Queenstown is a small but mighty tourist town in the South Island, jam-packed full of delicious eateries and foodie hot spots to fill your trip (and you up too). Known as the adventure capital of New Zealand, you're going to need some good fuel to pair with your daily doses of adrenalin (perhaps afterwards though). Here are eight of my top picks that undoubtedly will become your return-visit faves too. Fergburger View this post on Instagram A post shared by Fergburger Queenstown (@fergburger_queenstown) on Mar 31, 2018 at 5:16pm PDT The most popular burger-joint in New Zealand, Fergburger should be on everyone's hit list when in Queenstown. During peak hours, the line can be halfway down the street but it's always 100% worth the wait. They consistently serve the most mouth-watering burgers and are so in demand, they're open 21 hours a day. Address: 42 Shotover Street, Queenstown. Cookie Bar View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cookie Time (@cookietime.nz) on Jun 19, 2019 at 10:17pm PDT For the ultimate sweet tooth and cookie lover, the Cookie Muncher Cookie Bar is the place to be. They serve up delicious fresh hot cookies (the whole shop smells amazing), raw edible cookie dough and cookie-inspired creations like Cookie Shakes and s'mores. If you're a fan of New Zealand's favourite Cookie Time brand, you can even purchase fun Cookie Muncher merchandise instore. Address: 18 Camp Street, Queenstown. Flame View this post on Instagram A post shared by Flame Bar & Grill (@flamegrillqueenstown) on Nov 1, 2018 at 6:41pm PDT If you're after the mother of all meat fixes, Flame Bar & Grill is your answer. Specialising in steak and ribs with a secret South African BBQ recipe, their meat is always cooked to perfection. Be sure to make a reservation before rocking up to this popular restaurant. Their ribs are the best I've ever had and are melt-in-the-mouth awesome. Address: 61 Beach Street, Queenstown. Balls and Bangles View this post on Instagram A post shared by Balls and Bangles Queenstown (@ballsandbangles) on May 28, 2019 at 11:15pm PDT Opening in 2016, Balls and Bangles is a fun cafe offering indulgent donut balls in multiple flavours, naughty freak shakes and delicious bagels. Whether you have a hankering for something savoury or sweet, they've got you covered. (I particularly love their bacon, egg and avo breakfast bagel). Address: 15 Church Street, Queenstown. Fergbaker View this post on Instagram A post shared by Roro (@ror0roror0ro) on Dec 7, 2016 at 4:17pm PST Right next door to the popular Fergburger, Fergbaker is an incredible bakery offering freshly made breads, flaky pies, sweet slices, pastries and more. If you're a bit #hangry and the line at Fergburger is a tad too long then you won't be disappointed by a Fergbaker pie - they're the best I've ever tried (and they do great coffee too). Address: 40 Shotover Street, Queenstown. Patagonia View this post on Instagram A post shared by Patagonia Chocolates (@patagoniachocolates) on Jul 4, 2018 at 1:57am PDT Queenstown's original chocolate shop, Patagonia Chocolates is a chocaholic's dream. As well as producing the finest hand-made chocolates, they have a coffee roastery and amazing ice cream and sorbets. A chilli hot chocolate to go and a goodie bag of individually picked chocolates is a guilty pleasure of mine every time I visit. Address: 50 Lakefront, Beach St and also at Queenstown Airport. Miss Lucy's View this post on Instagram A post shared by Miss Lucy's Bar & Pizzeria (@misslucys_nz) on Jul 1, 2019 at 2:24am PDT For the best woodfired pizza, brews and views in town, head to the trendy rooftop bar and pizzeria, Miss Lucy's. Situated at the top of JUCY Snooze - an awesome hostel and budget-friendly hotel in the centre of town, Miss Lucy's is an Instagram-lovers dream with a great seasonal menu, amazing decor and epic views over Queenstown. Address: JUCY Snooze Level 4, 47 Camp St, Queenstown. Mrs Ferg View this post on Instagram A post shared by Azucar (@azucar.xx) on Jul 1, 2019 at 5:57pm PDT Last but not least, my favourite place in town for an ice cream fix is Mrs Ferg Gelateria. The third in the Ferg trio chain, it's located directly next to Fergbaker. Like their burgers and baked goods, they have applied their magic-making here and offer a large range of award-winning gelato, sorbet and smoothies. (I highly recommend hazelnut and their salted caramel - soooo good!). Address: 40 Shotover Street, Queenstown. Pin it! :p Do you have any other Queenstown foodie favourites to add to this list? Let me know in the comments below, I'd love to check them out next time! Happy Travels,

Wellington, the coolest little capital of New Zealand, is a haven for foodies, coffee, wine and craft beer lovers. The creative and cultural city is brimming with delicious eateries and foodie hot spots, with a diverse range of cuisine choices. There are countless amazing places to choose from, but as a Wellingtonian I've narrowed down fifteen of my personal faves that I regularly frequent and highly recommend for a memorable foodie experience in the capital city. La Bella Italia If you love authentic Italian cuisine then don't miss Bella Italia in Petone. It has been awarded one of the 70 best Pizzerias in the World, and it's the only Italian restaurant I've been to outside of Italy that is just as delicious and amazing. It's my husband and I's favourite restaurant in Wellington and we love their pasta dishes (especially the lasagne and risotto), but nowadays we usually opt for their rustica calzone (pictured) to share and then indulge in a gelato or tiramisu for dessert. They also sell many imported pastas, pantry items, fresh deli, cheeses, baked goods and desserts, it's basically an Italian haven. Location: 