Botswana Butchery - Queenstown Nz

the t-bone beef was AMAZING! so flavourful, perfectly cooked & tender. this restaurant is on the pricier side, but 100% worth it as a treat!! the soups were amazing & the clam chowder’s seafood ingredients were SO fresh. both the clam chowder & mushroom soup were rly creamy as well! do go for the duck-fat potatoes if you want to opt for any sides! the scallops were also very fresh and buttery. howeverrr, i think you can give the whitebait a miss…… it just tasted like a simple omelette. service was also amazing :).

Beautiful atmosphere, amazing food and really great service, it’s an experience coming to Botswana Butchery. The menu has an abundant selection of delicious food to choose from, there is something for everyone and especially so if you are a meat eater. For starters we had the bone marrow and the tuna tataki….my husband was very impressed with the bone marrow and the quality of the tuna in the tataki was very high. For mains we had the half duck and the wagyu eye fillet. The half duck was so delicious and cooked to perfection. The eye fillet also was cooked beautifully. The only small thing which I didn’t like are the prices of the wine. They have an amazing selection yes, but prices were insane. I know how much I can buy these for and a 300% mark up is crazy. Other than that, we had a great experience- just be prepared that it will be pricey.

Came here about 2 times. Absolutely loved our dining experience here. Food, service, and atmosphere were amazing. Sherie (hope I got your name right) was the friendliest/warmest host and actually explained to us the menu and followed up with thoughtful wine suggestions. I highly highly recommend eating here. Everything from their steaks to seafood were top drawer. Will be back for sure.

Couldn't be happier after dining here at Botswana Butchery. My partner & I are visiting celebrating our engagement and we were not disappointed! The food was delightful. The waitress we had was friendly and so attentive! We even got a complimentary dessert which made our day! Was seeking a quality steak all week long and I finally found it! This is the place to go to for sure!!!

Great dining experience on a cold, snowy day. Beautifully cooked whole NZ lamb shoulder served with absolutely perfect duck fat potatoes - crispy on the outside, soft in the middle and hot. We ordered the seasonal vegetables which was asparagus with hollandaise sauce; again, very tasty. The slow cooked lamb was served on a warmed plate accompanied by a nice jus and mint jelly on the side. Able to carve it with a spoon - cooked to perfection. Staff were great, the experience exceeded our expectations.

The truth is, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. My best friend booked this restaurant, a couple of months ago. My God, the food, the food, the food! we had a great selection of entrees (the octopus is to die for). For mains, I had the Wagyu, medium and it was phenomenally cooked. For dessert, I had the pudding, and I could taste the apricots. In terms of atmosphere, it felt like I was in France. Very rustic, very old school, but felt like I was a king, if you have an opportunity to eat here, do it!

This was a fantastic dining experience. We were running 20 minutes late due to traffic and they still accommodated us! We got to sit next to the kitchen which at first was a little noisy but then actually impressed us with the level of professionalism. We also got to preview food before making choices : ). Next time I would request the private dining spaces upstairs if you have a group and I recommend booking ahead of time. The food, whilst slightly pricey, is worth it and I would go again in a heartbeat. We tried the fish, lamb and deer dishes and some sides. All meat was excellently cooked. Pictured is the atlanic scallop entree and the red deer main. Thanks to the team on tonight for such a great food experience.
