Tussock Ridge

FernhillQueenstown

8.9

Up the Fernhill switchbacks, a seven-course degustation built on high-country ingredients: merino lamb, wild thyme from the hill it's served on, horopito oil, and a tussock-honey dessert that ends arguments. The room faces the lake and the timing is choreographed to land mains at sunset. It costs what it costs and the drive back down demands a sober driver or a taxi — plan one.
