Arrowtown

Eat & Drink

Arrowtown may be a small town, but we punch above our weight when it comes to dining out. Our restaurants attract some of New Zealand's best chefs and our eateries have won many awards. That's why Arrowtown is fast becoming the South Island's hottest dining destination.

You could eat out for every meal for a week and you still wouldn't have tried every option. Our baristas have some serious skills and the breakfasts break the "full English" mould. It's going to be hard to choose where to have lunch there are so many very different possibilities from café cabinet food to sit-down restaurants to grazing menus. The decision making at dinner isn't any simpler – take your pick from everything from gastropubs to some of the country's most renowned restaurants.

There's a dining option for every mood in Arrowtown. Grab an apéritif at one of our hidden bars. Eat in a garden in summer or beside a roaring fire in winter. Go smart or casual. The choice is yours.
