Top 50 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots Across Otago

I was recommended to go here as a coeliac and wasn’t expecting a buffet style eatery - the food was okay.I went there twice and the first time the hot cabinet had only GF trays of food (which made me comfortable), but then the next day I came for breakfast and they did have one non-gf tray in the same cabinet. This made me uneasy, especially as the tray was the second row in, meaning the spoonfuls of food would have to travel over other gf trays and potentially contaminate them.

Good old Ferburger. Can't miss it when you go to Queenstown. Service is super quick and has gluten free options.

Bronwyn Bassett-Smith

Unreal Gluten Free options, warm & inviting Baileys Hot Chocolate a stand out, Kat our waitress most helpful & super friendly

Patrizia Bordignon

Very popular place. It was just on the outskirts of the main city area, within comfortable walking distance. Being gluten free I was impressed with the offerings available to me. Lovely vibes. Highly recommend.

Maximus Marioli

Had the pleasure of dinning at the Public kitchen and bar with my partner. Our waiter Ed throughly explained the menu to us. My partner is a celiac and Ed brought out a seperate menu for her and talked us through it and even gave us some delicious recommendations. The service was great and the food and drink were excellent. Lovely establishment and a great waiter. Thank you Ed!!!

As a coeliac and lactose intolerant person I was happy to find a place that was able to safely cater for breakfast and lunch! I didn’t love my breakfast, but I LOVED the chicken Vietnamese salad I had for lunch. Like it was the best lunch I had in my New Zealand travels. They are coeliac aware and take extra care with gluten free meals. Nice staff members and pleasant atmosphere. Enjoyed my coffee too!

Rachel Dolan

I went in sooo hungry about 1.30pm as I couldn't find any gluten-free options anywhere, and was very happy to see a good selection. I got a delicious,giant brunch (or was it breakfast?) muffin with egg, bacon, and hollandaise, as well as a slice of caramel and white chocolate cheesecake, which tasted absolutely divine! It was huge, too, and I just finished it off after dinner for dessert. Thanks so much for having great gluten-free options rather than just the obligatory chocolate brownie or caramel slice that most cafes have. I think I'll pop in tomorrow before we leave to get some more cheesecake!

Luke Thompson

Sarah Capon

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

sam scott

Great afternoon view over the bay, I had a gluten free fish and chips which were cooked in a separate fryer which is fantastic as a coeliac. Fish batter was light and crunchy and shoestring chips were great. Very relaxing spot. Thank you

Natasha Oliver

Lots of vegan options, very clear on the menu and in their own vegan section. We were really surprised by the jackfruit taco, as I'm not usually a jackfruit fan, but it was amazing. The churrros are also a must try. Pros: Vegan (and gluten-free) churros!, Heaps of vegan options, Great mocktails (and cocktails)

Arthur Verseux

A little pricey but definitely the best pizza in town (I tried them all) also the gluten free base is quite decent

Tariq Rea

Great fresh burgers and friendly staff. Had two rounds because the first burger was so nice Accommodating of Gluten Free (celiac) for the burgers. Chips are GF but unfortunately cooked in the same fryer as crumbed things.

Tom Heijs

Gluten free options available!

Rachel Waid

Absolutely delicious. Many gluten free options, I went with the grain salad that the barista recommended and it was absolutely delicious. Coffee is from a local roaster. It would for sure be a regular spot if I lived close!

Perry Cumberland

Absolutely fantastic slightly old fashioned food. Guaranteed a good feed every visit and excellent Gluten Free options, best I've come across actually

C C

Very delicious, good price. The best fried fish (gluten free) I've ever had!

Really good food and excellent drinks. Staff are super friendly and the food is superb. We had quite a few people in our party who have lots of food intolerances and they catered exceptionally well to them! Gluten free, dairy free etc. Really tasty food and nice location.

