Yonder

Slip past the arched Church Street walkway into Yonder, where morning flat whites and fireside shared plates anchor Queenstown’s liveliest dining room. Daytime belongs to generous plates—think Turkish eggs, mushroom and pumpkin baps, and vegan pancakes—matched with serious espresso pulls that take Australian regulars straight back home. Mixed groups breathe easy here: the kitchen swaps gluten-free sides and handles distinct dietary needs on the fly without cutting down the portion sizes. Outside, the terrace counters mountain breezes with roaring patio heaters and guest blankets; indoors, two open hearths set a relaxed evening tempo for cocktails, croquettes, and tagine. The bar even turns out a peppery Bloody Mary with serious savory depth.
