The downstairs Cafe is probably one of the worst places I've eaten in quite some time. Disorganised chaos Is one way to put it. I feel a better system with clear barriers to prevent people table hopping and cutting the queue would help. And then staff allowing another table to cut in and place their order while lines of people were waiting for a seat. A seating chart with the tables that are occupied and then crossed off when the next guests approach the desk would stop staff looking so clueless when trying to see if they can seat people. The food was atrocious! I had the chicken schnitzel I was awful the facoccia bun was dry with a wee dolop of dressing under the chicken and then two massive piles of coleslaw on top Hubby had a greasy mess of a so called breakfast bagel.

Overall, the Otago Museum Cafe is a recommended destination for those seeking a satisfying meal accompanied by a great ambiance and...
Read moreWorst food and over-priced. Paid $7 for the smallest protugese Tart whilst waiting for mains. It was smaller than a kiwi fruit in circumference. Additionally, when the mains came out, I ordered the salsa Verde Eggs - which has to be the WHITEST(!!!!!) salsa on the planet. I know this is dunedin, but it tasted like tomato paste on bread. Also, there was literally the thinnest drizzle of the salsa on the toast - which btw the toast was stale. They took forever for the food to come out. Oh and they ruined the halloumi (which was an additional cost of $6.5), it tasted like butter and was cold to...
