The Ultimate St Clair Beach Dinner Destination

Nestled directly along Dunedin’s famous St Clair Beach front, Spirit House brings an intimate, luxurious touch to the local surf and dining scene. Watch the waves crash against the seawall while you dine on aromatic curries, fresh fusion plates, and signature cocktails.Conveniently situated on The Esplanade, we are the perfect destination for a cozy winter dinner watching the swells, or a premium coastal night out with friends and family in Dunedin.

Our Sensational Menu

The SpiritHouse menu caters for every kind of palate -whether you’re looking for classic Thai and Vietnamese dishes, or ready to explore and be adventurous. Asian Spicy Soups and Salads, Rice and Noodle dishes, stirfrys and curries - let your taste buds travel. Perhaps start with Korean Dumplings, Balinese chicken sticks, or Vietnamese spring rolls. Larger dishes take you from China (Cantonese Sweet and Sour) to Singapore (Singapore Satay) or Malaysia (Massaman Curry).

While all our dishes are well-loved, some of our most popular dishes include the Kung Fu Curry With Fresh Basil And Fresh Chilli and the Kung Pao Chicken Stir Fry (spicy stir fried battered chicken, peanuts,vegetables and chilli peppers cooked in Sichuan sauce).
