The fire is roaring, the music on and your seat is waiting for you…

As we head into the cooler months Dida’s is just the spot to come in out of the cold and warm up. The team at Dida’s have some wonderful new dishes on their menu, just perfect for enjoying by the fire.

Dida’s serves ‘mali degustacija’, a collection of fresh flavoursome dishes that can be eaten on your own or shared. More than appetizers, these represent, in their social context, both a style of eating and a way of life. With their versatility they create a wonderful complement to Dida’s extensive wine, beer and spirit offerings.

Beef brisket, slow cooked with caramelised onions sounds just the dish to enjoy with a delicious cabernet sauvignon. The meatballs, made from pork and nduja (a wonderful, spiced meat), with tomato and red pepper sauces, are perfect with a Spanish rioja. We recommend you do not go past the fried chicken. How could you? The fried chicken breast with ten spices is delicious with chipotle aioli. Alongside the chicken, a glass of champagne is a match made in heaven. Trust us, we have tried it many times.

You will find the largest range of malt’s by the glass at Dida’s, carefully curated by Jak Jakicevich himself. His Dida would be proud.

Then there are our $12 cocktails, crafted by the team just for you. Gather your friends together and pop on in.

As if that isn’t enough, there’s live music on Sundays. It’s NZ Music Month throughout May and what better way to show your support than to get out to a live gig.
