1908 - Dunedin

We had the most wonderful evening here. The food was delicious, and so fresh (the portobello mushrooms are a must! . Service is so friendly, and the location is superb. Make a booking, get a window seat, and watch the sky as night falls across the bay.

We were staying nearby and made a reservation for our first night. That was a good thing to do as you are then allocated some of the better tables with a lovely view. The wine list is interesting and the menu while not hugely adventurous is well crafted and the food that is served is tasty. We ended up enjoying three meals over out 5 nights on the Peninsula and we enjoyed each one of them.

We stopped here at 20.30 after having visited the Pinguin place. We did not know the place and just wanted a quit bite as it was late. And what a lovely surprise, a hidden gem as far as we’re concerned. Barry is such a nice and friendly host. The food was good and I had an excellent wine. The atmosphere is rustique, music relaxing , popular jazzy. And the food was good! Not that max score as I felt the espresso was not the best I‘ve had, although definitely also not the worst We would definitely recommend this place and come here again next time we are here.

Excellent country bistro on the bay, located in a period house with comfortable warm vibe. Extremely friendly staff knowledgeable and happy to work around our food allergies. Salmon was excellent, as was pan fried sole (fish of the day). And a sizeable and carefully chosen wine list. We found this just driving by but it's good enough to be a destination restaurant. There's also nice outside seating if good weather.

We have thoroughly enjoyed everytime we get to go to 1908 for a meal, we suggest this restaurant to all out guests who are wanting a lovely meal and a relaxed ambiance, Paulinewill try to give you everything you want, just a wonderful owner, I have never in the eight years here had a complaint from anyone they have all enjoyed there night at 1908.Yes Pauline's Lamb shanks are devine, its a must.
