We recommend checking out a few of our favourite eateries, which are only just a few of the outstanding array of dining options we are fortunate to have here in Dunedin.
TWO CHEFS BISTRO
An iconic comfortably elegant evening restaurant. Two chefs is run by husband and wife chefs Grant and Helen passionately for 31 years. A lovely French-inspired setting, their Shredded Duck Soup is divine. Ideal for a casual night out or special evening.
NO.7 BALMAC
NO.7 has long been a well-loved favourite of locals and visitors alike. The team serve a creative on-trend seasonal menu with consistently great service. A table by the large fire is an ideal spot to get cosy in the winter.
TITI
Classy but not pretentious, overlooking the beach at St Clair. It's degustation menu is impeccably designed, the service is faultless. Ideal for a special night out. Open for a casual lunch also, so you can take in the views of the ocean and watch the surfers trim across the rolling waves.
THE ESPLANADE
A Dunedin institution, as close as you will get to dining in Italy without the plane ride, an authentic Italian restaurant. It gets busy, noisy, lots of arm-waving, just as you would expect. Open from dawn till dusk. Perch up grab an Aperol spritz and ease into your evening.
BACCHUS WINE BAR & RESTAURANT
Located upstairs in a wonderful heritage building overlooking the Octagon, a long-time firm favourite of ours. Well regarded for their seafood dishes - and probably the best wine list in town.
MOIETY
The new kid on the block has quickly established itself as a destination for creative dishes, in a small cosy intimate atmosphere, the curated set menu of five courses is undeniably of world-class level, matched with carefully chosen wines and rather moreish cocktails.
