The Foundry Restaurant brings contemporary evening dining to Waikiwi through a neighbourhood restaurant and bar on North Road. Its dining room opens for dinner seven days a week, serving a menu that gives Southland ingredients a visible role. Practical details support a planned night out: there is onsite parking, a courtesy coach for the journey home and private-function service, while the drinks programme places wine and beer alongside the full dinner menu. The format suits both an ordinary dinner and a larger gathering.

Dinner can begin with familiar flavours handled in distinctive ways. The seafood chowder is rich with locally sourced seafood and comes with garlic ciabatta, while sticky pork ribs use a salty-sweet hoisin and sesame glaze. Cajun-crusted cauliflower sits over corn purée with Parmesan crumb, and house-made duck spring rolls pair a spiced filling with chilli and lime. Flash-fried calamari continues that bright, crisp theme. Lighter choices move through kumara and chicken salad, pulled-pork bao, seafood salad and changing pasta dishes.

The main-course list favours generous combinations rather than restrained compositions. New Orleans fried chicken comes with a cauliflower and potato bake, seasonal salad and homestyle gravy. Chicken parmigiana uses Manuka-smoked ham, Napoli sauce and grilled cheese, while the Mango Chicken Twist fills chicken breast with cream cheese, mango and chilli before adding potato rösti, fresh salsa and a coconut Malibu sauce. Slow-cooked pork belly and a large rack of hoisin-sesame ribs bring two contrasting sweet-spiced treatments of pork.

Southland character is clearest in the lamb and seafood choices. Lamb shank, a changing lamb supreme and crumbed sweetbreads sit beside local blue cod fried in beer batter. The Foundry Sizzler stacks porterhouse with smoked bacon, tomato, onion rings and grilled cheese on a hot cast-iron plate, while rib-eye, surf and turf and an open steak sandwich round out the grill. Vegetarian and gluten-free markings make the menu easier to navigate, keeping the broad regional style workable for mixed dining groups.
