Vknow Restaurant and Wine Bar

V KNOW why this place is so great Tonight we decided to eat at a local restaurant just down the road from where we were staying. I absolutely loved this cute family Restarant. The lovely lady who owns it started her food journey and love for food at the age of 10 when she had to start cooking for her family and dad, when her mum would go to work. At a young age she worked at various restaurants around NZ and at 18, she worked at a well established French restaurant where you had to dress up as French maids and cook and flambé food in front of guests. She learned many skills there. Eventually she opened her own restaurant, & has owned V know for 16 years. I had a beautiful mushroom & truffle risotto for my entree, the local blue cod on sautéd potatoes with salad for mains, & the most amazing sweet treat called Yukkies which only cost $3. It was a chocolate truffle heaven ball that had a firm outer layer, & a smooth moussey, ice cream like centre that also was soaked in local pinot noir and local cherries. OMGGG I will take 10 please I absolutely adore supporting local business like this. They were all so lovely, & had a beautiful energy Highly recommend it. Great value for money, great wine list and food cooked from the heart with love

They cooked up a great appetizer from my red stag back strap that I brought in. Main entrees were cooked to perfection. Wine selection was very robust and matched well with our meals. If you want great food with no crowds this is the place.

Delicious warm spicy tomatoes soup. Seafood bowl is amazing but hoping they will put more prawns and breads. The waiter also very helpful and cares about your needs.

Had three courses and the waitress advised us of a wine choice within our budget which was excellent. Extremely happy with the food and the service, the service did slow down a bit as it got a little busier but that did not deter from the experience. Would visit again in a heartbeat.

Fine dining quality in a friendly neighborhood restaurant. .... A couple of weeks later - the coconut parfait ... Yummy!

They gave us a table despite not having a reservation which was really good of them as they had a function. I ordered the Pork Belly which i thought was a snack when it arrived. Having said that though, it was well presented and tasted 7 out of 10 compared with other pork bellies I enjoyed. The wine list is generous and staff are very friendly. A good experience and child friendly.

One of the best restaurants in Queenstown, which serves homemade Italian style food. Delicious that how I would describe their dishes! We had couple of dinners in there, so I was lucky enough to try different dishes and mushroom risotto with wild venison was my favourite! The last but not least, it's service and atmosphere, it's very quiet and relaxed with no rush and stress, friendly and very open staff which makes you feel like you are regular customer.

Love this place! With the delightful Jessie to greet you at the door aka the resident 2 year old border collie who paws at your legs in welcome and walks you to the door of the restaurant the evening has begun. We had a wonderful meal here. Great relaxed local restaurant with excellent quality food at a very reasonable price. The fish of the day was a winner. Desserts were excellent - note the crumble. We ran out of time but would have gone for a second visit if we could. A must when in Queenstown

This place is amazing! The pizzas are fantastic & the gluten free base is thin & crispy and delicious!, the lamb shanks are a favorite and the yukkies are worth popping in for just for dessert. They do takeaway too. And Danny the host is fabulous and really knows his wine & does generous pours. Fernhill is incredibly fortunate to have such a wonderful restaurant with such great food and good prices

Food was absolutely fantastic. The service and atmosphere very friendly and welcoming and we enjoyed every minute of that homey vibe. Wine list is great and everything is reasonably priced. I was sceptic at the beginning about the menu - Italian, Greek, French and oriental fusion but everything we tried was fantastic and makes sense. I like to return to places where the food tastes like meal at home and where I can feel cozy so you will definitely see me on my next visit to NZ you already had us twice in less than 24h And on the fun side... I don't remember the toilet at any place that would keep me entertained for so long. If you go to Vknow you must visit the toilet. The posters are hilarious Thanks guys for a great time. I will highly recommend the place to anyone who visits Queenstown. I tried to visit most of good restaurants around Queenstown on our short trip and Vknow Restaurant is definitely our favorite one.
