Trust the Chef
Surrender to a curated culinary journey where our chef guides you through an evening of discovery.
Each course celebrates the wild flavours of Otago — from wild venison to freshly caught octopus harvested from our coast. Native flora, seasonal produce, and the stories of our land converge on your plate.
This is not just dinner. It's a journey through place, flavour, and the relationship between land and sea — an experience found only in Dunedin.

Native Ingredients, Coastal Flavors
Our Trust the Chef menu celebrates the wild bounty of Otago — from the mountains to the sea.
Wild Venison
Harvested from the Otago highlands, our wild venison represents the pure, natural flavors of the region. Simple in preparation, bold in taste — a true expression of the land.
Fresh Octopus
Hand-caught from the cold waters of the Otago coast, our octopus is tender, briny, and full of character. A rare treat showcasing the wild nature of our shores.
