Definitely Blue Kanu is one of a kind! I highly recommend their "feed me" option. Every dish we had was beautiful, well-presented, generous portion and delicious. Flawless dining experience. Well done Blue Kanu! 🎉
Came here on 10 June. Really great service but done in a relaxed Kiwi fashion. Felt really looked after. Food was amazing. We were happy with every dish. We ordered the salmon poke, crispy shrimp and mussels. Yum! �
As usual the service and food at Blue Kanu was amazing! Last night was my second time visiting Blue Kanu and I will definitely be back.
We were welcomed as soon as we arrived from a gentleman behind the bar who I only assume is the owner. Super friendly and lovely.
Our waiter was fantastic and very helpful. All three dishes we had were amazing but the Duck Nachos were by far the stand out. Incredible!
First time eating Pacific food and it was amazing. The fish was fresh. And the food was scrumptious. Definitely worth adding to your Queenstown experience. Also the staff is friendly and accommodating.
We visited Blue Kanu after our hotel highly recommended it and were not at all disappointed.
We had the goat rendang steamed bun, tahitian prawn curry and black sesame ice cream. The food was exceptional and full of flavour. We would definitely dine here on our next visit to Queenstown.
This restaurant is a must go to in Queenstown !!!!

If you like Asian fusion food, you don't have to go further than Blue Kanu 😅 I don't believe anything on the menu is traditional to any Asian culture haha but it was definitely an interesting experiencing.
Because we couldn't quite decided what we wanted, we went with the Feed Me menu for 5 people
LOVE:
🔸The variety we got within the 4 courses (4 courses doesn't necessarily mean only 4 dishes)
🔸Really fresh seafood, really enjoyed the kokoda, don't think I've ever tried it before
🔸A lot of freshness in the dishes as most of them has a fresh fruit salad/salsa along with it like mango or pineapple
🔸The Kung Pao duck nachos were one of my favourite dishes of the evening, it was definitely a little bit different with duck and mango jam and whipped goat cheese, and despite me not being a fan of goat cheese usually, loved the flavour combination
🔸Each dish was sizeable for each person try a good amount
LIKE:
🔸Enjoyed that there was 3 mains, including a vegetable dish too so we weren't just bombarded with meat but I wish not every dish was spicy
🔸The Lava Flow cocktail was a tasty strawberry pina colada
FEEDBACK:
🔹Liked that we got to try a few different types of dessert however nothing really stood out, they were mostly enjoyable though
We have been in Queenstown 5 nights and eaten here twice. Enough said. Delicious, creative and fun food. Fabulously fabulous staff who are friendly, attentive and fun. Great dishes for sharing - our 2nd visit saw us reordering our favourite things...the goat rendang steamed bun and the Fijian(?) fish in the starters. So good! Also a high recommendation for the bread, salmon poke, duck nachos and the pineapple upside down cake (although the macadamia cookie was too hard to eat with the rest of the dessert!). Enjoyed the flavour and the prawn toast that came with the mussels, but decided I’m not a fan of green lipped mussels! The massaman curry was also a hit. And the lychee martini...!!
In short...go here to enjoy a great night and delicious food!!
Exceptional service from staff, atmosphere was great, kiwi rnb music playing 😍 as for the food, phenomenal. Couldn’t fault the food.
Ordered the Rewana bread, shrimp starter, braised beef cheek and the Tahitian pork belly for two. More than enough food and had to get a doggy bag.
Will definitely return when I’m back in town!
Decided to visit here on our last stay in Queenstown as this place had amazing reviews on TripAdvisor and Zomato! It definitely did no disappoint.
We arrived early to our reservation, but we were seated immediately and the staff were amazing, attentive and helpful!
The food was also exceptional, and the atomosphere was also incredible! We were so pleased we visited this place as it was a great way to end the trip!!
Highly recommend this place!!!
We celebrated my birthday here last week and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The ambience is unique and the staff are friendly. The portions are generous. We got the pork ribs, duck nacho, lamb curry, and pineapple cake which were all delicious. The shrimp was alright. Overall we had a great time!
I was excited to dine here after noticing this restaurant trumped others in TripAdvisor.
