A go-to local spot in Dunedin, Commons Eatery is a warm and inviting all-day spot with a fresh, modern feel. The cosy indoor space blends mid-century charm with contemporary touches, while the stylish heated outdoor area lets diners soak up the summer sun or stay comfortable when the temperature drops.

The menu is designed for sharing, offering a contemporary European twist on classic flavours. Expect a tempting selection of small and large plates, from the utterly delicious white fish ceviche to the spiced Moroccan lamb shoulder. If greens are more your thing, hearty salads like the roast chicken and baby gem salad strike the perfect balance between fresh and filling.

No meal is complete without something sweet, and Commons Eatery’s daily pies are a must-try. Just ask the server for the flavour of the day and enjoy it with a side of vanilla ice cream and custard. They’re also more than happy to accommodate dietary needs, so don’t hesitate to ask.

With its welcoming atmosphere and a kitchen known for its imaginative, flavour-packed dishes, Commons Eatery is always worth a visit. Drop by and see what the team is cooking up next!
