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!!!
Absolutely packed with people and super loud so an introvert's nightmare. Amazing wine list! The pizza was....well, pizza, and it was if course a very Italian choice list so none with chicken, but a few with shrimp, lots with ham, prosciutto, salami. The fresh salad was nice but could make it at home easy. Pasta looked amazing but no gluten free option was provided. Nice elevated street view if you sit near the windows. Had an aperitif that tasted like liquid toothpaste, an experience. Wouldn't take kids here as it'd be chaos.
Great afternoon view over the bay, I had a gluten free fish and chips which were cooked in a separate fryer which is fantastic as a coeliac.
Fish batter was light and crunchy and shoestring chips were great. Very relaxing spot.
Thank you
What a debacle! Just a couple of snacky ski bums craving a tasty gluten free tender meal after a cracking on the maunga. We love chicken, so this seemed like the perfect choice. It was not. When you think of a chicken tender you think of golden, juicy, tasty, crispy... But how wrong we were to rely on the website photos. What we received was an unseasoned, insipid, whiter than the snow tender with really no redeeming features. For an outfit that specialises in chicken, this was exceptionally bad. Only plus side to this whole shamozzle was the chips. Thank goodness Briscoes and Woolworths are close by to grab the other couple of necessities on this trip. We're not angry, we're just disappointed.
Protip: Woolworths is just down the road. Grab yourself a packet of Waitoa gluten free burger fillets and some Makakihi Fries and you'll be waaaaay happier than us.
Edit: old mate Owner is (again) saying it was a kids meal... Absolutely wasn't! ...not sure how long they can keep hiding behind that. Poor form to be honest. Get down to countdown - 3x the food, 10x the taste for less pesos
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.

Nice enough place food was good gluten free options available. I would say it is aimed more towards the younger customer .We are in the 55/65 bracket the music was loud and there were alot of younger people who were drinking and having a good time .
Absolutely beautiful warm and welcoming restaurant with outstanding food and service! Gluten free pasta a winner. Our son has Coeliac Disease and the gluten free pizzas were the best we've had anywhere in the world so far. Ask for Matilda... super efficient, friendly and delightful.
Highly highly recommend. Best gluten free burger I've ever had. Buns were decent size and soft and the no extra cost is a massive bonus! I had the chicken burger and my partner had the cheeseburger. Both GF and both well worth it. Had takeaways but when we picked it up the vibe was cool and the place looked clean. Good friendly service. Just too easy! Will definitely be back when passing thru dunedin next time! In fact will make sure we swing back this way more often! Thank you 😊
Really good food and excellent drinks. Staff are super friendly and the food is superb. We had quite a few people in our party who have lots of food intolerances and they catered exceptionally well to them! Gluten free, dairy free etc. Really tasty food and nice location.
Loved this place, inside is so beautiful, the staff member I spoke to was so friendly and the pizza was delicious. I went to so many places in Wanaka looking for somewhere that could do a gluten free pizza that was coeliac safe and I finally found it here. Pizza base was so crispy, the pizza was amazing and I'm definitely going back next time!
Best burrito I’ve had on this side of the pacific. And multiple vegan options!
Staff are kind and very aware of my food allergies and dietary restrictions, and they are happy to modify things for me.
Would love to see the addition of vegan mayo & gluten free burritos someday! :)
I love a good burger and this place didn't disappoint! Having both Gluten and Dairy allergies it can be hard at times when eating out but they were super accomidating and the mofo burger was super tasty and filling! They even provided a child's seat for our little one to sit and enjoy a hot chip or two
I had the nachos, they are offered gluten free and provided perfectly. The food was incredible and eating on the patio on a beautiful day makes it so much more enjoyable. Thank you!
We inhaled our food here it was so good. The Pad Thai definitely lives up to the hype. Also, almost everything on the menu could be made gluten free with no issue, the staff was very kind about the gluten free request.
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.
Absolutely brilliant place to take friends and family staff are super friendly and polite great atmosphere the food was absolutely amazing
Catered for gluten-free
A casual friendly and warm atmosphere accompanied a delicious sharing platter of meats and vegetables. The meat was perfectly cooked and for me the star was the lamb and polenta. An added bonus was that it was gluten-free. We would definitely go again.
Amazing food and excellent service. We had a range of small plates and tacos which was perfect for 2. Great range of cocktails and tequilas. Excellent gluten free options. Would highly recommend.
Excellent experience with making a last minute, large group booking. Recieved quick confirmation from Ombrello's and had a lovely table in the restaurant. Excellent service and very prompt drinks and food - they were also knowledgeable around food for our coeliac friends.
