About the restaurant

Best tip
It's perfect for a post-exhibition brunch or a relaxed lunch with a side of culture.
You need to try the lamb rassa burger or Chef Chetan’s signature cheese roll.
Look out for the iconic royal-blue coffee cups and light-filled space framed by floor-to-ceiling sliding doors.

Art lovers, meet your new favourite intermission. Bellbird Eatery perches inside The Dowse Art Museum in Lower Hutt, where floor-to-ceiling sliding doors flood the room with light and royal-blue coffee cups add cheeky pops of colour. Chef-owner Chetan Pangam, a two-time Burger Wellington winner and Beef and Lamb New Zealand ambassador, keeps the menu proudly local. Brunch, lunch or dinner, it’s a masterpiece worth framing.
