Premium New Zealand beef and seafood on the Queenstown lakefront — the city's go-to for carnivores wanting the best the country's farms can produce.
Why It Belongs on the List
With windows looking directly over Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables, Botswana Butchery focuses on New Zealand's extraordinary beef and lamb alongside an impressive seafood selection. Aged prime cuts, a serious wine cellar, and a buzzy atmosphere make this one of Queenstown's most thoroughly excellent restaurants. The lakefront setting at golden hour is hard to beat.
