Cheese and charcuterie board with bread, olives and chutney at Little Blackwood

Little Blackwood sits at the water's edge on Queenstown's Steamer Wharf, using the view across Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables as a central part of the experience. The heated deck is made for sunset drinks, while the interior brings handcrafted blackwood furniture together with a fireplace and live music. It is unmistakably a cocktail bar, but the evening food menu is developed enough to make grazing or pizza a meaningful part of the visit.

The cheese and meat boards give the venue its strongest local accent. Diners build a platter from Gibbston Valley cheeses such as garlic and chive gouda, Glenroy cheddar, chilli havarti and Wakatipu white brie, then add Zamora cured meats including smoked coppa, Fiordland venison salami and fennel crusted pork loin. Honeycomb, grapes, olives, crackers, compote and seasonal jam turn those selections into a complete board rather than a bare bar snack.

Pizza provides the more substantial route through the menu. The Margherita combines San Marzano tomato, fior di latte, yuzu oil and Thai basil, while Hot Bells adds spicy salami, hot honey and chilli. Mushroom and truffle offers a richer meat-free direction, and the Capricciosa layers ham with artichokes, capers and olives. Gluten free bases and vegan pizza options are available, extending the usefulness of the menu for mixed groups.

Share plates keep the kitchen aligned with the social rhythm of the room: karaage chicken comes with house-made tonkatsu sauce, slow roasted pork belly is matched with Korean spice and Asian slaw, and shoestring fries keep things simple. Cocktails remain the headline, joined by Gibbston Valley wine and New Zealand craft beer, so Little Blackwood works best when the table treats food and drinks as one leisurely waterfront occasion.
