Top 50 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots Across New Zealand

The best gluten free fish and chips I’ve ever had, even better to peace of mind that the whole place is fully gf, and the staff are very knowledgeable. We enjoyed taking these down to eat on the lakefront, will definitely be back again!

I was there an hour 40mins ago and bought brownie cheesecake slice and a Mince & Cheese pie which they heated up from cold for me, made today apparently. Together they cost me $17.50!! There are no prices displayed so if you're going here expecting to be satisfied on a typical NZ bakery budget then think again, the gluten free premium is rife here. Do note the lack of stars on this review reflects only on the pie of which I'm disappointed, I am half way through the pie now and I still haven't tasted the filling. For what I'm guessing is a $9 pie it's not up to par compared to much better pies in the Wellington region that are cheaper and packed to the brim with filling. Speaking of which I've gotten to the filling at last and it tastes great but still no sign of cheese. Upon finishing the pie now my conclusion is there's less than 1 teaspoon of cheese in this pie. Sorry guys but my experience of a most basic pie is lacklustre. Unlikely this review will directly affect your high rating but pie wanters should know what to expect.

I have celiac disease and ordered a variety of things from the gf menu woth no issues! The spring rolls were not what I expected, but ended up being better than I expected. They were so good I could eat them every night. The fish batter was excellent and the hot dog was good as well. The building itself looks run down but the kitchen was clean, the prices were excellent and the service was wonderful. Seriously was the best experience I've ever had at any gf fish and chip shop anywhere!!!

Emily The Coeliac

Could not recommend the attic enough! They are amazing and so careful!

Patrick Montague

Nice food, nice people, and lots of gluten free options

Nicole Fröhlich

I was happy to find a gluten free place to eat. I enjoyed the food and the service.

Sarah Roberts

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

Dawn B

Amazing place me and my family are celiac and it’s the best gluten free pizza we’ve ever eaten. Fantastic variety almost everything has a gluten free option and very high quality worth every penny :)

Nolwenn Chevrot

🫶🏻 We had a wonderful experience at Miss Kangsta! As a gluten-free (coeliac!) restaurant, it’s absolutely fantastic — delicious food, fresh ingredients, and so many creative options. The staff was welcoming and very knowledgeable about dietary needs, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone looking for amazing gluten-free dining in Wellington!

Sarah Capon

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.

Great service, delicious fish every time and brilliant that they do gluten free fish and chips (separate oil).

Loren

SO good! And 100% gluten free 🤩 Best fresh and nourishing lunch in the mount

Andrew Jones

best fish n chips ive had in ages batter was beuty gluten free also

Hannah Lang

Loved my experience here the staff were super kind and helpful, I rang beforehand and was made to feel super welcome and when I arrived I was told all the safety measures put in place such as a seperate gf fryer and working area. I had the fried chicken burger it was okay, the bread tasted a bit sconish and the chicken was a little underseasoned but the Kumara fries were insanely good! Would love to try one of the other burgers :)

Bronwyn Bassett-Smith

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

Potts Jane

Yes, especially for gluten-free food.

Andrew H.

Amazingly quick service. Gluten free options.. delicious!

Ben Smith

Quality fish'n'chips, have a gluten free fryer so the coeliac in the family didn't miss out. Super busy at peak times. Recommend ordering online for pick up.

Sarah Capon

Great place to get a burger for a coeliac, though only if you go on a day the buns are fresh! I went twice, and the first time my gf bun was really nice, but the second time it completely broke apart within the first two bites, making it too hard to eat without a knife and fork. These are things we deal with as gluten free people anyway, so it wasn’t surprising, but a little disappointing after such a good bun the time before. Otherwise the burgers were great, the chicken nuggets were really nicely cooked, and the chips were yum too!

Maya Shiraiwa

Such a cool spot on the corner of cuba! Great prices for generous portions and a lovely atmosphere. Staff are always lovely and so good about dietaries! I’m coeliac, dairy and nut free and feel very safe eating here (disclaimer: obviously there’s still risks!), would definitely recommend for vegans and vegetarians too! Only thing I’ve noticed after coming here a few times is the gluten free pasta can be way too salty at times. (Don’t think this is always the case but I think it might be from over salting the water as gf pasta absorbs so much more than regular pasta & it’s not the sauce that’s too salty).

Sarah Capon

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!

Time Consuming

Amazing service from Jess. She took great care of our table tonight and was very careful about our coeliac needs and allergies. Thank you so much Jess for the great energy and care. Also thank you to the kitchen for the delicious food

Jake Preston-Marshall

Brilliant place for coeliacs, but also for 'normal' people 🙂 Friendly, helpful staff, nice atmosphere and each dish exceeded our expectations!

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!!!

Angela Cameron

New owners are lovely and accommodating. They seem to understand about gluten free and keeping things separate as not to poison anyone. Affordable (as much as they can be in this climate) food is always nice, fat drained and hot.

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.

