Welcome.

Culprit serves nostalgic New Zealand cuisine with a modern global edge.

We offer a bi-monthly changing chefs choice menu that champions local ingredients & suppliers. 

Owner & Chef Kyle Street creates playful dishes that are innovative and big on flavour, often with a nod to his uniquely kiwi upbringing.

See you soon,

Kyle & The Culprit Team.

Giving Thanks Banquet

Culprit X Graze

Tuesday 17th November

Max Gordy of Wellington's Graze Wine Bar (originally from Chicago) joins Kyle Street & the Culprit team for a one evening only menu inspired by Thanksgiving.

“Giving Thanks” will be served family style on communal tables, starting with quintessentially Kiwi Kaimoana, followed by an unorthodox roast with all the trimmings.


To finish we will lean heavily into our nostalgic childhoods as we escort you over to Culprit's sister bar, Curio, for an all-you-can-eat sundae bar.
