Top 50 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots to Enjoy in Otago

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!

Sarah Roberts

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

I was recommended to go here as a coeliac and wasn’t expecting a buffet style eatery - the food was okay.I went there twice and the first time the hot cabinet had only GF trays of food (which made me comfortable), but then the next day I came for breakfast and they did have one non-gf tray in the same cabinet. This made me uneasy, especially as the tray was the second row in, meaning the spoonfuls of food would have to travel over other gf trays and potentially contaminate them.

Unreal Gluten Free options, warm & inviting Baileys Hot Chocolate a stand out, Kat our waitress most helpful & super friendly

Sarah Capon

As a coeliac and lactose intolerant person I was happy to find a place that was able to safely cater for breakfast and lunch! I didn’t love my breakfast, but I LOVED the chicken Vietnamese salad I had for lunch. Like it was the best lunch I had in my New Zealand travels. They are coeliac aware and take extra care with gluten free meals. Nice staff members and pleasant atmosphere. Enjoyed my coffee too!

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!!!

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.

Bevan Wait

Gluten free Mecca 🙌🏼

Dave E

Bee Tiene

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

Justin Keller

American tourist here. NZ has been so gluten free friendly it’s been wild. Never imagined ordered GF French toast haha. I wasn’t even hungry but wanted to support this 100% gluten free store.

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)

Rachel Dolan

I went in sooo hungry about 1.30pm as I couldn't find any gluten-free options anywhere, and was very happy to see a good selection. I got a delicious,giant brunch (or was it breakfast?) muffin with egg, bacon, and hollandaise, as well as a slice of caramel and white chocolate cheesecake, which tasted absolutely divine! It was huge, too, and I just finished it off after dinner for dessert. Thanks so much for having great gluten-free options rather than just the obligatory chocolate brownie or caramel slice that most cafes have. I think I'll pop in tomorrow before we leave to get some more cheesecake!

Antonio Hanna

They offer gluten-free food with excellent service and delicious, reasonably priced dishes.

Lucy Elkin

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

Lydia Brocket

Loved this place, inside is so beautiful, the staff member I spoke to was so friendly and the pizza was delicious. I went to so many places in Wanaka looking for somewhere that could do a gluten free pizza that was coeliac safe and I finally found it here. Pizza base was so crispy, the pizza was amazing and I'm definitely going back next time!

sam scott

Great afternoon view over the bay, I had a gluten free fish and chips which were cooked in a separate fryer which is fantastic as a coeliac. Fish batter was light and crunchy and shoestring chips were great. Very relaxing spot. Thank you

Alana McConnell

Amazing food. Staff were very kind and accommodating with providing coeliac friendly food!

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.

Brendon Allum

Great food and the best tasting gluten-free base I've had so far

Agathe Douce

I tried the veggie burger with the gluten-free bun option and it was delicious! My friend had a burger with meat and classic bun and he told me “better than Fergburger in Queenstown”!

Tracy Gale

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

Kim Seaward

Absolutely packed with people and super loud so an introvert's nightmare. Amazing wine list! The pizza was....well, pizza, and it was if course a very Italian choice list so none with chicken, but a few with shrimp, lots with ham, prosciutto, salami. The fresh salad was nice but could make it at home easy. Pasta looked amazing but no gluten free option was provided. Nice elevated street view if you sit near the windows. Had an aperitif that tasted like liquid toothpaste, an experience. Wouldn't take kids here as it'd be chaos.

Candice Tripp

Walking around my first day after 36 hours of traveling, I walked by this place and seen the advertisement for Gluten Free fish and chips! Hit the spot and had no issues! Thank you so much!

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 .

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

Arthur Verseux

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

Tom Heijs

Gluten free options available!

Rachel Waid

Absolutely delicious. Many gluten free options, I went with the grain salad that the barista recommended and it was absolutely delicious. Coffee is from a local roaster. It would for sure be a regular spot if I lived close!

C C

Very delicious, good price. The best fried fish (gluten free) I've ever had!

Donna Bungard

I had gluten free battered blue cod for lunch and it was D'lish ! The batter was light and crispy sooo good. Staff really friendly and welcoming, definitely recommend ☺️

Perry Cumberland

Absolutely fantastic slightly old fashioned food. Guaranteed a good feed every visit and excellent Gluten Free options, best I've come across actually

Linda Dow

The gluten free The Classic burger and Japanese Donburi salad bowl I ordered online were delicious, generous and cooked perfectly. I have always enjoyed Pita Pit gluten free wraps but this time wanted to try something different. I ate the egg’d burger while it was still hot and saved the bowl for lunch the next day. I will definitely be back soon.

Jack Taylor

Really good food and excellent drinks. Staff are super friendly and the food is superb. We had quite a few people in our party who have lots of food intolerances and they catered exceptionally well to them! Gluten free, dairy free etc. Really tasty food and nice location.

Jacqueline Woods

Really good coffee and a great selection of gluten free food. I had a frittata, which was tasty, but I’d probably try something off the menu next time. The gf yo-yo was delicious!

Nico Sierra

Amazing food and great for coeliacs. Plenty of gluten free options and they asked if we were coeliac or intolerant. So good that we went back the next day. We shared bacon and egg pie, spinach and feta scone and cauliflower pizza; next day we both had eggs bene.

Ivan Bezkhmelnitsyn

Excellent! Steak and potatoes were delicious. Tried the wague from the specials and it was great! Nice gluten free desserts.

Karen Fraser

Great family restaurant. Delicious pizza, amazing gluten free pizza too. Authentic Italian. Lovely people, relaxed vibes.

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.

Gemini McNabb

10/10 would reccomend. super inclusive for the vegans and the gluten free. service is amazing as well

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.

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.

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!

John Currie

I love a good burger and this place didn't disappoint! Having both Gluten and Dairy allergies it can be hard at times when eating out but they were super accomidating and the mofo burger was super tasty and filling! They even provided a child's seat for our little one to sit and enjoy a hot chip or two

Sara Renee

Food was delicious and very easy to make gluten free!

I went to this place with 11 others for my birthday. I ordered 4 drinks at the start and then food from a young staff member. I was very clear about ordering Ice Coffee and checking that they did not put syrup or sugar in it. I also put in an order for lunch on the same table and checked that no sugar was in what we ordered. I also cleared with the staff that it would be okay to share a non sugar, gluten free birthday cake after lunch. The staff arrived with the other drinks and an Iced Chocolate (laden with syrup, and whipped cream), which my daughter took, as she had ordered this just after me. I then checked with the young waiter to let him know that I was still waiting on my Iced Coffee, not an Iced Chocolate and pointed to my sister and her husbands drinks - their Iced coffees. About 10 minutes later an older staff member arrived with the original till docket and another syrupy creamy Iced Chocolate to insist I had ordered it and should have it. I let her know I did not want it and was waiting on my sugar free Iced Coffee - again pointing to the Iced Coffees. She showed me the docket and insisted she was right and that I had paid for it and had to have it. One of our group was confused at the ladies insistence we drink it and thought it was an 'extra' drink (she was at the other end of the table said she would take it). The waitress said I could not have my Iced Coffee unless I ordered it again - the worst service I have had for a long time and such a lack of regard for the customer!
