Delicious coffee! However, it is expensive for alternative milks, at $1.50 for almond or soy. Very short on gluten free cabinet food. Lots of sandwiches and bread rolls. Nice atmosphere, can be very busy.
Laid-back spot known for its meticulously prepared dishes, engaging drinks, and cozy bar attached for a warm hangout.

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.
Expect generous portions and a lively vibe, making it a must-visit spot where booking ahead is smart for a fantastic experience.

A friend and I stopped here for a quick meal during our drive down south since we were hungry but I honestly wish we stayed on the road instead. We had high hopes and saw the gorgeous view of the lake when we walked in with an empty dining room, so we figured we’d be sat by the window to enjoy the view. Instead, they sat us as far away as possible from the window, with a divider completely blocking the view so that was a bummer. I ordered a chicken caesar salad thinking it’s a hard thing to mess up, but they managed to do that. They used canned chicken, threw in some balsamic vinegar and added canned mango chunks for some odd reason. My friend ordered a salad with shrimp which on the menu was listed as having a gluten free option. The server then came back and said that the shrimp wasn’t gluten free and provided no other option despite the gluten free option listed under the menu. They then ordered the soup of the day which was tomato, thinking that was a safe bet. Newsflash it was not. Once the soup arrived it was a pale
orange colour, which tomato soup should not be but whatever maybe it tasted fine. It did not taste fine, they don’t even know how to describe it, but it did not taste good. And on top of all that it was doused in balsamic vinegar for what purpose is don’t know. Needless to say, we have no intention on returning to this restaurant on our drive back up the island
Caters for gluten free easily. Great selection of sake. Exceptional salmon nigiri, highly recommended. Excellent service - friendly, warm, traditional Japanese.

It's a small pizza stand that's easy to miss, which luckily didn't happen to us!!!
The pizza was very tasty. The most important thing, we wanted something gluten-free, the pizza chef asked us whether we had celiac disease or just intolerance. That blew me away because it was just attentive. In any case, I would definitely recommend this small pizza stand with a wood-fired oven!
The food was delightful and the location is lovely. The ribeye was a bit over cooked for medium rare, but the cut of meat was so tender and delicious! Gluten free options available.

Great Chinese! Really does not deserve the reviews on Google. We were very unsure about ordering this Chinese after seeing the reviews. But we ordered about 13 dishes for 10 people and all were delicious , good quantity and the service was very lovely. Also labelled the takeaway dishes which were gluten-free for my coeliac friend.
