Bespoke Kitchen , very close to the cable car, this restaurant specializes in organic food and has been named New Zealand's Cafe of the Year. The windows in the store are bright and clean, and the snacks in the snack cabinet are dazzling and have an appetite. Many people eat here, and it seems that the welcome is extremely high. Recommend coffee, muffins, muffins and various cakes, sweets are really pleasant.

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.

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 superb and the location is excellent. Enjoy the food while watching the beautiful scenery. Fengshui Fudi.

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 was fortunate to have set foot at the MGallery St Moritz in Queenstown, New Zealand, and embarked on an unforgettable lakeside trip. Queenstown, an outdoor paradise and a concentration of the rich, and the St Moritz Hotel is undoubtedly a shining pearl in this paradise. Arriving at the hotel, the first thing you see is its excellent location, not far from the city center, but you can enjoy the tranquil beauty of Lake Wakatip. The lobby is located on the 4th floor, and you can enjoy the lake and mountains when you check in. The fatigue of the journey is swept away in an instant. I booked Alpine Suite and specially noted that I wanted to upgrade to a lake view room. Although I only upgraded to a garden view in the end, this small regret was quickly compensated by the hotel's warm service and thoughtful facilities. The minibar soft drinks in the room are free, and the spare parts are selected from the high-end brand Moltion Brown, which makes people feel the hotel's intentions. Experience: The hotel's facilities are complete, from the gym, Sang to the outdoor hot tub, although not experienced, but you can imagine that after a tired day, these facilities will bring great relaxation. In terms of dining, Lombardi restaurant not only offers delicious Western breakfast, but also memorable 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 excellent and must be tried. Review: The experience of the St. Moritz Hotel Queenstown, Meiluge was noble and comfortable. Although the upgrade of the lake view room did not achieve the desired, the overall service and facilities of the hotel made me very satisfied. The minibar in the room offers free soft drinks and high-end spare parts, as well as the restaurant's cuisine, which reflects the hotel's respect and care for guests. Moreover, the hotel's excellent location is an excellent choice whether it is exploring the natural beauty of Queenstown or enjoying the leisurely life of the town. In summary, the St. Moritz Hotel Queenstown, MGallery is an ideal choice for travelers seeking a high-quality holiday experience. Whether it is the hotel's hardware facilities or software services, it is impressive and worth a try. #These hotel views are awesome #Hotel Experience Officer
