I thought that was pretty good. The views of the ocean from the restaurant are lovely. They do have a few sidewalk tables but it was chilly and only one couple dared to try that. I chose the ravioli which was a meatless option. It was so good. We split the focaccia bread, served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Service was fantastic. A lovely server from Italy waited on our table. She was so fun to talk to. The place was hopping. Definitely a local fav. Great experience.

Recommended as the place to stop-in for fresh seafood while visiting Dunedin, my brother and I were…read moreable to get fish'n'chips for carryout. It was good. We came in during the later afternoon. One of the guides at the cruise terminal had recommended that Bluff oysters were in season, and the best place to get it was a restaurant near the town center: Best Cafe. So we took the shuttle into town from the cruise port (about a 25 minute ride), and immediately searched out the cafe. The inside is airy with a good arrangement of tables. A sign clearly indicated that they were out of oysters (and mussels) for the day, which I have to admit was really disappointing. But the fish fry was recommended as well, so decided to try that. There were open tables, but the constraint was how much fish they could deep fry at one time, so were told a 25 minute wait. They do have a separate door for carryout, so decided to do that instead. We placed and paid for our order, was quoted a time similar to the dine-in wait time (since the fish still had to be cooked). It was ready exactly at the time quoted, and was still piping hot and oily as we ate it walking down the sidewalk while going to the next stop. Blue Cod fillet (NZ$12 for two fillets), elephant fish (NZ$8.50 for one fillet) - Fries cooked in beef tallow (NZ$4.50). All of it was served together, and it was really well fried. The fries were great. The fish was good: the batter was light and really accentuated the large portions of fresh fish used. It was first time eating elephant fish, and it was ok...very firm, not oily at all. The blue cod is really a good fish for fish'n'chips, and is something I would get again for a fish fry. Squid Rings (1/2 dozen for NZ$9) - they were large and definitely fresh. The same batter as the fish was used, and wasn't as successful on the slippery squid, especially for on-the-go. Next time, we will come earlier to try the recommended oysters and different fishes offered and try it dine-in.

Not…read moreonly did what I believe was the owner allow us to come, she also came to greet us at the end to make sure our food was good. Unfortunately, they were out of a lot of their menu items so we were limited in what options there were. However, despite that, the food was still tasty. I can't say this is the best fish and chips I've had, but it was still very solid. Both the sole and blue cod were great, though I did prefer the blue cod more. They also had a fried pineapple which reminded me of a sugared donut outside but pineapple inside which was an interesting try (wouldn't say amazing but unique) Inside look like what you'd expect from a family owned shop. There's nothing special inside, but given how friendly they are I would definitely come here for good food and friendly staff.
