It was such a great evening here. The staff is so nice and the food is great. Even for our daughter we could find something nice to eat. The fish was awesome, she ate all of it. My Burger was also very very good. And the Desert was so tasty. I never had such special Cocktails. Even if you are not hungry The Wayfarer is always good for a nice Drink. We will definetly come back when we are in Dunedin.

I went on a Thursday night. I had two of their cocktails, a Lemon Tango, and Freaky In The Village. For food I had the Ribeye, and the Dark Chocolate and Orange Brownie for dessert.
The service was attentive without being overbearing, unlike a lot of places in Dunedin they ask for a second drinks round, of which I took up the offer.
My friend and I enjoyed our time there, and I would happily recommend this restaurant to locals and visitors alike

Beautiful place, excellent service! The owners took care of us and are wonderful. The meat was very tasty, the canelones delicious! And the tiramisú, the best I've ever tried! Without a doubt, a place I would return to! Highly recommended!

Kind and friendly customer service with helpful suggestions which I loved. The antipasti platter was yummy with the focaccia bread being my favorite thing from the platter. The roast chicken was yum!!

Just had a wonderful night out here. The service was excellent and the food and drinks were both delicious. We were lucky enough to get the couch by the fire and spend some time getting to chat with the owner.
This is a lovely new find that we will be coming back to, with friends!

Went here recently for a birthday and had the best time! The whole team is super friendly and the service was the best we had ever had, along with the food which was absolutely amazing! 😍
The owners are clearly very passionate and are very lovely and kind
Will absolutely be going back, cannot recommend this place highly enough. Everything was mind blowingly good, 10/10
Also a note, some older reviews (about 3/4 months back) are for an older business that used to occupy the space, all recent reviews are for the wayfarer, and are appropriately 5 stars!

Today is the second time I go to The Wayfarer restaurant, some Chileans told me that there was a Latin American restaurant in the center of Dunedin NZ, when I arrived the reception was wonderful, in my visit I ordered a "Luco Beef" very famous in my hometown Santiago de Chile, the meat, the melted cheese and its splendid bread, what surprised me was the Chilean pebre, I could not believe it existed on the other side of the world, to drink the barman suggested me to try the drink invented by "The Felipes", a citric drink perfect for the heat at that time of the day, wonderful first visit!
Obviously I had to come back to try the Chef's delights, the second time I tried the Peruvian Marinate Lamb Shank dish with a good drink, the chef could not disappoint me, a dish that I did not know from Peru made me feel that I am in Latin America and to finish I had a good coffee and Lemon Meringue Pi which I was told is made by the owner of the restaurant.
I recommend that if you are in Dunedin, don't miss the opportunity to feel the flavors of Latin America because they are a delight.

The place is small, but it's suitable for the services they provide, the staff is very friendly and very efficient. I was there with a table with 7 guests and was another table there with about 10 people and for my surprise the service wasn't affected at all. The food was delicious and came in on time. Drinks were great, and the service was awesome. So I highly recommend that you try it if you have a small group of friends that would like to taste a bit of South American food.
