Bonjour
 
 
ar-ba-tra-zhur
 
Nestled in the heart of Wellington's CBD, Arbitrageur Wine Room & Restaurant is a city institution serving up food from the wine growing areas of the world married with one of the best wine lists in the country.
 
Warm and welcoming, Arbitrageur occupies a beautiful high-ceiling space off busy Featherston Street, decorated with New Zealand art and, above all, wine! Ask for a cellar tour - our 600+ bottle 'cave des vins' occupies an ex-bank vault in the restaurant and speaks to our commitment to bring customers the best accompaniment to our menu.
 
Open Monday through Friday from noon (Saturday from 6pm), whether it be for tapas and antipasti with a glass of Pinot, or a wine-matched menu, join our regulars and enjoy what they do about Arbitrageur Wine Room & Restaurant.
 
A bientôt!

New Faces at Arbitrageur

......................................................................................................

 

This month we would like to welcome a few new faces to the Arbi family: keeping with our frenchy theme we have 5 new additions to our team - all hailing from the Hexagon.  
Joining our kitchen, Sous Chef Sebastien Cogne continues Chris Green’s classic french and european cuisine, bringing his own classical training under Michelin starred chefs to your palates!
On the front of house we say ‘Bonjour’ to Angie and Lilou our french waitresses, Sylvaine our new Sommelier and to Sarah as Maitre d’Hotel.  Although Sarah is not strictly french, 6 years of living in France has rubbed off on her! 
So if you want to practice a bit of ‘francais’ don’t hesitate to chat away to our staff!
