the bunker restaurant

on first appearance the bunker is warm and inviting coming in from a fresh winters evening. the maitre d was prompt and quickly took our coats. once seated in theintimatedining room we ordered two mains the snapper with ravioli and the beef served two ways with mustard greens and potatoes. we were informed this was a new menu so to sing out if any questions. matched with wine and beer the meal was pleasant yet not outstanding. the snapper dish was small for the $40 price tag. would expect at least 3 ravioli rather than the minimal 2 served. the beef short rib was slightly dry but the fillet cooked well.

one of my favourite restaurants in queenstown.  not only is the food delicious, has a cosy, yetintimateatmosphere as well as being very affordable for a good fine dining restaurant.

we have visited this place twice and both times we were impressed with the food.

only ever been here after dinner to have few drinks. i read it from an arrival brochure and was excited to hear that it was known for their martinis (inspired by james bond).

ambience was warm and dim, veryintimatewith fireplace and comfy couches. however there are only few available. i was happy sitting by the bar watching the bartenders attentively make our cocktails.

i got the vesper, gin martini with a lemon twist to start off - delicious!!!! perfectly done! also hot bartender helped too.

others we had were a black forest martini, espresso martini and another one which i forgot it's name, but it is served with half a passionfruit lit on fire!!! ask for that, it was a sweet delight.

the menu goes on, and i would have loved to stay on if we could handle it. definitely worth a visit if you didn't want a crazy rowdy night out, but a moreintimatedrink setting :)

i was lucky enough to be taken to this restaurant by my husband for anintimatedinner out and were not disappointed. it delivered everything we expected and so much more.
i had the venison which was melt in the mouth and accompanying vegetables were just amazing and quite enough without ordering an extra side.
my husband had the pork belly and he loved that too..he could virtually cut the pork with the side of the fork..

the service was exceptional and the waiter was professional and friendly all rolled into one. waiter also recommended the type of wine we were after so he knew his stuff.

the brulee and 'pudding' desserts were a perfect finishing touch to the meal.

with only seven tables this is a veryintimaterestaurant.. you would think a roaring open fire in the middle of summer would not work but it does here..!

you need to book, especially on a weekend or friday night due to the limited tables..

food is to die for, service is almost as good..
everything on the menu looks divine and it is as good as it reads. had the pork and my wife had the venison for mains, beautifully cooked and presented and you don't need additional sides as after three courses you walk out full but not stuffed..
service is very attentive and super friendly which makes a nice change.

if there is a down side it would be the restrooms, they are an after thought..
