Bacchus Wine Bar & Restaurant

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

Boasting 33 years of history behind its doors, the venue knows exactly how to make everyone feel welcome. Whether it's a special occasion, an intimate family dinner, or a casual catch-up with friends, Bacchus is the setting you need. When you take your seat here, you know your fellow diners share the same appreciation for fine food and drink as you do.

Gracing us with an incredible menu of culinary delights, Bacchus is every bit as exceptional today as it was back then, albeit a little older and a little wiser. To start, sample their sherry-braised beef cheeks served with parsnip purée. Or, for seafood lovers, try the catch-of-the-day ceviche marinated in lime juice, coconut cream, chilli, and coriander.

Bacchus elevates fine-dining classics with international flair. Standout mains include Silver Fern Farms fillet steak, cooked to perfection on mustard mash with horseradish cream and jus. For a meaty yet fresh plate, try their confit duck leg with ginger, served alongside coconut rice and vibrant mango salsa.

Just like their wine list, you can expect international influences in every dish.
