Like probably 99% of diners we were visitors to Queenstown dining at the Stratosphere. We booked a table an hour before sunset so that we could enjoy the changing light, which exceeded our expectations. Amazing. We didn’t pay the extra for window seats but in my view you don’t really need to. The tiered tables means that every seat has a view, and you can always walk up to the front window if you want to. The food, however, was a surprise. A pleasant one. We did not have high expectations but it and the restaurant were actually pretty good. It’s been there quite a few years but a reasonable effort is clearly paid to keeping it clean and fresh in appearance. The staff were welcoming. The buffet spread delicious. Good quality salmon, tuna. Good cuts of well cooked lamb and beef. Fresh salads. Some good cheese amongst the not so good. Yummy sausages, seasonal dishes, local veggies. And a decent range of tasty desserts. If you go hungry then you’ll surely get your money’s worth. It’s not gourmet fayre but robust fresh and tasty. I’m giving it 4.5 for the location/view, effort to deal with the hordes and still give a pleasant dining experience, and the good range of safe but tasty food.

we had a good trip on the gondola to reach the restaurant. once seated we went to look at the array of food on offer. There were soups, many different starters including prawns and fresh salmon. For mains there were several different meats and vegetables, the desert section was even better. finished off with coffee or tea.

Stunning views from the Stratosfare restaurant looking across Queenstown and the lake, simply beautiful!!! Well worth the money just for the view. The staff were friendly and the food was nice, overall it was worth the combined price of the food and the ride up to the restaurant.

Food was pretty good for a buffet style. There was nothing really special about this restaurant other than the views. At least I learned that Octopus can be cooked differently than how I normally cook it. Otherwise yeah not too bad.
