Veronica Ritchie

Absolutely delicious made my celiac heart so happy !

Emily The Coeliac

Could not recommend the attic enough! They are amazing and so careful!

Emma Holmes

We ate here for the first time tonight and it was delicious authentic Italian with the bonus of accommodating our daughter’s Coeliacs. We’ll definitely be back!

The food was absolutely fantastic – but the service was even better! As someone with food allergies, I can wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. The waitress asked about any allergies already during the reservation and later pointed out exactly what I could safely eat from the menu. It's especially recommendable for people with celiac disease. A truly wonderful experience!

Marieke Pastor

Lovely place for a meal. The food is delicious and the service outstanding. The coeliac member of our group was catered for. Would highly recommend.

ana campora

Simply delicious. The food is full of flavor, and almost everything on the menu is gluten-free. A great spot for something tasty, different, and truly Latino! Don’t miss the “Playera” arepa… it’s the best🤤 Highly recommended.

Sarah K

Can not recommend enough! The food is amazing, great value for money and the coffee is always consistently delicious. Very celiac safe with lots of gluten free options and staff are knowledgeable about cross contaminations etc Must get the garlic mushrooms.

Tasneem Al-Maskari

I always go to duck island at least once a week and never thought to leave a review. Out of all my times here, today was the best one! Thanks to Cordell. Such a genuine person who actually recommended stuff I’ve never had before. The gluten free cone yall?!! Actually phenomenal (I’m not allergic to gluten). Thank you heaaaps Cordell.

Sam McCahon

Friendly service, healthy and nourishing food, great offering for vegan and gluten free people. Will be back :)

Rebecca McFadzien

My boyfriend & I had a lovely dining experience here recently. Our waitress Hannah was so attentive to our dietary restrictions (Coeliac) and it was clear she genuinely cared. The same goes for the talented chefs in the kitchen, who were super patient and understanding and took the Coeliacs/gluten allergy very seriously. Thank you all for making this such a lovely date night for us! We’ll definitely be back.

Thomas Hendricks

Incredibly well-managed and very good service at a locally-owned restaurant that truly knows their stuff with keto, coeliac-safe, low FODMAP and other nutritional needs. In two years of living locally and eating here monthly or at least quarterly, we’ve never had a problem with an order nor a bad experience.

Karen Searle

Finally a Cafe that caters for allergies! Specifically for me, most of the menu could be catered as gluten free and I wasn't disappointed. The menu was varied, not just the normal Cafe staples which was so refreshing and the staff were lovely. A lovely lunch on my last day in New Zealand. One happy tourist and if I were a local I'd be a regular. 😁

Mel Farrow

Delicious gluten free food with dedicated menu. We enjoyed 3 courses and we never do that! Amazing service too loved it.

Natalie Doherty

Really yummy mostly gluten-free food. Lots of parking. Staff are really friendly. I've been here twice for lunch now and it doesn't disappoint.

jaimie jamieson

Very good experience, food was great and they take gluten allergies serious

Cate McCallum

Food was amazing! I wish I'd remembered to take some photos. The only let down was service was a little slow- as in getting drinks initially and then the tables weren't cleared at all...but the food came out quickly and I'd go back again simply for the food options! 4 of us are coeliac and there were so many dishes that were either gluten free or could be modified for us 😍

Josh Kopp

5 Stars, pizza are great they also have an amazing gluten free pizza bases . I will be back

Michelle Tumurchudur

Gluten free options. Great coffee & amazing service 😍

Pannara Suwannikkha

One of my go-to cafes with my partner – we’ve been here so many times and it never disappoints! The gluten-free bagel is absolutely delicious – great texture and flavour. But the highlight has to be the waffle fried chicken with honey sriracha syrup… sweet, spicy, crispy – just perfect. Everything looks as good as it tastes – definitely a great spot if you love taking food pics 📸 friendly service, and tasty food every time. Highly recommended!

David Visser

Always an absolute party to visit for my coeliac daughter. The staff are very well trained on how to handle a request for coeliac ice cream. They make fantastic gluten free cones, and will specifically go out the back to grab a brand new tub of ice cream with a new scoop. My coeliac daughter turned 7 today and we took her tonight like we do sometimes. I’m so happy that she can feel completely like every other person here with a huge range of flavours available. Her favourite is ambrosia. The staff is always friendly too. If anyone is looking for a great gluten free dessert look no further!

