Salt and pepper calamari with sliced chilli and black sesame at Boardwalk Restaurant
Want to try Ate here Log a visit List

Boardwalk Restaurant makes its position above Steamer Wharf an essential part of the meal. Broad windows and the first-floor outlook take in Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding mountains, while the relaxed dining room keeps the setting from becoming overly formal. The adjoining Rocks Bar offers another place to settle with a drink. With room for about one hundred guests and scope for functions, the venue can move from an intimate waterfront table to a substantial group occasion.

The opening dishes look naturally toward the lake and coast. Seasonal oysters come raw, beer battered, Kilpatrick-style or as Bloody Mary shooters. King prawns, pan-seared scallops and salt-and-pepper squid offer contrasting textures, while smoked fish cakes and a chowder of market fish, clams, prawns and mussels take a more comforting direction. Slow-cooked beef cheek and a warm roast-vegetable salad ensure the first course does not depend entirely on seafood.

Seafood remains the strongest thread through the main menu. Market fish is paired with crushed potatoes and a creamy leek-and-chive sauce, and whole sole arrives with dill, caper butter and roast potatoes. Prawn linguine, green-lipped mussels and Fiordland crayfish cover pasta, shellfish pot and celebratory centrepiece. The platter for two brings fish, scallops, prawns, oysters, tuna tartare, squid and mussels together for diners who would rather survey the range than choose one species.

The grill gives non-seafood diners equal weight. Grass-fed New Zealand fillet, sirloin and rib eye share potato dauphinoise, crisp onions and a choice of classic sauces. Lamb rump, a stuffed chicken breast and a wild-venison burger broaden the hearty choices, while salads and vegetable sides add balance. Separate gluten-free, vegan and children's provision helps mixed parties order confidently, making Boardwalk as practical for a family dinner as for seafood and drinks with friends.
