Top 50 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots to Delight in Queenstown

Olivia C

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!

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!!!

Lucy Elkin

Fun atmosphere on Saturday morning - lots of vegan + gluten free options which were nice. Would recommend ❤️

Arthur Verseux

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

Sarah Capon

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

John Jackson

Gluten-free Chilli Paneer Pizza Absolutely brilliant!!! Well worth the wait to come back here Been here often, and will continue to be

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)

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.

Bee Tiene

Fresh, tasty, value for money. My go to for celiac safe food in Five Mile.

joe coates

Nice enough place food was good gluten free options available. I would say it is aimed more towards the younger customer .We are in the 55/65 bracket the music was loud and there were alot of younger people who were drinking and having a good time .

Karen Fraser

We were staying at the Ramada and ended up having two dinners and a breakfast here - was so good. Great service and very accomodating to my partner who is gluten free. Truffle fries were amazing

Oliver Gould

Delicious food and they were able to offer most of the menu gluten free for coeliacs

Kimberly M

We inhaled our food here it was so good. The Pad Thai definitely lives up to the hype. Also, almost everything on the menu could be made gluten free with no issue, the staff was very kind about the gluten free request.

Sarah Roberts

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

Tracy Gale

Fantastic food, and excellent service very knowledgeable about gluten free options for Coeliac customer.

Kara Phelps

Great food with lots of gluten-free options.

Penny Slater

This place is a taste sensation. All of the dishes we ordered were delicious. I am severe Coeliac and they cater for this really well with lots of options. There was 1 mix up with this and part of a dish didn't arrive but when the food is this good they can be forgiven. Tim our waiter was amazing and there whenever we needed him. Amazing service. Thanks for a great experience.

Camila Nunes

I loved my experience at The Cow, the food is unbelievably good! The service is perfect! Leticia, who assisted us was extremely helpful, super friendly and kind! She was also really patient and careful with all my food restrictions. The vegan and gluten-free pizza is the best in Queenstown!!!! And my husband loved the garlic bread, the best he’s ever had!!! We will definitely be back! ❤️

Kateryne

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.

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.

Lili Pavlicevic

Without a doubt, the best Japanese restaurant that I have ever eaten at. The service is INCREDIBLE, the food is unbelievable and so so beautiful. One of the best restaurants experiences that I have ever had. If you were to go to one restaurant in Queenstown, this is it!! They are also very accommodating to dietary restrictions. One of us are gluten free and they were able to fully accommodate this. Dessert options are also amazing

Yllone de Ruiter

Cook knows about Celiac! ( 12-03-2025) roast lomo- vegetables- salad- potatoe- mushroom/cream. Very good.

Paula Peeps

Lots of GF options here!

Dion Fernandes

Great spot, great views, great service and very well prepared and cooked seafood. We got a great seat with a view of The Remarkables which made our night even more special. Highly recommend, because we had them, the scallops, tuna loin, charred octopus with paua and mussels in green curry with rice as my partner is gluten free. Lots of options for GF.

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.

Katherine Clarke

We had a beautiful relaxed evening at Bella Cucina! Ainsley was a dream, chatting taking jokes and keeping spirits high in general… she was attentive and great at recommendations! The wine and food was amazing! I ordered the risotto and it was perfect. Not loads of gluten free options but it was well and truly covered by the fact that the risotto was out of this world. Soo impressed with the service in Queenstown in general but honestly Ainsley was gorgeous and the pick of the bunch!

Anna

Excellent service and great steak! Everything was cooked perfectly. Cosy interior This coeliac ate safely ;)

Kevin Goette

Best ramen in town! Everyone should try it. Gluten free and vegan options

Heather Sibet

One of the best gluten free buns I’ve had. Also highly recommend the KFC chicken burger if you don’t have celiac, if was incredible. Beef burger and fries just ok.

Aistė Kandrotienė

Amazing food! Most of it no gluten added!

Hannah McInally

Fernhill’s hidden gem! Such a great place for a meal out or for delicious takeaways. Excellent gluten free options too

Navinit Sharma

Second time here .. had a vegetarian bagel for breakfast which was the best i ever had.. great gluten free options as well…staffs were really friendly..definitely recommend…

Cheryl Funk

Honestly, worst experience in not just Queenstown but New Zealand overall. First it took forever to get seated and the Resturant was not busy at all. This should’ve been the first red flag. We ordered rose and a mocktail + water. They brought us a random bottle of white wine which we of course sent back and had to ask again for water. I ordered the bean dip as an appetizer & a Gerard Burger with chips (all gluten free). Come to find out the chips are not gf, even though it says it available option on menu. Then i was served a chicken burger which took forever to come, sent it back for the Gerard beef burger that I ordered. Finally while waiting for my burger the bean dip came. Literally it was like beans from a can that no one cared to heat up and the chips were so stale. I ate a few since we had been there for so long by then I was starving. Finally the Berger came! The waitress came to ask how everything was and we kindly gave feedback about the experience. Mostly the horrible bean dip, she said she would have the kitchen check the batch of chips. As we were checking out, they never comped the bean dip even though we clearly did not eat 97% of it. Just horrible experience, the standards are high in this area and they failed miserably. Don’t go here!

