Podium Restaurant and Bar sits on the first level of Sudima Queenstown Five Mile, yet it operates as a bookable dining room for hotel guests and local visitors alike. Its outdoor mezzanine looks towards the surrounding mountains, adding a sense of space to breakfast or dinner. The Frankton location also makes it a practical stop near the airport and Five Mile shops.

Breakfast balances lighter bowls with substantial cooked plates. A smoothie bowl combines house granola, seasonal fruit and coconut yoghurt, while poached egg, avocado and potato rosti offer a savoury vegetarian start. The menu then builds through a breakfast burrito, chilli scrambled eggs with chorizo and smoked feta, and a full Podium breakfast with bacon, sausage, eggs, beans, mushrooms and rosti.

Dinner begins with small plates that travel widely without losing focus: flatbreads, beetroot with whipped ricotta, goat-cheese croquettes, chilli-salt squid, fried chicken and honey-soy pork bites. Main courses are equally varied, moving from vegan soba ramen and a halloumi burger to market fish, miso-glazed Akaroa salmon, prawn-and-chorizo linguine, gochujang chicken, sirloin and crisp pork belly.

Dessert can be as comforting as churros with chocolate and salted-caramel ice cream or sticky date pudding, while fruit sorbet provides a vegan and gluten-free finish. Vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free possibilities are marked throughout the menus. Coffee, tea and a stocked bar round out a restaurant that works across early starts, evening meals and relaxed drinks with a view.
