What is on the Graze and Glow menu?

Small plates and tapas selection

The menu at Graze & Glow is built around small plates designed for sharing. The Otago Daily Times (regional newspaper covering Dunedin business) reported that the opening menu featured about 20 items drawing from Italian, Spanish, and Mexican cuisines. The official website describes the venue as serving grazing platters and tapas — positioning it as a place where you order several dishes per person and pass them around.

Uber Eats lists specific dishes available for delivery or takeaway, including Tuna Carpaccio, Beef Cheek and Parsley Mash, Tomato Bruschetta, Pork Belly, and Chilli Salted Fries — all consistently priced at $13.31 each on the delivery platform, according to Uber Eats (online food ordering service).

Seasonal menu changes

The menu appears to evolve. An Instagram post from the restaurant (official social media feed) referenced new cocktails and seasonal dishes. The Otago Daily Times story noted that the opening concept—everything at $9—was built around slightly smaller portions so that customers could try multiple flavours without breaking the bank. Whether the full menu still holds that flat pricing is less clear; Uber Eats prices are higher, at $13.31 per dish.

Why this matters

For Dunedin diners looking to sample widely without spending $30 per dish, the small-plates model works only if the price stays accessible. The gap between the $9 launch price and the $13.31 Uber Eats pricing means the cost-per-bite has crept upward — or that the delivery fee is baked in. Either way, checking the in-restaurant menu is worth your time.

Bottom line: The implication: the $9 hook still draws diners, but the total depends on how many plates you order.

How much does Graze and Glow cost?

Price range per dish

The restaurant launched with a flat $9 price on every item, as reported by the Otago Daily Times (local news outlet covering Otago business). The owner said no other business in the city could match that price point across an entire menu. However, the Uber Eats menu now lists dishes at $13.31 each, which suggests either a pricing change for delivery or the end of the original $9 promotion. Tripadvisor reviews from recent months still mention the $9 price, so the flat rate may still apply for dine-in customers.

Here is how the pricing breaks down across platforms:

Item Dine-in (reported) Uber Eats (current)
Tuna Carpaccio $9 $13.31
Beef Cheek and Parsley Mash $9 $13.31
Pork Belly $9 $13.31
Chilli Salted Fries $9 $13.31
Tomato Bruschetta $9 $13.31

The pattern: the $9 price is still the hook for food, but the total bill will depend heavily on how many plates (and drinks) you order. With small plates, a party of two ordering five dishes and two drinks could easily reach $80–$100.

First Table pricing

First Table, a booking platform specialising in discounted dining, lists Graze & Glow with the tagline that everything on the menu costs $9. This suggests the $9 price remains in effect for diners who book through First Table, making it the cheapest way to eat here — assuming you’re willing to dine at an off-peak time slot.

Cocktail prices

The restaurant’s Instagram feed confirms that cocktails are part of the offering. A post in mid-2024 teased new drinks, describing them as “guaranteed to warm you up.” Exact prices aren’t listed publicly, but given the $9 base price for food, cocktails likely fall in the $12–$18 range typical for Dunedin cocktail spots.

Bottom line: The catch: without a published cocktail menu, you’ll need to ask at the table or check Instagram before visiting. If cocktails matter to your dining decision, Graze & Glow appears to offer them, but the selection is opaque until you’re seated.
