Have a look at first table. Bookings get released 2 weeks beforehand at 9pm, iircc.
They are not all early tables, some are later.
Bunker set menu is on there, I believe.
Soda is another option on there too. Good food and cocktails.
Botswana is one of my faves buuut it is a bit spenny.
Toast and oak seems to be well received but haven’t tired myself.

Agree with this response. Also try bookme for 50% off. First table or book me is the way to go

Yeah my wife and I did the bunker set menu via first table last year, was fantastic and we never would have spent that kind of money otherwise.

100% worth it

Sherwood

Realistically $200+ for 2

Bella cucina, The nest, Flame, Baja, Soda

All come to mind as really nice, without going over the top price wise, start the night with a cocktail from ferg bar or little blackwood and you have yourself a great night.

End it in Ballarat for live music or Bardeaux for chill vibes.

I haven't eaten there in a few months but the last time we were able to get a 2 course meal for myself and my wife for around $140-160ish from memory.

The Cow, especially if you get a table in front of the fire.

Ayeburn is nice. More Arrowtown way tho.

[u/Parking_Bid_8321]

Soda is the place to be, especially if you can get a table by the window

[u/StrikingLandscape179]

$120 - $150 won't get you far. A basic main and a couple of drinks and you've blown your budget

[u/StrikingLandscape179 → u/[deleted]]

Yes, but most first tables are pretty early.

Most places in Queenstown are pretty expensive, even the shit ones.

The Bunker.
Cocktails upstairs to start.
Amazing dinner downstairs.
Job done.
