We might not be able to get to South-east Asia right now but one of the newest additions to Wellington’s dining scene will transport you there via its menu of modern pan-Asian dishes, many of them plant-based. The brick walls of the 60-seat dining room at Lola Rouge, which you’ll find on the entrance level of the seriously cool Naumi Studio Wellington hotel, glow with red neon, while velvet-covered booths, pastel pink round tables, orb pendants and dark floors all add to the sophisticated luxe vibe.
