Sunfire occupies the ground floor of Steamer Wharf, bringing breakfast, lunch and dinner to Queenstown's lake edge. Indoor tables and outdoor dining make the most of that waterfront setting, while walk-ins and bookings support everything from a quick morning meal to a slower evening with friends. The tone is deliberately casual, but the kitchen's fire-led approach gives the restaurant a clear identity throughout the day.

The Josper oven is central to how Sunfire develops flavour, searing, smoking and grilling over charcoal while keeping ingredients succulent. Applewood-smoked bacon, salmon and tomatoes sit alongside ricotta, labneh, harissa, dressings, sauces and jus made in-house. Care extends to the raw materials, with named New Zealand ingredients including Lumina lamb, aged beef, Bostock organic free-range chicken, Royalburn eggs and Remarkable mushrooms.

Breakfast uses those techniques without losing the comfort of a familiar start. Fire-roasted shakshuka combines spiced tomato, baked eggs, avocado and labneh, while sweetcorn cakes carry poached eggs, smoked tomato and chilli oil. The menu can also lean substantial with a bacon-and-sausage big breakfast or breakfast burger, or lighter through smashed edamame fitness toast, granola and fresh juices; French toast and breakfast cocktails cover a more leisurely mood.

Later menus widen the choice from share plates into seafood, vegetables and charcoal-fired mains. Mozambique prawns, kingfish crudo, burrata and a Chatham Island crayfish roll can begin a meal before mushroom gnocchi, grilled snapper, pork ribs or steak at lunch. Dinner adds harissa lamb skewers, pork belly, Marlborough salmon, duck and aged Josper steaks, allowing the fire theme to remain present without forcing every diner toward the same style of dish.
