Filling and tasteful for a good price - Edit
When in Queenstown, it's hard to have healthy food and not spending all your budget on it. This is a fair option that solves that problem. I tried the salad; for the price of the large one you can get as much salad as you want (but they serve you just once, there's no "refill"), with falafels on top. I liked that it was big enough to fuel me up after a long morning track. I heard a lot about pies and wraps, haven't tried them yet. For some reason it wasn't possible to pay with international credit cards, don't know if that's already solved. Note that it closes early.
Read morePros: A lot of salads, Fair prices (considering Queenstown standards), Tasty dressing
Cons: Serves meat, Closes early, Not possible to pay with international credit card

quick, flavorful, healthy, fresh - Edit
Wanted to come for lunch but they were closed so went early the next morning to get takeaway salad for my flight. Wish I could have tried their pies but the lady working there was so nice to quickly put together a salad for me. Really fresh, whole ingredients and delicious falafel tahini dressing! They totally understood vegan.

Amazing and filling vegan food available - Edit
We had one of each of the vegetarian/vegan pies (all vegetarian pies are actually vegan, which is noted on their menu), a large wrap in which we chose falafel, hummus with salads and two soy lattes.
Read moreThe wrap was huge and filled to a point I have never seen a wrap filled, the falafel is baked and not fried, the pies were both amazing and the lattes were the best coffee we have had in New Zealand (a little frothy for lattes though).
Options for your meat eating friends as well, although this cafe could easily function as a completely vegetarian or vegan cafe. Maybe in the near future ;)
Pros: Everything
Cons: absolutely nothing

Great salad bar and delicious lentil pie - Edit
This cafe offers several vegan salad options to choose from for a quick and healthy lunch. The lentil pie with a drizzle of tahini was delicious and filling. The staff was friendly and they offered incentives for reducing waste by bringing your own container.

Great lunches - Edit
My place of choice for a decent filling lunch to takeaway. I would always run here on my lunch break and get a big box of all the salads or the veggie roll. They usually have a vegan soup and two vegan pies on offer stuffed with spicy lentils and potatoes and served with hummus. Simply delish healthy comfort food! I don't know how they make the vegan pastry but it's the best! Always fast, friendly service here too.
Read morePros: Just yummy, Healthy delicious salads, Decent portions
Cons: Not much seating

Great Vegan Options - Edit
All the salad options are vegan - they have about 8-10 options and they're all different but delicious. There are fantastic vege rolls and a lentil pie. There are 3/4 sauces that are vegan and really tasty too. The staff are friendly and helpful, but serving sizes can depend on who you get/how busy it is. Their soups are vegan too but I haven't tried them yet.
Read moreThe falafel isn't worth it if you've ever had authentic falafel.
For Queenstown food it's a decent amount for the price, particularly the vege roll - definitely the best bang for your buck.
Pros: Variety, Friendly Staff, Excellent Vege Roll
Cons: Falafel is crumbly and lacklustre

Decent vegan options - Edit
A lot of different vegan options, but quite pricey given that the portions are rather small.
Read moreFood tastes alright, but could be better, especially the falafel and hummus, which don't seem to be very authentic.

Definitely a good place to go in Queenstown! - Edit
We were surprised by the variety of offered salads and decided to have a wrap with falafel. (Wrap can be provided gluten free)
Read moreYou can choose three salads, sauce and hummus for you wrap that comes either in small, medium or large.
I had the medium sized one for $ 12,50. It was delicious and very filling.
The desserts looked yummy as well... didn't try them though :) for sure next time.
Pros: friendly staff, fresh food, good atmosphere
Cons: hardly any daylight in the café but you could have

Delicious - Edit
One of the few good veggie lunch options in Queenstown! Always loads of fresh salad options. I either go for the salad box when I'm feeling healthy or get the wrap. The only con I have is that it's such a small shop and not a lot of places to sit but then again I normally take it down to the lake and enjoy the view while enjoying this delicious lunch.

Hidden gem - Edit
This restaurant is a little out of the way, but worth the hunt! A good selection of food. I had the vegan lentil pie, which came with a good serving of hummus and sweet chilli sauce.

