Best Cafe

Although the restaurant doesn't look fancy from the outside, the food was excellent, the fish and chips were delicious and the bread and butter on the side was a nice touch. I recommend eating here when you are in central Dunedin.

I had to try fish and chips for the first time when I came to New Zealand. I found this local old brand with the highest rating nearby before the hotel check-in time. I ordered Gurnard, a local New Zealand dish. The meat is thick and not smooth and delicate, but it has its own freshness and characteristics; the pastry is the highlight, it is crispy and fragrant. If I were not afraid of getting fat, I would really indulge in it; the thick French fries have a general taste and a little bit of salt on the outside; the cappuccino is very ordinary and the deep roasted caramel flavor is relatively thin. Actually, I was not hungry, but I felt hungry after seeing the food. The portion was already large and it came with bread, which was a bit strange after eating it.

Maybe it was because it was the weekend, the center of Dunedin was quite quiet. We went to Best Cafe for dinner. They started making fish and chips in 1932. The blue cod we ordered was really delicious!! The fish was super fresh, tender, marinated and tasty.

Not far from Dunedin Train Station and First Church, this is a great restaurant. We went there in late August, and it was quite cold in the evening. The aroma filled our noses as we entered, and the customers were mainly locals. We didn't know what to order, but the customers next to us and the waiter enthusiastically suggested fried fish and sausages for two people, which tasted quite good, especially the fried fish. Picture above.
