Bracken Restaurant

This is an outstanding restaurant and one of the best dining experiences weve had anywhere, let alone in Dunedin or NZ. The decor is simple, welcoming and intimate - a perfect setting for the food that awaits. For a big guy Davids light touch is like magic. Every dish in the delicious menu is balanced beautifully and seasoned to perfection. The sweetbreads were a standout for us, but every course in the seven-course degustation journey was utterly delicious. At the front of house, Davids partner Jacqueline was charming and knowledgeable with the matched wines and great conversation. All in all, its a brilliant restaurant where you can taste a chefs passion for showcasing beautiful ingredients in a unique way and Jacquelines desire to make every experience a positive one. Go there - its superb.

(Translated by Google) It's a nice and cozy Scottish restaurant. We had the New Year's Eve menu, which was tasty, but unfortunately far too little! The food itself was very nicely presented and the service was very good. (Original) Es ist ein schnes und gemtliches schottisches Restaurant. Wir hatten das Silvestermen, das zwar schmackhaft, aber leider viel zu wenig war! Das Essen selbst war sehr hbsch angerichtet und der Service sehr gut.
