Mt Vic Chippery (5 Majoribanks Street)
Fish’n’chips coming right up. Mt Vic Chippery is the best in town, and whilst reflected in the price it is well worth it. There is a huge array of fish available (listed on a big board – some of the fish I have never even heard of) and then you can go on to pick your coating (beer batter, tempura, crumbed, parmesan and herb crust – just to name a few), your chip type (kumara, curly, agria etc) and then any sauces. If you are not feeling that way inclined there are also burgers, salads and a huge array of other sides. My praise goes to the kumara chips – hands down the best I have ever had in my life; and this thought is cemented every time I go there. It is conveniently located, so that you can go for a wander up Mt Vic and claim on the way home, or even take them down to the beach. It gets even better when you learn that you can order online, pick the exact time for your order to be ready (even hours in advance) and even have them delivered. You can’t go wrong when you come to Mount Vic Chippery, she’s a banger! (Also check out the sister store in Thorndon)
