There is little more to say about Esplanade once you know the key details of its existence – it’s beachside, it’s Italian, and it’s based in a beautiful building in Saint Clair, Dunedin.
It speaks for itself, really. But if we were going to say more, we’d tell you that its breakfast offering, made up of things like Crisp Fried Calzone, Toasted Sweet Fruit Panetone with Seasonal Fruit and Mascarpone and the Esplanade Breakfast of Sage-Fried Eggs, Prosciutto Cotto, Roast Tomato and Havoc Pork & Fennel Sausage might just pair beautifully with your morning Allpress hit as you sit in the stylish but friendly seaside spot.
And perhaps the dinner and dessert menu in all of its fresh pasta, pizza, Dark-Chocolate-Torta-Marscapone-Cherries glory might work quite harmoniously with a post-meal espresso.