H !

Shrimp was definitely old. Smelt so bad I gagged, and you couldn’t get the poop lines out because of how old they were. My son got really bad diarrhoea afterwards, and shat himself when running to the toilet. My daughter wanted pasta so the chefs made her some gluten free pasta which was really nice. Plus, the dessert was really good and my daughter could eat most of it. The luge was fun for the whole family. My son lost his phone on the track, but the staff were quick to get it back to us.

Lawrence Rosof

This place is fantastic! Great location on the lake and awesome food. The prawns and scallop tapas are so good we came back 2 nights in a row! Very good ambiance and in a great part of town ! Also plenty of options for those looking for gluten free !

Carrie Jahn Rohrbach

We almost walked in through the service entrance but were gently redirected to the correct door by an actual service member. Without a booking, there was only bar seating available but we were pleased to be seated immediately. They have a ton of non-alcoholic and gluten free options! We enjoyed the salt and pepper squid, salmon and chicken sandwich. Definitely would have liked a seat looking out the window so be sure to get a reservation!

Chenin Madden

Service was fantastic and the pizzas were yum. Very nice gluten free base and very friendly service.

Erika Houde-Pearce

We hosted a group of 30 here and it was the perfect spot. The service was great and the outdoor area was perfect for a large group. Super chill atmosphere and beautiful. We took public transit from queenstown and it was a beautiful drive through a canyon and we ordered a sharing platter which everyone was very impressed by. They were able to accommodate gluten free diet too.

Marie CLEMENT

The food was soooo good, my mouth still waters to the simple thought of it! Absolutely everything we ordered was delicious! 😋😋😋 My favourite is the BUTTER AND SAGE GNOCCHI! 💚🤍❤ And wait... they have vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. GIOVI Superstars! 👍

Chrystal Howley

Was amazing food and at a great price! The lady with the blue hair that served us was extremely helpful wiyh gluten free options and friendly. Thank you!

Jo Foss

We booked our wedding dinner here for our small group of 8. Upon our arrival we were very warmly welcomed and given 2 glasses of bubbles on the house. The service was 5 star with a special mention to our server Harriett, who really went above and beyond to give us a run down on the menu and recommendations and was able to very confidently cater for our gluten and dairy free guests. The food was outstanding and everyone left full and happy. Harriet even helped us get a group photo out the front by the water, which turned out to be one of the best group shots of the trip. Thanks again and we will be recommending you to anyone we know heading to Queenstown! Duncan and Jo

H&L Boyd-Jones

Delicious pizzas and thoughtful service, catering for food allergy and gluten-free diners. The chickpea (farinata) base for the gluten-free pizza was particularly delicious - the farinata would really be a welcome addition to the menu in its own right because it’s a lovely snack that’s hardly ever offered.

Hayley Evans

Amazing gluten free options! Very happy family

steph

delicious burgers, pulled pork and potatoes. huge portions, gluten free buns and just overall amazing! we came at lunch but during dinner they have even more options

Sarah

Stunning location and cute cafe. However I ordered a gluten free and dairy free option. Part way through eating it I suspected it wasn’t dairy free. Waitress confirmed it wasn’t. I then ordered another option. I was charged for both breakfasts when we went to leave. A little frustrated as I’ve been unwell all day on my hens weekend on top of having to pay for two breakfasts 😔 This is a great spot to go but if you have any food allergies I’d suggest maybe giving it a pass.

Dino Gallo

We had an amazing meal last night at the South Eatery. It was so good we went back again tonight. My partner is a coeliac and the menu had a really good range of options. All meals were plated to perfection and were delicious, a special mention must go to the gluten free chocolate cake. The views were spectacular and the lovely young gentleman that waited on us both nights was both courteous and professional, a real asset to the restaurant. Eating at South Eatery was certainly a highlight for us while visiting Queenstown. Dino and Shirlee

Michael Spittal

Amazing food and servers were able to explain what was ok for a coeliac. One of the best Indians I've had in NZ.
