SUNDAY LUNCH BRACU ESTATE
27 JULY, 2025
We visited this special venue in July, 2024 and, when we left, clients asked if we could make it an annual visit.
"With a vision to bring a slice of his homeland to Kiwi shores, Croatian-born Ivan Simunovich likely didn’t know that in planting New Zealand’s largest privately owned olive grove in 1999, his dream would 20 years later have expanded to become a revered destination for events and celebrations.
Keeping founding values at our core, we’ve never wavered from the Mediterranean traditions that Ivan brought with him from the island of Brač: a commitment to the environment, a love of quality, seasonal food, and the importance of celebrating both the significant and the small moments with loved ones."
If you like a special white table-cloth, silver service lunch with excellent fare & attention to detail, Bracu is a place you will appreciate.
MENU
SUNDAY TWO-COURSE SET MENU
"We’ve reimagined the beloved Sunday Roast — not as a traditional English plate piled high, but as a modern, fine dining experience that celebrates the essence of a Sunday well spent.
Choose between Bracu Beef or Roasted Pork, thoughtfully prepared to honour the flavours of a classic roast, with elevated presentation and seasonal accompaniments — all enjoyed in the elegant surrounds of our Estate." 2 dessert options on the menu plus a revolving option that is the chef's choice that will change from week to week.
