I will definitely come back each time I visit my in-laws in Dunedin.

The waitstaff is amazing- the ambience is full of life, the food and wine variety is inclusive, gourmet and very elegantly put together. The bread is warm- DELISH! I got the vegetarian cauliflower entree and boy it was outstanding with the caramelized mushrooms and onions and the beautiful but potent balsamic glaze. The coffee based turkish dessert was a tad heavy and tad too sweet (I know dessert is supposed to be sweet So technically this is on me) but relative to the sugar levels in other restaurants, this one surprised me. Nonetheless- delicious!

Absolutely delicious and open on Mondays! Every meal looked great and the whole table was happy.read more

I chose the ravioli which was a meatless option. It was so good. We split the focaccia bread, served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Service was fantastic. A lovely server from Italy waited on our table. She was so fun to talk to. The place was hopping. Definitely a local fav. Great experience.
