We know you shouldn’t judge a restaurant by its light fixtures but it’s
hard not to when the stunning specimens are made from curtain pulleys
reclaimed from the late Pantages Theatre further along Hastings Street.
Housed in a building from 1888, Wildebeest
has been drawing crowds to its 1930s Toledo’s lab stools that bring you
up to eye level with your waiter.
All the better to order the more-ish smoked Castelvetrano olives and the
delicious country paté that comes in its own mason jar.
Do order a bottle of the Helena rosé (just $21) sourced from a tiny
producer in Italy and named for his daughter.
And speaking of children, the restaurant was named by an owner’s son,
whose favourite animal is the wildebeest.
Will it be yours, too?Sarah Bancroft
