Four of us went here a while back and had a great meal of Italian staples with a twist here and there. The service was good, with a charismatic owner clearly proud of the operation. The toilets are full of amusing printed memorabilia, which lend an old-school alpine feel to the place. We had some great hearty food. The pizzas... More

My wife and I ate dinner here on two consecutive nights. Both meals are in my lifetime top five. If you are in Queenstown and enjoy great tasting, quality food, Vknow is a must. The chef's creation emphasize the combination of flavors and are careful not to overdo things. The dining room is simple, unpretentious and welcoming. Superlatives all around.

This is by far the best food we have had at a restaurant. The presentation is top notch and the taste is exquisite. The owners take the time to meet and greet and prepare all the food fresh to order. The plating is lovely to look at and eat up. Nice variety on the menu. Ate there 2 night in... More

Okay big claim. But great atmosphere, excellent host, always friendly and welcoming. Always great food and apple crumble is best I have ever had. I always eat here when in qt and last trip took my 9 yr old pizza lover who was made very welcome and loved his pizza. Also good wine. A great team here.

6 of us came here for dinner as recommended by a local and boy we weren't disappointed. Absolutely loved the food and great menu choice. Danny looked after us well. We would definitely come here again next time we are in Queenstown!

This place is on my top ten list in the world now! We came hear after hiking Routeburn track. Everything in this place is awesome! The decor matches the multi-level word play of the restaurant's name. It is kinky, unusual, original, unexpected, but not overdone - fantastic artwork on the walls and everywhere else. The service was excellent: helpful, polite,... More

Vknow was recommended by our Taxi Lady and we were glad we found it uphill from the Mercure Hotel. Denny helped us choose a special entree - Best Scallops and Brushetta - and then the Main pasta dishes were perfect finish. Also he shared his personal wine choice with us and gave a tasting of New Zealand area Pinot Noir.... More
