Eat + Drink Queenstown Central

The Market

Just across the road from the Sudima Hotel in Frankton, The Market is an easy low-key destination with a uniquely local vibe.

A local’s favourite, head to Hustl café for a delicious brunch. Hustl has a range of vegan GF and DF options available and are also licensed should you wish to spice lunch up with a beer or a cocktail. Must try items includes their Biscoff or Matcha Latte, Massaman Beef Brisket or Thai Pumpkin Soup.

Bakers Lane is a must-do! Experience Wendy’s famous filled-donuts, Whitakers-choc biscuits, decadent slices and freshly brewed coffee. New on the menu – yummy Choc Afghans, made the old-school way with cornflakes, chocolate shortbread, real chocolate icing, and a walnut crown. A classic Kiwi treat!

For food with soul, look no further than Paul and the team at Soul Food Organic. Beautiful organically grown produce, sourced locally, bulk bin pantry stocking, fresh pressed juice and smoothies with super-healing properties, guilt-free bliss balls and sweet treats.

A delicious meal for lunch or dinner, The Meat Preachers caters to all taste buds. From burgers, to wraps, healthy salads, twice cooked potatoes, to bangers on a skewer for the littlies. With meats cooked over an open flame, South-American style, you’ll be satiated and planning a return visit.

For all your Asian-fusion pantry essentials head to Kims Asian Mart (they have some pretty cool lollies for kids also!) and grab your favourite tipple from Merchants Liquor on the way out.

Kmart Foyer – Tinco Cafe

Located in Kmart Foyer, Tinco is the perfect mid-shopping pit-stop. A local’s secret – Tinco has become quietly famous for their Matcha and their Macarons!
You’ll also find muffins made fresh daily with irresistible flavours (think berry & white choc, blueberry with cream cheese and new Oreo crunch).

Foodies Lane – Central Street

Not sure what you feel like? Can’t agree as a family? Head to Central Street at Queenstown Central Shopping Centre.

If you’re in a hurry to get up the mountain St Pierres Sushi and Subway will have you sorted! Craving hot chips? Experience the new Signature Agria Potato Fries at Sal’s Pizza with your choice of Ketchup, Mayo, Garlic Aioli.

Needing comfort food? Try the Original Chicken Burger at Love Chicken or their new Lamb Souvlaki – licensed with local beers on tap.

New on the menu at The Coffee Club Spaghetti Meatballs and Ciabatta Meatball Sandwich crafted with a rich Napoli sauce, melted cheese, and fresh herbs. Top it off with Apple Crumble served warm with a golden crumb, classic vanilla ice cream, and a drizzle of rich caramel sauce. (Available until Mid-August)

To warm the soul (or spice things up) try authentic Thai food at Bronze Elephant, or experience a delicious ramen noodle at No8 Noodle.

For a memorable evening we highly recommend the Hikari Teppanyaki dining experience. Be entertained while having your meal cooked over open flames – bookings recommended.

Something sweet for after – head to Black Peak Gelato for locally-made gelato with rotating flavours-of-the-day, or grab an iconic bubble tea from Wu Cha.
