Sherwood Restaurant

Set on the edge of Queenstown, this restaurant is part of a larger eco-conscious lodge with views across the Southern Alps. The kitchen follows a seasonal and local ethos, using produce grown on-site or sourced from nearby farms.

The changing menu favours fire-cooked vegetables, grains and proteins, with dishes like wood-roasted cauliflower with tahini or house-made sourdough with cultured butter. Interiors are simple but considered: natural materials, wood-burning stoves, and warm lighting.

Drinks include a measured mix of Central Otago wines and cocktails inspired by herbs and foraged ingredients. Live music and community events round out its role as both dining room and local gathering point.
