Great beer on tap - huge plus for me. Very good for large groups of people. The shared foods are typically very good. Polenta fries are great. Pork belly is a little dry but tasty, as is the chicken. Not too much to complain about here - good safe bet. The atmosphere can get quite loud though, so not an ideal spot for a romantic date.
Note: menu on zomato is outdated, check their website
Just had lunch here today. We ordered the pan fried halloumi, lamb fettuccine and the market fish with chorizo and olives.
The market fish was monkfish and it was cooked perfectly! The chorizo and tomato was a good match with it. The fried halloumi salad was also very good and came with kumara pumpkin potato and spinach. I feel the lamb fettuccine was quite bland but the amount of lamb given was very good for the price.
The service was super friendly and wasn't a long wait time :)
Truly beautiful food, friendly staff with relaxed service and good ambiance. Plenty of beers on tap too, allowing you to try something unique.
I've been twice to Ombrello's for brunch and have been relatively pleased. The first time I had a crumbed brill which was bland but the chips and tartare sauce made it slightly more worth it. The next time I had the smoked salmon and potato hash with capers (sooooo gooood!!!). If you love salmon and potatoes you would've loved this.
My friend got the French toast however the dough of her toast was still raw and gooey in the middle, but the rest of the cooked bits were tasty.
Will definitely return for brunch another time! This place is perfect for a cute date.
My husband and I have been to many restaurants in Dunedin and Ombrellos was superb! Our favourite so far and we will definitely be going back! The food was delicious, there were 9 of us and EVERYONE loved their meal, whether it was the lamb, pork, chicken, the risotto or steak... all the comments were positive :) The kids menu was also awesome - it was REAL food. Our children had the fish and the steak and demolished the lot. We can't forget the dessert, just heavenly. I highly recommend you try it for yourself :)
Excellent food, great service and wonderful setting. The menu has some excellent options, great beer and wine menu as well. Really pleased with this place.
Great venue and excellent food for very cheap! Came in for the Wednesday pizza deal and were very happy. Pizzas came promptly, service was attentive and helpful, very good
Great food and a very nice atmosphere! Staff were attentive but not intrusive! Recommend for a group meal or small intimate lunch! Menu had lots of choice.
Place is amazing. Great courtyard nothing like it in dunedin. We had the Haloumi salad and salt and pepper squid. Was the tastiest and affordable meals I have had in a long long time. Service was great. Friendly staff that know a lot about the wine\food menu and are extremely accommodating. 5 star restaurant and I must visit :)
Our first visit to Ombrellos and it was for Saturday breakfast. The location is not ideal - off the beaten track but great inside. There is inside and outside dinning and the area looks good for drinking and dinning. There were only two other customers on this Saturday morning but we had a very good breakfast and outstanding rostis.
Good coffee and good service and the brunch menu covers all tastes. This place is well worth a visit for brunch - due to its location it will be missed by many walkers but you won't be disappointed.
Great atmosphere mixing bar and restaurant. Good for (large) groups - would probably not go alone. The staff was super friendly and the food was delicious. I had the fish and chips. Well located between the city and the University.
Nice friendly Bar and Restaurant. Loved the space, great use of old cottages. The service was efficient and friendly, the chefs even waved. Food was great. I enjoyed the mushroom risotto with chicken added. My wine was nicely chilled and probably explained why I spent so much at Kilt afterwards. Overall the atmosphere and space really made for a great lunch.
This is a lovely place, an endangered species in a city where the humble bar and pub has been heading to extinction.
Really great location and set up, perfect for summer and the food was very, very nice. I enjoyed their sharing platters and the drink selection was abundant and served well.
The staff are amazing people.
Love them to bits!
I am disappointed by some 'Karen-esque' muttering about the food and service, none of which holds any true relationship to the excellent experience which is this bar that has been enjoyed by myself and my friends on so many occasions.
Maybe such unfair and unfounded negativity is a reflection of Ombrellos' convenient location to the institutions surrounding the restaurant and the apparatchik/nomenklatura office party culture? 45 minutes to scoff a burger, fix a smile, do secret santa and the head home for three hours of Netflix, chips 'n dip?
Pay them no heed!
Come eat and dine at Ombrellos!
Great place!
Very pleased with food selections! Had a huge delicious steak with side of slaw and kumara chips. Super yummy!
There is a great collection of beers on tap and in the bottle. You choose !
They are nicely accommodating food allergies and offering several options.
Desert was also yummy!
I recommend to visit this place . You wont regret it !
I really enjoyed Ombrellos. I got the Ombrellos big breakfast (picture 1), which was very filling. It was well cooked and the sauce on the potatoes was a good choice- light and spicy, but not overpowering. The bread was very nice as well.
The coffee was a bit cold when it came out, however, and a bit underwhelming and lacking in flavour, unfortunately. However, it was a nice experience overall. Kid friendly and nice staff.
Such a tasty meal. I had venison, husband had steak. Both meals cooked to perfection. Very pleasant service too.
Some friends and I stopped in for a drink and a snack. Despite the rain it was cozy and comfortable. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and they had some great Kiwi beers on tap. Snacks were tasty too. We all agreed that we would gladly return. Also they have a really pretty patio that we didn't get to enjoy.
Pre match drinks before the big game at the stadium. Was packed but kept everyone fed and watered very well. I didn't eat there but the food I saw coming around looked and smelt delicious.
Will try and get back next time in Dunedin
Quick friendly service. Shout out to this wonderful staff (not sure what their name was if it was Lewis or Louis) anyway, they were so very lovely and went above and beyond with service, 10 stars
Coset little spot with nice atmosphere. The salt and pepper squid was delighful as was the central Otago Pinot Noir.
