Bracken

Bracken Restaurant in Dunedin offers a remarkable dining experience, considering the size of our charming city. It's a gem that brings the delightful essence of Scotland to our local culinary scene. The dishes are not only beautifully presented but also feature a harmonious blend of complementary flavors on every plate. The courses flow seamlessly, creating a delightful symphony of tastes on your palate. The ambiance in the lounge is equally enjoyable, adding to the overall experience. Everything was perfect and I totally recommend - best restaurant in Dunedin.

A first class dining experience at Bracken. From the moment we walked in the door the service was fantastic. Outstanding food, we had the 7 courses with matching wines, and the wine matchings were all an excellent choice. Jacqueline and David have a brilliant restaurant, fine dining but relaxed, and in a wonderful setting. A fabulous food experience. If this is what you’re looking for I highly recommend you go to Bracken. You will not be disappointed.

This is an outstanding restaurant and one of the best dining experiences we’ve 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 David’s 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, David’s partner Jacqueline was charming and knowledgeable with the matched wines and great conversation. All in all, it’s a brilliant restaurant where you can taste a chef’s passion for showcasing beautiful ingredients in a unique way and Jacqueline’s desire to make every experience a positive one. Go there - it’s superb.