10 Nevis Street, Petone Fix and Fog View this post on Instagram A post shared by Fix & Fogg (@fixandfogg) Fix and Fog is a bit of a hidden gem, but totally worth going on the hunt for. You can find their window down the Leeds Street laneway, and to the side on Eva Street. Famously known as the best nut butter in the world (and made right here in Wellington), they serve up extraordinary slices of peanut butter themed toast, granola, porridge, smoothies and more. If you like your peanut butter - it's a must-try! Location: 5 Eva Street, Wellington CBD Egmont Street Eatery Egmont Street Eatery is an all-rounder, great for a hearty weekend brunch, a special dinner or after-work drink hangs. They have a modern, trendy vibe, a seasonal menu and do great coffee too. Location: 11 Egmont Street, Wellington CBD Gorilla Burger If you're craving an epic burger, look no further than Gorilla Burger. Their Leeds Street location is right next to Fortune Favours Brewery and is perfect to grab after a pint (or three). Whether you're wanting a giant feast of a burger or something vegan, their menu will impress. Location: 7 Leeds Street, Wellington CBD and 19 Park Road, Miramar Fidel's Cafe View this post on Instagram A post shared by Fidels Cafe (@fidels_cafe) Fidel's is an iconic Wellington cafe known for its Cuban coffee, homestyle eats, midday brunches and late-night rums. Located on upper Cuba Street, it oozes Bohemian vibes and Kiwi hospitality. Don't miss their famous snickers milkshake! Location: 234 Cuba Street, Wellington CBD Duck Island Ice Cream For the best ice cream in Wellington, head to Duck Island on Cuba Street. It's the popular New Zealand brand's latest location. There have 24 incredible flavours to choose from and don't be surprised if there's a line snaking all the way out of the door. (The peanut butter cookie flavour is the bomb!). Location: 168 Cuba Street, Wellington CBD Chocolate Fish Cafe Chocolate Fish Cafe is a Wellington favourite, with the perfect waterfront spot. It's located in Shelly Bay, close to the Wellington Airport and only a 15-minute drive from the CBD. It's a great place for lunch on a sunny day, with an abundance of outdoor seating and great views of the Wellington harbour. Location: 100 Shelly Bay Road, Shelly Bay Logan Brown View this post on Instagram A post shared by Logan Brown Restaurant & Bar (@loganbrownrestaurant) For a special occasion or those who don't mind a splurge, Logan Brown is a popular choice for a memorable foodie experience. The fine-dining establishment is one of Wellington's top-awarded restaurants. I highly recommend the Saturday night Degustation Menu with either the five or seven-course menu with the wine pairing. It's a meal you soon won't forget. Location: 192 Cuba Street, Wellington CBD Leeds Street Bakery Small but popular, Leeds Street Bakery are famous for their epic salted caramel cookies, which are a must-try in Wellington. They also do great coffee, bake organic sourdough bread, amazing pies, and other delicious baked goods. Location: 14 Leeds Street, Wellington CBD Floriditas View this post on Instagram A post shared by Floriditas (@floriditas) Another great cafe and restaurant is Floriditas on Cuba Street. They have a fresh seasonal menu and are famous for their incredible brunches and beautiful healthy salads. Location: 161 Cuba Street, Wellington CBD Hot Sauce Hot Sauce serves up high-quality food and unique cocktails with an Asian flair. They have an incredible decor, and do delicious baos, dumplings, popcorn chicken and more. Location: 90 Cable Street, Wellington CBD Little Penang View this post on Instagram A post shared by Little Penang (@littlepenangnz) on Jan 20, 2019 at 12:29pm PST For something more on the budget-friendly side, Little Penang is a Wellington favourite, serving up tasty and authentic Malaysian dishes. Their mee goreng, char koay teow and classic curries with roti are my go-to faves. Location: 175 Victoria Street and 44 The Terrace, Wellington CBD Havana Bar Havana Bar is known as a popular venue for a drink, with fun live music and trendy cocktails, but the food is outrageously good too. Located in two historic cottages, the Cuban-themed bar and restaurant have stellar menus for lunch, dinner, tapas and brunch. Location: 34 Wigan Street, Wellington CBD Seashore Cabaret View this post on Instagram A post shared by Seashore Cabaret (@seashorecabaret) Seashore Cabaret is a popular cafe on Petone foreshore with great waterfront views. They are famous for their epic thickshakes and do amazing pancakes, bagels and hearty full breakfasts. Location: 160 The Esplanade, Petone Dragons For the best Yum Cha in Wellington, head to Dragons restaurant on Tory Street. It's fast-paced, and they serve high-quality and authentic Cantonese food. They're extremely popular for lunch on the weekends so be sure to book in advance. If they are fully booked, I highly recommend Regal on Courtenay Place as well. Location: 25 Tory Street, Wellington CBD A few extra bonus faves: Favourite Vietnamese food: Restaurant 88, Where's Charlie? Favourite place for a takeaway coffee: Cafe L'affare Favourite fish & chips: Mt Vic Chippery Favourite bakeries: Gramercy, Goods Cafe, Bordeaux Favourite places for a cocktail: The Library, Dragonfly, Foxglove, Havana Bar Favourite Indian food: Great India Favourite for High Tea: Hippopotamus Favourite places for a beer: Fortune Favours, LBQ, Southern Cross, Panhead, Meow Of course, there are probably a hundred more amazing restaurants and eateries in Wellington, these are just my personal favourites that I highly recommend. Do you have any of your own faves to add to this list? Let me know in the comments below, I'd love to read them and check them out! Happy Eating,
