Licence to grill: Dunedin restaurant favoured by 007 set to re-open after fire
A dozen workers are putting the final touches on top Dunedin bistro re-opening after a fire forced its closure nine months ago.
The blaze ripped through No 7 Balmac, a popular restaurant in the upmarket suburb of Maori Hill, on August 18.
It is set to open its doors again on Thursday – fingers crossed – says owner Katrina Toovey, who started the business about a decade ago.
The restaurant made headlines when James Bond actor Daniel Craig and his Oscar-winning wife Rachel Weisz dined at the restaurant in 2014, when Weisz was in Dunedin to film The Light Between Oceans.
