Our Story

Earth & Monkeys was created from a simple idea: good food should feel nourishing, joyful, and effortless.

We don’t do menus or long waits, just a cabinet full of fresh, beautiful food made by hand, served with great coffee and a genuine smile.

Our Story

Our Philosophy

Our name reflects our philosophy. Earth for honest ingredients, seasonal produce, and simple flavours done well. Monkeys for play, curiosity, warmth, and the love of sharing food with others.

We keep things relaxed, welcoming, and a little bit cheeky, the kind of place you want to come back to.

Our Philosophy

Our Community

Earth & Monkeys is part of the Yellow Seat Group, a Wellington hospitality collective focused on community, care, and celebrating real food. Different spaces, same heart: locally owned, community-minded, and built around making everyday food feel special.

We believe in people first, our teams, our suppliers, and our guests.
