Tasty! 3.5/5

I really enjoyed the food, and the service was surprisingly fast for a busy restaurant, in my opinion!

I had the vegan red duck curry, I didn't know what to expect tbh but it sure was tasty! My partner had the veg massaman curry which he also enjoyed.

It's good that they are pretty flexible with vegan-ising their dishes, so don't be afraid to ask.

View was gorgeous, and that also plays a part in the pricing of course. But nonetheless, a really nice experience. Great for an occasion!

Pros: Tasty food, Beautiful view

Cons: Quite pricey

Great view

The vegan red Duck Curry was amazing. Would definitely have it again if back in Dunedin. The view is amazing and the place gets full pretty easily.

Cons: Not many vegan options

Pay for the view

You can dine with great a ocean view, and that is what you pay for. There are a few vegan options, and they seem hit and miss. It's nice that the mango lassi is rich and thick, as is the curry, but don't bother with the stir-fry. It wasn't even full when we eventually ordered, yet the service was very slow, and we almost decided to pay for the drink and not order food.

The server told us they made the curry to order, so could decide how spicy to make it. This is definitely not true, as they use a paste, so check with the cook if you are worried about any ingredients.

Pros: View

Cons: Expensive

delicious food, great view

We took a drive out to st Clair on a beautiful and clear but freezing cold and windy day and decided to stick around for an early dinner at spirit house. Great decision. It was so cosy and warm inside and we had a beautiful view of the beach. The vegan duck curry was amazing and I can highly recommend the fried dumplings as a starter (they were crispy and tasted like a cross between wontons and dumplings). As we dined the place packed out - it seems to be very popular, lucky we got in early. I'll definitely go back here on my next trip to dunedin.

Good food, good view

A restaurant with a good atmosphere and some delicious vegan options. The Vegan Red Duck Curry is very, very good. Probably a good place for a date or a romantic dinner - though it can be busy at peak times.

Pros: Vegan Red Duck Curry , Ocean View

Cons: Poor accessibility - unless there is a back entry, Lots of meat and fish being served
