Big Fig Wānaka is a local favourite for "slow food served fast"! Located on the Wānaka lakefront, this cafe has delicious dishes you can eat in and take away. Serving mouth-watering slow-cooked meats to fresh salads bursting with flavour, they promise a food experience that will leave your tummy full and happy!

One of the best (and most inexpensive!) things to do in Wānaka is to get a takeaway ( I recommend one from Big Fig) and eat it down by the lakefront. It's the ultimate people-watching place, as there's always someone boating, jet skiing, swimming, or doing something else that makes you stare for juuuuust too long. I could sit there forever.
