Urban Grind

A taste of city life in idyllic Wanaka, Urban Grind has been going strong for over a decade. Specialists in casual dining and comfort eats in a contemporary setting, it's the perfect spot for a chilled lunchtime bite.

Spacious and friendly, their dining room is perfectly designed to encourage diners to take their time. Exposed brick walls and quirky décor afford Urban Grind an irresistible warmth. Come over in winter and the fire will be roaring; come in summer and the doors will be flung open to reveal a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains. Needless to say, their alfresco area is some of the best in Wanaka, combining the town’s buzz with some of the most stunning views in NZ.

For your midday feed, feel free to make it as brunchy or lunchy as you like. Refuel on Urban Grind’s big brekkie, keep it simple with a bacon and egg butty, or dial up the sweet factor with the sweet pancake stack. If you’re over the brunch vibe, take your pick of international superstars, like the Japanese pancake with pork belly or the roast pumpkin salad. And of course, Urban Grind wouldn’t be the success it is without its hand-rolled pizzas. Crispy, thin and light, their traditional offerings have the whole town raving.
