ORO means gold in both Spanish and Italian. The name is a tribute to Queenstown’s gold rush in 1864.
Explore the creations of our Executive Chef Thomas Barta who earned Michelin Star experience working in Gordon Ramsay’s kitchen. Chef Barta aims to showcase the extraordinary produce of New Zealand in a golden explosion of flavours. He is assisted by Head Chef Yann Robert, who is renowned for his contemporary French and Asian fusion style of cooking.

Choose from an impressive selection of light lunch dishes or main meals — such as mini crayfish rolls, the ORO club sandwich or our signature Wagyu beef burger — you will want to come back for it again and again.
