellington's first real 'cafes' with more than fried eggs on toast and instant coffee in the eighties. The brunches are always sorted and coffee excellent. Not sure how many owners it's gone through but I have not had a bad meal here in 23 plus years which is amazing. Today's latte and eggs Benedict is no different.

The Lido for brunch came highly recommended and while the food (Avocado on toast with haloumi) was OK, it was the service I enjoyed the most. Very friendly and welcoming staff who were attentive and conversational which I really appreciate.

A nice busy place in the morning. Coffee was quite good, however my mushroom toast looks really fancy but tasted abit underwhelming. The taste was just not there yet resulting in a slightly bland mushroom toast. A bit of caramelised onions would probably have fixed that with slightly more creamy gravy (was almost dry with the exception of some oil). Maybe it's just a different style but I did not enjoy the taste as much as the looks.
