The restaurant has a nice setting surrounded by olive trees with friendly walking paths around the property. We went for the 5-course degustation menu at lunch time and surprisingly we also received a special 6th course (the Mackerel cones). All the dishes served were excellent and beautifully presented. They also got the timing perfect in between courses. We were very impressed by the top class service by Simon who moved to NZ from East London. He has been very friendly and made sure that we were looked after properly during our time there. Duty manager, Brad, also provided a friendly gesture by walking around to make sure everything was alright. We left the place with some Bracu Estate Olive Oil so that we can try out some of the new tastes we found. I'm sure we will enjoy them in the coming days. We definitely hope to come back again for more taste bud exploitation. 😋

I absolutely love photographing weddings at Bracu Estate. It is a such a stunning wedding venue surrounded by the most amazing rolling hills and olive groves. There are so many diverse spots for photos including the most epic sunset spot! Best of all, the food is AMAZING! I know your guests will be absolutely raving about your wedding at Bracu.
Took my Mum to Bracu for Mothers Day lunch and we had a fantastic experience there.
Delicious food and fantastic service. Our waiter was very attentive, always checking in us and refilling our drinks.
We will definitely return!
Came for lunch and had the starter, two course and sides set menu. The breads with olive oil were lovely to start the meal with. The Duo of Pork had great flavours and presentation. The strawberry and pistachio dessert with macaroon was the highlight for me though. Ample parking on site.
Beautiful dinner, amazing flavours. 5 star 🌟
Great afternoon yesterday as we headed out south for our staff Christmas lunch and Beretta at Bracu. Beautiful setting among picturesque olive groves and rolling hills with a bit of friendly rivalry thrown in for good measure.
We opted for the clay target shooting, air rifle shooting, and knife throwing but you can also do archery, as well as wine and olive oil tasting and tours, time permitting.
Delicious 2 course group set lunch, great service with a good choice of beverages and dessert options. Fabulous!
Food: (10/10)
The food here was impeccable. We had the bread w/olive oil, venison tartare, duo pork, dayboat fish and steamed greens. All dishes were super delicious.

The girl who served us it’s her first day but she’s so friendly and attentive. And the ambience was so good.
The only downside was there were too many flies which was a bit annoying. Other than that, it’s a perfect dining experience.
We had an absolutely wonderful experience.
The food was INCREDIBLE. My friend who thought he'd be unimpressed with the "small portions of fancy food" was thoroughly convinced and full at the end of our meal.
The staff were so friendly and we had a good laugh with them. They went above and beyond when they found out it was my friend's birthday.
This was the best dining experience I've had in such a long time!
Truly lovely location to enjoy a good meal. The staff and service was fantastic.
My only issue was really with some of the dishes. They weren’t really what was described on the menu, and felt like each dish was made to look like a piece of art, rather than a decent meal. That may appeal to others though.
Would definitely revisit for the right occasion :)
First time coming to the Bracu restaurant. I was very impressed with the service and the foods. Tried out 5 courses degustation menu. Good atmosphere. Really enjoy today's outing. Definitely will come back again. Beautiful Olive Garden.
Beautiful foods. Beautiful people. Five stars service. Nice and cosy restaurant. Really enjoyed my time at the Bracu restaurant. Our favourite dish was the beetroot entree with fruits. Had a walked around the Olive Garden as well.
We had the set menu, originally supposed to be eight of us so that was the only option we were able to have. There ended up only being five of us but we still needed to eat the set menu, not sure the reasoning behind that. The food was delicious, I had the melon and gazpacho salad to start. Would have been nice to have been offered a spoon to finish up the gazpacho but by the time we managed to catch a waitress we were ready to move on. I had the cauliflower florets for main and cant fault it. Same with the desert, Death by Chocolate, delicious! I was very happy with my options but my friends were a little underwhelmed with their entrees and the cheese for dessert was two pieces of cheese?
The setting was beautiful and I would recommend it, but not every dish is as great as the next.
Recent visit was interesting on the tail of a cyclone! They coped very well with multiple power cuts while we were there, but it added to the ambience 😁
Felt a little let down by the dessert (and don't get wrong, normally the meals are spot on) but it didn't quite hit the mark this time round. But the rest of the meal was outstanding. Will definitely be back.
Absolutely blew my mind. Exceptional service, food was beautifully presented. Staff were friendly and helpful. The activities were so much fun. Highly recommend.
We came here for lunch yesterday, the food and cocktail that I had was delicious. Lovely vibe, and will look forward to coming back again in the future!
Exceptionally great service with absolutely delicious food and wonderful cocktails. This is fine dining at it's best. Bracu is an absolute gem. I also highly recommend the Garlic infused Olive oil.
Just love their hot chocolate that tastes like roses~ The food was very delicious too, venison carpaccio was so nice, lamb was cook perfectly, duck was so tender, and the olives was grown onsite, so fresh~ Would definitely come back again even though their location was a little far from town.
