Great view and service, good sandwiches at lunchtime. The glutenfree hamburger bun was one of the best we've encountered. Celiac friendly, dedicated fryer.

Went here for mums birthday lunch, everyone's food came out luke warm. My pizza was lacking flavour, it was the tofu one. It was very bland. The calamari my sister got the gluten free version and it was small for the price and lacking flavour. Mums seafood chowder was yummy but not hot and someone else got a cherizo breakfast special that was great value and yummy. They have a huge menu with heaps of gluten free options which is great. The waitress was lovely and very tentative to our table. Would probably go back but would ask for the meal to be hot and wouldn't get a gf pizza!

Yara Schaper

Cute restaurant with a large selection in the core of Turangi, including vegan and gluten-free options. Very nice staff and relaxed atmosphere with fair prices. PS: There is also very tasty ice cream!

Tania Jockwer

The kebabs here are amazing. The meat in the kebabs was so yum. I'm gluten free and they were so careful and knowledgeable I felt completely safe. I will be going back at every opportunity.

Aisling Donnelly

Nice selection of food, lovely staff and inviting local atmosphere. Good veggie and gluten-free options, too!

Savannah

Staff are always friendly and helpful. Food is great. Coffee is good. The Café is always clean and tidy, well kept. Great cabinet food options as well as gluten free and dairy free options on the menu. Great for the whole family.

Cherie Kerrison

Went here for brunch today. My friend is a vegetarian celiac, so it is normally a good place to go as there are plenty of options for her. Today was the exception, no cabinet food, no salads aside from a chicken one. So she ended up having a gluten free vegetarian bread/pizza type thing. I ordered the venison short ribs on the starter menu, they were amazing, I would definitely order again. We both wanted a dessert and they have one of the best brulee's in town, but alas they said they did not have any, this was the only gluten free dessert option aside from berries and ice cream. So we will not be back until the menu changes.

I had a fantastic experience at Wyld! As someone with a gluten allergy (coeliac), it's often stressful to eat out, but at Wyld, I felt completely safe. They offer great gluten-free options, and everything was delicious and carefully prepared. I didn’t get sick at all — a true relief and a joy! Thank you to the team for making dining out enjoyable and worry-free.

Rebecca Osborne

Wow what a great place! Very clean, relaxing, comfortable booths, great friendly staff, so glad we found it, the gluten free vege pizza is the best I’ve ever had, (and I eat out a lot!) can’t even describe how delicious that was, the gluten free carbonara was amazing also, we will purposefully detour in the future to be able to come to this restaurant again, it is a new fave 🙌

Bradley Jamieson

Good food, good cheer and great beer... went here the other day and had a few pizzas. Perfect pizzas, super awesome staff and were more than willing to make them gluten free. Definitely going to be a regular visit.

Luis Costa

Really nice place! Everything was perfect - service, food, atmosphere. The Chef made sure to look after us himself, explained about the food served and cared for my wife's coeliac dietary requirements. What a pleasant dinner. We definitely recommend it!! It is a must go in Taupo!

Bill Goodwin

wonderful meal and service. really good gluten free selection. Would highly recommend.

Shannon Standaloft

Just a PSA for those with celiac disease. The GF is short for Gluten Friendly not Gluten Free. Never heard of Gluten Friendly so didn't spot this until we got there but it essentially means you can eat it if you have a mild intolerance but nothing more. Only the salads are suitable for people who are celiac so a pretty stink dinner, and we were told the noodles would be replaced but they were just removed so pretty much chicken and leaves. Feel like the servers were doing their best though and we're very apologetic so gave service a 4

Nickie Dove

Has been my favourite restaurant for several years. However the menu has changed and there is little I can eat now or would enjoy eating. Kumura rostis have gone. No kumura pizza now. Rarely any gluten free vegetarian soups or other dishes.

AnnMaree Vercoe

Staff have a great understanding of celiac friendly options, yum food I’ll be back ☺️

kirsty Smith

We were traveling late and struggling to find something gf for me, found this place, and It was the best tasting gluten-free pizza I have ever had! So good infact I was paranoid that we had the wrong pizza, haha, but it was confirmed, and I had no reaction at all. We had ordered a large gf Hawaiian pizza, nuggets, chips, and 3 drinks (daughter loved the nuggets and hubby loved the chips). Yes, I shared the pizza

Rebecca Osborne

Absolutely delicious, lovedthe dips, halloumi and tagine, all gluten free too, our new fave

Mary Chesney

Very good food. Lots of spice options, mild for the kids and extra hot for a challenge. Lots of options for vegan, gluten free and dairy free. Very nice and fun music.

María Alejandra Jaramillo Giraldo

Delicious food! Great service too. Gluten free options 🥳

Geoff Blampied

Fabulous gluten free food served by happy knowledgeable staff.

Nicholas Kinsey

The Toa burger was amazing, I didn't think I could finish when I first saw it, but it went down a treat. Also had gluten-free options for my wife and good attention to detail, many thanks 😊

Brenda white

Yummy gluten free pizza

Graeme Mead

Haven't been across this side of town for a while. The food is superb, the service is great and just a nice relaxing dinner. Still a great steak and the gluten free food for a coeliac is good.

