Top 50 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots Across Wellington

Reuben FillMyGobbs

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.

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

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.

Potts Jane

Yes, especially for gluten-free food.

Impeccable food and service…highly recommended. Lots of celiac and gluten free options including really good gf Bread and house made butter. Every dish was something you’d look forward to enjoying again.

Sophie

So grateful this restaurant exists. Celiac safe. Amazing food, great service.

Kayla Lindsay

Best fresh fish in town. Gluten free battered fish is divine. Always lures me back for more

Karen & Alan Shaw

The food was beautiful, the injera bread was awesome and the staff so kind. Nice to have a whole vegan menu and pretty much everything was gluten free. Will definitely be back!

Allie Treloar

Good food, gluten free was good. Service was friendly and efficient.

Marc Torrey

Had an excellent gluten free fish and chips. GF batter and dedicated fryer produced a delectable, non-greasy batter-dipped fish and accompanying fries. Super helpful wait person too!

Abi Brook-Miller

It was delightful. Thanks so much for the excellent service. Food was great, Gluten free options were mean and the kids were welcomed with smiles. That doesn't always happen!

Wendy Henry

Great allergy menu and clear confidence with coeliac-safe GF. Best GF pizza dough I’ve ever had! Cheesecake also super yummy. One very happy coeliac!!

Jeanne Wissing

What a great experience! It was our first time at Kisa and appreciated our friendly server explaining everything to us, the special care taken with my gluten-free requirement, and truly delicious food. The smacked cucumber was my (surprising) favourite on the menu, and everything was made to perfection, fragrant and tasty. We were a large group at a long table, and even so, we could share conversations across the length of the table - a total plus. We will definitely return to sample the rest of the menu. An absolute highlight of the weekend!

We had a wonderful meal at Damascus on a Saturday evening. The restaurant was almost entirely full at 5:30 and we can understand why. I’m a coeliac who can’t have dairy so it’s not always easy to find places where I can eat and have choices. Damascus’ staff were friendly, the kitchen staff were absolutely awesome! We had a selection of small dishes and a large one. The food was beautifully presented, so incredibly tasty and came in a steady flow. We had a wonderful evening, thank you so much!

Max Quinn-Tapara

Loved it. Such flavourful dumplings and great selection. Nice that there are gluten free/vege options too

Lior Seidel

Great GF pizza

Pilates Plus NZ

We had a fantastic brekkie here and highly recommend this wonderful spot. Great menu with several coeliac-friendly options. The staff are friendly, professional and attentive to detail. I had the hot smoked salmon eggs Benedict and loved the GF bread used as the base. I only like super-hard poached eggs and these guys cooked them perfectly. The coffee (Havana) is great and the room has a funky and relaxed vibe, with a great outlook over Lyall Bay beach and the airport. You can watch planes and ferries come and go while you relax! We got a GF lemon and blueberry cheesecake to take away for later - absolutely delicious. We will be back next time we’re in Wellington!

We booked a table for 9, for a graduation dinner. Our table was ready on time. We were promptly seated, our drink orders were taken, and any questions answered. Then we were left to browse the menu. Our orders were taken shortly after, pizzas, pasta, and steaks all round (including catering for gluten free). The food arrived quickly given the busy night. The portion sizes were large The temperature was good The quality and taste was great. Despite being incredibly full, some of us opted for dessert, and we weren't disappointed. All the staff were exceptionally friendly and nothing was a bother. Considering there were some fussy eaters at the table, a great night had by everyone. Would recommend, and we'll be back.

Clive McArthur

The food is great and better still it is safe for the two celiacs in our family.

B Bell

As a really reactive coeliac, I’m always on the lookout for reviews that help me eat safely. I’d love to help out another coeliac! Fratelli was a lovely experience in all aspects! Staff were reassuring polite, and helpful on the phone, and catered for me beautifully. Attentive, polite, and knowledgeable service. Enjoyable atmosphere. Great wine. We ate here for 2 of the 3 nights we were in Wellington. Delicious pasta and pizza, plus sides. I didn’t experience any symptoms and felt secure that no cross contamination would occur. If we visit Wellington again, I’d be keen to go again! It’s rare to feel so safe and I’m frothing for how safe and lovely our evenings were! Thoroughly recommend.

Angela Hoebergen-Hapi

Food was devine, service was awesome, went beyond to cater for one of our party that was gluten free. Highly recommend

Kelly Gray

Just enjoy being here, good menu. Only suggestion would be to add more gluten free and dairy free options

Matteo Zambanini

The food is delicious! Everything can be gluten free. Also the staff is super friendly. Tim is great!

Brett Walker

The service at T Lounge is great and we enjoy that it is a little different to other restaurants. Our dishes were beautifully flavoured, and my wife enjoyed that the waffle could be Gluten Free. Some other guests high tea also looked very nice!

Erin Vennell

Absolutely delicious! They were able to make the pork enchiladas gluten and dairy free, and it wasn't lacking in the least.

Kelly Gray

Love this place. Team are awesome. Only reason not 5 stars, music is a bit too loud. They understand why gluten free is so important. So totally coeliac friendly

Jay Oliver

I ordered from here via Uber eats last night. I've recently been diagnosed as celiac, so I can not eat anything with gluten, so I ordered their gluten-free pizza base. When the pizza arrived, it was freezing cold, and half of the entire crust was burnt to a crisp, and the crust was inedible. The pizza was disgusting and I paid an outrageous price ($36.19) for it with no refund. I never had a bad experience with their food before being diagnosed as celiac but this was extremely disappointing and disgusting, I will not be going back.

