Service was excellent. We had 8 oysters and two mains and a bottle of sparkling mineral water for $ NZ 122. Unfortunately at night, there was no real view of Lake Wakitipu, to admire. Food was excellent, with the exception of one main, Gurnard fish of the day. Very dry, probably over cooked. I probably should have sent it back,... More

The food in this restaurant is unbelievably excellent. The service is low key, but very attentive. I would highly recommend it.

Exceptional culinary experience in a refined, slow-paced, tranquil and intimate environment. Wonderful view of the lake & moutains.

Appetizers: oyster in oatmeal & vennison oso bucco w/licorice foam & Nelson scallops. Palate cleansing sorbet... More

True South Dining was by far the best dining experience we had in New Zealand. The staff are very professional and attentive, the food is superb as is the selection of wine. Highly recommended venue.

We dined as a family in the restaurant for dinner and a breakfast. The food was well prepared and presented. The service top notch, and views to die for. The wine selection in the restaurant is like none I've seen before. If your up to it, I'd recommend the degustation menu, a great mix of flavours and the staff do... More

We loved this restaurant so much we went there twice in a 4 night stay. Our 12 yo daughter say she did a Pork Belly tasting tour of New Zealand, trying Pork Belly in several restaurants as we travelled and True South won the comp. All the food was divine and the service fantastic. Our well behaved children were made... More

Sensational view. Went for breakfast with a colleague. Service was a bit over the top with 4 staff asking our coffee order, luckily we only got 1 coffee each. Really nice views over lake and buffet breakfast very good.

Ambience, setting and service... all top notch. We had dinner here twice and continental breakfast once. We were so impressed after our first dinner there (coupled with the advice of fellow travelers) that we kept to True South for our second night in Queenstown, too. It might be on the pricey side, but our experience made for memorable meals. The... More
