There are so many amazing places to go in Central Otago wine country, but put Bannockburn Hotel at…read morethe top of your list! For starters, the views are killer. We went on a beautiful, warm, sunny summer day just about as soon as they opened. We opted to sit outside for lunch to take in the views and some sunshine. I suppose it's a casual restaurant, but the food is outstanding and the presentation is top notch. The food can be a bit pricey given the tapas style sharable portions, but the thoughtful mix of flavors and fresh ingredients make the experience well worth the price. Naturally they have an extensive wine list boasting local wines and some from other well known international wine regions. It was a rose kind of day, and a glass of the local Terra Sancta rose was perfect. We ordered light - just 3 small plates for the two of us - but it was all delicious. The Baked Empanadas came with three types - beef & provolone, porkbelly & sweet corn puree, and mushroom, provolone cheese and raisins. The Goat Cheese Croquettes were served with local honey, greens and toasted almonds - a must order! I don't eat seafood, but my husband thoroughly enjoyed the Baja Fish Tacos. Take a break from vineyard touring and enjoy a lovely afternoon (or sunset!) at Bannockburn.

This is probably the best restaurant in all of New Zealand, hands down. I am surprised how this…read morerestaurant doesn't have a Michelin star yet. We ordered a tapas sharing menu for dinner, loved the prawns + cider tapas, and the tacos was amazing. I loved how they have designed the pineapples with a fish cod fillet and blend it with some simple sauces. The chorizos are from a nearby town, so some good local flavor blended in. We sat outside on the patio and had an amazing view of the mountains and vineyards. I would def come back here again if I am back in NZ. A must visit!

We were so impressed with their Italian cooking we actually felt like we were in Italy for a moment--especially when looking out the window overlooking Italian-like scenery. Everything taste great. I had the Armandos breakfast which had the best tomato sauce I have ever tasted. My husband had scrambled eggs and toast with bacon which was equally as delicious with their buttery eggs and artisan bread. When and if we ever come back to New Zealand we will definitely be looking for this amazing place! Thank you Armando's Kitchen for an amazing experience!

We dropped in on a Tuesday afternoon (around 2:00pm) and the place was bumping. Everyone was coming in to take advantage of the $12.00 NZD lunch specials (there's 9 options). The dinner menu is pricier but has a bigger selection to choose from; entrees, Thai salads, soups, fried rice, noodles, curries, favourites, kiwi favourites (fish & chips), kids menu and sweet treats. - Chicken stir fried noodles (A) ($12.00 NZD) - egg noodles stir fried with chicken and vegetables. Noodles had a good sauce but came out lukewarm. Vegetables consisted of cabbage, carrots and onions. - Thai chicken yellow curry (D) ($12.00 NZD) - we asked for it medium spicy; get it hot if you want a kick. Medium barely hit mild. The curry itself was pretty tasty but they could have given a bigger scoop of rice. Decent Thai for a small town. 3.5 stars.

Why, because in an area where it was hard to find a really great place right in the center of town this hits the spot for casual outdoor setting with very, very good food (a fantastic burger and good craft beer selection hit the spot).

They seem to be a mom and pop family run restaurant. We dropped in on a Saturday afternoon (around 1:45pm). The inside is actually spacious. Bonus: they were playing some hip, popular music. There's an organic vegetables display right up at the front when you first walk in along with several pre-made takeout sushi boxes. Otherwise, the main menu consists of sushi, bento boxes, platters and hot meals (on rice and soup noodles). - Tempura udon noodles ($15.00 NZD) - it comes with two pieces of prawn and one vegetable tempura. You can opt for a cold or hot broth; we got the latter. Broth came out nice and hot. Noodles had a good bite and broth was homey. - Curry chicken katsu ($12.00 NZD regular) - came with 5 pieces of katsu. Nicely breaded and moist. The curry was really tasty; excellent sauce and a bit more heat than you'd normally expect. Get it. Pleasantly surprised by Sushi Katsu. It hit the spot!
