The Bunker Restaurant

Honestly could not fault a single thing, hands down the best dining experience ever! The staff were all charming, accommodating and down to earth, while still being really professional and efficient! The ambience inside was very cool, chilled speakeasy vibes, nice decor and very clean! Food wise, we both had the 8 courses and shared the meat and fish options, when we had the first bite of the first course we literally looked at each other and smiled in excitement as we knew we were in for a unique and special experience, and we were so right! My favourites were the Wagyu risotto and blueberry tart, my friend LOVED the snapper and we both loved the hare and bone marrow starter! If you’re in town and want actual quality of produce and service, I fully recommend making a booking! Thank you so much Bunker team, love your work! 😊

The only 6/5 I've ever wanted to give on a google review. We had an amazing dining experience doing the 8 course tasting menu. Everything was perfect from the atmosphere to the food & paired wines, and Grant's service was impeccable and incredibly knowledgeable (along with the others). It's definitely the place to be if you want an unforgettable culinary experience in Queenstown.

What an experience! We had an awesome night enjoying the 8 course tasting menu. Everything was perfect from the vibe to the food and wines I’d rate the experience 20/10. If you are looking for a nice meal perfectly paired with wines this is the place to go. The last dessert was the best with the late harvest Pinot gris wine.

We happened to stumble across this little cocktail bar after dinner somewhere else. Awesome cocktail menu, there is definitely something for everyone tastes and the barmen/ women are more than happy to make the classics too. They are beautiful presented with garish. It seemed to be quite a trendy spot for the tourists who were entertaining.

Really wonderful food and service. Our party had the eight course tasting menu. Staff explained each course and wine pairing wonderfully. The wines were paired really well. Portions were large for tastings. We were worried about dress codes, but the restaurant was lenient and we saw many parties with pretty casual clothes even though the atmosphere would indicate more formal attire. There was no issue accommodating the nut allergy my friend had. The only point of improvement would be the quality of cherries used in my aviation and other cocktails. It would have been preferable to get a luxardo or equivalent rather than a red maraschino.

I have had the pleasure of coming to The Bunker over the last ten years - it was exciting to come back after the renovations and see they’ve made more space to ensure more people can get bookings! Still feels like a wonderful almost speak east style atmosphere with great appointments a now larger restaurant bar but still kept the low heat fireplaces, leather, black table clothes and green “bookie” lights with the historical Queenstown photos to dine amongst. The food is always spectacularly prepared and is of portion sizes which mean you can do three courses or a tasting menu without feeling like you have to roll yourself back to your accomodation. The staff are incredibly inviting and knowledgeable about the local area, produce, flavours and dishes. Love a good chat with staff that are engaging and attentive. Cocktails are great to enjoy - the Casino Royale Vesper is still a favourite - smooth and delicious with all courses but the wine list is wonderful without being confusingly large featuring many of those that make this province shine for their wine making talents. For me it’s one not to be missed every visit on the near annual trips. Book early to get a preferred time with perhaps only 30-34 people able to fit in each half of the new renovations.

Faultless. Absolutely blown away. Penelope in particular was on pointe, lovely, perfect knowledge and witty. I grew quite fond of spotting how quickly the teams would spot empty water glasses or fold stray napkins table to table.They were beyond quick, consistent and on brand. The food is to die for. Literally would have been happy for that to have been my last meal, the chef(s) are genius'. I don't think I'll ever taste anything like it ever again, all seafood and red meat was devine. Can not praise the staff highly enough, nor the food, nor the ambiance. 100% worth the money. Thank you!

Atmosphere was lovely and staff were super inviting, interested and friendly. Food was pretty good, but a little lacking oomph, although the presentation was beautiful. It felt like a place that was very focused on being a fine dining establishment with very little portion sizing, but food that lacked substance. Audibly very quiet inside. Tables also seemed a bit close to each other and I could easily hear other couple’s conversations.
