In Dunedin, Bacchus has charmed its way into many hearts as New Zealand's longest-standing restaurant.

With 33 years of history, the venue knows exactly how to make every guest feel welcome. Whether it is a special occasion, an intimate family dinner, or a casual catch-up, Bacchus provides the ideal setting. Upon taking a seat, guests will find that fellow diners share that same appreciation for fine food.

Offering an incredible menu of culinary delights, the restaurant is every bit as exceptional today as it was in its early years. To start, sample the braised beef cheeks served on parsnip puree. Alternatively, seafood lovers can enjoy the fresh fish of the day ceviche - marinated in lime juice, coconut cream, chilli and coriander.

The kitchen elevates fine-dining classics with global flair. Standout mains include Silver Fern Farms lamb rump, oven-baked with a sun-dried tomato crust. For a substantial yet fresh plate, try the slow-cooked pork belly with star anise, garlic and hoisin on sticky rice.

Sophisticated influences are evident in every expertly crafted dish.
