Queenstown’s Fergburger has been named one of the planet’s best burger experiences in a ranking published by Lonely Planet.
According to Lonely Planet “Queenstown’s funky Fergburger serves protein-heavy fodder to fuel you up for any number of bungee jumps, jet-boat rides and zorbing forays”.
Must try burgers named are the lamb burger, the Little Bambi Fiordland venison burger, the Codfather and the Cockadoodle Oink (fish, beef, chicken and swine combos).
