About the Business
Welcome to Aye! Empanadas & More, located at 43 Coutts Street, Wellington, New Zealand. As an establishment, food, point of interest, and restaurant, we are proud to bring a taste of Argentina to the vibrant city of Wellington.
Founded by Ayelen and Sebastian, two passionate Argentinians, our journey began in June 2019. After much success, we opened our first shop and production center in Kilbirnie in August 2020. Building on this momentum, we expanded our reach by opening a second store in Oriental Bay in November 2021. Additionally, we co-own Buenos Aires Café, which has been serving the Wellington community since March 2021.
At Aye! Empanadas & More, we specialize in handcrafted baked turnovers. Our empanadas feature a homemade pastry, filled with fresh and well-combined ingredients. We take pride in bringing the most popular flavors from Argentina and adding our special touch to each bite. Whether you're craving traditional beef, chicken, or vegetarian options, our empanadas are sure to satisfy your taste buds.
In addition to empanadas, we offer traditional Argentine pastries known as "alfajores." These delightful treats consist of two delicate, melt-in-your-mouth biscuits with dulce de leche sandwiched in between. Dulce de leche is a creamy caramel confection made from milk and sugar, adding a rich and indulgent flavor to each bite.
If you're looking for a special dessert for an occasion, we also make whole cakes upon request. Whether it's a birthday, anniversary, or any other celebration, our cakes are made with love and attention to detail.
Furthermore, our empanadas are a high-quality product that can be a great addition to the menu at Cafés, Bars & Restaurants. With our zero waste approach, you can enjoy our delicious empanadas without worrying about excess food waste. We offer two different sizes, making it easy to cater to your specific needs.
Speaking of catering, we are pleased to offer our services for a variety of events. From corporate meetings and morning teas to birthdays and weddings, we can create a customized menu that will impress your guests. Our team is dedicated to providing exceptional service and ensuring that your event is a success.
So whether you're looking for a quick lunch, a delectable dessert, or catering for your next event, Aye! Empanadas & More is here to satisfy your cravings. Come visit us at our Wellington locations and experience the flavors of Argentina right here in New Zealand.

Reviews
"Loved the Empanadas. Got the Chicken and also the Ham and Mozarella. Preferred the Mozarella Empanadas. More cheesy gooey. Pastry was perfect. Also got their Alfajores. So good!!!"
"It's a small, basic establishment that delivers great quality food. I have tried each kind of empanada (not the desserts yet) and they are fantastic. I went with a Latin friend who says the taste is authentic. Recommended."
"Found by chance. A great wee place with friendly staff and great food. I had the Champis empanada. A great taste of cheese and mushroom in a lovely baked dough. Followed by a white chocolate sweet treat! Recommend for lovers of pies, sweet treats and a great atmosphere."
"Did not enjoy empanadas. My first try and was all disappointed. Staff were friendly and welcoming! Tried their desserts and was too sweet for me. However, I would recommend though for the service and worth it to try !!"
"Amazing empanadas, very authentic dough flavour. We ordered chicken, beef, mushroom and caprese, then we added a vegan and a spinach one, we just couldn’t have enough! The staff was friendly and the service fast. This is a must!"