Hannah Mcmurchie

Unfortunately, not a good experience today for lunch. The service was slow and full of errors. We were brought the wrong food, and then incorrectly served a gluten free version on a meal. Three of us at the table and all three were served sperately with large lags between dishes coming out. My meal did not arrive in time to eat there and I had to take it take away at 2.45. Sadly won't be returning 😞

Otinel Meszaros

I had the big cook-up. It was great. I was hungry and it hit the spot. My wife is gluten, dairy, nut, egg free. She ordered the coconut salad and said it was great too. Nice view as well

For a colleagues farewell we had a group of 12 on a Wednesday evening from 6pm. They accommodated us with two booth type tables and it was very comfortable. One diner is coeliac and when the order had a gluten item, staff didn't make a fuss when it was sent back politely. So that's really nice. Service was friendly and efficient, clearing our table quickly and checking for drink or food orders often. It wasn't too busy, nor too loud and the atmosphere was cosy. Paying at the end was simple and efficient, they operate their cashier system well. All told for a large group dining experience I thought it was successful and staff did a great job. Thanks for a great night team.

Burger Wisconsin in Paraparaumu is hansdown the best takeaway food joint I have ever been to. Me and my family went for a road trip to Paraparaumu today and decided we would stop here for lunch straight of the bat as a young teen boy with a dairy allergy, I was treated with a friendly atmosphere with highly respectfull, kind, empathetic and understanding stuff. I was allowed to create my own burger that wasn't specifically on the menu that was gluten and dairy free, with staff double checking. The food was more than amazing and well worth the price, which may seem a little bit steap at first but let me tell you, for ingredients that are handmade right at the shop, dietary inclusivity and understanding and outstandingly tasty burgers it is well worth it. The only downside is the space of the restaurant being a little small and cramped which meant we had to do takeaway but that didn't bother us. It is safe to say I will be recommending burger wisconsin to my family and will definitely be returning to burger wisconsin when i return to Paraparaumu next.

ARUN GEORGE

Excellent food and service. Good ambience. An added bonus that there are many gluten free options for coeliacs, and the staff are very aware of coeliac food safety requirements.

Olga Palmer

I recently celebrated my birthday here and the staff at Napoli helped make it a fantastic one! The service was great and the staff were very attentive and efficient, even though the restaurant was full on a Thursday night. The pizzas/pasta were all delicious, including the gluten-free base one which I understand they make themselves fresh every day. The vibe was immaculate, very cosy and authentic. They also went the extra mile by keeping the cake we brought in their coldroom, putting candles and a little happy birthday topper on it, bringing it out and cutting it up/serving it to the table - and charging no cakeage fee for this! If you're looking for your next dinner destination, this is it. Thank you Napoli!

Aleesha Waistell

Overall good service. New waitress served us wrong meal which had us concerned due to allergies, but we were lucky the meal was ok. Nice food and lots of gluten free options ok for Coeliacs which is a bonus. The food mix up was the biggest concern. A bit more appreciation than a "sorry" would have been appreciated due to the allergy factor. There was a concern initially it wouldn't be ok until we insisted they confirmed with the chef.

Rose Brown

Really quick service, a good-sized glass of wine. Food is very good value, large servings. Have a lot of gluten-free options

Reda_Katz

Despite how busy the resturant was the service was friendly and fast. The food is excellent and plenty of option for vegetarians, vegans, dairy free and/or gluten free individuals. Strongly recommend enjoying a meal here.

Francis Pearce

Had a large party and they easily sat us. Get the brisket...outside of Texas or Kansas, this is one of the best smoked brisket I've had. Jalapeno poppers are also good. Excellent cocktails, too. Check out the espresso bbq sauce. It had a nice subtle bite to it. Not super hot, 4 out of 10 on the hot scale. Staff was attentive and helpful. We also had a gluten-free person who was easily accommodated.

Luci McDougall

I could not recommend this place more! I am gluten free and allergic to sea food and all was accomodate too with ease! They were super lovely and understanding. Food was super delicious and the amount you were given was great. Super affordable and lovely staff!

Ryan H

Best gluten free pizza I had in New Zealand during my World Cup! A ton of variety of toppings and types of pizzas and were very considerate of my gluten intolerance. Family got regular pizzas on the menu and agreed it was the best pizza they had during this trip!

Renée Norman

Love the atmosphere of Ombra, started off with a prosecco and the most beautifully balanced heirloom tomato salad, they have a surprising amount of gluten free options (ones that make you feel you're not missing out!) love this for me.

John Litvin

Delicious crepes. Gluten free options. Made to order. Friendly owner. Great place for lunch!

Rose Brown

Great friendly service, love the gluten free pizza

Annette Davison

Food here is made with love. Well thought out dishes that are layered with flavor. My only criticism is the gluten free bread from the supermarket. Not nice.

Lynne Chamber

Aaron Doole

Great place to eat and very friendly staff. The food is delicious and made to order. Excellent options for kids too. They take making their food with caution seriously, and we have never had a problem with cross contamination, they used wraps in place of pitas for our GF order. Excellent for a gluten free stop.

Sally Stellini

Recently returned from a holiday in New Zealand and took a cable car to view the beautiful gardens and on the way back we saw this restaurant as we were so hungry and decided to try it. I am so glad we did!!! I ordered the scotch fillett and asked for it to be gluten free with a cappuccino to be lactose free. The waiters/waitresses are all very lovely and ever so helpful. When the meal came out I was flabbergasted. It looked absolutely amazing. It was decorated with the most colourful and beautiful edible flowers and when I cut into it, it was like butter! The most tender and delicious steak I have ever had and it was on a stack of vegetables with roast potatoes and mushrooms. Compliments to the Chef! It was absolutely delightful! And the price was only $28.00 AMAZING!!! THIS REVIEW IS THE LEAST I COULD DO. Thank you so very much for making my trip more memorable. If I ever come back to New Zealand I will make sure I come and eat at your wonderful restaurant. Thanks again
