Tags: , ,

You may have heard of the famous little town that is Queentown. Residing at the Southern end of the South Island and resting on the shores of Lake Wakatipu it is a paradise to many.

Mostly known as the Adventure Capital of the world and a perfect base for winter, it is also home to a number of delicious treats, wholesome goodness, massive burgers and really good coffee! 

It really is a foodies heaven! Follow on to see what you need to try when you visit this incredible place!

Ferg burger

Ferg Burger

Now this place is so famous that you may have already heard about it before you have even stepped foot in New Zealand. The one of a kind (not a franchise), one and only ferg burger. It all starts with the size of the burger alone! these bad boys are literally the size of my face! They are HUGE! I wouldn't even recommend getting fries (although they are delicious! and so are the onion rings!) because the burger alone is enough to satisfy. So the main question that goes around is what is it that makes these burgers so good, surely a burger is just a burger right? wrong! Ferg Burger have taken every aspect about what makes a burger good, pulled them all together and boomfa! Come up with this incredible creation, feeding the people of Queenstown since the year 2000. An example of the menu; Chief Wiggum - pork belly, crackling, hash brown, Apple saucey goodness and salad - My favourite! Cock-a-doodle-oink - butterfly crumbed chicken breast with bacon and avocado! Little Bambi - Venison patty with plum chutney, salady greens and delictable sauces! just to name a few, and they also cater for the vege and the gluten free. Winner
