This light-filled space on Queenstown Bay Beach commands lovely views of Lake Wakatipu. Perfect for pre- or post-meal drinks, the handsome bar serves as the central anchor. The Mediterranean menu includes culinary highlights such as fire-roasted bread with lightly charred edges, a fluffy crumb and steamy centre – pair with antipasti to whet your appetite. The grilled octopus with smoked garlic purée and pistachio gremolata is tender, nutty and aromatic.
