Eureka Bar & Cafe

These guys have great beers on tap, a garden bar, and a really nice ambiance. The only real criticism I have is that given its proximity to the uni, they would do a lot more business if they offered more affordable lunches. I often pass it up knowing that better value can be had elsewhere. Can't comment too much on the food, other than the wedges were good

As nostalgia kicks in, thought of reviewing Eureka today. This place was a regular hangout during University days. I am not sure if they still serve the Venison which was a favorite and used to wash it down with an ice cold Speights Ale. If memory serves me correctly this place was run and owned by the Chef himself. Purveyors of good food, used to be the placard on the wall back in the day and rightly so.

Perfectly located next to Otago University, makes it a great place to go for Staff lunches. We had our office Christmas lunch here and it was lovely. I had the spicy fried chicken tacos and they were absolutely delicious. Very well presented when they came out as well. Others at the table had burgers, which looked great. Their hot chocolate and chocolate brownie are so delicious too!

cool place to eat in the uni area.
try and sit in a booth if possible.

Great food; I'm a lover of the wedges and the staff always let me order some gravy on the side or add cheese and bacon to it. Staff generally have a great attitude, always willing to come light the outside fires/heaters in the winter. The coffee is good too, and I'm incredibly fussy about my coffee having being a barista for six years while I was studying.
