A
Whitestone Cheese Factory & Café
The home of tasty, award-winning organic cheeses. Try the creamy Mature Windsor Blue or the ultrarich Mt Domet Double Cream. Buy cheese to take away, or dine here on various cheesy treats after you’ve tried the range of samples for a gold coin donation. The cheese rolls are an Otago delicacy, and there are also local fruit juices and Central Otago wines.

B
Filadelfios
A brick restaurant-bar that specialises in rather special pizzas and pastas. Read other travellers’ notes on the wall while you wait for your meal to arrive. Dips and antipasto are also popular, particularly late at night when it becomes a lively bar.

Harbour St Bakkeri
In the historic precinct, the Harbour St Bakkeri has beaut gourmet pies and the South Island’s best sourdough bread – just perfect with a slab of local Whitestone cheese.

Roost
Good for the day’s first coffee, and the toasted sandwiches ($7 to $12) make it a worthwhile lunch option, too. Grab a seat out the back to soak up the afternoon sun.