Gemini McNabb

10/10 would reccomend. super inclusive for the vegans and the gluten free. service is amazing as well

Nico Sierra

Amazing food and great for coeliacs. Plenty of gluten free options and they asked if we were coeliac or intolerant. So good that we went back the next day. We shared bacon and egg pie, spinach and feta scone and cauliflower pizza; next day we both had eggs bene.

Sara Renee

Food was delicious and very easy to make gluten free!

Moinho cafe, recently established in Queenstown’s Frankton area, is an extension of the renowned Padaria do Moinho bakery founded in Cuiabá. The Queenstown branch continues the tradition of quality artisanal baking, offering a tempting range of breads, cakes, and savory treats in a relaxed, welcoming café setting. The menu blends Brazilian and South American flavors with New Zealand café classics and caters to various dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Portions are generous-one cheese scone was enough for two-and the cabinet food looks appealing. The staff are friendly and accommodating, and the cappuccino we had was well made. The café’s casual, family-friendly atmosphere makes it a great spot for breakfast, brunch, or a relaxed lunch. Our experience was enhanced by the clean premises and reasonable prices. Moinho cafe stands out for its fresh, quality baked goods, friendly service, and unique Brazilian flair, making it a welcome addition to Queenstown’s café scene.

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.

A really nice cafe. Food is very tasty and they have healthy options, and also gluten free options. The coffee was really good too. It is very central and the staff were super friendly and quick. Highly recommend.

Jacqueline Woods

Really good coffee and a great selection of gluten free food. I had a frittata, which was tasty, but I’d probably try something off the menu next time. The gf yo-yo was delicious!

LINDA HINE

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.

I went to this place with 11 others for my birthday. I ordered 4 drinks at the start and then food from a young staff member. I was very clear about ordering Ice Coffee and checking that they did not put syrup or sugar in it. I also put in an order for lunch on the same table and checked that no sugar was in what we ordered. I also cleared with the staff that it would be okay to share a non sugar, gluten free birthday cake after lunch. The staff arrived with the other drinks and an Iced Chocolate (laden with syrup, and whipped cream), which my daughter took, as she had ordered this just after me. I then checked with the young waiter to let him know that I was still waiting on my Iced Coffee, not an Iced Chocolate and pointed to my sister and her husbands drinks - their Iced coffees. About 10 minutes later an older staff member arrived with the original till docket and another syrupy creamy Iced Chocolate to insist I had ordered it and should have it. I let her know I did not want it and was waiting on my sugar free Iced Coffee - again pointing to the Iced Coffees. She showed me the docket and insisted she was right and that I had paid for it and had to have it. One of our group was confused at the ladies insistence we drink it and thought it was an 'extra' drink (she was at the other end of the table said she would take it). The waitress said I could not have my Iced Coffee unless I ordered it again - the worst service I have had for a long time and such a lack of regard for the customer!

K Dean

Eggs-cellent little cafe for breakfast and all day hot and cold foods. Good selection of cakes to have with a hot tea or coffee. My wife enjoyed the Bennie - poach egg on a stack of bacon and hash brown and I enjoyed my breakfast gluten free pie. Really recommend if in the area.

Jaia Jann Carla Bumatay

Beautifully furnished with a great atmosphere and helpful staff. They have gluten-free options clearly listed on the menus, which is really helpful. When asked for further information about processes, the lady seating us told us that they have separate fryers for the gluten free food which helped my husband with Coeliac disease feel more safe. We weren’t that hungry so we just shared a cider and a GF chicken burger with fries. The chicken was nice and crispy while also still juicy.

Olivia Silvester

I thought the mushroom risotto I had was super delicious! It's gluten free/celiac friendly :) It has small pieces of mushroom and it's not overly mushroomy so even if you're not a big fan of them (like me) it's overall very yum. My family got the big breakfast, caeser salad, and chicken burger with fries and they were all happy with their meals. I would suggest you add the allergens such as gf to your menu please. The risotto only had (v) next to it.

adrienne howell

Really great place for dinner! Lots of gluten free options and great drinks. The service is outstanding! We went here 2 nights in a row as we loved it so much the first night that we couldn’t leave Dunedin without going again.