Came here without a booking and was seated immediately, so depending on your group size you can get away without a booking.
The menu is designed for sharing, the dishes were decent sizes! Really enjoyed the venison tartare that was highly recommended by the waitress, well balanced and the kimchi is a nice pairing.
Another recommendation was the jungle style lamb, this dish didn’t come with rice so I would highly recommend getting rice with this dish. It’s a delicious curry dish but got a little too rich, some rice would have balanced this out very well.
Staff are attentive and very accommodating. I appreciate the recommendation provided. Considering the portion sizes and quality of food, it is on the pricey side but it’s justified.
Next time I’m in Queenstown, I will consider coming back and sampling more from the menu.
Very intrigued by “trust the chef” option, which will be my next option to try!
Delicious evening eatery with really lovely pacific Asian fusion! The menu is very exciting and we took a long time to decide. We ordered the golden shrimp a tasty number with togashi season, the sticky pork ribs that had us licking our fingers clean and the tender goat rendang bun. I would have liked the rendang to be more saucier but the bun was made very well to compliment. We added the venison tartare, light and had an interesting Korean kick, as well as the wok fried greens that were perhaps a bit less overwhelming than the rest. Ended the night with upside down pineapple cake, yummy moist cake and coconut pannacotta which was too sweet for me but my boyfriend liked it a lot! Overall amazing experience, lovely waitress and exceptional service. Can not wait to visit again!
Spent my birthday here last year and they were very nice and accommodating. They even gave me a free glass of wine upon arrival and greeted me happy birthday. I did not wait for too long and they did not put me in the corner either just because I was dining alone. Staff came and checked if everything was okay on and off but not to the point of annoying me. 😄 Their food was really tasty. I couldn't fault it. I am going there in July and I would definitely go back there again. Thank you, guys for making my birthday special.
Amazing food flavour and the staff was so lovely! We were seated outside (as we didn’t book) but in the Sun it was such a perfect place to sit and relax with view of the water. Loved it here and hope to visit again! Their dishes are definitely mid-to high priced so worth the experience and loved the Polynesian fusion
Ordered the pork belly, Fijian market fish and prawn/scallop toast.
The prawn and scallop on toast is tiny and not worth ordering again.
The other 2 dishes were great, which is something I rarely use to describe Asian fusion.
Went for dinner with my husband when we were visiting Queenstown, we ordered the dumplings and the lamb curry to share! Both were good and flavourful, although the curry is quite heavy so it can get a bit overwhelming towards the end, as it did for both of us. Service was great and we would have loved to try more things on the menu if we had a larger group.
Food quality was definitely good. Favourite was the Korean fried chicken side. Beef cheeks were extremely tender. Ribs were tender but slightly under in flavour.
Overall food was good, service was excellent as well, will recommend trying if you're in queenstown
Everything is right about Blu Kanu! So Delicious, and atmospheric. The staff were wonderful- love your mahi! I will surely be back again to taste the joy and wash it down with another coconut caipiringa!
First time with family in Queenstown. This restaurant serves great unique fusion cuisines with spices that explode in our mouths. The German waitress was so friendly n genuinely helpful. Will come back again hopefully soon.
Absolutely beautiful kai! This place was fully booked but thought I'd try my luck and was thankfully given a 90minute window before the table was reserved which we only needed half the time. The food came out very fast. The salmon was the best! The flavour with the crispy bits OMG we should have gotten 2 of these plates as my partner ate it too and he doesn't even eat salmon.
The ribs and prawn and scallop toast was delicious as well. The Korean chicken was nice also. Favourite restaurant and food since being here for 5 days. Will definitely be back here when we're on holiday next to try more dishes. Beautiful vibe in here too.
Was recommended to go here as part of my Queenstown trip. It was a really nice Fijian Asian fusion restaurant, great service, food and atmosphere. The portions were nice for sharing too, and pricing not bad. Definitely recommend for the visiting traveller that likes seafood
Delicious Pacific and Asian inspired food, super fresh and light flavours. We only ordered the small plates to share, can definitely recommend the Kokoda, the Oysters and the Korean Fried Chicken. Lively atmosphere and friendly service.
