Coeliac aware and great gf options! Loved the chicken sushi bowl! A bit hard to get a table in there because it’s so busy, but worth it.
I didn’t really love the Vietnamese loaded fries, but I’d say that’s just my preference.
Great coffee. Sat outside in the sun. We had a hashbrown stack with added halloumi, and a big brekkie with gluten free bread. Fuelled us for our hike later that day. It was delicious and highly recommend.
Food is okay.
Fryer is not suitable for coeliacs (despite steak) etc being listed as gf.
They will offer substitutes etc but maybe look into changing this? Items may be gf by ingredient but you shouldn't be labeling them as this if you put everything into the same fryer (worked hospo for years - it's not hard to differentiate and train staff on). You could make someone seriously sick. Clear labeling provides comfort for everyone.
Overall a good place for a bite but the service is also very rushed.
Gluten free/ coeliac.
Really helpful and knowledgeable. We ordered a non vege platter as a starter and were advised one element of this was not gf; this arrived in a separate dish which I appreciated.
Butter chicken and lamb bhuna were both delicious.
Recommend this restaurant for coeliac / gf.
Staff lovely. I’d eat here again!
Catered very well for Gluten Free and Dairy Free, the same as any other Thai restaurant does. Sadly though, they have no gluten free soy sauce so the meal was VERY bland.
Strongly suggest you buy some GF soy sauce. Your customers will appreciate it. :-)
Poor experience, waited from 7:30pm for a table and got seated at 8:30pm. Food didn’t come out till nearly 10pm. Chips on the menu say they were gluten free, then the waiter said they weren’t actually. No dairy free options either. The waiter was really condescending and rude after asking about gluten and dairy free options. The whole experience was rushed
I know that after so many great reviews, it's hard to believe such a poor one, but I can't understand all the good reviews. Our experience was very different. We ordered the gluten-free base, but that wasn't the issue. TBH, that was the best bit of the pizza. The toppings were different colours, but that's where the difference ended. The pineapple tasted like the peppers, which tasted like the mushrooms, which even tasted like the olives. And the cheese was stringy but also tasteless. The wine was cheap. Only $8. I don't know why I was surprised that it was dreadful. What on earth did I expect? The decor was dated, but at least we got a seat (which was comfy) and the meal (2x GF pizzas, 2x wine, 1x salad) cost $66. What a shame it wasn't slightly more expensive - I'd have happily paid more for a better meal. Sadly, a fresh batch of tourists roll into town daily and they want to eat pizza. They see La Toscana has good reviews. But, if you arevone of these tourists and only have one night in Te Anau, do yourself a favour and try a different restaurant. I wish I had. The guy who said he'd had better pizzas from Tesco was absolutely correct.
The food was truly authentic. Don't let the name and the way it looks scare you away. We very much enjoyed there vegetarian options and they were accommodating to our gluten free options.
It’s a cute shop with delicious pastries. We had the beef puff and gluten free banana muffin. As you can see in the picture, the puff is filled with so much beef. The chocolate shakes and hot chocolate were also yum! Very friendly service :)
