Cazador

The Verdict

Meat, meat and more meat is what you’re in for during a trip to Cazador on Dominion Road. This family owned and operated restaurant focuses on wild food, particularly game meats and fresh ingredients sourced from Kiwi hunters and producers. On Cazador’s menu you’ll find everything from chargrilled venision, rabbit leg tagine, babaghanoosh and if you’re game—crispy lamb’s brains. Their dessert menu is worth leaving room floor (the dark chocolate and brandy mousse is a standout) and there’s plenty of local craft beer and wine on offer to wash the rich food down. Not a meat fan? They also offer fish and vegetarian dishes.
