Pravda, literal translation “The Truth”, nothing could be more honest about Wellingtons coffee culture. Set in the heart of the city amongst the hustle and bustle of share traders, commuters and visitors to the Lambton shopping precinct. Pravda located in a elegant building of yesteryear, with towering vaulted ceilings from which hang chandeliers of crystal. Stony faces of Russian presidents past stare out from the tapestries, in stark contrast to the warming friendly atmosphere. The menu includes classic European style dishes, that you would expect of a busy modern bistro. Home to Wellingtons own Immigrant Son Coffee, Pravda combines the simplicity of a Italian café with marble topped tables, warming tones of dark wood panelling in the bar where Lenin’s bust watches over proceedings to the relaxed informal dining of its banquet style dining room. Pravda set amongst the sights and sounds of a capital city while availing you some respite from intrusions of a modern world amongst the charm of a bygone era. Pravda as the name implies offers the honest simplicity of bistro food, freshly roasted coffee, wines of the world and the welcome of an old friend.
