Choose your town, choose your adventure. QUEENSTOWN DAYTIME EATING This is base camp for your South Island exploration. It’s supremely picturesque, up in the ‘alpine’ and no matter the time of year, populated with people from all over the world and walks of life. No day on a holiday should start without a good and proper breakfast, and the best in town is Vudu, where deliciously wholesome ones featuring fine local produce are dished up with gusto. You’ll find a few locations, but head for the spot affording views of Lake Wakatipu. Coffee savouring and scenery? Oh, so good. For those on the go, head to Fergburger’s bakery where all good dough-based delights live. From donuts to pies. It’s all here. Speaking of Fergburger, no trip to Queenstown would be replete without one of their revered burgers. This is an institution, hence the line out the front (regardless of time). What is it about fresh clean air that works up an appetite? This will cure the most famished of folk. Just out of Queenstown is Amisfield Winery; put this on your list. On their own, the food, wine and service are all excellent, but when combined, the experience is just exceptional. Either order share plates or fully commit and opt for the seven course degustation with matched wines. Ordering a box of their pinot noir to be shipped to your residential address back home is non negotiable. NIGHT-TIME DINING Regardless of budget, you’ll find something delicious. Those looking to spend a little more and treat themselves, should head for Botswana Butchery. There’s certainly an air of extravagance to it, which is only intensified by the indulgent food. Bottom line? Don’t have a big lunch. At the more casual end of the spectrum is Madam Woo, where contemporary Asian food and cocktails delight. The atmosphere is unmatched, and the service strong. Those looking to appease pizza cravings will enjoy The Cow - it’s hidden within a brick facade making it not too dissimilar to an English pub.
