The Boatshed Cafe – This is a local favourite sitting right on the lake beside the Frankton Marina. It’s hard to beat on a sunny summer morning with outdoor seating by the water and cosy in winter when the fire is going. The Chorizo Scramble is our pick!
Bespoke Kitchen – Another favourite for locals and visitors alike, Bespoke Kitchen is known for its healthy, beautifully presented brunches and award-winning coffee. Great atmosphere and nestled just below the gondola.
Provisions of Arrowtown – Tucked away in a beautiful garden setting in charming Arrowtown, this spot is all about seasonal flavours and relaxed vibes. The menu changes with the seasons, but one thing never does – the famous sticky buns. They come in a range of flavours and are an absolute must!
Yonder – A colourful and fun vibe, near the lake in downtown Queenstown. The menu is fresh and creative with plenty of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. It’s the kind of place you come for brunch and end up lingering a little longer.
Mora – A hidden gem located near Arrowtown and Lake Hayes. Set in a gorgeous garden with indoor and outdoor seating, it’s the perfect place to enjoy a slow morning. The menu focuses on fresh, seasonal ingredients. We love their famous french toast.
