For 14 years Queenstown's Rātā restaurant has been a constant in the township.

And after a rough few years restaurateur Fleur Caulton says a recent refresh and renovation of the establishment signals a turning point in the tourism town's fortunes.

Fleur has quietly shaped Queenstown’s hospitality scene over more than 30 years.

She’s behind iconic establishments such as  Rātā, Madam Woo, and Hawker & Roll, building venues rooted in generosity, and with a commitment to seasonal, regional produce.
