    One of the best Pan-Asian restaurants in Wellington, and what sets it apart is the professional and friendly service, and the bloody awesome flavours popping out of every dish! Thanks to our hosts, who apparently are perennial fans of Dragonfly, they rate this place for...More

    Dinner with the team

    Dragonfly got excellent food to suit all needs. Friendly service that is efficient with minimal fuss. Food is tasty and great value. Drinks list is not bad either and the duck curry is a must.

    Okay, this probably should be close to a five star restaurant. The place was chosen as being vegan friendly and it didn't let some our guests down. All the meat and vegetable dishes were very good (although one guest thought that the mushrooms were a...More

    Excellent Food And Atmosphere. Expensive.

    Dragonfly offers delicious Asian fusion cuisine. The food is excellent, however it is expensive.
