2 Best Restaurants in Otago Peninsula, Otago, Invercargill, and Stewart Island

There are good views of the harbor from this converted post office "where the high road meets the low road." The interior still feels Edwardian, and classic seafood dishes and steaks lead the menu; on a nice day sit outside in the courtyard, or, in winter, beside the open fire. Reservations are recommended.

Located in the first settlement you reach on the peninsula, this well-known café has fine views across the harbor. Scallops, prawns, blue cod, and mussels are popular, as are the tasty pizzas with smoked salmon and prawns. The brunch menu is served between 11 and 3, and the dinner menu kicks in at 5.
