I love KIMCHI

About

When in South Island, I love KIMCHI is the local business that brings the fermented vegetable dish at the heart of its name to 54 Shotover Street, Queenstown 9300, Nueva Zelanda. The restaurant sits in the heart of Queenstown, one of the island's most visited towns, and its name signals the dish at the centre of its menu.

I love KIMCHI is known for the dish its name celebrates, with kimchi as the signature element that gives the restaurant its identity. First-time visitors should expect a casual restaurant setting focused on the dish rather than a fine-dining room. A rating of 4.3 out of 5, drawn from 1764 reviews, places it among the more reviewed restaurants in Queenstown, and that volume of feedback reflects steady local and visitor trade. The restaurant also sits close to Wanaka, one of the nearby towns in the region.

The restaurant's website, http://www.ilovekimchi.co.nz/, carries its menu and contact details. A set of five photographs offers a look at the restaurant ahead of a visit. The address 54 Shotover Street, Queenstown 9300, Nueva Zelanda is the point to give to a driver.

South Island has a temperate climate, and summer from December to February draws the most visitors, while winter stays mild at low altitudes. Food in New Zealand is built around fresh seafood, lamb, dairy and local wines, so the restaurant's cooking sits alongside a strong local produce tradition. Domestic flights and ferries connect the islands, making Queenstown reachable from Christchurch, Dunedin and Nelson. English and Māori are the two languages most widely used here, and picking up a few words of te reo makes everyday exchanges easier.
