Fergburger
Queenstown's most famous burger joint, where huge, juicy beef burgers draw long queues year round. It is practically a must-visit stop for travellers.
Fergburger is on Shotover Street in the town centre. It opened in 2001 and is known for oversized burgers, freshly baked buns and a range of meats (beef, lamb, venison, pork belly and more). Its signature Fergburger costs from about NZD 17. It stays open late, and queues often exceed half an hour, so you can order ahead by phone or go late at night to avoid the crowds. The sister bakery next door, Fergbaker, sells pies and desserts, and Mrs Ferg sells Italian ice cream. There are few seats inside, so take your food to the lakeside or the wharf to eat.
Opening hours
