Riverstone Kitchen

Top choice in Dunedin & Otago


A riverstone fireplace and polished concrete floors set the scene for a menu that's modern without being overworked. Award-winning chef Bevan Smith sources much of his produce from the extensive on-site kitchen gardens (go for a stroll, they're impressive), adding locally sourced venison, pork, salmon, beef and wine.
