South Island, New Zealand Food Guide: 10 European food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Queenstown
Reviews on European food in Queenstown, South Island, New Zealand. Staggering beauty and heart-pumping thrills await in the resort town of Queenstown, which is also known for its Hobbits—much of the Lord of the Rings trilogy was filmed in the area. Outdoor enthusiasts flock to Queenstown for the kayaking, bungee jumping, jetboating, white-water rafting, hiking and skiing. More mild-mannered adventurers can take a quiet cruise through nearby Milford Sound, part of the Fjordland National Park World Heritage area, or sample South Island pinot noir from one of the region's 75 wineries.

10. Roaring Megs Restaurant

Now under new ownership! Established in 1981, Megs has continued to lead the field by being the only restaurant in the area to receive 21 consecutive NZ Beef & Lamb Gold plates(incl. 2019) and win both the recent Central Otago Lamb Dish of the Year and NZ

Roaring Megs is an elegant restaurant in Queenstown, with white tablecloths, attentive service and an excellent wine list. It is a small, family owned/run place and reflects the care and dedication of chef Jeanneret. The menu is not extensive, but every item is carefully prepared and presented. Try the Pork Belly appetizer or the three cheese ravioli. For a larger group, start with the Tasting Platter. The highlight is the rack of lamb, or, if you prefer, the confit of lamb shoulder. They are superb! If you are looking for something different, the Marlborough Hare or the Fiordland Venison might be your best choices. The extensive list of desserts deserves your attention too, so be sparing with bread and butter. The wine list focuses on local wines and the wines are well selected and priced.

The views are truly overwhelming from this establishment... lake, mountains, township, and weather. It not only provides the backdrop to handsomely styled interiors, but permeates the very essence of Lombardiâs raison dâêtre. Three unique spaces comprise

Just what we needed after an early morning flight from Melbourne. The wood fired lasagne was very tasty and a memorable dish. The burger was also excellent. This place is a great warm and cosy venue to have lunch. The views are to die for and the entrance to the hotel is warm and inviting. I particular enjoyed the welcome water which was infused with fruit. Our waitress was attentive and looked after us.

Open from brunch until late you can expect hearty healthy New Zealand fare sourced from fresh local ingredients. Try the localsâ favourite the three hour slow-roasted rib eye, or the Cecil Peak lamb. Or why not enjoy an afternoon aperitif with one of Ivy

My wife and I visited Ivy and Lolaâs for breakfast on a recent trip to Queenstown. I ordered the Hot Smoked Hoki. This white fish, similar to cod, was nicely flakey and smoky and was paired with creamy savory potato gratin, yolky poached eggs, fresh crisp greens, and a flavorful salsa verde. The dish was an enjoyable combination of flavors and textures. Overall, Ivy and Lolas is a quality spot for breakfast.

The London brings a taste of London nightlife to the heart of Queenstown. Located in the heart of downtown Queenstown on Shotover Street, The London offers an industrial underground vibe with a mix of steel, tiles and exposed brick. Dine in the cosy booth

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

Been here before and still a great place to visit and eat. Relaxing interior with pleasant view of waterfront. Had a few different serves of tapas. All well cooked and tasty. Had a mocktail that was delicious. Wait staff friendly and efficient. Nothing to complain about and a nice place to spend time and relax

Absolutely love this place, have been here every time we visit Queenstown over the past 3 years. The food is excellent and the setting is divine. Recommend booking in advance as it is quite popular these days. The rosè was not as delightful as previous years but still good. Seafood chowder is excellent as are the prawns. The service was a bit lax at first (25 mins waiting for the wine) but they rallied and all went well with the food. Kids menu is also available and very good.

Always excited to dine here, the food is generous, fresh, beautifully presented and the wines are incredible. The owners are so warm and friendly and really go above and beyond to make you feel at home and that you are important even with a full restaurant. The food came quickly and we couldn't even order a dessert we were so full after an entree and main. Keep up the great work, until we meet again!

This is a small restaurant that requires booking. The service was impeccable, well informed and able to advise on any detail. Their wine list is extensive and their recommended wine match was very appropriate. The pricing was high, but for the quality and experience it was reasonable, I have it on my contact list so we can dine there whenever we are in Queenstown.
