No trip to Dunedin is complete without a stop at<br />
Good Good at 22 Vogel Street. A simple concept done<br />
exceptionally well, Good Good’s menu is limited to three<br />
burgers, each served on a lightly toasted milk bun. The<br />
beef is served with American cheddar, iceberg lettuce,<br />
tomato, onion and pickles, all taken to the next level by their<br />
signature Good Good sauce, ketchup and mustard. There is<br />
also a chicken and vegetarian burger – think barbecue pulled<br />
jackfruit with melted American cheddar, lettuce pickles,<br />
onion and dripping in creamy maple dressing.<br />
Kiki Beware (344 George Street) is unlike any other<br />
Dunedin cafe. Frequented by members of Dunedin’s creative<br />
crowd, the space hosts the work of emerging artists every<br />
month. Grab a seat at the bar and order a Vietnamese pork<br />
banh mi and a bowl of shoestring fries, which are served<br />
with a range of different salts and sauces. The espresso bar is<br />
also a licenced refreshment room, so, in addition to expertly<br />
made Supreme coffee, sodas and lemonades, you’ll find a<br />
selection of tap beer, liquors and wines.<br />
As far as BYOs go, Best Café is one of the best. A<br />
Dunedin institution since 1932, the charming fish and chip<br />
shop is straight out of the 1970s. Look out for the neon sign<br />
on Stuart Street, and you’ve found the spot. Go classic or<br />
try the whitebait fritters, or treat yourself to an ice cream<br />
sundae with pink wafer cookies and chocolate fish.<br />
For American-style pit food using the best quality<br />
New Zealand meats, Prohibition Smoke House (10 The<br />
Octagon) is our go-to. Known for slow cooking and wood<br />
smoking, the menu features both small plates, not so meaty<br />
mains and main plates from the grill. You can’t miss the beef<br />
brisket with roasted shallot pickle and watercress truffle<br />
mayo. The crispy pork belly is another favourite, served<br />
with red onion jam, citrus slaw and whisky jus. There’s also<br />
a gorgeous outdoor seating area with a fire pit and heated<br />
gas lamps, ideal for festivities of all kinds.
