Amisfield Restaurant has been ranked 99th in The World's 50 Best Restaurants 51-00 for 2025, judged by more than 1000 culinary experts.

The Queenstown restaurant, run by executive chef Vaughan Mabee, was also named third best in the world by United States Food & Wine magazine earlier this year, described as "a beacon for wine enthusiasts worldwide who seek an unparalleled dining experience".

Amisfield owner John Darby says the family has always believed in New Zealand's potential to stand proudly on the world stage when it comes to food and wine.

"For us, creating places that bring people together over exceptional cuisine and landscape has been a deeply personal journey. It's a privilege to help tell the story of what this country can taste and feel like, and to share that with the world."
