Situated on New Zealand's South Island, Queenstown is known as a resort town in one of the country's most beautiful regions.

Queenstown NZ is the largest city in Central Otago and a significant centre for tourism, and for good reason.

There is no doubt that, for tourists and locals alike, Queenstown New Zealand is overflowing with reasons to love this town. Brilliant weather, and with so much to see and do around the Queenstown map, there is no doubt you'll work up an appetite on your holiday.

There are many restaurants in Queenstown to match any taste and every budget. You can select from fine dining, Japanese, Thai, Turkish, hearty pub meals, seafood, creative Pacific cuisine or traditional Maori food.

In the summer months you'll find that Queenstown's dining is alfresco, with diners eating out in the best of the South Island restaurants, sipping on cool local beer and wine.

Winter in Queenstown offers a different experience to eating out in New Zealand – dining that is warm, cozy, and romantic.

Consider trying seafood at Boardwalk Seafood Restaurant and Bar, or you can take up a romantic window-seat at Solara Vino.

For a little Queenstown hip, seek out the fashionably hard-to-find Joe's Garage for a chance to chat with a local and sip on a strong espresso.

Then there is the Wai Waterfront Restaurant with a menu that includes oysters, seafood, lamb, duck and much more.

Eating out in New Zealand is an experience not to be missed, particularly in the Southern Lakes Region where there are many fine-dining experiences.
