Pio Pio Restaurant

World-class dining in a World Heritage location.

For guests of the lodge or those visiting Milford Sound for the day, Pio Pio restaurant is the place to find good food, good coffee and great service.

With an incredible menu and great reviews, Milford Sound’s Pio Pio restaurant is considered a must-do NZ dining experience. Sample local flavours alongside kiwi hospitality while soaking up Pio Pio’s incredible setting within Fiordland National Park.

In a remote location, the Pio Pio kitchen team miraculously create a dining experience to rival any big city restaurant. But this is far from formal dining, Milford Sound’s only restaurant aims for good food, good company and the sharing of stories. 

A mouth-watering menu focuses on locally-sourced produce with Fiordland wild venison tenderloin and local Blue Cod firm favourites, as well as an easy kids menu and lighter options. The restaurant is fully licensed and is open seven days. 

The Pio Pio menu ranges from light, café lunch options to a full evening menu matched with local wine and craft beers. Dining is open to Milford Sound guests as well as day visitors.

Please note:  If your arrival is before the 8th December 2023 our restaurant is closed for renovations.  We have an excellent dining experience available for our chalet guests to enjoy in the privacy of their chalet with everything delivered.  Campervan guests please be advised there is self-catering available for the time being.
