Vudu Cafe is nice but Vudu Cafe and Larder is nicer still! Love sitting outside right next to the lake. The tuna melt is yummy and they make an awesome coffee! Fantastic staff who really go out of their way to look after you. Can highly recommend!

We had our last breakfast in Queenstown here. Small cafe with limited seats. You have to be here early. Good breakfast to fill you up till lunch. I had the smoked salmon with eggs Benedict & it was good. Coffee was good too.

Exquisite gluten free brownies, excellent coffee & a buzzing atmosphere. Chicken panini & ham sandwich - very delicious. Friendly staff & willing to readily assist. We went 2 days running - it was that good!!!!!!

The staff at Paraflight recommended this place and I'm so glad we decided to visit! The food was delicious! We got the crispy chicken and blue cod dumplings. Both were delicious, reasonably priced and the wait wasn't very long. We also ordered the juice blends which were refreshing but a tad pricey. Didn't end up trying any of their desserts... More

Nondescript store front, but great choice of food items for lunch and breakfast. We ate here twice while in Queenstown. Nice to sit outside and people watch. The food was good. No complaints here!

During my stay in New Zealand I have also stopped in Queenstown. Beautiful little town on the lake! My friend from Te Anau suggested I go and have a meal at Vudu Cafe. And god, was she right! I had amazing veggie sandwich in New Zealand. I've chosen wholemeal ciabatta bread with roasted vegetables and halloumi cheese. It arrived neatly... More

I ate here twice while in Queenstown- once for lunch and once for breakfast. Both times were incredible, but if I had to pick, I'd say lunch was better. The food at Vudu is amazing! I went with several friends and we all ordered something different and shared- we loved every single thing we ordered. Save room for dessert- they... More

Vudu's reputation is widespread leading to it always being difficult to get a table for lunch at either of the versions of Vudu. The range of counter/cabinet foods demonstrates why that is - the food looks and is superb as is the coffee and the service.

Had a breakfast here and was just amazed at the selection of food in the display cabinet. I could have chosen just about every single thing in there. Then the top of the counter was covered in delicious Kiwi Cafe food, like muffins, scones, you name it, it was there. Great atmosphere and excellent service. We ate in the Rees... More
