No5 Church Lane

In the heart of Queenstown, where the rugged charm of New Zealand's landscapes meets a slice of European flair, you’ll find No5 Church Lane, a venue that’s as focused on the art of small plates as it is on the joy of sharing.

With interiors that hint at elegance and a laid-back vibe that’s as inviting as a friend's living room, No5 Church Lane offers an intimate escape from the hustle of Queenstown's streets. Here, rustic wooden elements blend flawlessly with modern touches, creating an atmosphere where conversation flows as freely as the drinks.

The menu is a showcase of Indian, Moroccan, and South African influenced tapas-style dishes designed to ignite taste buds and promote communal dining. Start with the spiced lamb skewers with cucumber labnah, or choose the ghee confit cauliflower, chickpea and vadouvan.

For a centrepiece that’s both a conversation starter and palate pleaser, the 350g sirloin, with black garlic and fried onion is a hit. It’s an invitation to linger longer and delve into the night's possibilities, complemented by a glass from the meticulously selected wine list. The cured duck breast with braised kumara and citrus jus is perfect for those who enjoy the finer things in life. And for those who crave the thrill of the sea, the Cape Malay market fish with lemon butter and coriander oil stands out as a dish that mirror the restaurant's adventurous spirit.

Conclude your evening at No5 Church Lane with a drink in hand, perhaps a local pinot noir or a craft cocktail mixed to precision. It’s the kind of place where you can't help but plan your next visit before the current one concludes – a tribute to the allure of good company, exceptional food, and the magic of Queenstown nights.

So, gather your favourite people, snag a spot at No5 Church Lane, and partake in the ritual of tasty food, sip by sip, nibble by nibble. It’s not just dinner; it’s an affair to be savoured.
