Gluten free rosemary bread was a big hit, salads and pizzas were beautiful, and Grandma enjoyed lamb shank. Staff lovely and attentive!

Ginger Williams

Really delicious and variety of different foods, gluten free and vegetarian options

the gamberia pasta was absolutely beautiful, aswell as the cubano cocktail. being gluten & dairy free, it’s hard for me to come across restaurants that have my dietary options but the staff was excellent. will definitely visit again for dinner when I’m back at the mount.

My daughter has been here many times raving about their "Reuben" and hash sticks, it's her ultimate favourite, the kind that puts a smile on a teenager! 😀 I now see why! Although I had the single burger & hash sticks, it was delicious & her Reuben left me wanting to come back & try it out for sure! Some menu items cater to dairy free & gluten free too (bonus)! Staff super lovely & cute place. Highly recommend 🙌💓

I like this place, we have eaten here twice as a family. The only let down is they don’t offer any gluten/dairy free side with the steak. Chips are in a shared frier, so not GF. And the mash has dairy in it. Otherwise would give it a higher score :) Service is always very good with nice friendly staff.

Loved that the cabinet had lots of nice gluten free options, esp nice for brunch. It was a freezing cold rainy Saturday lunch and it was not overly busy. The inside area was toasty warm, but the outside covered area was very cold and could benefit from some gas heating as it was an excellent spill over space. A few of our coffee orders got messed up, but the drinks were tasty. A handy place to hang out after a cold netball game.

We returned after a great experience about a year ago while visiting the Mount. This time however the food was just okay. Although the bean dip was stone cold. Evidently it's meant to be.... Yet when you get bean dip as a side on a meal it is warm?! The service was poor, at least five servers, on a quiet night and we were left waiting an incredibly long time before the desert order was taken. When asked if any desserts were available as gluten free nothing was possible .... Not even ice cream which came with other desserts?!? Was just okay, but nothing to make us want to return.

Highly recommend this Cafe, especially for coeliacs. Lovely staff. Knowledgeable about coeliac disease. Appetizing menu! Omelets were delicious and huge! Great value for money. Coffee was good. We will be going back.

We we disappointed in the quality of the food on this visit. We had 2 hybrid combos, both came with badly burnt kumera fries. The egg on one burger was burnt and the bacon on the other burger. We also ordered a gluten free burger which was fine apart from the bread was so stale that my partner rated it the worst burger she ever had. We frequent this store fairly regularly and have not experienced this before, so I called to see what they would say about the quality of the meal. Unfortunately I got a machine as they were too busy to take the call. Not Impressed all, there are plenty of other options for take out, I may not go back after this as there is nothing fun about having takeout at home and it being yuck!

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.

D Menzies

Great for Gluten Free chicken and chips!

Dora Savoie

Usually this place is fantastic all the time, so maybe lots of new staff on and also new menu, so for me being gluten-free and dairy free: I struggled to find something. Prices also appeared to have jumped by $4-5, which was also a surprise. But hey don't let this put you off, it's usually awesome

Patricia Camara

John Oxlade

Outstandingly good and loads of gluten free options too. I’d give it 6 starts if I could

Ash Cross

Impossible great king best burger I’ve ever had with a gluten free bun that didn’t effect my stomach yay nailed it so delicious ps Caitlyn so friendly and respectful of my dietary requirements will definitely eat at Mount reburger again🫶

Sarah Lavin

Great lil spot! Love the staff so friendly and go out of their way to make sure everything is spot on Food was delicious. Short ribs is to die for 😍 pork was yum but fatty (however our server did inform us this when we ordered, it's the type of cut of meat) chicken was good. Fried chicken delicious! The brie also delicious! Great range of Gluten free options. Cocktails were delicious especially during that happy hour. Atmosphere was amazing! Overall my family and I were amazed at this lil restaurant. definitely will be coming here again

My 13yo son, who is coeliac, went up to the counter and asked if the iced chocolate is gluten-free. The two girls behind the counter laughed at him and ridiculed him for asking - asking him if he was "feeling funky" - AND did not check to see if it was, saying we're pretty sure chocolate is fine. We will not be back.

Dave Pearson

This place was recommended to me, so I was keen to try it. Ordered a pork roll, which was delicious but a little messy. I'll happily come back and try something else on the menu. Good to see that they have plenty of gluten free products which will keep my coeliac wife happy. Thanks.

Edit April 2023. Ok, definitely back to 5 stars. The food was amazing with several vegan and gluten free options. Service was friendly and was a nice atmosphere. So they have sorted out the problems mentioned below and I'm happy to recommend Viet Lane. Edit Feb 2023. Very disappointed that my booking was confirmed via email and then I got a call about a 1/2 hour later to say they have had to cancel my booking as they are full. I feel they need to improve their systems so I don't get a confirmation that they can't honour. Previous review from 2022 Very nice food. They have a few vegan and gluten free options. The service was not great. We had to wait quite a while for drinks to arrive and then one of the mains seemed to have been forgotten and there was no check made. We had to ask for it while the rest of the group waited.

Really disappointed. I ordered GF bread and waited ages for my food. Eventually came and I dived in, only for 5 minutes later the waitress to bring me gluten free bread on the side apologizing after I already had a few bites of the regular bread. So many waiters trying to help one table and orders were lost and so much confusion was caused. Food was not amazing and when leaving almost over charged because of their mistake and it was a public holiday and we were charged 15% surcharge but totally not worth it after this experience.

Maddi Fraser

So many gluten free cabinet options and lots of df and gf menu options. The gf savoury muffin was delicious!

Always happy with the takeaways. I have coeliac disease so can’t eat gluten and the curries and phad Thai can be made gluten free. We also ordered a vegan curry which has a nice selection of veggies. The staff are always warm and friendly. I would highly recommend :)