My review is focusing on the set menu, but I was wanted to preface this by saying that this place is always nice, and always quite gluten-friendly. We came here for the set menu on New Years as a group of four and it was absolutely phenomenal. Unfortunately for us, though every item was delicious, the greatest hits were the items that aren't normally on the menu (I loooooved the beef tataki so much that we asked for more). No need to be scared or worried about there only being one option for the set menu, because every option was stunning. And I'm saying that as a relatively fussy eater. The staff were generally amazing, but something that stood out to me is how accommodating the staff were when it came to our celiac friend. In spite of it being a set menu, they managed to ensure that she had gluten-fres options, especially when it came to dessert and we finally got served our food separately. Would highly recommend for anyone that can't eat gluten, as we frequently come herd with that friend for the normal menu, as there are plenty of options to choose from. One thing to note about Mekong Baby is that it is more on the expensive side, but I wholeheartedly believe that it is worth it for the food and service.

Came in for a quick lunch. My partner ordered the fish and chips with mushy peas Gluten free and I had the pork tacos, beef brisket lollipops and the chips. Atmosphere was nice and chill. Quiet for a Saturday lunch time but there was a lot going on outside. Service was quick and easy. The server helped my partner who had a bee sting which was much appreciated. Food came out fast and was temperature hot. The chips were the best thick cut pub chips I’ve had in a while. Good amount of salt and perfect amount of aioli. The fish was cooked well and wasn’t dry. The brisket lollipops had great seasoning and flavours were sweet and fragrant. The corn tortillas on the tacos did fall apart more than I’d like but everything else for the taco was delicious. The salsa and mole were delicious with the pork. Haven’t had a bad meal at The Kestrel to date. Thanks team

Hayley Glover

Super cool place! Ambience and atmosphere is so cool, staff were all amazing and very knowledgeable. Food was really yum, with a good variety of coeliac safe gluten free options, but portion sizes were pretty small for the price tag! Nice spot for a special occasion.

Jess Lomberg

Delicious food. Heaps of gluten free/coeliac friendly options. Very friendly staff.

Hilde Finstad

Very good service. Good selection of gluten-free dishes and our celiac felt confident that the dishes were gluten-free. Best gnocchi I've ever tasted!

Linda Gribble

What a little gem! They have a number of Gluten Free dishes, which attracted me to try them in the first place. Food was absolutely delicious, staff super friendly and service was quick. Plenty of parking at rear, off Moselle Ave. This will definitely now be my "go to" local cafe.

Anna Speranskaia

Such amazing hospitality, they ran out of gluten free bread and had someone go out and get me some, thank you for a delicious meal team! Will be coming back :)

Guido Locher

First time here,friendly service,good gluten free options and Eggs Benedict best in a long time with good serving.

Tracey L

Delicious wine and food matched 6 course set menu. They even had a gluten free option. So good, we loved it.

Michelle Tumurchudur

Gluten free options for celiacs!

Marie & Darryl Fisher

Great Gluten free burger thank you☆

Sarah Gähwiler

Excellent food and drinks. Nice vibe. Very friendly staff. Food is very healthy, all freshly made and so yummie. They are vegetarian but lots of their dishes are vegan or can be made vegan. As far as I saw there are also many glutenfree options. I hope I can visit again sometime.

Flynt R

Fantastic food and so much of the menu is Gluten Free! Service was smashing, super friendly staff and very efficient. If I was staying in Auckland longer, I’d come back again.

Maria Miller

Thank you for your lovely service. I organised a team dinner for 19 here. From Chloe who I was texting to organise the event, to the staff on the night who were all smiles and patient even when I got confused with the bill at the end (totally me and my bad maths) and the efforts they made on a special vegetarian, non dairy, non gluten roast! Not to mention the beef roast they did for us mid week! And the great mocktails for those not drinking as well as a great selection of alcoholic options. All round made for a very lovely evening and some very full and happy people! Thank you!

Amy Eagles

Lovely service from Sophia. Knowledgeable on the coeliac-safe options and catered to the kids’ fussy requests

Trish Liuaga

Burger Burger is a standout choice for burger lovers, and both the Commercial Bay and Newmarket locations deliver consistently high-quality experiences. The Newmarket branch, located in the trendy Osbourne Lane, is perfect for a casual meal, pre-movie date, or Friday night with friends. The menu features classics like the Beef & Cheese, Pan-fried Fish, and Kiwi Burger, alongside sides such as curly fries and shoestring fries, all cooked to perfection and full of flavour. Service at the Newmarket spot is known for being friendly and efficient, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. The decor has a lively, cool vibe, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. Parking is convenient, with options nearby, and the area offers plenty of other eateries if you feel like exploring. Burger Burger Newmarket also caters to groups and events, making it easy to book a table or even host a party. With vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options available, there’s something for everyone. If you’re after delicious burgers, great service, and a vibrant setting, Burger Burger Newmarket is definitely worth a visit.

