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.

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.

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!!!

Sarah Capon

Best lunch spot for coeliacs visiting Queenstown! So many fun and tasty gluten free options and they are very coeliac aware.

Bee Tiene

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

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)

Arthur Verseux

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

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 .

Moinho cafe, recently established in Queenstown’s Frankton area, is an extension of the renowned Padaria do Moinho bakery founded in Cuiabá. The Queenstown branch continues the tradition of quality artisanal baking, offering a tempting range of breads, cakes, and savory treats in a relaxed, welcoming café setting. The menu blends Brazilian and South American flavors with New Zealand café classics and caters to various dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Portions are generous-one cheese scone was enough for two-and the cabinet food looks appealing. The staff are friendly and accommodating, and the cappuccino we had was well made. The café’s casual, family-friendly atmosphere makes it a great spot for breakfast, brunch, or a relaxed lunch. Our experience was enhanced by the clean premises and reasonable prices. Moinho cafe stands out for its fresh, quality baked goods, friendly service, and unique Brazilian flair, making it a welcome addition to Queenstown’s café scene.

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.

Oliver Gould

Delicious food and they were able to offer most of the menu gluten free for coeliacs

Kara Phelps

Great food with lots of gluten-free options.

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.

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.

Karen Collins

We were staying at the Ramada and ended up having two dinners and a breakfast here - was so good. Great service and very accomodating to my partner who is gluten free. Truffle fries were amazing

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.

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! ❤️

Tom Heijs

Gluten free options available! Friendly staff, great specials, good takeaway and dine-in options.

Paula Peeps

Lots of GF options here!

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.

Katherine Clarke

We had a beautiful relaxed evening at Bella Cucina! Ainsley was a dream, chatting taking jokes and keeping spirits high in general… she was attentive and great at recommendations! The wine and food was amazing! I ordered the risotto and it was perfect. Not loads of gluten free options but it was well and truly covered by the fact that the risotto was out of this world. Soo impressed with the service in Queenstown in general but honestly Ainsley was gorgeous and the pick of the bunch!

Jo Foss

We booked our wedding dinner here for our small group of 8. Upon our arrival we were very warmly welcomed and given 2 glasses of bubbles on the house. The service was 5 star with a special mention to our server Harriett, who really went above and beyond to give us a run down on the menu and recommendations and was able to very confidently cater for our gluten and dairy free guests. The food was outstanding and everyone left full and happy. Harriet even helped us get a group photo out the front by the water, which turned out to be one of the best group shots of the trip. Thanks again and we will be recommending you to anyone we know heading to Queenstown! Duncan and Jo

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!

Erika Houde-Pearce

We hosted a group of 30 here and it was the perfect spot. The service was great and the outdoor area was perfect for a large group. Super chill atmosphere and beautiful. We took public transit from queenstown and it was a beautiful drive through a canyon and we ordered a sharing platter which everyone was very impressed by. They were able to accommodate gluten free diet too.

Lucy Miller

Beautiful staff, lovely atmosphere, treat with No Added Gluten for those of us with sensitive stomachs. Perfect almond mocha and were happy to use Lactose Free milk I had leftover. Brekky was also fabulous.

Lyn McNamee

Fabulous service and an excellent range of gluten free.

Dave Beebe

Great craft beers! Their Porter was top shelf, the golden age was also first rate. Difficult to find a seat inside, but comfortable and not too loud. Seating is setup in a sort of "forced social" arrangement with large tables that you share with other patrons. But this makes for starting up conversations an easier affair. Lots of outside seating for warmer weather. Quite a lot of food options and yet another place with plenty of gluten free choices. Chicken and hamburger we're vey good. Overall a great experience.

Ray J

When I asked them to clean the steam wand and milk jug as I am a coeliac and they also do oat milk, they were very happy to do so but as usual came with the “all care but no responsibility” spiel.

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…

Kevin Goette

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

Marie CLEMENT

The food was soooo good, my mouth still waters to the simple thought of it! Absolutely everything we ordered was delicious! 😋😋😋 My favourite is the BUTTER AND SAGE GNOCCHI! 💚🤍❤ And wait... they have vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. GIOVI Superstars! 👍

Sarah

Stunning location and cute cafe. However I ordered a gluten free and dairy free option. Part way through eating it I suspected it wasn’t dairy free. Waitress confirmed it wasn’t. I then ordered another option. I was charged for both breakfasts when we went to leave. A little frustrated as I’ve been unwell all day on my hens weekend on top of having to pay for two breakfasts 😔 This is a great spot to go but if you have any food allergies I’d suggest maybe giving it a pass.

Michael Spittal

Amazing food and servers were able to explain what was ok for a coeliac. One of the best Indians I've had in NZ.

Hannah McInally

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

Tim Kraska

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.

Lawrence Rosof

This place is fantastic! Great location on the lake and awesome food. The prawns and scallop tapas are so good we came back 2 nights in a row! Very good ambiance and in a great part of town ! Also plenty of options for those looking for gluten free !

Heather Sibet

One of the best gluten free buns I’ve had. Also highly recommend the KFC chicken burger if you don’t have celiac, if was incredible. Beef burger and fries just ok.

Sahaab Akbar

Gluten free (coeliac safe) and halal. Great taste and volumes in terms of value for money.

Jay Bee

It was a cool afternoon, we wandered past and saw a gas log fire burning well, and the blackboard outside said mulled wine. We checked that the mulled wine was coeliac friendly, the 2 bartenders went through the ingredients list with me. Excellent customer service. The mulled wine was well presented and tasted fantastic. Two thumbs up. The mulled wine was so nice that we went back later in the afternoon, once there we found it was happy hour and several drinks and cocktails were at a very good price. The place was pumping with great music and it had a great atmosphere. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Great job everyone.

Ali Nash

Fun quiz night, great food. Good gluten free options

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

H&L Boyd-Jones

Delicious pizzas and thoughtful service, catering for food allergy and gluten-free diners. The chickpea (farinata) base for the gluten-free pizza was particularly delicious - the farinata would really be a welcome addition to the menu in its own right because it’s a lovely snack that’s hardly ever offered.
