Dining out in Nelson

Here are about thirty of the one hundred, or more, local restaurants and cafés that we at Serendipity Bed & Breakfast, or our guests, have visited recently and that we feel 
comfortable recommending to others: 

NOTE:

bullet "Licensed" means that the Restaurant has a 'cellar' and a wine list - Whereas "BYO" (literally - Bring Your Own) means you are welcome to take your own bottle of wine with you but will be charged "corkage". Some Restaurants offer both Licensed and BYO dining!
