Soda is a dazzling Venue on the Queenstown Lakefront that offers a bustling atmosphere and full-flavoured dishes with modern interpretations of Mediterranean inspired cuisine with fresh NZ produce.
The flavours are big; the energy is high, and the pace is upbeat. SODA's menu is full flavoured and does the simple things really well. With modern interpretations of Mediterranean inspired cuisine with fresh NZ produce, the SODA food experience is designed to share, with a lovely mix of antipasti to start, followed by a mix of small and larger plates. Of course, each and every plate is a work of art. Our brand-new solid fuel grill is a wonderful piece of equipment to cook food with magical woodfired flavours.
