It’s always difficult eating out when gluten free but there’s so many GF options!!! The girl working out the front really sold it to us! Platter was awesome but make sure to starve yourself before going as it’s a huge portion! Ha!

My favourite dish at Satori for a birthday lunch was superb. Love the Gluten free day on Tuesdays! Fantastic dining without fear of issues later on. Love this place and it is becoming a repeat experience!

Fantastic restaurant, delicious food, great prices, loads of gluten free options. The service was fast, friendly and we couldn’t fault anything. Loved it so much we went twice while on holiday at Mt Maunganui.

Excellent food and service. It's expensive but the views and the food make it worthwhile to try. They don't have a separate vegan and gluten free dish but they were happy to get the chef to create something and they didn't disappoint. It really was a fantastic meal.

Wow! Absolutely fantastic food! I had the Panang coconut curry which was just perfect. My better half was likewise very happy with the fried chicken. The staff are very knowledgeable about dietary matters (I am coeliac) and the waiter double-checked with the chef before confirming my order. Unfortunately, there was a small glitch when my panacotta (which was very, very good) came with a wheat-based tuille on top, however the error was very efficiently corrected. The only small negative is that the coffee was pretty average, though to be fair, it's not a coffee shop. Will I go back? Most definitely!
