Bacchus Wine Bar & Restaurant

The Pork belly was yummy, and the polenta was great. We had the Chardonnay from Hawkes Bay and it was amazing! I had the lemon cheesecake as dessert: so good :) Very nice place to spend a lovely evening!

Stayed in Dunedin for two nights for the first time. Found this restaurant by going through all the menus from all the restaurants at the Octagon. We walked in at 6pm apparently they are fully booked for the night, but they said one table is available until 8pm, we quickly grabbed it. We had the flowerpot bread to start with, it was to die for! The bread is fluffy and comes with some nice fragrance. Hubby got the beef cheek for main and I got the pork belly. They were both melting in your mouth. Rubbard creme brulee was awesome. The service was impeccable, we will come back again next time

Good selection on the menu. Our dishes of soup, steak and duck were all well done, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals with our choice of wine.

I ordered steak for my mains which had been sliced and cooked to a quality medium rare. I didn't get a strong 'wow' factor from my meal and the portion sizes weren't overly filling.

I would recommend people to dine at Bacchus for special occasions as its not priced for frequent diners. The ambience is well presented and classy which made for a pleasant, but not illustrious meal out.

Best restaurant in town. Huge wine selection and awesome food especially the creme brûlée. Ask for a window seat for a nice outlook over the Octagon.
