Book NowAbout odd saint
Tucked next to a historic Earl Street church, Odd Saint serves Queenstown's most playful, globally inspired morning kai. Forget timid eggs on toast—the kitchen turns out duck chilaquiles, crispy potato-packed corned beef hash, and fried chicken over matcha waffles. Regulars swear by the banana bread, an order so reliable it turns first-timers into multi-day repeaters. Mid-morning kicks up with cocktail specials from 10:00 AM, pouring limoncello spritzes and bloody marys straight into the breezy courtyard. Even when the morning rush peaks, the floor crew seats the queue fast, pairing strong black coffees with warm, genuine hospitality.

David Hicks Swift Seating Despite Peak Demand
Even when the restaurant is packed with visitors on weekend mornings, swift front-of-house coordination ensures parties are seated within 5 to 15 minutes.
It was a Saturday morning so it was busy but we waited not more than 15 mins and were able to be seated. Big shout out to the reception staff who worked very hard to accommodate everyone and seat everyone as quickly as possible.
Anthony Pan Effortless Turnaround for Groups and Travelers
Accommodating hosts effortlessly seat larger parties and busy travelers with luggage, getting hot dishes and drinks to the table in under ten minutes.
We had a group of 8 and got in and seated within 15 minutes. The coffee and food were both excellent.
Donny Graham Heated Courtyard Dining in Any Season
The spacious exterior courtyard features effective outdoor heaters, creating a warm, vibrant alfresco dining space even during chilly alpine mornings.
The restaurant itself was decorated lovely and the outdoor space was lovely even on a chilly day!
Hannah Joy Cozy, Upbeat Daytime Ambiance
An inviting atmosphere complete with soft upbeat music and stylish decor makes the cafe a relaxed setting for morning coffee or relaxed mid-day brunch.
Loved the atomsphere and soft upbeat music also. Perfect for couples and small groups.
