1 appetizer 1 pizza 1 pasta 2 drinks - paid $109 Nice view, rustic vibe and smiley staff. Such a busy crowd during lunch today which had cause a bit of delay to serve our main courses, still WORTH the wait. Decent portions, didn’t save on toppings, meat and veggies on their ingredients 😍. Wish they could have a bit of an extra room for spaces in between tables to have that bit of privacy during meal conversations. Still worth the visit ☀️ Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $100+ Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

Went for a late dinner, looking to have a pizza. Totally changed our minds and had the scallop and courgette pasta (not as tasty as it could have been) and pea risotto (divine!), with a caprese salad (photo shows it half eaten) and garlic bread on the side. Refreshing cocktail was very good too and the (French) waiter was very helpful with local wine recommendations.

First time dining in at Esplanade Restaurant 🌟 We visited on a Tuesday afternoon around 3:30pm and were seated immediately (no waiting in lines / no reservation needed). The restaurant has a warm ambience to it and has a beautiful view of the ocean. Seating is available both indoors and outdoors. We received our menus and a bottle of water upon being seated. We opted for starters (fritto de mare and the formaggi al forno) - both starters were freshly prepared, well plated and simply delicious!! 👌🏻The portions can be enjoyed by 2 😄 For our mains, we opted for pizzas as when we requested for vegan / vegetarian pasta options for myself, we were told that it was not available at that time. I opted for the Vegana and hubby ordered the Salmone - we'll rate both pizzas 7/10 - it was slightly underwhelming and tasted like an average pizza. The highlight was both pizzas were freshly made and served within a very short amount of time 👍🏻 All in all, was a good experience and we would definitely go back to try their pastas 🥹 Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $40–50 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Calamari

Quick service and great sea view from this cafe. Had Pizza breakfast and an Egg Benedict .Eventhough I am not a huge fan of pizza, enjoyed eating it. Tried Friand and it was mouth melting too.

We are visiting Dunedin and we popped in for lunch. What a great view! The pizza is excellent and the toppings actually cover the whole pizza. Two pizzas fed the four of us with a side of crispy French fries. We also discovered yet another great wine while down here. When we return, this restaurant is added to our must-visit list (the list is getting big!). Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
