The Bunker

Wow, what a fantastic experience dining at The Bunker was! Delicious pink diamond cocktails and the most beautifully presented dishes all served in a lovely cosy atmosphere with a roaring fire. We loved all of our courses from the incredible scallops, the delicious gnocchi and the chocolate fondant! Our waiter Jeffrey was wonderful, explained all the dishes and service was excellent! The Bunker is definitely one not to miss in Queenstown and is undoubtedly one of the very best restaurants in town!

To be honest, I never actually realised there was a restaurant at Bunker! Now I have been, I will never forget.

From the moment we arrived we were greeted, had our coats checked and were looked after. We were offered drinks and then given time to read through our menus. (It never felt rushed, it was all well timed).

We of course took advantage of the 'Taste of the South' degustation. The paua and the hare were two of our favourites, but really it was hard to decide because the whole menu was outstanding. The wine matches were also superb.

Definitely a must-do Queenstown dining experience!

We had the 7 course “Taste of the South” menu which was incredible. A gorgeous setting with excellent service.

A wonderful experience in a devine environment.
Warm and cosy with the log fire burning, a bottle of Otago Pinot and superb food options available.
A must if you can get a booking .

The best dining experience so far in Queenstown! My partner & I went to The Bunker for birthday celebration. We had the Taste of South menu with wine pairing. Everything was carefully thought-through, beautifully presented, incredibly delicious with the balance with the pairing wine. The whole dinner was divine!
The waiters were professional and knowledgeable.
Love everything and it was such a wonderful, memorable dining experience! Fantastic!

Highlights - hare & beef dishes were well executed & delicious.
Lowlights - scampi was tasteless, watery & flesh visibly deteriorated, obviously not fresh and should not be served. On top of that dish was overly complicated and not enjoyable. In addition, the level of service should not be determined by the amount spent. Service was transactional with no attempt to engage with us, unlike other tables. True service is about proper altitude and courtesy shown to the customer which was lacking by the matured male waiter.
Overall, dining experience was unpleasant & disappointing. Not recommended.

Amazing food service and the location was relaxing ,we will recommend this restaurant to anyone we know who be going to Queenstown NZ Thanks again guys for an amazing night .Cheers

The food was nicely presented but there were too many flavours packed in the dishes. The staff were not welcoming and abrupt. The restaurant venue is unique and warm.

This place never, ever ceases to amaze me!!! First class service and food. Can’t wait to return again!!

Exceptional food!

We had a celebration night out with my friends and couldn't choose better. We've been to The Bunker before so we knew we won't be disappointed. We love this tiny cozy restaurant with the massive fire place, incredible food and excellent service. The best main for us was Pork belly but desserts were definitely the winner of the whole night! So delicious that you literally lick the plate as you don't want to waste a single drop of these treats.

Can’t fault! Perfect in every way!

Impeccable dining experience - fabulous food, attentive service and lovely warm atmosphere. A pleasure to have experienced.

The Bunker is a fantastic dining experience from the atmosphere to the food and the service. I highly recommend The Bunker.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience at The Bunker celebrating our anniversary. The service was exceptional and the food was amazing. The atmosphere is cosy and intimate. We recommend getting some extra sides with the mains as the portion sizes are not big. The sides were very good too. We would be coming back again next time we are in Queenstown.

Amazing food, great service and an overall very cozy restaurant.

Small and intimate with roaring fire and great service. Unfortunately my partner was unwell before dinner so it was cut short but the small amount of food we had was top class.

What an amazing experience! The food was stunning in both presentation and taste. We have not experienced much 'fine dining' before this, but they set the bar extremely high and offered the utmost service. The staff were so pleasant and answered all of our questions about the courses. As we said numerous times throughout the evening, "We wish we could eat here every night!"

Great food, great service, wouldn't change a thing!

Fantastic experience from when you walk in the door .. great service and food is absolutely amazing and so beautifully presented!!!

Professional and knowledgable staff. Food is beautiful, venison is awesome

A world class dining and service experience, the warm atmosphere with the open fire and accompanying music created a perfect dining experience.

THE BUNKER. OUTSTANDING RIGHT ACROSS THE BOARD.

It was my second time dinne in The Bunker. Very thing is wonderful. Highly recommend everyone who look for a good resturant in Queenstown.

Amazing dinner! My partner and i were on the tasting menu with wine pairings and it was perfect. Definitely the best dining experience we’ve had in queenstown so far!

The bunker was a beautiful experience especially for date night , the cozy yet classy atmosphere was an Awsome surprise.
The food was on another level altogether and the staff where equally as Important to the experience for me , they where super welcoming and there knowledge of the food helped us appreciate it even more.
Beautiful local ingredients and bespoke New Zealand meats where exciting and new to our pallets.
Would recommend a thousands times over.

Thanks guys

Dined at bunker for my partners birthday last week. The food and service was faultless! We went for the taste of the south menu, highly recommend. Each course was a good size and meant we got to try a variety of food. The service was great and the waiters were very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend

Really nice. Delicious food and excellent service. Will be back

Bunker was brilliant! The waiters and waitresses were relaxed and friendly whilst also knowing the menu inside out. They made every effort to make our visit comfortable, and to ensure we had a great night. The food was incredible with lots of flavours complimenting each other perfectly, and the portion sizes were spot on. Can’t recommend Bunker enough!

Excellent service and delicious food!!

Food and service was top notch! Would definately return again.

Exceptional! Such a special night

Third time dining at Bunker, third time ordering the 7 course menu. The highlight was definitely the venison - so tender and tasty! And the deconstructed pavlova dessert was very fun to eat. Thanks for a consistently delicious meal.

Good food and wine. Really enjoyed it.

Pure class
The experience of Dining at the Bunker is above and beyond. Exceptional service in a luxurious and cozy environment. Highly recommended

We had a great experience at The Bunker, the food was delightful and the service was amazing, shout out to the waiter who served us, he was really friendly and had an eye open for every single detail.

Everything was perfect. The food tastes amazing and the presentation is pretty. all the staff member are above expectations. Loved it!

Special day with surprising my “ best part of my life” with dining at “ The Bunker”.
Took me a year to finally get a table but all I can say : „ deliciously mouthwatering and well presented menu a la carte “ and so worth it for a dining visit. Knowledgde staff makes that experience even more enjoyable. Brilliant guys .

I have been living in Queenstown for 9 years and I dont know why I had wasted my time going to other places. The Bunker is so far THE BEST restaurant in Queenstown. Delicious food, beatiful presentation and great service! Want to go back tomorrow!!

Best food in town, amazing service too. We didn’t want to leave!

Wow 5 star's Amazing experience we will be back next time we are in Queenstown.

Had an incredible experience at Bunker, the service could not have been more attentive or knowledgeable. The food was amazing, trying the 7 course menu enabled us to try multiple dishes we may not have chosen for ourselves and every course was delicious. Would have no doubts in recommending to anyone.

Amazing food
Best serve
Warm fire place
We came in the second time

Absolutely loved it! Beautiful delicious food, a really intimate dining space. It was amazing, will be back!
