Fine Dining
at Eltrego
A testament to the richness of New Zealand's natural pantry. Experience the intersection of traditional techniques and modern flair in the heart of Queenstown.
The Philosophy of Local Sourcing
Our executive chef believes that the best flavors come from the shortest distance. We have built strong relationships with local foragers, farmers, and fishermen to ensure a steady supply of fresh, high-quality ingredients.
From Bluff oysters to Central Otago stone fruits, our menu tells the story of the land and sea. This commitment to local sourcing not only supports the community but also guarantees an unmatched level of freshness on your plate. Each season brings a new palette of ingredients, dictated by the unique microclimates of the South Island.
Signature Main Courses
Our main course selection is anchored by premium New Zealand meats and sustainable seafood. Guests can choose from succulent herb-crusted lamb racks, wild-caught venison, or the catch of the day from the pristine southern waters. Each protein is handled with the utmost respect, paired with seasonal vegetables prepared to highlight their natural textures.

Ideal for groups or a light prelude to the evening. We offer artisanal cheeses, cured meats, and inventive vegetable-based appetizers. It is a social format designed to explore the breadth of our culinary range before transitioning to the gaming lounge.

Dietary Considerations
We believe that fine dining should be inclusive. Our chefs are experienced in preparing gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan options that do not compromise on flavor or presentation. Please inform our staff of any allergies when booking your table so that we can prepare the best possible experience for you.
Seasonal Transitions
As the weather changes in the Southern Alps, so does our menu. We transition four times a year to align with the natural cycles of New Zealand's produce. We celebrate the arrival of spring lamb, summer berries, autumn harvests, and winter root vegetables with equal enthusiasm and culinary precision.
