"Exceptional fish and (five kinds of!) chips."

Matthew Seow

"Mt Vic Chippery (practically across the road from Ortega) quite possibly the best fish & chip shop I've been to (and I live in Britain). Fresh fish fillets are displayed and you can choose your batter (beer, tempura, panko, grilled, etc) and you can get a whole variety of chips including kumara (sweet potato). Fresh and yum!"

Nick Gray

"Reasons The Chippery is Awesome: Healthy- It significantly upgrades the “Fish and Chips” experience to fine dining levels of food quality, Fast - As long as there isn’t a huge line, Local - The fish comes from places in New Zealand such as The Cook Straight, Hawkes Bay, Taranaki, Gisborne, or The Chatham Islands."

"Imagine a fish and chip shop where everything is made from scratch using locally-sourced ingredients – this is it!"

Izzy Sellars

"For a bit of a fancy take on a Kiwi classic, head to the Mt Vic Chippery. Fish and chips never looked so good."

Melanie Hillier

"Eating fish and chips on the beach is a quintessential New Zealand experience. While in Wellington, do as the locals do and head over to Mt. Vic Chippery to order a truly personalized meal, located just minutes from the beach. Choose the type of fish you want, your choice of batter, and different kinds of chips and sauces. Curly fries anyone?"

Heather Clinton

"On our visit we went away with panko-crumbed groper, herb-crusted blue warehou, fish balls, a vegan burger, homemade tartare sauce and a range of fries. They were all judged to be above average in quality and flavour. And the hand-cut agrias. Oh. My. God. There is just no other comment."

"They start with the finest local ingredients, craft beer batter and hand-cut agria chips are all locally sourced. The fish gets landed in Wellington regularly by their very own commercial fisherman and they work with other local suppliers to ensure quality and variety year round. Their delicious aioli and tartare sauces are made using free-range eggs."

"Fish’n’chips coming right up. Mt Vic Chippery is the best in town, and whilst reflected in the price it is well worth it. There is a huge array of fish available and then you can go on to pick your coating, your chip type (kumara, curly, agria etc) and then any sauces. My praise goes to the kumara chips – hands down the best I have ever had in my life; and this thought is cemented every time I go there."
