Still the best coffee in town. OK so all the cool kids say "it's not as good as it was" - and it was great when it was in the old fire station garage - but that doesn't take anything away from the fact that they still do the best coffee in QT. Breakfasts are pretty good too.

A gem of a restaurant and bar tucked underneath Winnies. First of all, you can't help but be amazed at the astounding decor. The whole place is fitted out like a trading emporium of the gold rush days. The food is classic gastro-pub style featuring plenty of 'kiwiana' which we loved. If you stay late enough you will find yourself dancing to classic retro tunes in the bar area, I know we did! The bar features a stunning array of local wines and there are some fantastic international beers on tap. We frequented this bar/restaurant quite a few times and were lucky enough to experience some great live music as well as a DJ spinning vinyl!

The BEST Pizza in Queenstown! Very family friendly and is totally unique. The roof opens! Have never seen that anywhere before. After dinner when the restaurant closes the bar stays open and Winnies turns in to a club. In the time I was there I saw live music, danced all night to DJ's, watched rugby and partied under the stars ... and snow! Love that roof! Love Winnies!

We went skiing in New Zealand when we were visting family and they took us to Queenstown. After a hard day on the slopes, the kids wanted a burger so we reluctantly agreed and ended up having the best burgers of our lives! They have a huge selection of gourmet burgers which come with HUGE portions of chips. There is something for everyone and it is really high quality, made while you wait with friendly chatty staff (even though they are really busy!)
