🏠 Bespoke Kitchen

🕗Opening hours: 07:30–16:00
The foot of the city skyline is very close to the cable car. The decoration inside the store is relatively warm, and the outdoor transparent glass room is also beautiful. I like their pancakes and matcha lattes. If you go to take the cable car, you can check in here.

Before setting off for Paradise Town, we had a rare brunch in Queenstown. Bespoke Kitchen is very close to the cable car. This restaurant specializes in organic food and has won the reputation of New Zealand's Best Cafe of the Year.
The shop is bright and clean, and the dessert cabinet is full of desserts, which makes you hungry. Many people dine here, which seems to be very popular. Coffee, muffins, waffles and various cakes are recommended. Desserts really make people happy.

Perfect for lunch before a walk around town. Many thanks to Dermot, Leah, Adele and Eve for your wonderful service. We had a wonderful lunch and it was a memorable experience.
📍Queenstown
🍋Vudu
A very popular shop. One wall is covered with handmade silver spoons from Australia. Breakfast starts at 7:30, and the window is filled with carefully matched and plated food
💙💙Fresh white is mellow and rich, with a fruity aftertaste
💙💙The carrot roll is moist and solid, and the combination of cinnamon and nutmeg is just right
💙On the pancake, the sour but not sweet berries are super delicious with honey
The restaurant is right by Lake Wakatipu
🍋The Bunker
The rural nostalgic style, the old wooden door and the "no desire to survive" sign are easy to miss. Mainly European cuisine, New Zealand cuisine and creative cuisine. The yellow and old lights, dark and dark wood decorations, and ancient objects give a full score of retro feel
💙💙The New Zealand black gold abalone is soft and glutinous. After swallowing, the rich fragrance lingers in the mouth
💙💙The foie gras is just the right sweet and sour taste, melting in the mouth, and has a strong collision with the rich layers of the sauce, which is not inferior to French restaurants
💙The cocktails are completely worth the price, the pure malt whiskey, the mulled wine with spices, the spirits are so delicious
🍋Botswana Butcher
A small white wooden shop, sitting in a small garden overlooking Lake Wakatipu, with a large glass wine storage room and an open bar. It focuses on New Zealand cuisine and seafood, emphasizing the original flavor.
💙💙Oysters are their specialty, produced from Bluff, and paired with yellow sauce, they are immediately surrounded by the sea
💙💙The double method of venison half-rare and fully cooked is worth marking
💙Roasted pork leg with apple and fennel can taste the chef's full sincerity
💙The drinks are relatively bland, just neutralize the aroma of the food
📍Wanaka
🍋Lake Bar
The delicious taste is worthy of the excellent location. The restaurant is a rough and mysterious retro industrial style
💙💙💙The seafood soup is rich in ingredients, rich and delicious, highly recommended
💙💙Blue cod with fries, a perfect collision of tenderness and juiciness with crispy and sticky
💙💙Grilled pork ribs, with mashed potatoes underneath and sweet sauce, delicious and melt-in-the-mouth
Lake Wanaka and the Snow Mountain are right in front of you
📍Christchurch
🍋Twenty seven steps
Located on the main street, the store is small and the balcony is full of bright plants. You can see the small train outside the window. The simple black European style, with small glass candles on the table
💙Scallops with sun-dried tomatoes are sweet and delicious, full of surprises
💙💙Parsnip puree with just the right steak and Yorkshire pudding
💙A glass of Shiraz wine, the rich aroma of black currant and black pepper fills the mouth
📍Tekapo
🍋Kohan
The restaurant maintains the simple but not simple style of Japanese restaurants
When the stomach is full of Western food, it is refreshing to have an Asian meal
The fish roe is fresh, the edamame is sweet and refreshing, the tempura is crispy and not greasy, and the caramel pudding is rich in egg flavor

A great place for a quick, light meal. I gave it 4 stars because our meal was a bit oily. It was really cheap to eat here but I imagine it would be just as cheap in Queenstown. They have a seating area which was perfect for us but you can take your food to the waterfront when the weather is nice.

After looking at several menus, I found this restaurant relatively cheap, so I decided to give it a try. We ordered beef Wellington and salmon. I personally felt that the beef was just so-so, not too surprising, but the salmon was good, especially the sauce. In terms of price and food quality, this restaurant is cost-effective.
Pub On Wharf is a western restaurant and bar in Queenstown. There is live music every night. The atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant. The food portions are large and the prices are cheap. New Zealand salmon is worth eating.

We came to this restaurant for breakfast during our trip to Queenstown. It was a great restaurant with great service and good food. There was plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors.
Oysters and seafood platters are very affordable, authentic delicacies, and very satisfying.

This is a very tasteful western restaurant. This western restaurant called Wakatipu Grill is located in the local five-star Hilton Hotel. The environment is naturally needless to say, and the food is also very delicious. The plump oysters are a must-order dish!
The environment is great and the location is excellent. You can enjoy the food and the beautiful view. It is a blessed place with good feng shui.

Then I took a photo and it was a great movie. The scenery was really beautiful, and of course the food was also good.

I really envy the people who live here~
I recommend a restaurant, Eichardt's Grille, with a great view and delicious food!

As it got dark early in the winter we were unable to see the beautiful scenery but we still had a beautiful view of Queenstown at night. The service was excellent. The food was as described and we highly recommend the delicious venison
As a global hotel experience officer, I had the honor of visiting the MGallery Hotel St. Moritz in Queenstown, New Zealand, and started an unforgettable lakeside journey. Queenstown, a paradise for outdoor activities, is also a gathering place for the rich, and the St. Moritz Hotel is undoubtedly a shining pearl in this paradise.
Arriving at the hotel, the first thing that catches your eye is its superior geographical location. It is not far from the city center, but you can enjoy the tranquil beauty of Lake Wakatipu. The lobby is located on the 4th floor. When you check in, you can enjoy the lake and mountains, and the fatigue of the journey is instantly swept away.
I booked the Alpine Suite and made a special note that I hope to upgrade to a lake view room. Although I was only upgraded to a garden view in the end, this little regret was quickly made up by the hotel's warm service and thoughtful facilities. The minibar in the room is free of charge, and the supplies are the high-end brand Moltion Brown, which makes people feel the hotel's intentions.
Experience:
The hotel has complete facilities, from the gym, sauna to the outdoor hot tub. Although I haven't experienced it, I can imagine that these facilities will definitely bring great relaxation after a tiring day. In terms of dining, Lombardi restaurant not only provides delicious Western breakfast, but also unforgettable lunch and dinner, especially wood fired Lasane, which is said to be a traditional recipe learned by the hotel chef from his grandmother. It tastes great and must be tried.
Comments:
The experience of MGallery Queenstown St Moritz is noble and comfortable. Although the upgrade of the lake view room failed to meet expectations, I am very satisfied with the overall service and facilities of the hotel. The free soft drinks and high-end supplies in the minibar in the room, as well as the food in the restaurant, reflect the hotel's respect and care for guests. In addition, the hotel's location is excellent, whether it is to explore the natural beauty of Queenstown or enjoy the leisurely life of the town, it is an excellent choice.
In summary, MGallery Queenstown St Moritz is an ideal choice for travelers seeking a high-quality holiday experience. Both the hotel's hardware facilities and software services are impressive and worth a try.
