103 Cuba St, Te Aro, Wellington

Rubbing shoulders with Cuba Street institutions, The Ram is a classy, contemporary bistro that blends sophistication with an unmistakably laid-back Wellington vibe. The kind of spot where you can sip on a perfectly balanced cocktail and savour a meal crafted with artistic flair, where the menus are bold without being pretentious.

Step through the striking blue entrance and you’ll find a space that’s as eye-catching as it is welcoming. The rich maroon colour scheme floods the interior without being overwhelming, draped over every surface from the tables and walls to the curtains at the back. Complementing that are the mix of warm wooden textures, from the dowelling on the walls, bar and booths to the timber floors. The combination of seating arrangements - from plush, intimate booths to bar seating - means it’s an ideal venue for all sorts of occasions.

The menu is a celebration of modern bistro dining, featuring an ever-changing selection of seasonal dishes that spotlight the best local produce. Think beautifully prepared classics with a playful twist, like prawn linguine with chili, or The Ram’s signature chicken parmigiana. Even the sides here have earned a reputation - the fries are a must. Pair your meal with a glass of natural wine or let the expert bartenders whip up an inventive cocktail to really kick-start your night.

Sophisticated yet accessible, The Ram is truly a spot that welcomes all, from fine dining aficionados to casual diners just looking for a place doing awesome food. And that perfectly captures the essence of Wellington’s foremost dining precinct.
