Grab a late-night burger, a curry for a night in or fish and chips for the lakefront.

This guide is grouped by what you feel like eating, then by where you are, with options across central Queenstown, Frankton, Arrowtown and further afield. Check the venue pages for delivery, online ordering and opening hours. Expect a queue at the popular spots at peak times. Watching the budget? See cheap eats and quick bites.
