Loren

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

Andrea Gore

Great good! Jay was a great server and had good food knowledge of intolerances and food preferences (coeliac and vegan)

Daryll Edlin

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

Tayla Cole

Staff are super friendly, & the gluten free food was the best I have had.

Keiron Adlington

Have been here before and enjoyed the experience so thought we’d give it another go. Smashed Avocado Bagel (with Salmon as an add-on) was generous and the salmon portion very generous. Bagel was very tough to cut with a knife though but maybe being gluten free had something to do with that? Very tasty though. We also had the Poke Bowl which was underwhelming. Not the traditional bowl at all, as it was on a plate. No sign of coriander in the rice, no kewpie mayo, no crispy shallots and no sweet chilli (all were advertised on the menu). Pretty disappointing for $32.90 and our two meals and bottled juice made it an $80 lunch.

Vendel Hansen

Good gluten free pizza

Nathaniel Moore

Great gluten free options!

Matt Kelly

It’s always difficult eating out when gluten free but there’s so many GF options!!! The girl working out the front really sold it to us! Platter was awesome but make sure to starve yourself before going as it’s a huge portion! Ha!

olivia jordon

the gamberia pasta was absolutely beautiful, aswell as the cubano cocktail. being gluten & dairy free, it’s hard for me to come across restaurants that have my dietary options but the staff was excellent. will definitely visit again for dinner when I’m back at the mount.

Philip Parker

Lovely lunch made fresh and catered for celiac requirements. 5 stars.

Shanel Morton

BEST Gluten free Pizza…!! So yummy and such a great atmosphere. Will def be back, and Monday nights for $10 pizzas - so good!

Hannah & Rick van Ballegooy

Great service as always. Excellent GF options, cater well to coeliacs.

Steve Walker

Fantastic restaurant, delicious food, great prices, loads of gluten free options. The service was fast, friendly and we couldn’t fault anything. Loved it so much we went twice while on holiday at Mt Maunganui.

John Eiao

I ordered a Gluten free burger(allergy) and received a normal bun. Rang and was offered a replacement or vouchers and opted for a replacement. The replacement had aioli which our original order did not have, and the service by Lex was rude and she tried to charge for the replacement

Maria Lavin

Great place for a meal. We had a large party here for celebration. They set up a long table for us. The food was delicious and lots of gluten free options. I love the atmosphere of the wooden tables large doors and even log fire. Staff are always lovely. Lots of space and room for children families.

seanna higgs

Gluten free rosemary bread was a big hit, salads and pizzas were beautiful, and Grandma enjoyed lamb shank. Staff lovely and attentive!

Judith Delahunty

Food is always great & I'm coeliac so it's nice to be able to go & know they look after me.

Dave Sims

Great coffee and pizza, friendly staff, nice beach outlook. Good celiac safe gluten-free options. We will be back again!

Danny Moffat

Best gluten free pizza in town

Doreen Nicholson

Lunch was so yummy! Pork belly pizza on gluten free base, helpful, cheerful staff and lovely sitting outside in the garden.

Agnes Bergdahl

Amazing food and super nice staff. Had many gluten-free options aswell! Pleasant dinner, left with a smile on my face☺️

Pravina Bhuva

Great vegetarian and Gluten free option,

Vincent Venimore

We we disappointed in the quality of the food on this visit. We had 2 hybrid combos, both came with badly burnt kumera fries. The egg on one burger was burnt and the bacon on the other burger. We also ordered a gluten free burger which was fine apart from the bread was so stale that my partner rated it the worst burger she ever had. We frequent this store fairly regularly and have not experienced this before, so I called to see what they would say about the quality of the meal. Unfortunately I got a machine as they were too busy to take the call. Not Impressed all, there are plenty of other options for take out, I may not go back after this as there is nothing fun about having takeout at home and it being yuck!

Andrew Bucknell

Need to work on not putting cheese and gluten and dairy free burgers. Happens at so many of them.

