Loved my experience here the staff were super kind and helpful, I rang beforehand and was made to feel super welcome and when I arrived I was told all the safety measures put in place such as a seperate gf fryer and working area. I had the fried chicken burger it was okay, the bread tasted a bit sconish and the chicken was a little underseasoned but the Kumara fries were insanely good! Would love to try one of the other burgers :)
Great place to get a burger for a coeliac, though only if you go on a day the buns are fresh! I went twice, and the first time my gf bun was really nice, but the second time it completely broke apart within the first two bites, making it too hard to eat without a knife and fork. These are things we deal with as gluten free people anyway, so it wasn’t surprising, but a little disappointing after such a good bun the time before. Otherwise the burgers were great, the chicken nuggets were really nicely cooked, and the chips were yum too!
One of my favourite places for brunch/lunch! Heaps of gluten-free options in the cabinet and on the menu and everything I’ve tried so far has been delicious. The gf chicken and waffles and the bowls are always a treat ☺️
Great customer service - good wine selections and food well priced.
A lot of Gluten free options and a bonus gf complementary shortbread with my coffee - that made me very happy.

100/10 - I am convinced there is no better sweet treat on earth. Everyday at 3pm my colleagues and I wander down to riverside and try find the last Millionaire Crunch—if not already sold out. Countries would go to war over the quality of this caramel. Gluten free and not trying to charge extra arm and a leg - what a breath of fresh air! Will see you again tomorrow and until my last day.

Absolutely delicious gluten free steak and brandy pie. It’s a few weeks since we ate there, and I’m still dreaming about it. The gf are much smaller than the regular pies, but definitely not lacking in flavour.
As a gluten free person Lucianos is a dream with heaps of cabinet and menu items catering to those with a gf diet. Coffee was fantastic. I can see why it’s so busy all the time. Parking was a tad difficult and I could see that people couldn’t find seats hence just 4 stars for atmosphere
Had gluten free eggs bene; the hash brown was the most delicious I have ever eaten. Crisp on the outside & fluffy inside. Very generous size portions too. The coffee wasn't hot enough for our liking but otherwise fantastic breakfast. Busy cafe; obviously popular.
Had the most delicious dinner here! As a coeliac sometimes it’s hard eating out but the waitress was so helpful and informative with my ordering and it did NOT disappoint! So yummy :) highly recommend the karaage chicken….
This place is amazing. The food is such high quality and at good prices. I really appreciated all the gluten free options, both savoury and sweet. The staff were helpful and inviting and obviously care a lot about what they do. The world is a better place with Amore Cafe. Thank you!

Delicious gluten free alchemy- how do they do it! Highly recommend. Purchased tasty bacon and egg pie with crispy flakey layered pastry (reminiscent of gluten but somehow not) and soft scrumptious cinnamon rolls. Haven’t been able to have these in years- thank you Bubbles!
My husband and I have brunch here recently when in Christchurch for a weekend away, without kids, and really enjoyed it. The food was top notch. I’m gluten intolerant and don’t normally have many options but I had quite a few choices. My husband went with the breakfast stack and it did not disappoint, other than the fact he couldn’t finish it as he didn’t want to overstuff himself for the road trip home!
I got the pancakes, what a treat! They were delicious and I absolutely did finish them!
We both got coffees, which were so drinkable we wanted more. We have recommended this place already!

Fantastic night out. Staff were amazing and made us so welcome. We had someone with Celiac disease. Most of the menu is gluten free but for the bits that weren't the staff made sure she had an alternative. Thank you all, you were fantastic

In short, I’ve been here twice and I’d choose to dine elsewhere in chch in places I know do a much better experience for this price.
I don’t have pictures from our visit but they wouldn’t justify anything anyway. The truffle fries had no truffle, just pecorino cheese on top to make them look like truffle fries, a common hack/ trick. The gluten free pizza base could do with some work/improvements, we’ve definitely had better.
The kids menu items are $20 which is so expensive for what you get. We ordered the kids macaroni, and for that portion (the size of a bread and butter plate in a small cast iron sizzler) it would cost $3 to make and they’re charging $20, already steep for a kids meal so I expected it to be amaaaazing. It also came out on a sizzling plate, from a kids menu!? Why would you serve a piping hot cast iron plate to children? It makes absolutely no sense. The staff could do with some major training on the drinks list, it’s a small wine list and wouldn’t take very long to teach the staff what is what, they knew nothing about wine whatsoever. The flavour of our pizza was ok, the beef cheek was lovely, they also have a sparking red wine which was new for us and delicious (even if the waitress didn’t know if it was actually sparkling red wine). All in all I’d choose other restaurants over this next time for sure. There just aren’t enough redeeming factors.
Stopped in at the fish n chips but no gluten-free options and lovely young guy directed us to the pub for celiac people, so across to the pub we went, wow, what a friendly welcome and yes we do celiac friendly meals, big range of options. Wasn't disappointed with chicken tenders, chips and coleslaw.
Great service, friendly bar maid and highly recommend the pub for grub.
I am Coeliac and the gluten free pizza base was the best I think I've ever had. My family actually said the base was nicer than the normal pizza base so 10/10 for food. The beef my husband got was very fatty but the sauce was good and the potato served with it was outstanding. Polenta fries were lovely but they forgot to bring the aoili sauce with it which maybe we were meant to order that as we saw someone else being served this. The service was outstanding, especially given I screwed up the online booking. They were all really lovely. I would definitely go back again just for the gluten free pizza.
I would highly recommend trying out Moment Cafe. They have gluten free options like french (photo attached) which was so beautifully presented and even more delicious to eat.
On top of that the service was very friendly and the ambiance of the Cafe so cozy/welcoming. Definitely a nice place to visit in the city centre if you get a chance.

