About Flame Bar & Grill

Right on the Queenstown waterfront, Flame Bar & Grill runs on serious heat without the white-tablecloth pretense. Cabbies routinely point hungry arrivals straight to Steamer Wharf for boards stacked with grilled protein—thick ribeyes, lamb skewers, and sticky pork ribs that slide off the bone. Halal diners are covered on request, with the kitchen firing cuts in separate, dedicated pans. The smart play is the kaimoana: Mozambique prawns bathed in spiced garlic butter with just enough chili to bite back.

  • Wood-Fired Steaks & Meats: Hefty boards of ribeye, charred pork ribs, and smoky lamb skewers, with halal-certified cuts prepped in dedicated separate pans upon request.
  • Mozambique Prawns: Plump prawns simmered in a rich garlic butter sauce with a kick of spice, served alongside rice or piled onto mixed platters.
  • Lively Steamer Wharf Dining: A bustling, energetic waterfront room right on Steamer Wharf, built for milestone dinners and hearty shared feasts.