Colin Holloway

Amazing restaurant with honest, delicious food at a great price, topped only by the care and service from the wait staff. My daughter is celiac and all questions were answered with compassion and menu alterations were handled without fuss. Highly recommended whether for a family dinner, work gathering or even a date night.

Giorgio Ciraulo

The pizzas are great size and value for money. The kids pasta with ragout sauce is like nonna style, beautiful made and exceptionally tasty. We order a portion of chips as well, but we didn't specified gluten free as we did with the rest of the order, so the chef attentively came to us and point out that the chips may contains gluten in the preparation, so we avoid it. Thank you Chef!! Excellent team and service!

Greg W

One of the best places I’ve dined at in a long time. Food has a unique taste and everything is top quality. Lots of gluten free options for meals I usually can’t choose.

Tasty food and gf

Gail Duggan

Only picked up takeaways but they went out of the way for a vege/gluten free customer and they were prompt for pickup. Food was very tasty. Definitely go back.

Hamaka Murray

I love the setup of the restaurant and the decor. The food was succulent, flavoursome and hearty! The portion sizes are huge so your in for a good feed. The pricing is higher than most burger joints but it is so worth it - a flavour sensation. The menu suits all! From gluten free, dairy free and a great selection of delicious vege/vegan options. Come on down and give it a try. You will not regret.

Danielle Peck

Fantastic Vietnamese eatery. Everything tasted fresh and was super flavourful. I especially recommend the lemongrass tofu, which was especially rich in flavour. Almost everything on the menu is gluten and dairy friendly, and also plenty of vegetarian dishes on offer.

Leighanne McAleer

Always great service and atmosphere also have a few gluten-free options available on the menu. Thank you!

Natalie Carter

Lovely pizza with lots of toppings. Tried the gluten free base and it was delicious! Great staff, great food, great cocktail list!

Liam Meeske

Unfortunately, my first experience at Iguana was quite disappointing. Different staff were saying different things regarding food with dietary requirements. After making it very clear that she was gluten free and dairy free, they brought her a dish that contained gluten. After a short while they came rushing back, but some of the food had already been eaten. A couple weeks later (today), I phoned and asked if they were doing takeaways. A staff member assured me that I could order food and takeaway (as they were fully booked). 30 minutes later, I phoned again to order and another person said that they weren’t doing takeaways. The manager wouldn’t speak with me over the phone and eventually the staff member said, “sorry there was a misunderstanding, it’s too busy to do takeaways”. It’s a shame that their ribs are actually really good, but their service is quite poor.

Carmen Bradstreet

A group of us went to Pepper Tree last night. The service was very fast. The lamb and salmon were cooked perfectly - couldn't fault it. Lovely pizza as well. Everyone enjoyed their meals and it was great to have a gf pizza option for the gluten free kids. My only fault would be the size of the kids pork ribs and chips meal. For the price I think there should have been two ribs. The kids were still a little hungry after finishing their meals. But overall, food was amazing and we would dine again. Kudos to the chefs.

Shannon Scott

The food is absolutely stunning, absolutely delicious and full of flavour. I'm coeliac and I've never gotten sick from cross-contamination here. Portion sizes are excellent, you definitely get your moneys worth. And the staff are some of the loveliest, friendliest people, amazing customer service! Highly, highly recommend!

CT opp

Service was good as was the food. But the bathroom was disgusting. It was a mess and there was no hand soap, plus the staff weren't busy so no excuses there. The gluten free buns were better than expected/we're used to which was nice.

Wendy Smith

Very helpful and careful helping me select a coeliac safe meal

Deb

Attended a function here on the weekend. The food was amazing and they they catered for my coeliac daughter easily, she was so stoked! A relaxed but efficient bar manager set a great vibe and the staff were fab!

Andrew Bucknell

Food was amazing. Really catered too the gluten and dairy free stuff we asked for. And they really cared about insuring us if we could eat it. Goes a long way for us. Thanks guys we will be back. Keep up the good work.

Geraldine Wong

We’re so grateful for this celiac-safe haven with angels like Millie W. Thanks for going the extra mile to care for those with dietary restrictions.

Samantha Lee

I recently visited this restaurant with my family and had a mixed experience. While I appreciated the allergy menu and good selection of gluten-free options, the pork belly dish was disappointing. The pork belly was too dry and lacked of crispness on the skin, I was hoping to have that crunchie sound when cutting up. On a positive note, the prawn and scallop tortellini was impressive and delicious. However, the food took a bit too long to arrive at the table, which was a bit frustrating. The portions were quite small due to the tapas style of dining, which made it hard to justify the high price. Overall, I would still recommend this restaurant for the good selection of gluten-free options.

Silv T

Price is decent, pizza is tasty.. Gluten free option is great.

Michael Smith

Great gluten free and dairy free options. Always nice pizza great service .

Andrew Roberts

We'd heard there is a vegan menu so we visited, and it's true. See the attached photo of the vegan menu. There are a few gluten free options also. It was really nice and the service was great. Only down side was the tomato juice is not very nice and not recommended. And it's a Lone Star so lots of country music 😀. But everything else was great and well worth a visit.
