Discovering Queenstown: Takeaways

Queenstown is an amazing dining destination.  For a small township, it packs a punch for the share quantity of eateries and takeaways that are accessible.  And the most enticing thing, is the share spectrum of international flavours that you can eat!

Discovering Queenstown:  Takeaways

From a broad range of South American flavours to European and Asian, discovering Queenstown and the Takeaways choices available have will keep you coming back for more every night!

We weren't 100% sure how to attack this post.  There is so much to say in and around dining in Queenstown that we could write screens and screens of information about where to eat, and the best meals etc etc.  But lets just get straight to the point - Where would we go for great takeaways?

Generally, when we think about how we're feeling and what we'd like to eat, we think country and flavour - something spicy... think Asian and possibly Mexican, think a curry and we automatically think Indian.  Want carbs?  Grab a pizza.  

So, we have written a post about our Top 10 takeaways - and for the most part it's still relevant...  but here's the thing, let's explore the where and how rather than the what.

Where

Takeaways in Queenstown are widely available, with Shotover Street being the central hub. Additional spots can be found on Church Street and Seale Lane. Many local cafés also provide sandwiches and snacks for takeaway, offering plenty of convenient options throughout the town.

For those living from Frankton through to Arrowtown, or south towards Kingston, then The Remarkables or 5Mile are jam packed with eating options too.  

How

Kiwis are pretty good at tech and you should be able to easily order online for pick up or delivery. To start with, YES, we have UberEats who will pick and deliver to our apartments, so if you head over to their site you'll be able to order and organise that pretty simply.  At last count, there were over 135 listed food stores for you to choose from!  And the fee can be as little as 99c for deliver to our apartments!  So a super great option!

If you head into town and want to eat out, then grab your choice of takeaways and head either down to the bay and sit on the beach wall (or the beach itself), or into the Queenstown Gardens and sit on the grass - both are totally normal behaviours by Kiwis!  In fact on a warm summer evening you'll have to get your food and find a spot in plenty of time as its a time honoured tradition to grab takeaways and have a picnic - so expect to make new friends!
