Limon is truly an authentic looking spot and always popular with international visitors (based on my observations). The restaurant boasts a very pretty dinner setting with the late sun streaming across the water. This tapas menu, however, must come with this warning - when they say large plates, they mean really large. The menu admits they are bigger than your traditional tapas, but three large plates are more than enough for that many people. I chose from their delicious seafood selection, the chorizo and prawns always a winner for spice lovers, scallops wrapped in prosciutto is my favourite dish here and you can't go wrong with the succulent mussels. I must say they're all very rich foods, so my advice, opt for small and get a side salad to balance it all out.
Pescado
Wynyard Quarter has become a dinning destination hotspot and being a long time Pescado fan it gives me great pleasure to see the place buzzing. Ambiance (aka people watching) like this really adds to a dining experience in my book. The waiters are thorough and polite, despite a full house they are tentative and the food is quick to arrive. I love the calamari and haloumi resting on a small green salad and the cigarillo filled with buffalo feta and fresh herb puree. If you've got room for some carbs, add the chunky agria potatoes to the mix. Pescado's collection of cute furniture creates cozy spots as well as more sociable areas and it's pretty easy on the purse strings too.
