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.
I got a $18 burger and I feel like I ate a $36 burger filling and tasty and gluten free. My partner bought a fish burger and finished the whole thing (that's a 1st) and those chips where mean as! 💯
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.
A cafe with a great atmosphere by the sea
I was able to talk to my friend fairly slowly.
Not great Gluten Free pizza for how expensive it is. The regular pizzas look amazing but the gluten free pizza and crust wasnt much better than dominoes
If you are strolling around the city and want to try Indian food with great authentic ambience and visual Artefacts, look no further. Plenty of options in the menu, gluten free and dairy free options available too. All n all nice food! 💙

Excellent service. A nice food menu & drinks menu choice. Good atmosphere. Good selection of Gluten-free choices. Prices for food & drink getting up there though!
Amazing atmosphere and service, but the star was the epic vegan food. Heaps of gluten free options too. We over ordered and have no regrets. Wish we had a place like this back home.
Booked today for lunch thinking would beat the usual Mother’s Day rush - so did everyone else as restaurant was packed but staff were amazing rushing around taking orders - checking on drinks etc and the food was up to usual standard. My friend is gluten intolerant and waitress spent tine talking through the menu with her. Excellent lunch - thank you Old Vicarage

Calamari and cauliflower were amazing, great flavour and the dipping for the calamari was particularly inspired.
Got the chowder for a main with extra garlic bread for a main, poor waitress forgot until she came back to the table but rectified fairly quickly. Chowder was delicious but nuclear in temperature. We got the pasta for the other main with added fish - the fish was perfectly done, but the pasta was very one dimensional and unbalanced.
The staff were very quick to rectify when I asked for it to be coeliac friendly, big kudos to the waiter that stepped in to get that fixed up. Overall pretty good, but got stuck between two loud tables in a corner while the rest of the restaurant appeared empty.
Really high quality food. I had the entree ribs and gluten free chicken burger. The burger was much better than Burger Fuel and worth spending the extra on. Chicken was juicy and perfectly cooked. Friendly staff. We were travelling in a group from Auckland for a long weekend and stopped for a good meal before and after our planned adventure in the hills.
This place offers a touch of class in a unique environment. We had a birthday brunch there recently, it was superb. What was one of the best moments was seeing my daughters face when her gluten free pancake arrived looking just as good as normal food and tasting amazing. There was a lot of choice to meet various dietary requirements and all looked good. we will definitely be back.
Our waiter was outstanding, we missed his name, a gentleman with a bead, he was attentive but not intrusive. The 2 person tables were well spaced so you could quietly chat, the kings choice meals was brilliant, I usually have trouble finding food as vegan and gluten free, but this was expertly catered for.
Staff was nice but we weren’t given our entree and had to ask again for our sides we had ordered. Also things labelled gluten free on menu are not safe for celiacs so would not recommend for celiacs.
Delicious pizza! Really tender pork and tasty pineapple. Gluten free bases available. Staff are very very busy and there was a fair bit of wait time for food and drinks. Unlikely to get an outside table if you’re a walk-in.
China Kitchen is our go to for the best chinese in Christchurch. Their food is delicious, plentiful and noe comes for the most part as Gluten-free.
Staff are always friendly and helpful.

There is something for everyone here, my recommendation is go early or go late as it gets extremely busy and can sometimes be hard to find a table. So many gluten free options at the 9 different restaurants, we loved this as our daughter could order pizza while ordered spicy Thai food.

First of all.. the customer service is incredible! When you place an order over the phone - you feel like you are ringing a friendly mate.
I ordered 5 burgers, 4 x the Easterly & 1 x the Hawaiian Laden (celiac friendly) & 4 Fries. I surprised my fiancé and his mates after a long day laying a new driveway! They all were like OMG (you’re amazing!) earned serious brownie points haha THANKS guys! We will be back.. I was just asked again where I got the burgers again! So tasty!
We ate at The Goldfinch for the first time today and it was fantastic. We went for lunch and had the calamari, mushroom tacos, and eggplant followed by tiramisu and the chocolate treasure desserts. Everything was delicious. The calamari was the best we’ve ever had! All of the dishes were great. The flavours were unique and interesting and so tasty. They have several options for people who have to be gluten or dairy free and those who are vegetarian. The service was attentive and the atmosphere was lovely. They also had great music playing. We will definitely go back!
The food was delicious with a lot it gluten free and veg forward options. The music was nondescript jazz and I really feel like updating that would given a better vibe but all in all would highly recommend.
If ya want your meat to full off the bone (as it should). This is the place. clean tables and seats i would liked to of have the time to dinein. After seeing the venue in person
the sausages where unexpectedly good and the gluten free burger bun was better that expected
Could not tell you what we enjoyed the most as it was all on par with it's self
Went to order a cheese cake. And the guy behind the bar kindly remind us there's gluten in base and gave us alternative options 👌👌👌.
I would say. 10 stars. But google only lets ua put 5
BEAUTIFUL dinner with friends, environment absolutely popping off, slayed the house down with their food --WHICH can ALL be made gluten and dairy free! Had one tiny mistake with an order but the workers handled perfectly as we got free tacos..!?? Service impeccable, fast and insanely delicious, 10/10 favourite spot in Chch
I went to this place for lunch with a few friends it was absolutely delicious! one of the rare places that accommodates to coeliacs, which was really nice to see. will definitely be coming back with some friends or even by myself! would absolutely recommend the pork fried rice for those coeliac friends.
Wonderful service and the best corn fritters in town. I’m coeliac and they cater well for that
A must try, I usually dine in but today I picked up a takeaway
Excellent atmosphere, Very clean and very modern, fantastic for families of all ages. kids menu was great, even had a area for kids to play. staff very polite & professional, and very quick to deal with any matter that is raised. Toilet's very clean and new looking. Food was great, they have a great range of food and cater for Gluten free customers, this cobb & co was definitely Value for money and a great experience, I will be definitely visiting again soon to try the other dish's from their menu.

I had a lunch meeting today and decided to go to Aikmans. Great atmosphere, Guinness on tap and great service. Soph was bubbly and funny with a great knowledge of the menu for gluten free clients
Really average service and meals. This place has definitely gone down hill. Ordered a salad with no croutons (gluten) arrived with croutons had to wait for a replacement by which time the entire table had finished their meals and I ate alone. Absolutely no apology at all. Coke was flat. Chips which have always been a favourite at joes garage were not pleasant at all. Will not be returning.
Food is always fresh and fantastic and reasonable price for the quality, great cabinet selection when you’re on the go. And an amazing gluten free range. The service is always great, passengers is such a great hidden gem.
