Welcome to Finc Dining Room
Finc dining room is a unique space that has retained some of the history in Wellington. The building was built in 1935, with the facade still exhibiting the original features of the era, but the interior now houses apartments above.
Finc ('food incorporated') has kept the old features of the ground level space with the high studs and the original old mosaic tiles and furnished it with long banquet seating and bentwood chairs. It's cosy, comfortable feel makes it a great place to relax between the Lambton quarter and Courtenay Place.
The food is varied, cafe style fare from early morning offering counter food and a breakfast brunch menu to a fully licensed lounge bar and dining room in the evening, offering an al a carte menu.
Finc is a fantastic venue for pre concert dining with its location opposite the Town Hall and the Michael Fowler centre. In the weekend it's a great place to relax and have brunch or high tea on a Sunday with a stroll down to the water front later, or a shop around the Cuba Street area.

Have had breakfast here once -- the ricotta and blueberry pancakes. Amazing!! Best breakfast I've ever had. Very tasty, gourmet and filling. Service was great -- unobtrusive. Atmosphere was nice, we had our own little booth which kept the noise out. Would love to come back for lunch or dinner sometime

I never like to review a place badly if I have only been there once, so I tried this place again and the same problem. The service is very poor. First time, we waited over 40 minutes for our breakfast and 2nd time we were forgotten about and had to order at the counter. Food is so-so. I definitely don't think our breakfast was worth $45 (for two), the flavours were bland. Really nice cafe for coffee and cake but meal wise, not recommended.

Interesting food and great atmosphere. The food at Finc always strikes me as slightly unconventional or experimental, however I always enjoy it, and when friends or family come to visit this is where I take them.

Have been here on several occassion and have tried their breakfast , lunch and dinner treats! Their service is great. Their coffees are literally so good, nice and hot, never burnt. They serve some unusual food such as leg of rabbit which is really tasty as well as old favourites which made it an awesome place to bring my family for my Grad, my Grandad could enjoy his Fish and chips and everyone else could enjoy more gourmet treats. Their desserts are out of this world amazing and they also have delicious counter food including a roti wrap which is extremely tasty.

This is a great cafe! I had the asian bowl which was fantastic and full of flavour. The staff were friendly and knew exactly what they were doing. My friend brought along his 1 year old son who was able to hang out there no problems....although they did not have a change station in the toilets. I also liked the bottle of wine in the paper bag. You get a bottle of wine about $10 cheaper than your normal bottle but the catch is that it comes in a brown paper bag so you cannot tell what it is. A novel way to shift older stock!
