Slow Cuts - burgers and sandwiches. It's really good here and reasonably priced with local wines and local beers on tap and great daily specials. Dine in and takeaway. They also do mains, ribs and salads. The smashed potatoes are awesome. Many reckon it's better than Ferg, try them both then you can decide!

Provisions do a good cafe style brunch/lunch with excellent cabinet food options too. On a fine day it's lovely to sit in their garden with your coffee and cake, or the best Reuben sarnie in town.

The best wee pub in the Wakatipu Basin. Visit the iconic Fork and Tap for a great selection of craft beers on tap, local wines and rather good pub food. With The Tap's spacious garden setting and a kids cubby house, you'll see how popular it can be on a sunny day. On a Wednesday evening catch the local Irish Music night, with anyone welcome to bring along their instrument or singing voice to join in. Or enjoy a mulled wine in front of the fire Apres Ski in the winter.

Drinks & Nightlife
"Hidden away across the alleyway across from Saffron and Fan-Tan is the Blue Door. The perfect hidden gem. Enjoy a local wine, beer, single malt or cocktail in the historic stone bar or outside in the sunny courtyard. The perfect place to start and end an evening as well as spend a few hours with friends and family. There is regular live music night on Wednesdays and DJ's play Fridays. During colder nights and winter months there's a real wood fire, mulled wine and winter cocktails. Awesome food available too!"
I always start with a Wooing Tree Blondie while mulling over the cocktail list.
