Had a morning business meeting and Hello Stranger staff were so accommodating, helped me join tables together and added a bit of banter which was well received. We went here due to the reviews on catering for Coeliac’s, I was very impressed with the range of Food and that they had separate kitchen areas to prep Gluten Free food for Coeliac’s I felt very at ease and safe to eat here due to the knowledge of all the staff. Food was great

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 :)

A beautiful, cozy cafe! We had breakfast in the café and absolutely loved it. There are many vegan and vegetarian options. I had the granola and can recommend it to everyone. The taste is simply indescribably delicious! Plus fresh vegan yogurt and almond milk. Also fruit paste and fresh fruit included. There are plant-based milk alternatives to choose from. The food was really nice and carefully prepared. Therefore it tastes and looks great! Since we were so excited, we took our lunch to go with us: the vegan panini and a “vegan and gluten free peanut chocolate bar/cake”. I still dream about both of them now because they were so delicious! The panini had a delicious vegetable patty. The chocolate cake/bar was so creamy and delicious! If I had the opportunity, I would definitely be a regular customer of the café! Therefore a recommendation from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for this great breakfast experience!

Devine! Am so pleased i discovered this place, o much so its going to now be a regular visit each time I'm here. Highly recommend the La Forestiere if you're a mushroom lover. The flavours are sensational. I was having trouble deciding what to have and the wonderful server recommended if I'm a mushroom lover to try it.... she was right, I can understand why it's her favourite. Great option for Gluten free dining, including a selection of French sweet treats in the cabinet. Yum.

Annie Snook

The best burgerfuel experience! The service was fantastic, staff was so friendly and helpful. I’m gluten free and felt well cared for. The place was so clean and food was delicious! Thanks team!

Cooper Holden

Staff were great and friendly, told them I had a gluten allergy and they whipped out a manual to check which procedures to follow without putting any pressure on me, the best gluten free restaurant experience I've ever had. Food was to die for.

Kaili Diamond

Wonderful little cafe. Great food. Lots of gluten free options. Friendly staff.

Josh Gray

Nice brunch spot. Staff member said big breakfast could be gluten free and then served it with hash browns that weren’t gluten free. Shouldn’t be hard to get gluten free hash browns or just not suggest that as a gluten free meal.

As I was well hungry, I was looking for a good pizza to take away. As earlier I had noticed another pizza place, I went back there, but once inside it didn't seem as good. I checked pizza places around, decided to check it out, and the warm welcome I got convinced me right away. Having a look at the menu confirmed that first excellent impression, with so much to choose from, plenty of pizzas. They also have quite many sides, salads too. And even desserts. They have vegan options, and clearly mark them, but also dairy free and gluten free ones. And a lot of dip options too (including fancy ones like cranberry) Even if I didn't eat there I also noticed that the place is cool too and another occasion I would totally eat there, lots of seats, and dim lights. I had a "serpent" pizza snack"  size, "lust deluxe" double size, and "crumbed camembert" as a side. I liked it all, and epecially the crumbed camembert with cranberry dip, my oh my, amazing! And the icing on the cake, staff is extra smiling & friendly Best pizza place in town, no doubt! Highly recommended!

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!

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😊

Summer Skye

Really lovely staff. I have specific diet restrictions and they kindly made me a toastie on gluten free bread. Most of my group got coffee and the big sausage roll. What a great deal. The sausage roll really is big!

Tracey Jackson

Really yummy food. I have allergies towards gluten and dairy and there's decent options.

Nice chilled and relaxing atmosphere. Option to sit inside or outside with heaters. We ordered Butter Chicken and the Eye fillet. Butter chicken was very good and the Blackened Garlic butter was an absolute star with the steak. Drink service was fast and easy using the tablet order system. Was able to accommodate for Gluten free as well

Cheryl Shearer

The food was delicious, the customer service excellent. Only downside - so many wonderful options to choose from. Excellent gluten-free options. Positive consumer experience thanks 😊

Glutenfree Foodie

The only glutenfree choice was ironically including a bread. I never enjoyed bread.

Cathy Campbell

A perfect little cafe that we visited every morning for breakfast on our honeymoon. Catered to dairy, gluten free dietary requests. Lovely coffee and highly recommend the porridge, full breakfast and chicken for lunch. Very friendly service too and had my coffee made every morning before I even had to order!

tj ludes

OMG what an amazing establishment. Honestly the best pizza I've ever had in the 85 countries I've visited. Love the thin crispy crust and the freshest ingredients. The staff are very friendly and polite. Btw, I had the Quattro Stagiori pizza and it was simply the best 👌. They also have vegan, gluten-free and vegetarian options available.

Lyn Lealand

Friendly staff beautiful surrounding gardens Gluten free bagel was great

Muffs Merino

I’ve been told about this place for a long time and finally came here. The food was so good. I have intolerances to soy, gluten - and they accommodated my order. And, even though these items are on the menu, I did not feel unwell, like at many other places. So I will be coming back here. Friendly and excellent food. This is the best treat I’ve ever had. It tastes like Christmas new years and Valentine’s Day all on one bite.

Andrew Bucknell

Best buffet iv ever been to. Lots of options and everything labeled really well for gluten and dairy free. The slow cooked beef was a stand out.

Mark Farrelly

One of Rotorua's best hidden gems, AMAZING food ♥️ (Gluten free, allergy friendly food available)

Harry Murdoch

Tonight table of 4. 1 gluten free. Which when asked the server what options, to his reply anything we can change the menu to suit. Food was beautiful. Personally I had the ostrich special..... divine! Fantastic service, time between courses was perfect, drinks were never empty. Highly recommend. We will be back!

Jane R

Yummy fusion if Latin American cuisine, tasty food full of flavor, many Gluten-free options. Sangria with a tocuh of sherry was exceptional, so was the staff. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I recommend trying their home made jalapeno sauces too. Thanks Sabroso!

Pia Alderson

Really lovely spot for dinner. I brought my family here last night - we have three vegetarians, a vegan AND someone with gluten allergy, and Lovely India catered to all of us beautifully. Our server was very knowledgeable and attentive, all the dishes were absolutely delicious and the prices were fantastic. 10/10 we will definitely be back

Lionel Skipwith

We we're the first customers of the day. The gentleman who served us was friendly and attentive. Ordered a drink each and a Gluten-free snack - was delicious. The ambience and setting was awesome. Thank you team!!

Shirley Day

Terrific venue for my 60th birthday celebration. The buffet was continuously refilled and food selection was perfect with just enough options to satisfy all tastes. Trail Kitchen even made up two seperate gluten free meal and dessert plates. A lovely setting looking out towards the wonderful Redwoods/Waipa Forest. Highly recommended and a very reasonable charge for the buffet.

Sean Macintyre

I thought that this place was excellent 😊 The pools are just private enough (could be more private) nestled in amongst the trees so beautiful. I found the stuff to be friendly and helpful we hadn’t booked but we’re able to get in quickly anyway. The burgers we had were delicious and they had gluten free options 😊

Doug Shewry

Good place to go if you have fussy eaters or vegetarians and celiacs because they can choose their own food.

Deborah Mitchell

Sadly thus place let me down, on the menu it says several items are Gluten Free, I'm Coeliac so need this to be true sadly it isn't, when I went to order they told me everything is cooked in the same oil etc, I was extremely angry, IF IT'S NOT GLUTEN FREE DON'T ADVERTISE IT AS SO ! Only call it GF when it actually is !!!! Learn about this please !!!

Karen Read
