Once you’re back on Wellington’s magnificent waterfront you’ve got fabulous options for dinner before the World of WearableArt. Housed in the iconic Beehive building on Parliament grounds, Bellamys has traditionally been an exclusive restaurant. In the past, only politicians and their associates could dine there. Bellamys by Logan Brown has changed that. The owners behind one of Wellington’s most beloved fine-dining restaurants Logan Brown have set up shop in a building steeped in New Zealand’s political history. For a truly unique experience, you can have a pre-show dinner with a WOW-inspired menu.
