Carnegie’s Restaurant & Bar.

Carnegie’s Restaurant & Bar. Carnegie’s Restaurant & Bar Fairlie is a family friendly restaurant known for its classic New Zealand

Set in a stunning, historical building that was originally built as a Carnegie library in the early 1900s, Carnegie’s Restaurant & Bar is a true Mackenzie destination in picturesque Fairlie. Take a moment to appreciate the exterior brickwork and the architecture of this special building before stepping inside the inviting, family friendly restaurant. Inside, your attention will undoubtedly be draw

n towards the large wood fire oven, which sits centre space in the open kitchen. A consistent slow fire inside the oven sets the scene for your dining experience, where just about everything on the menu is cooked. It’s quite an interesting watch, keeping an eye on what goes in and out of the oven door. Carnegie’s Restaurant & Bar is known for creating classic New Zealand dishes with natural flavours, such as its award-winning lamb rack, venison or beef rib-eye fillet steak. A large selection of wood-fired pizzas have naturally found their way on the menu too, and, let’s face it, there’s nothing like a pizza and a beer in the garden on a sunny summer’s day. Don’t overlook the dessert menu either, as there are some seriously delicious items on there that’ll work wonders in finishing off your meal in style. During the winter things are kept cosy indoors with the almighty wood fire oven. High ceilings, wooden floors and down-to-earth interiors further add to the down-to-earth environment where the entire family can dine in comfort. Appropriate to the building’s history, you’ll also find a small selection of books on the shelves to browse through. Keep an eye on our social's for updates on upcoming live music events!

It is with heavy hearts that we share some difficult news. This morning, a fire caused significant damage to our beloved building and restaurant.

We are utterly devastated by this unforeseen event, and our hearts go out to our incredible staff, who are understandably heartbroken.

We want to extend our sincerest gratitude to the tireless and brave firefighters who worked tirelessly to get the fire under control and extinguish it. Their dedication prevented even greater loss.

We are so grateful for the outpouring of love, kind words, and support we have already received. Your messages mean the world to us during this challenging time.

For now, Carnegies will be closed until further notice. We will keep you updated as we have more information over time.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

The intense heat generated by our wood fire creates a distinctive flavor profile characterized by smokiness and a slightly charred crust 🍕
