Fantastic restaurant and estate. Had an excellent four-course meal here for my parents anniversary, and then a lovely stroll around to follow. A great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
Delicious food, great staff.
Very accommodating. Moved us readily when we requested a quieter table away from a Christmas function.
Definitely worth a second visit 👍
Did the shooting activities first. The clay bird shooting was awesome! Dinner was good, staff friendly and the chocolate dessert was nice and richjust how I like it.
Really nice location with outside sitting for when the weather is nice, the chianti wine is excellent. Had the lamb it was well worth the visit. The cold pressed olive oil is also a must try, ended up getting a bottle to take home.
What lovely, friendly staff. They made the fine dining experience very enjoyable. Well worth the 5 star rating.

Lovely spot, and a very enjoyable dinner experience. The staff were very friendly, joining in the banter at the table and giving opinions and suggestions on the menu and wine list.
All three courses of food were enjoyed by everyone at the table and the ladies received a gift at the end of the meal!
It was dark when we were dining but I'd very much like to go back and experience the rest of what Bracu has to offer.
Had good memory with my wife in this restaurant. Both of us were satisfied in its food quality and service. Will come again. Highly recommend. Better to reserve a table before go :)
Amazing food and service in such an idealistic olive estate! Best lunch experience I've ever had!! I would recommend everyone and anyone who enjoys food to come check these guys out, something different to just going to the CBD or Ponsonby ;)
Fantastic degustation. Meal and atmosphere were amazing! Would not hesitate to recommend.
Very nice food and service
Took my sister inlaw from Germany here, did not dissapoint. The food was excellent, all you could expect from this level fine dining, the lamb was sensational. Only reason not 5 stars was the wait staff were not up to the standard of the food or expectations. Would recommend and definayely go again. Also check out the range of olive oils on offer.
Nice food and good service, beautiful place. Perfect for weddings or birthdays. I would recommend the ala carte menu, we got degustation but wasn't that impressed compared to other degustations we have done around Auckland, plus the wine pairings were not the best.
Set in a beautiful olive estate, Bracu is a fine dinning restaurant aiming for the top. we had the the 7 course meal and while the dished were spectacular individually, the sequence they were served in didnt not quite work. Defiantly a must on a sunny summers day and an empty stomach
