The Birches restaurant is one of Queenstown's finest dining establishments. The restaurant has a welcoming ambience and is the perfect location for fine exquisite dining. Overlooking the Shotover River there is no better place to dine. Our large International Wine list and beer selection is sure to whet your appetite for a sumptuous dinner afterwards from our award winning menu.
Our international chef Werner produces cuisine that is creative and unique and each dish is delicately prepared with true excellence and a fine sense of style.
Werner's cuisine evokes pure pleasure. Deep layers of flavour, textures and aromas entwine leaving a seductive memory that you want to recapture again and again.
During winter you may opt to enjoy a sumptuous meal in front of our open fire places, or be seated in our conservatory taking in crystal clear night skies and the southern stars. In summer relax on the balcony with a pre-dinner drink taking in the spectacular Shotover River views. A selection of fine New Zealand meats, accompanied by fresh herbs and vegetables prepared daily from our garden are available
Guests who dine in our Restaurant often comment that it's among the very best food they have eaten in New Zealand, some even don't hesitate to say, the world!
