Bracken

Top choice in Dunedin


Bracken's seasonal tasting menus offer a succession of pretty little plates bursting with flavour. While the dishes are intricate, nothing's overly gimmicky, and the setting, in an old wooden house, is classy without being too formal. Meals can be paired with wine (from $45) or whisky (from $35).
