I happened across Rustic while searching for a lovely steak meal to celebrate a birthday. And what incredible luck I had!
Warm, genuine & welcoming greeting from the host.
Food - Wallaby with vegetables & mash w/gravy (loved & anihilated) + Pork Ribs with chips & salad. Absolutely delicious, the ribs were stacked, fell of the bone & the sauce was delicious. There was so much that we had to take a doggy bag home because we couldn't finish them all! (YAY! 😁)
Great drink selections, both alcoholic & non.
Upon hearing we were there for a birthday, the beautiful host bought out a garlic bread on the house to celebrate, which was such an incredible surprise 🙂
Venue - gorgeous! Spacious & comfortable temperature.
Atmosphere - relaxed, light & welcoming.
Safe to say we will definitely be returning & recommending to others!
Thanks for a wonderful evening Rustic!

First time trying South African food and we loved it. Though service was a bit slow but you can tell the lady puts her heart into making food. We ordered the bunny chow, pap & wors, and bobotie.

WOW! Rustic is a spectaculad place to eat at.
The food was delicious and devine. I absolutely enjoyed every morsel.
The decor was interesting felt like I was stepping into a saloon f on many years ago, wood decor, big tables, plenty of space for a large function.
Waiters were friendly, just could have been more alert to when we wanted service to order our meal.

Lamb Shank
Very very slow service tonight! For the price we paid I thought the meals would of been bigger! Gave some feedback but the lady we spoke to used the big group as an excuse to why the meals were so small which made no sense as the place was very quiet. Waited an hour and a half for our meals. Was very tasty but not worth the money, chicken was ment to be stuffed but was dry and had pretty much nothing in it. Was given a voucher to use for next time but to use the voucher you have to purchase a main meal which is pointless to me.

We were visiting NZ from abroad and Rustic had been recommended by our hosts at our Dunedin accommodation, so expectations were high. Atmosphere: the venue is very large and has an old-school high-end dining vibe, reminiscent of a special night out in the old days. But not rustic. Sadly, the venue was almost empty which doesn't do it any favours. It is a beautiful room which needs a crowd. Service: the owner was charming and fussed over our group, so no complaints. You could tell she was doing it all herself, though. But she had a ready smile and time to chat. Food: this is what it is all about. Disappointedly, we could only choose from the "set menu" which is actually a limited menu, and most of the South African meals we were keen on, are not on it. What we did get was generously proportioned, well cooked and tasty. The wine list was similarly limited but we got a couple of bottles of good Pinotage, fairly priced. The owner gave us several extras on the house, too. Summary: overall, a good night out. You need to be flexible and patient, but it is worth the risk.

WOW... It was amazing dinner. Food was wonderful. Lamb shank was so perfectly cook, chicken burger was so good. Chicken was so tender, the sauce in the chicken was so Gooooood. Our daughter enjoyed her cheese burger (kid Meal).
There are so many selection of meals, beverage and dessert.
The cream soda was so good. Bring back childhood memory.
If you are looking for a place for a date night. I recommend to come here. Decor is so stunning. You should see the bar! Big fire place.
We definitely come back.
