Pedro’s House of Lamb Queenstown

By | New Zealand | No Comments

Since day 1 we have been wanting to try Pedro’s House of Lamb @pedroshouseoflamb But worried where we will be eating the lamb since its for take out only. Since today was our last day in Queenstown we made sure we tried it so we went for merienda! Pedro's House of Lamb Queenstown (5) Pedro's House of Lamb Queenstown (7) Pedro's House of Lamb Queenstown (6) Pedro's House of Lamb Queenstown (9)  They only have one item on the menu – lamb shoulder. Pedro's House of Lamb Queenstown (8) Pedro's House of Lamb Queenstown (10) Pedro's House of Lamb Queenstown (13)  It comes in a disposable foil. Pedro's House of Lamb Queenstown (11) Pedro's House of Lamb Queenstown (12) Pedro's House of Lamb Queenstown (1) Pedro's House of Lamb Queenstown (2)  When we got there we saw they had one wooden table at the side by the road with mountains in the backdrop! Perfect! 🙂   Yum!! It was worth it! #pedroshouseoflamb #lambshoulder #lamb #queenstown #queenstownnz #H2HNewZealand2016 #newzealandPedro's House of Lamb Queenstown (4)  So happy to meet Damien, the nephew of Pedro of Pedro’s House of Lamb @pedroshouseoflamb He runs and owns the Queenstown branch while Uncle Pedro owns the one in Christchurch. Damien is from San Sebastián Spain. We recommend Pedro’s House of Lamb for lamb shoulder. Damien says they prefer the Low land lambs since they are more tender compared to the Highland Merino which is perceived as higher quality but more for wool than as a meat for eating. The lamb comes with plenty sauce and potatoes. Yum
