Eichardt's Bar has traditionally been the place we visit on the first night when arriving in Queenstown. We look forward to a cosy environment, good view of the lake, excellent wines, tasty Tapas and excellent service. We were a bit disappointed on our recent visit. It seems that the standard has slipped a bit, albeit still at a very high... More

Fantastic atmosphere with open fire place, leather lounges and views of the lake and the mountains. It's quite small, so make sure you make a booking or go there early to get a table. The tapas were a piece of art and very tasty and the service was excellent. Breakfast was fantastic, too. We had Eggs Benedict and they were... More

This has to be the best place in Queenstown to drop into. It is always warm and welcoming. Add to that a fantastic wine list, open fire, friendly staff and wonderful tapas. We started with Bollenger, decided to stay. The tapas included calamari tempura, pork belly, squash, parsnip & cumin fritters (yum), polenta and wild boar pancetta...... All accompanied by... More

Great place for a nice breakfast, lunch or tapas! The omelets are made to order and the blueberry pancakes were delicious! You know it's good when even the locals stop in for breakfast! This is a great place to hangout at night too! Delicious tapas and drinks and a fabulous view of the lake!

We were staying at the hotel so visited the bar for dinner. We were lucky to get a seat by that fantastic view of Lake Wakatipu. The cocktails were so huge they lasted us the whole meal - my Mule was very refreshing! The tapas were a real treat. Underneath their excellent presentation, the salt cod croquettes and bruschetta with... More

Cosy bar with very attentive staff. We popped in one drink, but ended up staying for more cocktails and delicious tapas. It's a small, intimate bar so be prepared to wait a few minutes for a table at peak times. One of the best in Queenstown.

This is my favourite place in Queenstown, especially in Autumn when it is just turned cold and you want a warm respite. This small room has a fire going, thick curtains to stop the cold from coming in and soft seating. The room is just so inviting. The food as always was perfection! We had eggs benedict - perfect bacon... More

Nice and warm on a cold night. Friendly service albeit a bit noisy early in the evening. Pumpkin and parsnip fritters very good, oyster trio great especially the smoked oyster...went back for a trio of them alone. Wine list comprehensive and reasonable priced considering quality of the location. Will go back for the chowder....shame it's not served in the evening.

Back to Queenstown, despite the cold we wanted a quick break from au to see the autumn festival in Arrowtown. We stayed in house again to do a second chance due to the lovely building and possie on the lakefrnt. There is something lacking, perhaps it was because the bar was cold and the staff unfriendly, but the bar feels... More
