REFINED DINING WITH A REAL CASINO INSIDE
Refined Menu is a contemporary restaurant in Dunedin built around seasonal ingredients, carefully designed dishes, and sophisticated interiors. Deeper inside the venue, a real physical casino continues the evening with genuine poker, roulette, and blackjack tables and face-to-face play — never an online or virtual casino.
Seasonal New Zealand Ingredients
The best of Otago, brought to the plate
Refined Menu celebrates the best of New Zealand's seasonal produce, sourced from local growers and suppliers across Dunedin and the wider Otago region. The menu changes with the season so every visit reflects what is freshest, most expressive, and most worth sharing right now.
Green-lipped Mussels
Plump New Zealand mussels steamed with coastal herbs and a bright, briny broth.
Autumn Stone Fruit
Central Otago stone fruit paired with cultured cream, toasted grains, and local honey.
Signature Dishes

Interior & Dining Atmosphere
A dining room with a sculptural calm

The Real Casino Inside
A real physical casino, not an online one
The casino at Refined Menu is a real, physical casino inside the venue, with genuine gaming tables and face-to-face play — not an online or virtual casino. After dinner, adult guests can move deeper into the building and continue the evening at real poker, roulette, and blackjack tables in a warm, material-rich room.
Poker
Real poker tables with face-to-face play, felt surfaces, and the quiet focus of a considered game.
Roulette
A genuine roulette wheel at the centre of the room, surrounded by adult guests and attentive staff.
Blackjack
Classic blackjack tables where the pace is deliberate and every hand is played in person.
Evening Experience
An evening at Refined Menu
Begin with a seasonal tasting menu in the dining room, then move deeper into the venue where a sculptural partition opens toward the sophisticated real casino. Every detail has its place: the ingredients, the chef, the menu, the dishes, the dining room, the interior, the evening, and the real physical casino beyond.
