VAULT 21

Savor our contemporary New Zealand cuisine in Dunedin with shared plates and cocktails inspired from Japan, Korea & China, all in the heart of the Octagon.

We have designed the menu with small plates to share, leading on to main sized meals that can be enjoyed with a side. Our kitchen team philosophy is to sustainably source the best ingredients, working closely with our suppliers and to treat the product with respect. We try to use different techniques to highlight the flavour of each dish, and we are always testing new dishes that we’d like to showcase to our guests.
