Serves meat, vegan options available. Market place restaurant offering a few vegan items such as sushi, sandwich, wrap, a daily soup, chia pudding, and sweets. Open Mon-Sun 9:30am-6:00pm.
The view on a clear day is great, uprising number of vegan options available including pizza and a giant wrap.
They were very accommodating in changing things around to help with requirements, including putting together an amazing vegan & gluten free pizza.
What an amazing place! Probably the best restaurant view in all of New Zealand! They have a nice selection of vegan options, especially if you phone in advance. They have a huge selection of savoury foods such as roasts, indian, chinese, thai, vegetables...as well as a selection of sweets too. Well worth the money! A must do in Queenstown!
Usually with buffets I make a sad, slow shuffle to the hot chips, but not this time. There's an entire plant-based section with meatballs, chorizo, vermicelli, bean masala and cauliflower curry, and then scattered around the other sections I found vegan soup, fried rice, pasta/sauce (recommended with the meatballs chorizo), and a salad bar with an awesome pomegranate sauce. I stuffed myself because I have no self control.
Three stars because there was only two desserts (amongst about a dozen), fruit salad and a tapioca pudding which was mid, and the high price tag. The combination of the gondola and dinner means you're not walking out of there for less than $250 (for two people), or even more than that for premium seats and/or drinks.
Had a chocolate vegan muffin. It was pretty good. Nothing to rave about but I'm glad they have some vegan options here. It's good to have options up here in case you get hungry and don't want to go back down yet.
Amazing experience, there was vegan lasagna, chickpea curry, jackfruit stew & sushi - all were sensational. Four stars because there was no vegan dessert aside from the usual fruit salad. On the whole super vegan friendly & a great day out.
I surprised my Girlfriend for dinner here after doing a bit of research and calling up before booking. The lady on the phone said that “half of the options were Vegan” I was pleasantly surprised by this and booked. Upon arriving we were greeted by “So you’re the Vegans are you?”. There weren’t anywhere near the amount of options available as described by the staff over the phone, I would personally not dine again due to the very high price and lack of Vegan options. The 1 Vegan main they had was a really nice chickpea curry.
It was a lovely experience as we had a window seat and a bottle of wine to share. However our table service was overlooked many times, I think our waitress was new, she spilled the wine a few times, but was very apologetic.
I went here for lunch with my non vegan husband and the food was amazing. They had a fair few vegan options. I had tofu vegetable curry, rice, crunchy roast potatoes, steamed veg and they also had other bread and sauces however I did not try these as I am also gluten free. Tags beside the food state vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free, nut free etc. So tbat was very helpful. We purchased our entry in a pack for the day at the front counter. Only downside was no naughty vegan dessert, only fruit salad. But would definitely return again!
