Zampelles — Restaurant in Wellington

Wow... we ordered bacon and egg on toast and eggs benedict, with iced coffee and mocha. No question of how the eggs would like to be cooked on the bacon and eggs. We ordered from where the signs state order here... the system was in a word bizzar... after the guy writes your food order and gives you the handwritten note you have to go to the counter to pay and order your drinks. Our drinks arrive - iced coffee isnt cold, mocha isnt hot... hmmmm. Meals arrive shortly after - young lady places them on the table, walks away. Apparently we use our fingers to eat?... wow... up to the counter to get cutlery. Go to dig in.... bacon on both dishes way undercooked. Not rendered at all. Bacon and eggs... one overcooked fried egg, one egg just runny. Eggs bene... FRIED overcooked eggs, also with undercooked bacon, the hollandaise mustve been out of a bottle with literally no flavour.

The staff are always friendly, very accommodating and extremely efficient at Zampelles! Along side their great selection of beverages, they have a reasonably priced filter coffee which comes with free refills and that's what I buy the most of, (due to having a small budget).

At the self service station there is free chilled and room temperature water available for all, plus, to go with hot drinks etc, there's a variety of sugars, from artificial to regular to raw, along with regular milk, trim milk, cream and you can ask for soy milk, too. I have yet to find any faults at Johnsonville Shopping Centre Zampelles & I highly...

We had a lovely lunch experience at Zampelles Cafe. I always eat at this cafe when I visit Johnsonville. There is a great variety of food, my favourites are the homemade fish pie, and homemade soups. Very generous cheese and onion sandwiches, and delicious chocolate eclairs. We were served by a pleasant young man...I was watching him doing his job, after serving us, he was then clearing tables with a Samoan male. Both doing a great job too. I wanted to speak to the manager, but he/she was not there... so I mentioned to the young lady behind the counter, the great job the two young men were doing. This cafe is of the old school style cafe, real homemade foods, warms my heart. Understandably very...