Best lunch in Queenstown! 5 Stars! - Edit
My partner and I stopped into Habebe's for lunch on our last day in Queenstown and my only regret about the trip is that we didn't go sooner! We would have been back daily if we had known how great it was.
Read moreWe tried their Lentil & Vegetable pie, felafels, some salads, coffee and hot chocolate. Everything was beautiful. The staff were very helpful with which things were vegan, what could be made vegan (HOT CHOCOLATE!!!) and they gave us a fantastic meal and a very reasonable price. I cannot recommend Habebe's more, for a very affordable place to eat right in the heart of town with plenty of vegan options.
Pros: So many vegan options!, Very helpful, happy, and kind staff, Incredible food
Cons: No cons at all, I wish I went there sooner!

An OK Falafel kebab...... - Edit
I ordered a medium Falafel kebab to go. It was made fresh and was an ok size for a lunch snack but only had 2 falafels put in it. Fresh ingredients and good service. The falafels weren't overly tasty but were ok.
Read moreThey had several desserts on offer but only 1 vegan option. I tried it. It was called a 'flapjack' but was essentially a muesli slice that used golden syrup to sweeten/bind it together - it was very nice.
Not much of a dine-in experience here but it's only a short walk to the lake front where you can take your food to & eat amongst the beautiful scenery.
Pros: Fresh ingredients, Friendly service, Reasonable prices
Cons: Falafels could have been tastier

Salads - Edit
We had just arrived in Queenstown and we were super hungry. We walked around all the restaurants and it was relatively hard to find vegan options. Then we found this restaurant! The food was incredible. I had the warm salad (a mix of salads: carrot, beet, spinach, quinoa) and the falafel. It was topped with a hummus and medium chili sauce. They have plenty of vegan options. Would recommend!

Delicious Veg-Roll! - Edit
I found this restaurant/cafe through HappyCow.net and I can really just recommend this place. I had a veg roll for 7.50€ and a quinoa salad for 2$. The roll itself would have been enough for me for lunch. And it was really delicicous! A lot of food for a small price.
Read moreThey offer huge range of vegen salads, rolls, pies and coffee.

Great find - Edit
Oh man, what a find. I'd describe this place as a vegan cafe that also sells meat options. You can't accidentally order something that isn't vegan.
Read moreI had the vegan vege roll pie (a very reasonable $7.50), two salads (green beans and potato salad) ($2 each) and a falafel to try.
The vege roll was spectacular. A massive serving that felt healthy and was absolutely delicious. A real attraction.
I chose a couple of salads to go along side it, though I felt pretty full from all the food I ended up with (and I'm a big eater). The green bean salad was light and refreshing, though wasn't quite a next level experience. The potato salad was largely along the same lines. Lots of other salad choices I'd like to try some time. One woman came in and ordered one of each!
The falafel was a little disappointing - quite dry and not as tasty as I would have liked. Obviously home made, however, and it felt made with love and wholesome ingredients.
Overall totally stoked with my meal here. I wish I was in Queenstown for more time to come back more!
Pros: Friendly staff, wholesome food, tonnes of vegan op
Cons: Some of the food a bit average

Food OK except for falafel & hummus - Edit
Had a lentil pie (NZ$7.5) with four salads (NZ$2 each), plus two falafel and hummus. A big pile of food for less than NZ$20. Lots of vegan options. The pie was good even after reheated. The salads weren't too shabby either, clean, fresh tasting, and all vegan to boot. Hummus was on the mealy side and merely passable, while the falafel were downright horrible. They were dry, didn't taste like much, too chunky, and fell apart easily. Nothing in them reminded me of falafel. To call them as such is a complete travesty of the original food. Funny, two of Lebanese signature dishes turned out to be the worst things on the plate at a self-labeled Lebanese restaurant. That said, this place is still a good option in Queenstown where vegan food is surprisingly few and far between. One caveat: they are open till 5 pm only.
Read moreAll things considered, this place is between a 3 and a 4 but probably closer to a 3.
Pros: good value, vegan options
Cons: horrible falafel & hummus, Not open for dinner

Good food. Eat here. - Edit
Really good, healthy-ish food. You have to ask to figure out what is vegan/not vegan, but the staff seemed knowledgeable. Portions were a bit on the small side, but the prices were reasonable and everything I tried was delicious.
Read morePros: Healthy, Good food, Good staff
Cons: portions could be a wee bit bigger
