About Saffron
Saffron Restaurant, found in beautiful Arrowtown, is fine dining taken to a different level. The building housing this mouth-watering experience is a new corrugated iron structure. Peter Gawron includes South Island ingredients in the menu and complements them with Central Otago wines.
