About
Pedro's House of Lamb on Gorge Road is Queenstown's go-to destination for exceptional lamb dishes prepared with skill and genuine passion. The restaurant has built a loyal following over years of consistently delivering quality meat cooked with Mediterranean and local influences. Whether you're after a perfectly seared lamb backstrap, slow-cooked shoulder, or traditional preparations, Pedro's has earned its 4.6-star rating by focusing on what it does best—sourcing premium local lamb and cooking it right.
Expect a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere with warm service that feels genuinely welcoming rather than stuffy. The dining room fills with both locals and visitors, and the energy is lively without being chaotic—it's the kind of place where groups linger over wine and couples enjoy intimate dinners equally well. Most meals take 1.5 to 2 hours, so don't rush if you're on a tight schedule. Staff are knowledgeable about cuts and pairings, and they're happy to guide newcomers through the menu. It's worth booking ahead, especially during peak season, as tables fill quickly.
Pedro's fits naturally into an adventure-filled Queenstown itinerary as a solid evening anchor—ideal after a day of the Shotover Jet, bungy jumping, or hiking. The Gorge Road location is close enough to the town centre for easy access but feels slightly removed from the main tourist drag. Spring through autumn offers the best dining weather on any outdoor seating, while winter visits pair well with warming, hearty lamb preparations. This is restaurant dining done properly in Queenstown, not a quick tourist meal.
