Review Ombrellos Espresso - Dunedin

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.

We took friends of ours out for dinner to Ombrellos as a treat and we weren't disappointed. It was a lovely evening the food was great. Our waiter was very friendly and even went an asked the chef how he did his turmeric cauliflower which were really yummy. Not that he gave away his secret. Thanks for making it such an enjoyable night.

Excellent Dunedin eatery with a great beer selection. Helpful and friendly staff

Was there before the rugby game NZ vs Oz great atmosphere food and service - the place was absolutely packed.

A restaurant is popular usually due to either it’s food or it’s service staff. Ombrellos Kitchen & Bar has both! We ordered Spicy Beef Salad, Crumbled fish of the day, kids steak and chicken burger. All were awesome. The service staff were so welcoming of us and were very attentive to detail, offering a cushion for my mother-in-law who is in her late 70’s. I would recommend this restaurant any day. Simply lovely!

Fantastic food and beer. Amazing live music on a Friday afternoon
