We are so happy to have found this hidden gem in Dunedin. Excellent Belgian food, nice wine menu and lots of Belgian beers to choose from. The staff is warm and welcoming and we can’t wait to return. We tried the carbonnade flamande, the beef Bourgogne and the chef skewers and everyone loved their meals. The amuse bouche was an amazing soup and a delightful curry salmon served on the best little chip. If they had offered it I would have taken a dinner size portion for my entree. The baguette is now our favorite restaurant bread. You get to choose two compound butters with the baguette. We chose the black truffle and the garlic parsley and both were excellent. We finished off with a delicious Belgian chocolate mousse and a pumpkin bread pudding with caramel sauce. I highly recommend Sallie’s. We will most definitely be back.
