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!!!

I absolutely loved this modern Mexican restaurant located in the heart of Queenstown! (I went there twice in the space of 3 weeks) The atmosphere is warm, the dishes are delicious... but above all: it's a safe place for celiacs. 🌮 The menu offers many gluten-free alternatives, and the staff is really knowledgeable and attentive. I felt like I could eat without stress, and that's priceless. 🥹 The real highlight? I was able to eat my first gluten-free churros in 5 years, served with a chocolate sauce to die for. It was so good! 🍹 The cocktails are excellent: original, fruity, and perfectly measured. All in a colorful, energetic setting. 👉 A must-try in Queenstown if you're gluten-intolerant or celiac. And even if you're not, the dishes are definitely worth the detour!

What a debacle! Just a couple of snacky ski bums craving a tasty gluten free tender meal after a cracking on the maunga. We love chicken, so this seemed like the perfect choice. It was not. When you think of a chicken tender you think of golden, juicy, tasty, crispy... But how wrong we were to rely on the website photos. What we received was an unseasoned, insipid, whiter than the snow tender with really no redeeming features. For an outfit that specialises in chicken, this was exceptionally bad. Only plus side to this whole shamozzle was the chips. Thank goodness Briscoes and Woolworths are close by to grab the other couple of necessities on this trip. We're not angry, we're just disappointed. Protip: Woolworths is just down the road. Grab yourself a packet of Waitoa gluten free burger fillets and some Makakihi Fries and you'll be waaaaay happier than us. Edit: old mate Owner is (again) saying it was a kids meal... Absolutely wasn't! ...not sure how long they can keep hiding behind that. Poor form to be honest. Get down to countdown - 3x the food, 10x the taste for less pesos

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.

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 .

Michelle Armstrong

Absolutely beautiful warm and welcoming restaurant with outstanding food and service! Gluten free pasta a winner. Our son has Coeliac Disease and the gluten free pizzas were the best we've had anywhere in the world so far. Ask for Matilda... super efficient, friendly and delightful.

Luke Thompson

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.

Tracy Gale

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

Auceane MORVAN

Kara Phelps

Great food with lots of gluten-free options.

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! ❤️

Chenin Madden

One of the best meals I have ever had. The tuna was amazing. Being gluten free there were so many options. We will definitely be back

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.

Paula Peeps

Lots of GF options here!

Sue Ross

Just like to thank the staff for taking such good care of our party. 3 of our 4 are coeliac, with one non-meat eater, one anaphylactic fish and seafood and one anaphylactic peanuts. The staff coped admirably and made sure we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Brilliant!

Yllone de Ruiter

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

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.

My Queenstown Diary

I'm a long time Queenstown local and you won't find better Thai food in Queenstown. The Duck Curry is my personal favorite. Also tons of gluten free options.

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…

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.

Kevin Goette

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

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!

Hannah McInally

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

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!

Soff testorelli

Absolutely 10 points for EVERYTHING! My partner said they have the best Calamari in town, I had the provoleta that tasted like home! Also the mushrooms super yummy. A lot of oprtions Gluten free. They were happey to bring a side of Gluten free bread for my provoleta so that my partner could have regular bread. For dessert please try the Crema Catalana. Don't miss out this please. New regulars here maybe hey! Shout out to Calli for her hospitality and for looking after my dietries. Thank you chef! Thank you team!

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

Came here for an early dinner with my husband. Friendly staff, though service was interesting, in that we got an appetizer to share (cauliflower bites), but no plate to split them. So we ate over napkins. No biggie. Then our mains arrived. He had the fish & chips & I had the Caesar salad. Not terrible, but also not as good as we’d hoped. Standard Pub food, I suppose. I had high hopes for this place, based on the fish tacos reviews (ended up not getting them because I didn’t realize they weren’t gluten-free. ). Likely had we stuck with the plan, we would not have been so disappointed – but as it stands, we both walked away from our meals, feeling that the food was not quite worth the price. That said, it looked like it’s probably a pretty fun bar. Simply not my choice for food.

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

Cathryn Richards

Such lovely staff, and a great option of gluten free food. The onion bargees a particular favourite. The lamb just melted. Highly recommend this place

R Hobman

Gluten free ,very helpful and careful Great meal safe for celiac to eat

I tried the gluten-free potato pizza from Sundays recently, and unfortunately, I had a disappointing experience. The taste was quite strange and not very enjoyable, and it didn't seem to be cooked properly. As you can see from the picture, it looked terrible, which is why I ended up throwing it away. Definitely not recommended. Regarding vegetarian reply- I am referring specifically to the gluten-free and vegetarian options for pizza, not in general. I only tried the pizza shown in the attached picture and provided a review for that pizza. In your menu, there are only six pizza options listed and the staff advised me that they could make a Margherita or a potato pizza, so I chose the potato option. I understand that you have other vegetarian options available.

With so many options in the area skip this place. They were rude, and served us gluten after a direct conversation about a gluten allergy. I try to keep most reviews positive, and the scallop on the sashimi plate was good, but the positivity ends there. Spent the day recovering from being served non-gluten free soy sauce after specifically having the conversation with the server about a gluten allergy. If you are allergic to gluten, skip this place. We knew the place closed at 3pm and rushed to get there by 2:40 pm for just a snack and a couple drinks. We were allowed to order, and requested that everything be gluten free. When the food arrived we tried to order a second drink but we were told the kitchen was closed.....it was about 2:55 pm at this point and we only tried to order drinks....again were told the kitchen was closed. The waitress was rude ... The food was below average for the price they are charging. The fish was average at best, and the rice was not sushi rice (just average white rice) There is really no reason to go to this place with a street full of great options where the people are super friendly.
