The Bathhouse

The Bathhouse invites you to relive the belle époque of the Edwardian era. Commanding majestic views over Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables mountain range, you won’t find a restaurant in Queenstown like this. Originally opened to celebrate King George V’s coronation, The Bathhouse oozes elegance, class and a certain grandeur. It mixes frivolous fun with the nostalgia of family holidays by the sea.

Sink your teeth into nostalgic classics like the cornflake cod with mushy peas and traditional Lancashire hotpot. If you’re hankering for something a little more fancy, you’re in the right place. We’re talking champagne-poached lobster, Hawkes Bay lamb rump, and malbec-braised beef cheeks. But that’s not to forget the sharing plates. Small in portion but big on flavour, you’ll go loco for the lamb sliders, beef croquettes and chicken cordon bleu.

And no meal is complete without a wine to accompany it. The Bathhouse showcases a selection of local wines, from light and fruity Rieslings to aged, full-bodied Pinot Noirs. There’s also an extensive champagne and international wine list to get stuck into. If you find yourself in Queenstown, a trip to The Bathhouse is essential for nostalgic foodies and fans of decadent dining.