Had dinner last night at El Greco and we absolutely loved the experience. From the warm and friendly staff, to the comfortable outdoor seating, to the amazing food, everything was exceptional. We had a quiet dog and this was fine. Flat surfaces, so ok for wheelchairs too. Our fried has celiacs and this also was not a problem. I loved the Italian lagers (it was great to have another option, rather than just Peroni). The 7 ⭐️ Metaxa was similar to a Cognac, full of flavours and a great way to finish the night over dessert. Nice wine selections too. Really enjoyed all the food - souvlaki, squid, pasta. Lots of generous amounts of salad. My only feedback would be to only use vegetables that are in season. Brussel sprouts are not in season now, which means they’re probably cooked from frozen and we found them mushy. Apart from that we loved everything about dining here and would highly recommend it to others. Graci!

Megan Stericker

Delicious fried chicken (gluten free)! Really cool atmosphere and location.

Pravi S

Enjoyed a delicious few gluten free dishes. The decos are a great feel of Mexico.

Lori K.

Awesome service, good food and very accommodating for food allergies. Nice selection of Gluten free options. Our server, Tye and Chef Robin went above and beyond on great customer service. A nice welcome to New Zealand for us!

Alex Bell

The food, cocktails and service were fantastic. Lots of gluten free options including an amazing pad seuw. Also had the sticky ribs and wok veg which were also great. Would highly recommend.

Franklin v M

Had a great pizza here. Taste was very good and a nice touch to the pepperoni pizza was the parmesan cheese they added. It was nice that allergens could be taken into account, for example they had a gluten-free base, great.

Laus

Ok I’ve passed this place 1,000s of times but have never eaten here. Man I’ve been sleeping because it’s sooo delicious. I ordered the fried chicken poke bowl that was already gluten free, because I cannot pass up on gluten free fried chicken. UGH this was delicious. The sweet sauce they had on it, the half avo, the generous ginger, the chicken was crunchy. Could’ve had more rice, but overall, so delicious. We sat outside in the sun which was lovely, and sheltered from the wind. My daughter enjoyed the little playground down below. We also ordered fries on the side that were crunchy and delicious. Cabinet food also looked good - mainly sweet stuff and a lovely Carmel gluten free slice. But I was too full to order it. Would come again 10/10.

Brigitte Dunbar

We came for a team dinner. There were 7 of us. We highly rated the organic chicken and short rib. They were just delicious. One of our team members is a celiac and had a reaction from the chicken dish. Although she had specified that she was a celiac at the time of ordering, and asked the server delivering her meal to make sure, she was still "glutened". Unsure what went wrong there, but Giraffe may need to assess their processes when handling gluten.

Rebecca McFadzien

Had a lovely dining experience here recently - made extra special by the care and amazing service from our waitress, Lina. Thanks Lina! I’m coeliac, so I ordered a gluten free vege burger and fries (which are fried in a separate gluten free fryer). Big thanks to the team for taking the extra precautions to ensure it was safe for me to eat at Butger Burger Takapuna. I’ll be back!

Brendawyn Leeves

Great meals but the staff made the difference- very friendly, attentive and professional. Nothing was too much trouble and it was appreciated by our group. Dairy-free and gluten free options for one of our group were suggested, which was perfect.

Hamish Nicholls

Hey so, I can confirm that this burgerfuel isn’t coeliac safe. I am quite sore. That’s all

Paul Preston

Standard motorway auto stop. Clean and tidy. Pricey gluten free food.

Andrew Johnson (AJ)

Terrific serving sizes and great food with a variety of Mediterranean favorites. Prices are at the higher end - almost $40 for a tagine - but flavors are great and you're not going to leave hungry. They also do doggy bag take home boxes if you can't finish it. 🤣 My dining partner eats gluten free and commented that there's heaps on the menu if you're unable to eat gluten, which is great to know!

Leesa Schultz

The staff were very accommodating to our dietary requirement being gluten free. Amylee our waitress was very polite and helped with our food selection. The meals were delicious and tasty, compliments to the chefs. Most definitely come back again, so much to choose from. 🤗❤️
