Top 19 Gluten-Free Bars to Experience in Queenstown

Sarah Capon

Best lunch spot for coeliacs visiting Queenstown! So many fun and tasty gluten free options and they are very coeliac aware.

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 .

Kateryne

Delicious food, great service, and they were able to accommodate for a gluten allergy!!Ordered the Julio’s corned beef carnitas hash w/out the cheese (absolutely delicious), GF eggs benny w/ streaky bacon, and a side of the potatoes. Also got an iced latte and a coffee which were nice.

We ate here on our holiday, what a great place. Lots of gluten free options and the food and helpful staff were A1. Thanks for a great lunch.

We almost walked in through the service entrance but were gently redirected to the correct door by an actual service member. Without a booking, there was only bar seating available but we were pleased to be seated immediately. They have a ton of non-alcoholic and gluten free options! We enjoyed the salt and pepper squid, salmon and chicken sandwich. Definitely would have liked a seat looking out the window so be sure to get a reservation!

We booked our wedding dinner here for our small group of 8. Upon our arrival we were very warmly welcomed and given 2 glasses of bubbles on the house. The service was 5 star with a special mention to our server Harriett, who really went above and beyond to give us a run down on the menu and recommendations and was able to very confidently cater for our gluten and dairy free guests. The food was outstanding and everyone left full and happy. Harriet even helped us get a group photo out the front by the water, which turned out to be one of the best group shots of the trip. Thanks again and we will be recommending you to anyone we know heading to Queenstown! Duncan and Jo

The Sherwood Queenstown has become our “home away from home” accommodation when we are on holiday in Queenstown. The staff go above and beyond to welcome us and make us feel at home. We love the natural environment with superb mountain and lake views and the cosy, original decor. The food is superb from breakfast through to dinner. It features local, seasonal produce from the hotel gardens and reflects originality, thought and great tastes. We were particularly impressed with a family celebration where Chris, the chef, and his staff catered superbly for various dietary requirements for gluten free and Fodmap guests. The restaurant decor and setting are warm and inviting with an open fire in winter and great outdoor seating - yes, with a heater and rugs! A big thank you to Hayley, Chris, Sophie and all the staff for making another stay so special!

Honestly, worst experience in not just Queenstown but New Zealand overall. First it took forever to get seated and the Resturant was not busy at all. This should’ve been the first red flag. We ordered rose and a mocktail + water. They brought us a random bottle of white wine which we of course sent back and had to ask again for water. I ordered the bean dip as an appetizer & a Gerard Burger with chips (all gluten free). Come to find out the chips are not gf, even though it says it available option on menu. Then i was served a chicken burger which took forever to come, sent it back for the Gerard beef burger that I ordered. Finally while waiting for my burger the bean dip came. Literally it was like beans from a can that no one cared to heat up and the chips were so stale. I ate a few since we had been there for so long by then I was starving. Finally the Berger came! The waitress came to ask how everything was and we kindly gave feedback about the experience. Mostly the horrible bean dip, she said she would have the kitchen check the batch of chips. As we were checking out, they never comped the bean dip even though we clearly did not eat 97% of it. Just horrible experience, the standards are high in this area and they failed miserably. Don’t go here!

We hosted a group of 30 here and it was the perfect spot. The service was great and the outdoor area was perfect for a large group. Super chill atmosphere and beautiful. We took public transit from queenstown and it was a beautiful drive through a canyon and we ordered a sharing platter which everyone was very impressed by. They were able to accommodate gluten free diet too.

Great craft beers! Their Porter was top shelf, the golden age was also first rate. Difficult to find a seat inside, but comfortable and not too loud. Seating is setup in a sort of "forced social" arrangement with large tables that you share with other patrons. But this makes for starting up conversations an easier affair. Lots of outside seating for warmer weather. Quite a lot of food options and yet another place with plenty of gluten free choices. Chicken and hamburger we're vey good. Overall a great experience.

When I asked them to clean the steam wand and milk jug as I am a coeliac and they also do oat milk, they were very happy to do so but as usual came with the “all care but no responsibility” spiel.

Navinit Sharma

Second time here .. had a vegetarian bagel for breakfast which was the best i ever had.. great gluten free options as well…staffs were really friendly..definitely recommend…

Heather Sibet

One of the best gluten free buns I’ve had. Also highly recommend the KFC chicken burger if you don’t have celiac, if was incredible. Beef burger and fries just ok.

Charlotte B

Absolutely fantastic. Had a range of brilliant Gluten Free options. The GF sliders were basically two full burgers, fish was amazing and chips were some of the best we've ever had. Highly recommend!

Zedski Nedski

Just what we needed. A group of 6, able to get a few different dishes. Tacos were tasty. Had the market fish. Steak fajitas was a hit. Gluten free churros impressive, especially the hit of chilli in the chocolate sauce. Chilli margarita hit the spot with candied chilli. But all not excessively spicy!

Ali Nash

Fun quiz night, great food. Good gluten free options

Fiona Lawton

Friendly staff and great atmosphere - big screens, fire place, upstairs pool table, fußall and shuffle board. Happy hour prices are just a discount (no half price specials etc) with a food special for each day of the week. We went on Wings Wednesday and spicy was the order!! Did not disappoint. A layer of clothing had to be removed 🥵 Ask the staff for dietary requirements - gluten free veg Tex Mex Nachos were delicious! Wine selection is reasonable too. A great Q’town spot!

Francis Smith

We had a disappointing experience at this establishment. We specifically requested a gluten-free sandwich, which the attendant confirmed was gluten-free. However, after consuming it, my gluten-free partner became severely ill, indicating improper food preparation. Although my own dish was satisfactory, we were overcharged. The overall experience left us feeling frustrated and unsatisfied. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend this place and will not be returning.
