Top 30 Gluten-Free Accommodating Spots to Discover in Southland

Sarah Capon

Coeliac aware and great gf options! Loved the chicken sushi bowl! A bit hard to get a table in there because it’s so busy, but worth it. I didn’t really love the Vietnamese loaded fries, but I’d say that’s just my preference.

The Big Breakfast was big, the long black was delicious, the staff were friendly with a smile and a quip whilst still professional. I can't understand the poor reviews. Our meal arrived in good time - it was obviously freshly cooked. I asked for GF, and nothing was too much trouble. They swopped out my sausage for halloumi, and they hid a tasty tomato under the bacon. Best bit - the potato rosti/hash brown. Beautifully seasoned. There was a whole shelf of gluten-free sweet treats, 7 options! If only I'd had room after breakfast.

Great coffee. Sat outside in the sun. We had a hashbrown stack with added halloumi, and a big brekkie with gluten free bread. Fuelled us for our hike later that day. It was delicious and highly recommend.

OMG I had the most delicious gluten free lunch here. Salmon and potato ball with a fresh and delicious side salad. As a coeliac, I didn't feel at all sick after it, so I would suggest the food is prepared well from a cross-contamination perspective. I have eaten here a few times over the years and have never been ill. All I wish is that I took some of those tasty treats away with me! I'll definitely be back here. A place we always go to when down in Invercargill. The only problem with this place is that it's always so busy. But great vibe and highly recommend. If you are a coeliac please do recheck when you go there about any of your concerns.

Great food and a good range of gluten-free food on offer.

Quinton Mills

If your gluten free don't go here, made my 11 year old celiac son feel terrible about asking for gluten free

Sarah Roberts

Lovely dinner at The Fat Duck. Do recommend booking in for a seat. Service was friendly and food was very tasty. Lots of gluten free and dairy free options.

Tania Webb

We called into the coffee bomb for some lunch, I bought a gluten free bacon and egg pie, was the most delicious gf pie I've ever tried, pastry was very nice and light, wouldn't mind that recipe or ordering a few of I could.

Deborah Smith

Great lunch and great gluten free options 👍

Food is okay. Fryer is not suitable for coeliacs (despite steak) etc being listed as gf. They will offer substitutes etc but maybe look into changing this? Items may be gf by ingredient but you shouldn't be labeling them as this if you put everything into the same fryer (worked hospo for years - it's not hard to differentiate and train staff on). You could make someone seriously sick. Clear labeling provides comfort for everyone. Overall a good place for a bite but the service is also very rushed.

Amy Brown

Love going to industry whether it's grabbing sweet treats to go or sitting in for a meal. The food is so yum! Always great gluten free options staff are so lovely and nice and clean premises.

Rachel Ohlson

Pricy but we received excellence and are so impressed with the food and coffee. Love the decor and timber of the original homestead. We were served by such a lovely lady which is a bonus. There is art for sale on the walls which was also a nice extra touch. So delishish, glad we came. Added a pic if the hand cut fries, we do not know how they were so yum!! Maybe fresh grown or good potatoes? Gluten free caramel slice was beautiful, the base was like shortbread. They were very accommodating for my children, there were some toys and fun puzzles and they split a milk shake into 3 small glasses. The meals coming out looked incredible.

Annemarie Groth

Best chips ever and definitely gluten free as they have a separate fryer. The grilled blue cod was also delicious.

We live in Queenstown but we come all the way here, pretty much very often 🤣😅, JUST for Burger Fuel! Jess at the front desk is awesome, super welcoming , great hospitality and looked after my Gluten Free requests very politely 😊 We had the pleasure to meet the franchisee that was also very charming! Definitely an asset! Nice atmosphere, very tidy and clean. Thank you to the whole team! We'll hopefully see you shortly 🍔🥤🤤🤤🤤

Great service and great food. I'm also Coeliac and while the menu was limited for me I still managed a meal and desert. Many places will tell you they can cater for coeliacs and end up contaminating their food, not these guys tho 🙂

michael ashbrook

They have a good gluten free menu (including the mac n cheese) and the staff are always so friendly. I like the board with all the different drinks on it. Its a pretty good price. Ginger beer on tap is golden (please never take this away). Very cosy feeling as well, which i feel really suits the food available to order.

Natasha Savic

Very friendly staff helped me expedite an order due to my celiacs. The sandwich was very tasty too

Trisha Durie

Excellent food, friendly staff. Lots of gluten free choices. Highly recommend. My partner loved the chowder!

Catered very well for Gluten Free and Dairy Free, the same as any other Thai restaurant does. Sadly though, they have no gluten free soy sauce so the meal was VERY bland. Strongly suggest you buy some GF soy sauce. Your customers will appreciate it. :-)

adrienne howell

Really nice spot for brunch - been 2 days in a row. Good coffee, great gluten free eggs benny. Service is really good and really friendly.

Franklin v M

Excellent bagels, wide choice of toppings. Also very nice that there were gluten-free nails and options.

April van Es

Surrounded by green, you can eat & drink in or out. Gluten-free sweet treats available. Smiling staff and happy customers. Perfect for lunch or just a coffee/cup of tea.

Christine White

Gluten free/ coeliac. Really helpful and knowledgeable. We ordered a non vege platter as a starter and were advised one element of this was not gf; this arrived in a separate dish which I appreciated. Butter chicken and lamb bhuna were both delicious. Recommend this restaurant for coeliac / gf. Staff lovely. I’d eat here again!

Aaron Bryce

What a pleasant surprise. By far the best dining experience we have had in our 2 week stay in New Zealand. I had the Rib Eye and it was cooked to perfection and served with vegetables and accompaniments (so no need to seperately order and pay for sides as many restaurants annoyingly do these days) Portion size was generous. My partner had the Salmon and was equally happy with her meal. The wine we drank perfectly complimented our meals and we could not fault the service or the atmosphere. On another note as a coeliac they catered well for my dietary requirements. Well done and keep up the great work.
