At Erik’s, everything starts with manaakitanga — welcoming people in, looking after them, and serving kai with genuine care. What began as a small Tāhuna Queenstown fish & chip spot has grown into a place where locals and travellers feel at home.
Fresh food, friendly faces, and that relaxed Kiwi vibe… that’s what we’re all about.
For over a decade, Erik’s has been powered by genuine Kiwi hospitality. Our team welcomes everyone with warmth and care — the spirit of manaakitanga that makes visitors feel like whānau from the moment they arrive.
Freshly cooked fish in light, crispy batter, homemade twice‑fried chips, and our iconic deep‑fried kiwifruit. Simple, honest kai made the proper Kiwi way — tasty, reliable, and made with pride every day.
We honour classic fish & chips while adding our own Southern Lakes flavour. Whether it’s our coeliac‑safe kitchen, unique treats, or friendly chat at the window, Erik’s is all about creating a meal — and a moment — that feels uniquely Kiwi.
Manaakitanga means looking after people — and that starts with serving kai everyone can enjoy. Our entire kitchen is coeliac‑safe, with no gluten on site and careful systems in place to protect every guest.
From our fresh‑cooked fish to our homemade crispy chips and treats, you can trust that everything is made safely, thoughtfully, and with genuine care.