Michelle Bennett

Came on 18th November 2023 for a birthday celebration, excellent service from initial phone booking to everything on the night, food was fantastic highly recommend the platters but for me the Vegetarian Pizza was absolutely delicious we thoroughly enjoyed our night here and thought it was good value for money. Great selection for our gluten free members of the group too, Thanks Fainting Goat for a great night😊

Zachary Munro

Amazing vegan sushi with Sunfeed mock chicken and vegan mayo. They add soy sauce so not gluten-free friendly.

Jacob Petersen

A must-try and fairly priced! Amazing food and large portions. Friendly service. None-allergy food options, vegan, and gluten free options.Possible to buy some great craft beers!

Rob Gwilliam

Great gluten free pizzas and garlic bread. Boxed up and labelled GF which is always a good sign. Shame no separate fryer for any chips

margaret stowe

Great service . I needed gluten free food and needed to educate the waitress that the fries were not gluten free if they were cooked in a fryer with gluten. So.if you are gluten free/coeliacs don't get their frys. But the rest of the meal was tasty and brilliant

Sam Roff

Brilliant food, we have never been disappointed. Fresh, full of flavour and they have good knowledge of food allergies. Unfortunately no separate fryer for gluten free however they were understanding in being able to swap items out and offer replacement options. Allergies were well noted and highlighted on our order. All dishes at our table were beautifully presented and delicious! Highly recommend the grilled salmon and prawn salad 10/10

Cheryl Playne

Had a wonderful meal and the best waiter ever, Baru made us feel totally welcome and nothing was too much trouble. There was a great selection of gluten-free options for me and the food was cooked to perfection. A lovely experience!

Daryl Drake

To be as absolutely fair as I can be let me add some context. 1) I am a tourist so I'm unaware with what the average pricing/quality is of restaurant food Service: 5/5 The wait staff were very friendly, accommodating and answered all our questions Drinks: 5/5 The cocktails were tasty, not too strong and had lovely flavours and presentation. They were $20NZ each. Atmosphere: 5/5 It's a cute spot, we ate indoors as it was a little cooler out however they also have a nice outdoor area. Good music, fresh aromas from the kitchen and good seating. Food: 2/5 I'm going to use Cook/Flavour/Plating/Size/Price as my rating scale here. 1- The cook of the food was perfect. There was nothing over/under done. The meat was tender and juicy, the veggies crisp and fresh. 2- The Plating was elegant and well done. The dishes were presented thoughtfully and had pops of color. 3- Price - So this is where I'm unfamiliar with what normal pricing is, however we paid around $120Nz for 2 people to have 2 drinks, a large platter and a snack each. We omitted having the short ribs as they were $75 and based on the portion size and flavours I'm glad we did. Prices seem steep for what you get but it could be normal. 4- Size - The dishes are small. They recommend 1 Large + snack or 3 Small per person and that's probably right however given the price that's a steep bill. We tried sharing 1 Large + 2 snacks between the both of us and left Hungry and kind of let down. 5- Flavour - As I'm finding with everything in Tauranga, it's bland. Even our potato chips from the grocery store were under seasoned. If you want crisp, natural veggies then you're fine but the only hint of any flavours or seasonings was salt and some chopped chillies. It's definitely not the robust and complex flavours you'd get from other Asian cuisine and while it boasts to be a fusion restaurant, it's an attempt at best. While flavour is entirely a personal preference, as there are raving reviews about this restaurant, myself personally found the cook and presentation of the food to be lovely but the flavours left me wanting. All in all I gave it a 3/5 as the drinks, service and atmosphere are great but the Price/Size/Flavour of the dishes felt lacking. * It is worth noting they have a lot of Gluten free options so if you're struggling to find somewhere to eat, I'd still recommend it as its by no means awful. It's a nice, slightly pricey, average restaurant experience*

Michelle Woolley

My daughter has been here many times raving about their "Reuben" and hash sticks, it's her ultimate favourite, the kind that puts a smile on a teenager! 😀 I now see why! Although I had the single burger & hash sticks, it was delicious & her Reuben left me wanting to come back & try it out for sure! Some menu items cater to dairy free & gluten free too (bonus)! Staff super lovely & cute place. Highly recommend 🙌💓

