From the north, approach Wellington on the Motorway, come off at Aotea Quay and follow the harbour road all the way around, past the Westpac Stadium, onto Waterloo Quay. Continue all the way, onto Customhouse Quay and Jervois Quay, past Frank Kitts Park, eventually bearing left onto Cable Street. The restaurant is located within the Museum Hotel on the right hand side, after Te Papa Museum.

From the south, head into Wellington on SH-1 towards Basin Reserve Park. At the Park, head north off the roundabout up Cambridge Terrace, all the way to the end, left up Wakefield Street, then right up Tory Street. The Museum Hotel is at the end at the junction with Cable Street.

	Hippopotamus Restaurant & Bar Overview Exquisite fine dining opposite Wellington Harbour in this third floor restaurant inside the Museum Art Hotel. Stunning, ornate decor, five-star service and food that looks far too good to eat. With its marine views, large tables and high-class ambience, Hippopotamus is one of Wellington's most sought-after places to eat. Often booked up weeks in advance, the restaurant offers a range of menus to suit everyone's timetable, from Lunch Set Menus, Corporate Menus, Pre-Show Dining Menus and a standard A La Carte. The Brasserie Lunch Menu wouldn't look out of place in a first-class dinner restaurant, with delights such as Poached Scampi in a Clam Veloute, and Salmon Sashimi in the entrees section, and Braised Pork Belly, Beef Fillet and Sirloin Steak in Red Wine & Butter Sauce for the main. For dinner, the bar is raised even higher. Sauteed snails are a popular choice for starters, and the Beef Ribs with Polenta and Dauphinoise Potatoes are a star attraction. Any visit to Hippopotamus, though, isn't complete with both a sumptuous dessert and a nightcap in the opulent bar area. You'll be treated like royalty here, right down to the complimentary valet parking and personal table service.
