Finz Seafood and Grill

How about fresh seafood by the lake for supper? An exemplary restaurant that showcases local produce, Finz Seafood & Grill is a lakeside gem in Queenstown.

Picture this: the Remarkables so clear you could almost touch them, the blue waters of Lake Wakatipu so close you can hear the lapping waves and an eatery so elegant yet approachable that it hits the right note whatever the occasion. Paints quite a pretty picture, doesn't it? In short, Finz is the perfect all-rounder, and it doesn't hurt that it has a front-row seat overlooking the lake.

So, what is New Zealand's sea and land rustling up for dinner? Well, let's take a gander in the glistening waters for steamed mussel dumplings; sashimi plates piled high with scallops, tuna and salmon; seafood chowder and tempura soft shell crab. Can you believe that they are only the starters?

Bigger plates require bigger fish that are transformed into Finz's signature fish & chips, seared tuna loin with Asian sides crispy skin Akaroa salmon with Mediterranean sides and a butternut squash purée. Meanwhile, the land offers plenty too with NZ lamb rump and a trio of winning steaks with treat-ready sides.
