The Dunedin city is New Zealand’s third largest city with a rich history. It is famous for being a city of art, food, wine and film. Every year there are festivals held to celebrate wine, food, beer art and more. The city is also very beautiful with great sceneries, places to visit and a lot of historical buildings to see. Now whether you want to eat at a flash local restaurant or have a takeaway this city has it all. We all want to eat great local authentic food that represents their culture.
We know that finding the best place to eat can be a hassle. We spend hours reading through Trip Advisor reviews in hope that others have had positive experiences, but the thing is that people have different taste, so what someone else might like you may not. It can take a lot of time and research to find the right place that suits your taste and you have to make sure the food will be good.
We can admit that we have all been there, we find a place we think offers the best food but it ends in disappointment and waste of money. Luckily we have done all the research for you, we have been through all the restaurants and takeaways and even tried their food. So we can confirm the places below offer quality food. For these places to be listed here they had to pass our list of checklist requirements which includes quality of food, customer service, price, location and authenticity.
