“ We had heard good things about this place so made the journey to check it out. We were completely blown away... The staff were brilliant, even other customers were friendly (You know you've aced hospitality when this happens!) The food was amazing, easily comparable to the quality you'd expect at high end establishments in Auckland or Wellington. The portion sizes were larger than expected which was a bonus, it's always easier to share the tasty morsels when there's enough to go round! However, the struggle was real when trying to make room for dessert. We're really looking forward to coming back and trying out the new menu! And I didn't even get a chance to talk about the cocktail list... Well, you'll just have to go in and check it out for yourselves ”

“ The food was amazing perfectly timed coming out and even bring my childrens meals out first the way the staff went above and beyond for us dietary requests and smaller portions so we could try more was superb. I can not wait to come back and try more of your amazing food and fantastic service ”
“ Wow. Just wow. Me and my partner moved to Woodville and have struggled to find a decent place to have a meal for months. Came across the high st bistro while strolling through Dannevirke strip. Highly recommend if you want amazing high quality meals for a decent price and huge portions. We struggled to eat it all but didn't want to waste a single bite. Only open certain evening 5-10 so don't miss out and make an evening of it! ”
“ It’s an absolute must to visit Dannevirke and dine at High St Bistro, where you’ll enjoy delicious food, excellent service, and a friendly atmosphere. I have food allergies, and the chef adjusted my dish specifically for me without losing quality or taste. The lamb I had was tender and melted in my mouth—highly recommended! I will definitely come again! ”
“ Just deliciousness in every single mouthful. Definitely coming back. Pork belly was soft, juicy and tender. Great crackling. Incredible broccolini, calamari, fries ... oh just everything ... seriously good ”
“ I'm not usually a fan of steak, but this was the best I've ever had. It was cooked medium to well, with no blood, soft to chew, and had a delicious sauce. It tasted amazing - especially with a hash brown on the side. It might look small in the picture, but it's actually pretty big. ”
“ Went there for a work function. All I can say is WOW!!! Awesome table service from Nicole and Tyla. Nothing was too much trouble, all my dietary needs were taken care of and I was presented with a stunning meal, that tasted incredible. WOW!!! Such a fantastic experience- felt truly special and totally catered for. Campbell, Brock and Nicole have created a wonderful local dining experience. Will definitely be back!!! ”
