Reviews
"We went for the tasting menu experience (five courses) - it was delicious! I won’t write what the meals were to avoid spoiling the experience but there’s a mix of fish, pork and beef across all meals. Staff is friendly. No need to worry about the portion sizes - there’s enough food! Things that could be better: nicer ambiance, like low and warmer lights. A bigger cocktail serve (my negroni finished in two sips). Slightly shorter gaps between some of the courses. They have a beautiful and enourmous fern for decoration though."
"Excellent value place for lunch for a one hat rated restaurant. Do not miss having their 3 course set. Amazing value at $41. The quality of the food received for that price is a bargain. Dinner there is also popular, but more expensive and also usually booked out well in advance. In comparison, there were plenty of seats available for a Friday lunch. (My husband and I went in without a booking.) If you get a window seat close to the sea side you can get some good views. After having some polenta in their course meal, we to order it due to how delicious it was. XD"
"Trust the chef 5 courses, we love the experience. Their staffs was so friendly which created a cozy atmosphere to the restaurant. Food was creative and freshly served, excellent!"
"Came to tītī for lunch today - it was absolutely stunning. First course was a house made tagliatelle with a gorgeous stuffed eggplant roll. Fish course main was beautifully seasoned and wonderfully texturallly interesting. Dessert was delicious and not too heavy. Friendly, warm and knowledgeable service from staff as well. Can't wait to come back to Dunedin and have dinner here!"
"Our meal was amazing. We are tripping around the beautiful South Island and besides enjoying the magnificent scenery we are visiting top rated restaurants . Titi deserves every accolade it receives . The menu is well planned- Balanced with delicious flavors. From the moment we were presented with our amuse bouche the food never failed to delight . The Ostrich was amazingly tender. I rarely order pork but would do so every time if it was cooked in the way ours was .Service was excellent, knowledgeable .Small wine list but the wines were excellent with a much smaller mark up than we are used to . The meal was equal to the very best of Auckland restaurants . Thank you Titi for enhancing our visit to this beautiful city"
