With a resume that includes the likes of Noma, executive chef Vaughan Mabee is no stranger to excellence. He was awarded our Best Chef gong in 2019, when he also took Amisfield to three-hat status. That reputation continues in all its gloriousness. While their enchanting staff create magic on the restaurant floor, Mabee and his talented kitchen team works closely with a dedicated forager and experienced charcutier to hunt, gather and curate ingredients from their Central Otago back door. In doing so, they tell a New Zealand food story that is unsurpassed. Amisfield’s organic single vineyard estate wines provide the perfect partners, along with a selection of the world’s best. The menu changes frequently, but the constant is the stunning representation of New Zealand food culture, delivered flawlessly. If ever there was a case of the best just getting better, it’s open for lunch, too.

IN BRIEF The crowning glory of Queenstown
