Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots Across Wellington City for Night Owls

Maya Shiraiwa

Such a cool spot on the corner of cuba! Great prices for generous portions and a lovely atmosphere. Staff are always lovely and so good about dietaries! I’m coeliac, dairy and nut free and feel very safe eating here (disclaimer: obviously there’s still risks!), would definitely recommend for vegans and vegetarians too! Only thing I’ve noticed after coming here a few times is the gluten free pasta can be way too salty at times. (Don’t think this is always the case but I think it might be from over salting the water as gf pasta absorbs so much more than regular pasta & it’s not the sauce that’s too salty).

Delicious food and drinks, fantastic service and a really cool vibe. Tonnes of gluten free options which is fantastic. A must if you’re a burger lover in Wellington!

Teena

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.

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!

Jessica Durham

Yummy vegan food with lots of gluten free options

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!

Great GF pizza

The Legitimate Reviewer

The best gluten free and vegan cheese pizzas that we have ever had! The drinks were a great compliment to the entire menu! We could not get over how delicious the food was! If you're looking for a pizza night then you can go past here! Great atmosphere inside with a nice outdoor area with 2 large outdoor heaters to keep you warm in the cold

Clive McArthur

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

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.

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!

Erin Vennell

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

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.

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.

Louise Bourne

Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here, the vegan/gluten free vege filled pancake was absolutely delicious, and huge! Lovely staff/service. Will definitely be back.

Jen Stephens

Love this place! And best of all pretty much all their pizzas can be made gluten free!

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.

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.

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.

H Kler

Great deserts and also main courses, super friendly staff and also plenty of vegan and vegetarian and gluten free options. Highly recommended

Daniel Fisher

Menu has changed with less gluten free/dairy free options.

Jack D

Lovely pub and great pub quiz. Also they stock gluten free beer 🥳

My food was lovely and delicious. The Spanish waiter was very friendly and provided great service. However, our experience was concerning and I am giving a one star. My sister is gluten free. She ordered the gnocchi which says gluten free on the dinner menu. We understand you cannot cater to coeliacs, but it very clearly stated gluten free and not 'on request' or anything. After fully consuming the meal, paying and reading the receipt, it said 'Main gnocchi- NOT GF' in capitals like that. We went back in and the staff member (girl with reddish hair and glasses) mentioned that they had run out of gluten free pasta and were only serving gluten pasta. This is very concerning as we were not told by any staff member. She handled it very badly, no apology at all. She blamed us as we didn't tell them we needed it gluten free. However, we were comfortable and had peace of mind with what the menu so clearly stated. She also said "it's not like she's going to die" instead of at least apologising (please train the girl in customer service skills because that was pretty mean, insensitive and ignorant). We understand you don't want to reprint all the menus until the GF pasta is back, but you need to inform anyone who is ordering that meal, for safety. Please please train your staff better, especially on menu knowledge. They need more attention to detail. I work in hospitality myself and something like this can be easily avoided. If you're changing ingredients, inform all your staff and teach them to tell all customers upon arrival. This is super important. I am surprised even the chefs didn't confirm with the staff. Overall, very concerning as my sister may get sick now. I have attached screenshots of what it says on the menu.

Jan Thompson

We were a large group and had a set menu Fantastic service by all the staff, food was delicious and there was lots of it. Great value for money. Chef’s catered really well with a gluten/dairy/soy friend. If only I lived closer ! Thanks so much for a great evening

M. Lang

A colleague from work recommended this restaurant. The pumpkin dumplings were tasty, gluten free. The tofu was delicious, soft inside. We also had Pho, bao bun and summer rolls. Delicious food, highly recommended. Fair price, excellent service, clean.

