Invest in a touch of culinary class for less at Dunedin's Crown Mill Restaurant. Pay $110 for a three-course dinner for two people, plus any four drinks to share throughout the evening.

If you're after a dining experience steeped in history, glamour and elegance, an evening meal at Crown Mill is the ideal destination. Listed as a category one building by the Historic Places Trust thanks to its stunning Victorian architecture, The Crown is set to put a smile on your dial as soon as you step through its doors - and the food will please as well. Your three-course meal includes any entree, main and dessert from their evening menu: why not combine dishes like pine nut encrusted lamb cutlets, seafood chowder and twice-cooked pork belly with New Zealand beef ribeye, vanilla poached salmon fillet or pan-seared duck, perfectly matched with homemade apple pie, white and dark chocolate mousse or double chocolate and boysenberry upsidedown cake? Browse the menus and you'll find a plethora of culinary delights set to make your mouth water. Obviously the perfect glass of wine or beer will go down a treat: choose from a wide range of wines like Akarua, Mt Difficulty, Bannock Brae and Wither Hills or beer like Speights, Macs, Steinlager and Heineken.
