Raglan Restaurant Tips by kiwi

Vinnies: Been around a long time

Vinnies has been in Raglan for over 14 years and has forged a good reputation during that time. Although not the original owners, not much has changed. Residing in an historic Kauri cottage, you can buy local arts here as well. A Café by day, and Restaurant by night, there is something to suit most here. An easy short walk from the Hotel, and close to shops and centre of town.
Vinnies is fully licensed to sell alcohol and is a BYO restaurant - Bring Your Own wine, where you pay a fee for 'corkage'.
