Amisfield Restaurant
No.99 World's 50 Best 2025 — elite chef
Veronica's Take
Amisfield Restaurant, nestled on a 200-acre winery just a short drive from Queenstown, New Zealand, offers more than just breathtaking views of Lake Hayes and snow-capped mountains; it delivers a culinary experience that is as refined as its setting is rustic. Chef Vaughan Mabee, a local legend who has been at the helm since 2012, has mastered the art of transforming fresh, locally sourced ingredients—often hunted on the property—into dishes that are elegantly paired with the estate's own exceptional wines. Landing at No.99 on the World's 50 Best list for 2025, Amisfield is a testament to Mabee's dedication to showcasing the best of New Zealand's terroir with a sophisticated touch.
