Awesome lounge with cozy fireplaces and has a great selection of comfort food. We shared the vegetarian platter between three people and it was more than filling. It had a wide selection of cheeses, breads, veggie fritters and the best sweet chutney! “I Am Kiwi” is the perfect drink for a lady which is fruity and vodka based - good for an evening out with the girls or to order on a date night. The guys ordered chocolate espresso martinis and a spicy chocolate margarita which were delicious as well. Be sure to check out the Sun Deck above Attiqa and I suggest booking reservations in advance as the tables get filled quickly! The rooftop has an amazing view of the water and of the mountains of Queenstown. Sit around the fire with a group of friends and enjoy the wide selection the menu has to offer. They have unique dishes for vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters. The cheese fondue was delicious and their chocolate fondue was the perfect dessert. Thanks again for the great vibe and awesome food!

Reviewed By Luckybel

We visited The London on our first night in Queenstown a week ago. Great pizza, fantastic pasta and good vibe. We received excellent service from a lovely young girl named Georgia and we enjoyed our visit so much we decided to go there again today on our first day back in Queenstown. Georgia was there again and we were warmly greeted - and the chef remembered our special pizza order! We will definitely return again during our visit in Queenstown. Highly recommended. Hi LuckybelHow lovely to hear what a great experience you had! Georgia is a great member of our team, she'll be so pleased to hear your comments. We love to have returning customers - can't wait to see you back!RegardsThe London Team

Reviewed By Commodore173

Based on good recommendations we a group of four that is two families vacationing in NZ dropped in for dinner on 04 Nov evening at this restaurant. After a wait for ten minutes we were seated and placed our order at about 2010. When no food was served for about 45 mins, we brought it to the notice of the hostess. She gave the excuse of rush hour and after ten minutes or so some food materialised. We realised that there were wrong food served which was not ordered for. My friend brought it to the notice and soon all food served were whisked away. When there was no further activity my friend approached the manager and asked if there is any problem in serving us the food ordered without much further delay. The manager however haughtily alleged us for being rude and when we asked if we may cancel the order and leave, he quickly agreed without trying to sort out the issue. This surely was not expected in NZ where almost every person we interacted with whether hotel staff, or drivers, or guides have been so very helpful and courteous. Surely this restaurant management must look into such rude behaviour and poor services, which create a black spot in NZ hospitality.Hi there - thanks for your review. Flame whole heartedly accepts responsibility for this issue. I personally was the manager on duty with this incident and have after more research completely accept this incident was mis read. The information I had been given was inaccurate and I wish I had the opportunity to re-visit this situation. To the family concerned, my apologies. Flame has recognised we had an issue and have rectified the matter. We pride ourselves on our customer service and great food. Clearly, on this occasion, we did not deliver. We contact you directly.Kind RegardsChris HoganGeneral Manager

Lone Star Cafe & Bar - Queenstown

Reviewed By michaeldV2123SZ

On the road through the a South Island with the family (2 adults & 3 kids) we spent a couple of nights in Queenstown.Went for a quick family dinner at The Lone Star - typical American food, cooked well, and served by a great bunch of young people (I’m guessing mostly tourists themselves) all extremely friendly and accommodating.Great place for a casual meal and a couple of drinks, and also to watch live sport etc. Thank you for your review michaeldV2123SZ!We're happy you enjoyed your stop in to Lone Star Queenstown! We have been here since 1991 and pride ourselves on being consistent in our excellent food quality and fun atmosphere. Our team is important to keep it all going and they always like to here that you had a fun time with us! Make sure to stop back in when you're in town again, we're always great for a delicious meal, some excellent cocktails, and a fun crowd for a rugby match!The Lone Star Team

Located on the water's edge in the heart of beautiful Queenstown, Little Blackwood tempts you with a delightful cocktail menu, local beers and wines, signature cheese & meat boards, and tapas style offerings. Grab a drink and enjoy the million dollar view

Reviewed By Jade M

We popped in for a few drinks in happy hour. Lovely mulled cherry wine and a good list of beer. Very nice choice of cheese and meats and few other little tapas options such as squid/pork bites and chips. The big negative about this place was the music was lovely but so bloody load. We had to yell to hear each other - then add a few more people yelling over music onto that and it becomes terribly noisy and hard to think.It is only a small bar. Approx 10 sets at the bar and another 30 or so seated comfortably inside so if it’s busy (like it was by the fine we left) it was just too much noise and bumping against strangers. None the less lovely cocktail list, drinks and tapas menu. If you walk past and it looks less filled check it out. They also have a tiny outdoor seating section looking over the water.

Perky's - Floating Bar Queenstown

Queenstown & New Zealand's only floating bar! Tap beer, local wine and the best damn view in town! Plus BYO your own food. We are open 12noon - 11pm, Monday to Sunday!

Reviewed By brettnjess

What a brilliant idea, I sincerely hope everyone give them a go... such a simple concept and to enjoy sitting around drinking beer or wines and in winter mulled wine... such a beautiful picturesque scenery, people watching as well as lots of water sports. What do you have to do??? Go and buy some nibblies or food... a few of us bought Fergburger’s burger of Fergbaker’s pie... say hello to the bar person, buy your beer or wine, you can either sit inside or go upstairs and sit outside.. they even have panel heaters to keep you nice and warm. Enjoy the view, relax and when you finish, take your empty glasses back to the bar person. Simple!!! There is even a toilet on board.