Marigona Rakovica

I don’t usually do good or bad reviews but I can’t help but do so for this one. :) my lunch was so delicious and I can’t stop thinking about it. What made it even better was the service! I went to order lunch early on my break and the lady was kind enough to explain to me that the chicken was not ready and that it had to be cooked to the right temperatures so that’s it’s safe to eat. This was great to hear. I waited, ordered and got a free cookie for waiting! Really appreciated and gluten free which I need as I’m Coleac. So thank you to the staff today. :) will definelty be back sooner!

Victoria Lawson

My husband and I went here because we were in the area and saw that it had good reviews. I am gluten free (coeliac). The menu was clearly labelled and almost the whole menu was gluten free, including unique options like fried chicken and onion bahji. They were very friendly and welcoming. They also seemed very mindful of dietary requirements, including cross-contamination. We had the cassava fries, 31 masala chicken curry, goat curry and paneer saagwala. Everything was delicious and flavourful. I would especially recommend the goat curry. Thank you for a lovely meal!!

Chris Burrows

Finally gluten free fish and chips and other food. So clean, fresh and yummy. Just had battered Tarahiki, omg I'm in heaven. Will now be my go to place.

Rebecca Greenslade

Epic gluten free and vegetarian pizza with heaps of toppings. So good, thanks guys!

Rashi Narang

We had a wonderful experience here. The team was super helpful and warm, the food was wonderful and the service was absolutely amazing. Very cool, differentiated menu with options for vegan and gluten free. A big shout out to Sidhak and team for keeping the bar high and for your warmth and help :)

Connie Boston

Absolutely love the vibe here. The staff are incredible, food is always spot-on, and they have lots of coeliac-safe options!

Bevan Wait

Gluten free Mecca 🙌🏼

Kathryn Gilbert

Almost everything is gluten free. great food and cocktails.

MayaPlanas Family

Excellent and delicious Gluten Free menu (they can provide dairy free options as well). Very friendly staff. Environment is classic and relax. Would truly recommend.

Richard Hall

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

Rachel Andersen

Loved it. Delicious gluten free, dairy free and soy free meals.

Hayley Glover

Amazing spot! Fab for coeliacs / gf folk and anyone else to enjoy. Hubby said his burger was the best smash burger he's ever had, and the milkshakes were very naughty and yum 😍 Service was so so friendly, the guys working here are absolutely wonderful.

Jasmaine Martin

I love that it is gluten free it is my second time getting a burger from you guys and it’s delicious gf pineapple fritter delicious as well

Anna Reed

Travelled down the north island with a coeliac this evening and found this place on the Coeliac New Zealand FB page. I phoned and we were told they have a separate area. Ordered and got two packages- one for the gluten folks and another for the coeliac. both were absolutely delicious and this place was super busy. it's a good hour from where we live but we'll be coming back up here for dinner. LOVE that this place is safe for coeliacs.

Daryll Edlin

I haven't had fish and chips takeaway since being diagnosed celiac. This was worth the wait. Highly recommended. 👍

F1owers

Tonight we had the pleasure of enjoying gluten free 'fish and chips' from Catch & Co. Everything was crispy and perfectly cooked (we had gurnard, onion rings, potato fritters and chips). What I love most is that both my daughter and I, who are coeliac, can enjoy our meals without worry. Catch & Co has become our go-to spot for a satisfying, safe, and delicious meal.

Roger WADDELL

Great variety of food, including gluten-free.

Sarah Capon

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.

Nikki Smith

Delicious and did not give any issues for my spouse who has celiac. Great portion sizes. Highly recommend. The area they're placed in is cute and space can be limited if you're a party bigger than 4.

Nicci Thomson

The food quality has dropped substantially since the place was sold. I had been going here regularly for the past ten years. I have been telling myself the substantial drop in quality over the past couple of years are one offs, but every time I go, the food is poorly made, doesn't include what was stated in the menu. The smoothie I had been ordering for ten years was poorly made, watery like every time I have had it over the past year. The fries that were supposed to come with a gluten free vegan aioli came with sauce without telling me. Whatever I got today it was definitely not gluten free and I will be spending the rest of the day sick. So many happy memories of this place it was hard to give up but its clear from the owners comments they could care less and are happy to take our money and ruin one of the best eateries in hamilton very sad. I am relocating to a different city and I guess at least I don't have to worry about missing this place anymore :(

Carrie Jahn Rohrbach

We stopped into this punk cafe after a movie and were delighted that it was still open and had gluten free options. Seems like a great place to just hang out and enjoy the vibes of the city!

Rebecca McFadzien

My boyfriend & I had a lovely dining experience here recently. Our waitress Hannah was so attentive to our dietary restrictions (Coeliac) and it was clear she genuinely cared. The same goes for the talented chefs in the kitchen, who were super patient and understanding and took the Coeliacs/gluten allergy very seriously. Thank you all for making this such a lovely date night for us! We’ll definitely be back.

Linda

Delicious food. Everything is celiac safe. Excellent cocktails and wines. Friendly service
