Lovely food nice place
Great service and amazing food!
The staff very polite and the view of the lake and mountains was excellent. Unfortunately the lamb that I ordered was extremely blue. (Raw). Should have been medium rare, this resulted in it being a bit chewy.
If you’re in Queenstown and want to eat something tasty while soaking up lake views that look straight out of a postcard, Public Kitchen & Bar is a solid bet. It’s one of those shared-plate, order-a-bunch-of-things-and-hope-your-friends-don’t-eat-it-all kind of places. The vibe is laid-back but classy—perfect for a chilled dinner after a day of adventuring or pretending to hike

Skilled attentive wait staff know menu helpful!
After a day’s hiking, hungry and tired we asked for waiter’s recommendation and so ordered tasty and filling veal dish and spaghetti bolognese. Both of us were very pleased with the exquisite meals and grateful of the waiter’s knowledge of menu. A family arrived and in an anticipatory gesture staff brought a jar of colouring in pencils and activities to the table for kids at the next table. Stunning vista of lake and mountains as restaurant if on the lakefront and we watched Earnslaw boat dock then depart too. Calming ambience and music. Highly recommended. Thankyou chefs and staff!
