Wood-fired Pizza
A 1930s church moved to the Frankton countryside and turned into a wood-fired pizza restaurant, which is a sentence that earns its own pause. The sprawling terrace handles summer crowds; a covered pavilion steps in when Queenstown winters arrive. The menu leans Italian, with cacio e pepe alongside the pizzas, and the pecorino churros exist in defiance of category. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand.

Rank 15. Jervois Steak House
Steakhouse
An open fireplace anchors the main dining room at this two-floor steakhouse inside the Sofitel Complex, where charcoal-cooked Angus from New Zealand shares the menu with Wagyu from Australia and Japan. The wine list runs to over 40 by the glass, which is either very generous or a trap, depending on how the evening goes. The kind of place you go when the occasion demands red meat and no apologies.
