Very popular place.
It was just on the outskirts of the main city area, within comfortable walking distance.
Being gluten free I was impressed with the offerings available to me.
Lovely vibes. Highly recommend.
Had the pleasure of dinning at the Public kitchen and bar with my partner. Our waiter Ed throughly explained the menu to us. My partner is a celiac and Ed brought out a seperate menu for her and talked us through it and even gave us some delicious recommendations. The service was great and the food and drink were excellent. Lovely establishment and a great waiter. Thank you Ed!!!
I absolutely loved this modern Mexican restaurant located in the heart of Queenstown! (I went there twice in the space of 3 weeks)
The atmosphere is warm, the dishes are delicious... but above all: it's a safe place for celiacs.
🌮 The menu offers many gluten-free alternatives, and the staff is really knowledgeable and attentive. I felt like I could eat without stress, and that's priceless.
🥹 The real highlight? I was able to eat my first gluten-free churros in 5 years, served with a chocolate sauce to die for. It was so good!
🍹 The cocktails are excellent: original, fruity, and perfectly measured. All in a colorful, energetic setting.
👉 A must-try in Queenstown if you're gluten-intolerant or celiac. And even if you're not, the dishes are definitely worth the detour!
Great fresh burgers and friendly staff. Had two rounds because the first burger was so nice
Accommodating of Gluten Free (celiac) for the burgers. Chips are GF but unfortunately cooked in the same fryer as crumbed things.
Moinho cafe, recently established in Queenstown’s Frankton area, is an extension of the renowned Padaria do Moinho bakery founded in Cuiabá. The Queenstown branch continues the tradition of quality artisanal baking, offering a tempting range of breads, cakes, and savory treats in a relaxed, welcoming café setting. The menu blends Brazilian and South American flavors with New Zealand café classics and caters to various dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options.
Portions are generous-one cheese scone was enough for two-and the cabinet food looks appealing. The staff are friendly and accommodating, and the cappuccino we had was well made. The café’s casual, family-friendly atmosphere makes it a great spot for breakfast, brunch, or a relaxed lunch. Our experience was enhanced by the clean premises and reasonable prices.
Moinho cafe stands out for its fresh, quality baked goods, friendly service, and unique Brazilian flair, making it a welcome addition to Queenstown’s café scene.
Delicious food, great service, and they were able to accommodate for a gluten allergy!!Ordered the Julio’s corned beef carnitas hash w/out the cheese (absolutely delicious), GF eggs benny w/ streaky bacon, and a side of the potatoes. Also got an iced latte and a coffee which were nice.
We were staying at the Ramada and ended up having two dinners and a breakfast here - was so good. Great service and very accomodating to my partner who is gluten free. Truffle fries were amazing
I thought the mushroom risotto I had was super delicious! It's gluten free/celiac friendly :) It has small pieces of mushroom and it's not overly mushroomy so even if you're not a big fan of them (like me) it's overall very yum.
My family got the big breakfast, caeser salad, and chicken burger with fries and they were all happy with their meals.
I would suggest you add the allergens such as gf to your menu please. The risotto only had (v) next to it.
We booked our wedding dinner here for our small group of 8. Upon our arrival we were very warmly welcomed and given 2 glasses of bubbles on the house. The service was 5 star with a special mention to our server Harriett, who really went above and beyond to give us a run down on the menu and recommendations and was able to very confidently cater for our gluten and dairy free guests. The food was outstanding and everyone left full and happy. Harriet even helped us get a group photo out the front by the water, which turned out to be one of the best group shots of the trip.
Thanks again and we will be recommending you to anyone we know heading to Queenstown! Duncan and Jo
We hosted a group of 30 here and it was the perfect spot. The service was great and the outdoor area was perfect for a large group. Super chill atmosphere and beautiful. We took public transit from queenstown and it was a beautiful drive through a canyon and we ordered a sharing platter which everyone was very impressed by. They were able to accommodate gluten free diet too.
Beautiful staff, lovely atmosphere, treat with No Added Gluten for those of us with sensitive stomachs. Perfect almond mocha and were happy to use Lactose Free milk I had leftover. Brekky was also fabulous.
When I asked them to clean the steam wand and milk jug as I am a coeliac and they also do oat milk, they were very happy to do so but as usual came with the “all care but no responsibility” spiel.
Second time here .. had a vegetarian bagel for breakfast which was the best i ever had.. great gluten free options as well…staffs were really friendly..definitely recommend…
Stunning location and cute cafe. However I ordered a gluten free and dairy free option. Part way through eating it I suspected it wasn’t dairy free. Waitress confirmed it wasn’t. I then ordered another option. I was charged for both breakfasts when we went to leave.
A little frustrated as I’ve been unwell all day on my hens weekend on top of having to pay for two breakfasts 😔
This is a great spot to go but if you have any food allergies I’d suggest maybe giving it a pass.
With so many options in the area skip this place. They were rude, and served us gluten after a direct conversation about a gluten allergy. I try to keep most reviews positive, and the scallop on the sashimi plate was good, but the positivity ends there.
Spent the day recovering from being served non-gluten free soy sauce after specifically having the conversation with the server about a gluten allergy. If you are allergic to gluten, skip this place.
We knew the place closed at 3pm and rushed to get there by 2:40 pm for just a snack and a couple drinks. We were allowed to order, and requested that everything be gluten free. When the food arrived we tried to order a second drink but we were told the kitchen was closed.....it was about 2:55 pm at this point and we only tried to order drinks....again were told the kitchen was closed. The waitress was rude ... The food was below average for the price they are charging. The fish was average at best, and the rice was not sushi rice (just average white rice)
There is really no reason to go to this place with a street full of great options where the people are super friendly.
delicious burgers, pulled pork and potatoes. huge portions, gluten free buns and just overall amazing! we came at lunch but during dinner they have even more options
Great cafe!! The quality of everything is noteworthy, they obviously put a lot of pride and effort into each meal and coffee! I had the breakfast bun burger which was absolutely stacked, inhaled it in about 2min because it was THAT good. The oat milk latte was perfect aswell, wouldn’t change a thing. The venue has a nice glass roof aswell so would be pretty cool if it’s raining/snowing. If you’re looking for something with great gluten free variety, high quality meals and stellar coffees, COME HERE!
The coffee is fantastic...and Billy's cheese scones have to be the best on the planet. You cannot tell, but they are gluten free...I am not gluten free (far from it), but I would absolutely choose one of these over any other! Legends.
We had a disappointing experience at this establishment. We specifically requested a gluten-free sandwich, which the attendant confirmed was gluten-free. However, after consuming it, my gluten-free partner became severely ill, indicating improper food preparation.
Although my own dish was satisfactory, we were overcharged. The overall experience left us feeling frustrated and unsatisfied. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend this place and will not be returning.
Celiac friendly