Special note for dietary requirements: the menu was extremely detailed when it came to gluten free and vegetarian options, and the staff were also very attentive to this when we ordered.
There was lots to choose from for our gluten free table. The menu also said that their mayonnaise and soy sauce were all gluten free too.
We ordered chicken teriyaki, tofu, rice, sushi and vegetables to share - everything was incredible.
The meal cost $106- for two people but we did have an alcoholic drink each as well.
Great service and atmosphere. Thank you to the staff for a great evening.
I'm Celiac so not much choice, but my husband loves the pie's there, by tge looks of them, they are so full of meat and pastry looks delicious. Service was great, the lady bringing out drinks etc was super friendly. We sat outside as quite noisy inside.
Overall great experience- great gluten free chicken and my partner enjoyed the pasta. Great service- the only thing I would fault is the pay wave system, even though I swiped the card I still got charged as pay wave and it wouldn't let me insert it, I guess it's just the paywave system but was disappointed. But the staff we were really lovely about it and Overall.

I needed a gluten free black forest gateau and I rang so many places. These guys went out of their way to help 😎 total legends! Can't give a big enough thank you and shhhh it didn't break the bank and it's a generous size!
Delicious coffee! However, it is expensive for alternative milks, at $1.50 for almond or soy. Very short on gluten free cabinet food. Lots of sandwiches and bread rolls. Nice atmosphere, can be very busy.
They were very accommodating/knowledgeable to gluten friendly choices and were able to clearly communicate which dishes they could make for me. I had the vegetable rice noodles and they were delicious. It is a shared kitchen.
A friend and I stopped here for a quick meal during our drive down south since we were hungry but I honestly wish we stayed on the road instead. We had high hopes and saw the gorgeous view of the lake when we walked in with an empty dining room, so we figured we’d be sat by the window to enjoy the view. Instead, they sat us as far away as possible from the window, with a divider completely blocking the view so that was a bummer. I ordered a chicken caesar salad thinking it’s a hard thing to mess up, but they managed to do that. They used canned chicken, threw in some balsamic vinegar and added canned mango chunks for some odd reason. My friend ordered a salad with shrimp which on the menu was listed as having a gluten free option. The server then came back and said that the shrimp wasn’t gluten free and provided no other option despite the gluten free option listed under the menu. They then ordered the soup of the day which was tomato, thinking that was a safe bet. Newsflash it was not. Once the soup arrived it was a pale
orange colour, which tomato soup should not be but whatever maybe it tasted fine. It did not taste fine, they don’t even know how to describe it, but it did not taste good. And on top of all that it was doused in balsamic vinegar for what purpose is don’t know. Needless to say, we have no intention on returning to this restaurant on our drive back up the island
Great place for brunch. Gets very busy so would recommend booking! The gingerbread hot chocolate is to die for. They cater very well to gluten and dairy free people such as myself.
Dinner was okay. Their pizza sauce is way too sweet for me and I didn't care for it. Glad they had a gluten free crust but it wasn't the best I've had.
Went for brunch got a gluten free chicken burger the (JFK), it was amazing would 1000% recommend for gluten free people. There ice lattè was really nice also.
The Breakfast Burger is delicious! The tasty patty came adorned with hash-brown sticks, on a bun with cheez melted onto it. Menu includes smoothies, milkshakes, housemade ginger ale, hot chocolate; buddha bowl, onion rings, daily soup, breakfast plate and more.
Shop shelves have many interesting products and include some good things for travellers, such as peanut-butter sachets, oatmilk powder and containers of pâté and “fish” salad.
Lots of sweet things to choose from. Chiller has takeaway sandwich filling, coleslaw, Dunedin-made cheezy spreads, etc. Appetizers and gift boxes available to take away. Spices, soup mixes, fresh bread and ciabatta buns, handmade soaps and many gluten-free items.
Cabinet is full of fabulous sandwiches, wraps, savoury piesand many baked treats. I’ve tried the Pinkalicious slice and iced carrot-cake cupcake - both scrumptious.
No animal products anywhere in the store. Catering, wholesale and online shop available.
The coffee tasted very good and the service was very friendly. The atmosphere is also very cozy and you can also buy a few small gifts on site. There is also a lot of choice for gluten-free dishes and vegetarian dishes are also available.
Also available gluten free
It's good that GF and VG menus are always displayed in NZ.
I had honey ginger tea and VG salad.
