I had my second meal at Two Chefs when visiting Dunedin again this month, and it confirmed my very high opinion of the food, which would hold its own anywhere in the world.. We had a starter which was kind of Vietnamese cuisine, loosely stuffed spring roll (obviously I've forgotten its name!) which was a taste-bomb of clean, but striking... More

I read a review about this restaurant and I was not disappointed. The restaurant was empty when we arrived at 6.30 which did not fill me with great hope...but the service was very friendly and the restaurant did fill up as the evening progressed. The meals came quickly and the flavours were good. Both steaks were cook very well and... More

Nothing special about the décor but the food was good and yet again large portions. The steaks were perfectly cooked.

I took my elderly in-laws to Two Chef's last week and they thought the food was fantastic. I had dined there a few years ago and knew it would be good, but I have slightly different tastes in food than my parents in law, so finding a restaurant that pleases them as well as me can be a challenge! Highly... More

we had dinner at this restaurant. The food was good and the menu offers a wide variety of tasty dishes. The wine-list offers a good choice of New zealand wines as well as a variety of wines from overseas. The service was friendly and competent, but we were slightly disappointed by the decor. All in all it was still a... More

The food was great. Request to see the food menu first as they like to get your drinks/wine first and then we found a 2 course menu with a glass of wine. Staff were attentive. Would recommend this restaurant.

It was a great place with great people and service. We order the fish and it was very teasty. It was our first time in Dunedin and someone told us to try this place there we went.

We went here because of the reviews and could not believe what happened. My wife and I ordered entrees which where nothing special at all. For mains my children ordered the pork Belly which was dry and my wife's fish was fine but again nothing at all to write home about. I ordered the eye fillet steak done rare which... More

We had dinner here on what appeared to be a very quiet night in Dunedin. We had the fixed menu and the soup, rib eye and fish were all very nice. The service was very friendly although not highly polished. To her credit, the waitress went to find the correct answer for a question about the wines rather than making... More

Two Chefs is a classic. Now been five times over the last three or four years and favourably compares to anywhere else I've eaten in New Zealand. Easily the best place in town. Adventurous menus and an excellent wine list.
