As a person with awkward dietary restrictions due to coeliac disease and disablin allergies, I often end up either not eating at all because I don't feel safe, or chosing pan fried fish and a green salad without dressing while those around me are enjoying feasts.
Not so at Raupo, where first the waiter and then the cooks went out of their way to understand my needs and make sure they could adapt the meal I chose to both avoid any undesireable repercussions and also to delight me.
I am very grateful. Everything was delicious. The three people with me all raved about their meals, too, and I cannot praise Raupo enough.
Your typical corner fish n chips shop. They do gluten free but didn't use a separate fryer (which they told me at till). Nice food - good size pieces of fish
Great food and beautifully cooked. Generous seafood portions and very tasty.
However: Waitress couldnât tell us anything about the dishes when we asked. We had to rely totally on reading the menuâs descriptions.
We were keen to do a desert but after giving us a menu again, waitress never came back to take our orders. So after waiting and seeing her go by many times we got up, paid and left and then went elsewhere.
Hence a lower rating for staff who should be trained to upsell and also know what the dishes are.
This restaurant does Cater to Coeliac clients in many mains, but only one desert option. (Would be nice to see sticky rice and mango as an option. )
We went at 5 pm, so restaurant wasnât busy.
Food was excellent and reasonable priced. (Eggs Benedict perfectly cooked with a tasty sprout twist.). Staff understood about gluten intolerance and were friendly.
