Highwater Eatery - Popular Modern Casual Dining on Cuba Street.

Highwater is a warm and relaxed eatery and bar set in a stylish, modern industrial space that has quickly become a favourite for locals and visitors alike.

The menu offers creative, contemporary takes on comforting classics, with nearly everything made in-house using the finest locally sourced ingredients.  From perfectly balanced burrata with persimmon, quince vinegar, and mandarin honey to the freshest oysters served three ways and melt-in-your-mouth, slow-cooked spiced lamb, each dish is crafted with care.

The thoughtfully curated drinks list features classic cocktails with a Highwater twist, local beers, and a great selection of NZ and international wines - from fun drops to fine gems.

Also open for Saturday brunch, Highwater serves favourites like house-made bacon, Wagyu pasta, and organic veggie bowls, plus locally roasted Rich coffee - making it a great choice any time of day.

With a strong focus on sustainability and ethical produce, the set menus are a popular option and a great way to enjoy the full experience.

Whether you're after a casual meal out, celebrating an occasion, or simply enjoying a drink at the bar, make sure to visit Highwater to experience one of Wellington's best.