Brent Phillips

Tasty food with some good options for gluten free on the menu. Friendly staff too

Stefan Nogaj

First time dining with Village Green Bar - celebrating 2 birthdays and was impressed by the simple online reservations but, I mentioned in the comments that a diner was coeliac and when we arrived at the table there was a set separate menu just for her - it seems like a small thing but, from our experience dining around Tauranga this was a first. Food - amazing - we had the Porterhouse steak, and it was massive and delicious. Cocktails - amazing, desert - delicious, service - on point and respectful and friendly.

Dave Pearson

"Wow, I think this is my new favourite eatery", I told my family, while still browsing the menu. This is the kind of food I love and it was excellent. I absolutely loved the dinner here and left so full I was uncomfortably content. It's a great atmosphere and the waiting staff were friendly and professional. Seems to have plenty of gluten free options available for Coeliacs which pleased my wife and food came reasonably quickly too. I will definitely be back to try other dishes on the menu.

Danielle

Love this local eatery. So easy to pop into for a meal or lunch date. I am super impressed by the increased gluten-free options on the menu, and this is a huge thing that keeps me coming back. Also, the specialty coffee with butterscotch was delish! Fantastic service and vibe, and great for friends, couples or families.

Andrew Roberts

Popular place and we were nearly put off by all the tables being reserved in advance. But fortunately we went in and it was great. They have a few vegan and gluten free options including a salad, cauliflower bites, a vegan lasagne, and fries plus others that could be made vegan/gf. Worth a visit but be aware the coffee is expensive at $9 for a large decaf flat white.

Robyn Curd

Very impressed with the amount of Gluten free options. Helpful and friendly staff.

Anita Foley

Thank you for my heavenly gluten-free lamb pasanda and amazing onion bhajis. They were wonderful. I was so happy, and the staff were so helpful in telling me what was gluten-free. The other meals for the rest of the table were also beautiful. Will diffently go again and well recommend

Sarah Bone

Loved the food. Great gluten free options. Recommend the calamari! The staff were great getting all the food out at the same time for 10 people. Highly recommend 👌

Wayne Larsen

We ate here for the first time & loved it! All the food was great but our favourites were the special spicy seared tuna & the rum roasted pineapple with lime coconut mousse - they were fantastic. There were not a lot of mains options for my coeliac, vegetarian partner but what she did have was carefully prepared and really nice. We will def be back.

Phil Margetts

Amazing! Three vegan options and a yummy gluten free bun!

Elise

This Turkish place is our favourite stop when visiting Tauranga. I am allergic to gluten and they always clean the tongs and make sure the meal is made without gluten. The food is amazing! Also the family that own this restaurant are so lovely. Highly recommend!!

Murray Shadbolt

A busy school holiday night but we were happy to take a high table in the bar area. Staff were friendly and kept checking we were okay. Handled our gluten free request well. Food was (mostly) good quality and well prepared, drinks were nice and desserts were tasty. A pleasant night out.

Andrew Roberts

Really nice pub. They do a couple of vegan and gluten free options including a pumpkin and chickpea bowl which is really nice. Plus vegan and gf fries of course. Upstairs is really nice with a small view of the sea. Recommended for both vegans and non-vegans.

martin bellamy

Hand down best beef burger I have ever had! Nice chargrilled taste and great sauce, Mrs is gluten free and she said the gfo was great too, will be back for sure.

vicky robertson

Eastwood has been a favourite in thenpast(great location good coffee and gluten free options) this time coffee was below average and not much choice on food for gluten intolerant

Shelly Lucey

I like this place, we have eaten here twice as a family. The only let down is they don’t offer any gluten/dairy free side with the steak. Chips are in a shared frier, so not GF. And the mash has dairy in it. Otherwise would give it a higher score :) Service is always very good with nice friendly staff.

Marylou Macpherson-Hall

Very helpful with gluten free information. Burger was massive too!
