Rātā

Rātā is a restaurant offering unparalleled dining experiences in the heart of Queenstown, perfectly capturing the spirit of New Zealand – an unmissable destination for locals and tourists alike.

The design integrates the natural beauty of the region, with a sophisticated, contemporary interior utilising natural materials such as wood and stone; large windows provide ample natural light and breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. With its elegant yet relaxed ambience, Rātā suits a variety of occasions, from casual lunches to special celebrations.

The culinary offerings present a true celebration of New Zealand's rich food culture with a menu featuring an array of innovative dishes that highlight seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. Expertly crafted dishes range from tender meats and fresh seafood to vibrant vegetarian options, each dish a testament to the chef’s commitment to quality and creativity.

Rātā's wine program is equally impressive, featuring an extensive range of local wines from the renowned Central Otago region (particularly known for its exquisite Pinot Noir) in addition to premium wines from elsewhere across New Zealand. The knowledgeable staff are always ready to offer recommendations with expertise and passion.

What sets Rātā apart is its dedication to providing outstanding service. The staff are professional, friendly and attentive, ensuring that every guest feels valued and well-cared-for.

I wholeheartedly recommend Rātā restaurant for its remarkable blend of innovative cuisine, exceptional wines, and warm hospitality. It’s establishments like this that highlight the depth and diversity of New Zealand's food and wine culture.