Jack Cleland

Absolutely awesome burgers! The service was great and they were very accommodating to our gluten free requirements

Veronica OGrady

Positive - the menu offered gluten free options and appreciated being able to eat safely as I am a celiac. Negative - for a beautiful Wellington day with women’s expo across at TSB and a cruise ship docked, the level of staffing was not right. Service was slow, with a rushed and harassed customer experience. Had to wait to be served, seated, order taken and food to be delivered. Even asking where our food was difficult because the server clearly thought everyone else waiting meant we shouldn’t query. She said she would go check but we never saw her again. For a simple order of two bowls of fried and cheesy bread and eggs on gf toast, it shouldn’t be a 30 min wait. Negative - our food eventually came out lukewarm. So it had been cooked but sitting somewhere waiting for a server to bring out. The chips looked amazing but barely warm. My eggs on gf toast was terrible. The gf toast was as hard as a rock and no butter on it. I feel ripped off that such a simple dish was served below average and not worth the money I spent on it. The outdoor seating area was messy with uncleared dishes and food waste on the ground. It wasn’t a welcoming place to eat and I’d be hesitant to take my family there again.

Emma Ward

My favourite Thai place in Wellington! Delicious food, great flavours and spices, reasonable price point. Great options for a range of dietaries. Have been with a big group including gluten free, vegan and dairy free and everyone’s found something delicious to eat. Highly recommend the red curry and alcoholics noodles.

M. Lang

Went for lunch. I had free range eggs on toast with spinach and gluten free toast, quite pricey for it. See the picture. Salmon was not available when we were there. Pasta with lamb ragu was tasty and fair price. Well located in Cuba Street, busy at lunch time. Cakes at fair cost. Friendly staff.

Leslie Fitt

I eat gluten free and had the lamb salad and it was awesome

Matthew Turner

I have ordered pizzas from here twice that were requested to be gluten and dairy free. Both times my wishes were not followed. As a dairy free celiac, this is not good enough. It is unsafe and frankly terrible. I am very disappointed.

Tara Willans

Great service, great food and large portions, clean restaurant and bathrooms. Good vegetarian and gluten free options. Busy but quick service and food. Would visit again.

Avigail Larom

Amazing food, very friendly and helpful service, a great veriaty of options for everyone - vegetarian, vegan, diary free, gluten free, egg free, nut free etc. A lot of dishes I never saw in any other Indinan restaurants. Absolutely recommended!!!!

AJ Williams

Coeliac safe, seperate fryer and prep area. Server was coeliac and said she love it there because they get it.

Hayley Austin

Big selection of food and friendly staff. Food was good and ingredients were fresh. Takeout and delivery options available as well as gluten free and vegetarian. Inside of restaurant was massive so can definitely take big bookings.

Me waiting for my currizza 🤤🤤 Food: Not arrived but i know its gonna be Boshhhh Service: Very nice — Someone is gluten free and they dont make gluten free pizza but they said Yas ofc Atmosphere — AWESOMMEEE 🤩🤩

Stephanie C

Great food - My only issue was the service, had a few servers and a few of them weren’t sure about the Gluten free options and questions seem to pass from server to server. In the end the manager(?) was serving us. I also couldn’t help to feel that we were judged based on our look and age cuz everything went friendlier when we paid lol. We had a few platter of oysters, starters and mains (only took a few photos). All delicious as anticipated but perhaps the service was a little less smooth so 4 stars

Robyn Wyllie

They had a lot of gluten free options and the gluten free pizza base was crispy and delicious. The food was also reasonably quick to come out. We enjoyed them so much that we returned the following night and the same lady recognised us and remembered we were gluten free.

Siobhan Costello

My friends and I absolutely love the nachos, can't stop spending our money here! Absolutely fabulous customer service, always super friendly and welcoming staff. Perfect for my vegetarian friend and my coeliac needs. Our favourite place to eat out, hands down.

Tracy Lancaster

Average menu if you’re gluten free and totally inflexible on offering alternatives. Wouldn’t return.

Steph Chalmers

Best frozen margis and tacos in Wellington. Heaps of gluten free options

Emma Bennett

Staff were pleasant and efficient, food was tasty and understood about catering for coeliac. Always a good, reliable place to eat.

Kelly Gray

Staff were awesome, can cater for coeliac needs

Rew Clausen

Catered to Gluten free needs nicely, thanks team, awesome food and service
