About
EATERY & WINE BAR
Highwater is a modern inner-city restaurant and bar serving seasonal, flavoursome food, using traditional techniques to make nearly everything in-house.
We celebrate local, sustainable and ethical produce, working with local growers, and supporting like-minded suppliers and producers.
We have a carefully curated drinks list on offer with a selection of NZ & International wines from vineyards with sustainable viticulture and organic growing practices, locally brewed beers and great coffee from our friends at Rich coffee.
We are big on being open, honest and inclusive with our guests, and hope to encourage curiosity and conversation around food and drink, whilst being a warm and enjoyable place where everyone feels welcome.
We are open for all day Breakfast on Saturday & Sunday, Lunch Fridays & Dinner Tuesday to Saturday.
You can find us on lower Cuba street, Wellington.
Sustainability
Sustainability for us goes beyond the menu; we are making a continued and concerted effort. Some things we are doing are:
Minimising our wastage in diverting waste to landfill by composting food scraps and recycling.
Using cleaning products that are currently New Zealand’s leading environmentally friendly, hospitality grade products.
We are straw-free and use bio-degradable takeaway packaging.
We encourage BYO keep cups and takeaway food containers by offering a discount. We also stock and sell beautiful handcrafted pottery keep cups by local potter Galit Maxwell, which we hope will encourage keep cup purchases.
Our electricity is generated from 100% renewable sources.
We will be continually looking for ways to minimise waste and increase our sustainability efficiency.
