    Make your own bowl and a side of black pudding.

    This place is so good. They now have vegan nights on Tuesdays from 4 to 9pm. I've been coming here since 2016 for their roast pumpkin salad. I'm not even vegan but I love their food because it's so good you. You know how it is, sometimes you just cant eat healthy. But I will when I have the chance, and the place to eat would be here!

    Amazing breakfast! Had the avocado toast and it was loaded with generous amounts of avocado and tomatoes. My boyfriend had the pancakes and they are delicious! I highly recommend this place for a delicious breakfast with friendly service!

    Simple, delicious food! Chicken breast and the pulled pork (& great fries!!!!)

    We wanted to come here for breakfast, but by the time we got there it was already lunch time. Now I am glad we had lunch because it was so good! I had the open faced chicken breast sandwich and my husband had one of the burgers. Both the food and the service were fantastic and I liked that they were slightly tucked away and not near the busiest parts of town. Great choice for a sit-down meal during our short stay in Queenstown and their takeaway display and coffees looked equally delicious! Note: The iced chai was one of the best things I have ever had!!! Seriously. And I don't really even have a sweet tooth.

    Vegan breakfast with extra scrambled tofu

    I went here for breakfast as heard they had a vegan option, but they had a whole vegan menu that was brilliant. I had the vegan breakfast with scrambled tofu on the side and it was delicious. Reasonably priced and good service too. The cafe has a cool vibe and we felt like we could hang around as long as we liked. Would definitely recommend!

    Had breakfast here two days in a row while visiting Queenstown. I can see why it's a popular establishment. Food was delicious and the coffee was spot on. I like that they don't make you feel rushed even if the place is hopping busy. Friendly staff was also a big plus. Will seek this place out, again, the next time we're in Queenstown.

    Cute little cafe with great breakfast. We were seated promptly, the service was great and the food came out piping hot within a very reasonable time. I ordered a breakfast burrito with chorizo. The burrito is a good size portion filled with a generous portion of black beans, eggs, veggies and chorizo. It has a good spicy kick to it. The hubs ordered a breakfast platter which was pretty standard but delicious nevertheless. The chai latte was sweet but very good and to my liking. We ordered a side of pancakes and they were very good... so fluffy and moist. There is a takeout counter for coffee and pastries. The muffins looked amazing. The menu has good variety and would please anyone in your party. They have a vegan menu that looks delicious and the drinks menu is extensive. The outside patio is super cute and perfect on a day with good weather. The location is perfect for a stroll down to the lake and through the various shops and cafes. Street parking is available and was not a problem on a Sunday morning for brunch.

    The view outside. I forgot to take any other photos!!

    Had breakfast two days in a row here. We'd eaten here back in Feb and it's tasty, big breakfasts and good coffees and smoothies. Service was lacking in the Sunday morning - hangovers affecting the team? In summer you can sit outside, in winter inside is warm & cozy. A must eat at when in Queenstown.

    Good vegan spot too. The coffee was great. They have alternative milk options. Will go back to try other food options.

    Much like Yonder down the road, breakfast, lunch, tea or drinks Halo does it all. Additionally an excellent layout and atmosphere.

    Flame Bar & Grill - Half Rib & Skewer

    Flame was a relaxing place to enjoy a good meal of good meat.  For our dinner, we enjoyed the lamb…read moreskewer which was dramatically presented hanging down over the plate and the half rack of ribs.  Both were delicious as were the accompanying fries.    The space features lots of plants and windows that, on the day we were there, were open to bring in the breeze. Their signature dessert was very theatrical as it is set aflame right at your table.  It was a fun way to end a very satisfying dinner.

    This place is known for their ribs and steak. It was bustling and difficult to get seating, but…read moresince I was solo, I got a spot at the bar. The interior was rustic, spacious, with a warm and comforting ambiance. I wanted to try a little of everything, so ordered the Flame Mixed Grill ($67 NZ), which consisted of famous Ribs, grilled Sirloin Steak, Boerewors Sausage, rotisserie Peri Peri Chicken, along with roasted baby potatoes with sour cream. This took awhile to come out, but it was worth it! Ribs were sticky in a bold, smoky, tangy, savory BBQ sauce. The meat was delightfully tender. Steak was cooked perfectly, succulent, and well seasoned. Sausage was slightly charred and quite juicy, paired wonderfully with flavorful chimichurri. Chicken was not really my favorite, as I found it lacked flavor and was a bit dry. Potatoes were soft and pillowy that worked nicely with the creamy sour cream, but only 3 small ones. Service was solid. The waitress was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was tasty and it was a lovely, hearty feast of a dinner!
