As the name implies, there’s more to Spirit House than great food and good times. This Asian inspired restaurant serves food that is not only fresh but full of flavours too. Literally all dishes can be made vegetarian, and they’ve got lots of gluten-free and vegan options. We personally loved the pad Thai: it’s white rice noodles cooked with their fresh bean sprouts, spring onion and crushed peanuts in their special sauce, served with fresh lemon and sprout. Spirit House is by far one of the best vegetarian restaurants in Wellington, experience it for yourself!
