Where to Eat

Delectable food and a great night out is always on the menu in Queenstown. We've teamed up with some of Queenstown's best bars and restaurants during the this years' Queenstown Jazz Festival to bring you a selection of special treats over Labour Weekend. 

We wish to both thank and also recommend the following restaurants for their active support of the Queenstown JazzFest. Not only are they among our favourite places to eat, drink and play - they also provide wonderful hospitality to our visiting musicians. So please visit these great establishments whilst you're in town and who knows... you may even be seated next to one of your favourite jazz artists!
