I walked in and it really is the dream for a gluten free person. I highly recommend taking a look if your gluten free

Sam Goodin

Avocado on toast was so good 👍 - gluten free is a bonus. Thanks guys

100/10 - I am convinced there is no better sweet treat on earth. Everyday at 3pm my colleagues and I wander down to riverside and try find the last Millionaire Crunch—if not already sold out. Countries would go to war over the quality of this caramel. Gluten free and not trying to charge extra arm and a leg - what a breath of fresh air! Will see you again tomorrow and until my last day.

One of the best meals of our trip. Octopus starter followed by Blue Warehou (fish special)/lamb (all superbly cooked) and orange cake. Coeliac friendly with excellent cocktails and a great selection of wines. What’s not to like? 10/10

Chauntelle Marr

Gluten free french toast

As a gluten free person Lucianos is a dream with heaps of cabinet and menu items catering to those with a gf diet. Coffee was fantastic. I can see why it’s so busy all the time. Parking was a tad difficult and I could see that people couldn’t find seats hence just 4 stars for atmosphere

Nicole Graf

Have visited 3-4 times just in the past year, always excellent service, yummy cocktails and great food: tasty, high quality meat cooked beautifully that just keeps coming, plus a selection of yummy side dishes. Really appreciate how well they cater for coeliac customers too.

Di Crawford-Errington

Beautiful food, beautiful people. Great options for those with allergies and coeliacs. Definitely will be back.

In short, I’ve been here twice and I’d choose to dine elsewhere in chch in places I know do a much better experience for this price. I don’t have pictures from our visit but they wouldn’t justify anything anyway. The truffle fries had no truffle, just pecorino cheese on top to make them look like truffle fries, a common hack/ trick. The gluten free pizza base could do with some work/improvements, we’ve definitely had better. The kids menu items are $20 which is so expensive for what you get. We ordered the kids macaroni, and for that portion (the size of a bread and butter plate in a small cast iron sizzler) it would cost $3 to make and they’re charging $20, already steep for a kids meal so I expected it to be amaaaazing. It also came out on a sizzling plate, from a kids menu!? Why would you serve a piping hot cast iron plate to children? It makes absolutely no sense. The staff could do with some major training on the drinks list, it’s a small wine list and wouldn’t take very long to teach the staff what is what, they knew nothing about wine whatsoever. The flavour of our pizza was ok, the beef cheek was lovely, they also have a sparking red wine which was new for us and delicious (even if the waitress didn’t know if it was actually sparkling red wine). All in all I’d choose other restaurants over this next time for sure. There just aren’t enough redeeming factors.

The Breakfast Burger is delicious! The tasty patty came adorned with hash-brown sticks, on a bun with cheez melted onto it. Menu includes smoothies, milkshakes, housemade ginger ale, hot chocolate; buddha bowl, onion rings, daily soup, breakfast plate and more. Shop shelves have many interesting products and include some good things for travellers, such as peanut-butter sachets, oatmilk powder and containers of pâté and “fish” salad. Lots of sweet things to choose from. Chiller has takeaway sandwich filling, coleslaw, Dunedin-made cheezy spreads, etc. Appetizers and gift boxes available to take away. Spices, soup mixes, fresh bread and ciabatta buns, handmade soaps and many gluten-free items. Cabinet is full of fabulous sandwiches, wraps, savoury piesand many baked treats. I’ve tried the Pinkalicious slice and iced carrot-cake cupcake - both scrumptious. No animal products anywhere in the store. Catering, wholesale and online shop available.

Overpriced for the experience. Two people finished their mains before everyone received their meal, the gluten free option just had carbs removed entirely (not substituted) and wasn’t gluten free as our friend got sick.

Sarah Hamzah

Delicious sweet and savory crepes, and they can do gluten free.

Caroline

Beautiful food - fantastic flavours, original combinations, and great options for gluten free vegetarians. Highly recommended.

Absolutely stunning cake visually. Mums 80th. Exactly what I was expecting. Best tasting fun free cake ever!! had 14 people most with diet limitations, gluten, diary , nut free. Can't thankyou enough, cake was devoured! Will have to order one to take to the ozzy family next time

Shayne Brown

Went for lunch. When we arrived only one table occupied, but three that needed clearing. Staff chatting in the corner basically ignored us. No indication of whether it was table service or order at counter. Ordered gluten free meal. It seemed okay, but later I had all the symptoms of having been glutened. Probably cross contamination due to poor food handling practices. We won’t be back.

Josh Gray

Always good, love the blue burger and the American and also the classic cheese. Gluten free tenders now available which are just as delicious. If you are GF watch out as the cola has gluten.

Rae Ward

Ordered a gluten free, beef, ham and extra cheese pizza tonight. Wonderful service, helpful on the phone, very prompt delivery and pizza was perfect. Yummy. Thank you Guys.

Izzy Byrne-Ladbrook

Pretty good. Gluten free was actually gluten free. Left massive crust though

Jack Andrews

Great as a Gluten/Dairy free option

I went to belfast tonight. The 4 young blokes were professional and great at their jobs. built the best pizzas I've had in years, made kaiapoi dominos look like Muppets. My wife's gluten-free because she's a celiac. They were very careful to keep her pizza separated as well, and they cut it with a clean cutter. I enjoy pizza !🍕 I'd go as far as to say they made the best pizza I've ever eaten! A fare amount of everything on it. Not like kaiapoi, where it's more base and sauce than toppings. Thanks guys your boss should give you a raise because word of mouth is going to bring people in. Top work

Jane Lush

Incredibly delicious! And he was able to do gluten-free crepes and waffles! We're so pleased to have found this place :-)

Rubiana Lagatule

They're gr8 place 2 buy pizza & gr8 prices & selection + gluten free 🙂

Keely Harpcliffe

The best brisket nachos and that smash burger! Both gluten free and the taste took me back to the 90s. That mustard and quality of ingredients. You can taste the love poured into each meal as they created it. Definitely a new favourite for us 😋🍴♥️

RJ Law

Great clean pizza kitchen and service from the sole worker with 10 plus customers lined up!! offers gluten free. Very impressive pizzas and experience

I have bought two birthday cakes from Divine Cakes in Hornby and so far been a good experience good service and value for money.Only two things they can improve would be to have less things on the side counters and in the future if they could have on the go gluten and dairy free birthday cakes.
