We had a whirlwind 2 days in Wellington, we were supposed to have 3 days, but ended up spending the majority of the first day hiking in Tongario National Park and got to Wellington really late in the day. People on our trip kept asking what we were going to do in Wellington. I kept telling them I was going to drink excellent coffee and eat. What? They would say. I'm going to eat! So when we got to town, the first thing we did was....EAT. With recommendation from one of our friend's friends (Charlie, who lived in Wellington for 6ish months) we had a lovely dinner at a restaurant called Sweet Mother's Kitchen. Incidentally, it had a ton of Cajun food, smothered okra, hush puppies, gumbo, jambalaya, all covered in Saints paraphernalia, and Mardi Gras masks (the walls, not the food). Yeah. I think the Kiwis like 'dem Cajuns... it was the second place in NZ that we happened upon that had Cajun food.
