To echo the other reviews, what an amazing find! We shared the Pernod prawns, my husband had the lasagna (which automatically came gluten free) and I enjoyed pizza with the best gluten free base I've ever had. Large portions and all very tasty. Loved that the ciders, wines etc were all NZ. The staff were clearly busy but were really friendly. Cool atmosphere. I would definitely recommend!

One of few cafés around these days that are open early for breakfast (opens at 8am - many we've tried to go to don't open until 10am). Good gluten free options on both the menu and in the cabinet. I had the smashed avo (with added bacon) which was divine! The cabinet food looked amazing and I'm very keen to go back to try some of the delights in there. Fast, friendly service. I'll be back!

Had some great vegetarian gluten free items for lunch including a roasted vegetable muffin that had egg and cheese and a curried quinoa and chick pea salad with their own curry spices, and a roasted kumara and beat salad with feta - all delicious. Hubby loved his pepper steak and cheese pie. Thanks! Fresh vegetables for sale looked good and well-priced.

We were lucky to experience this fine establishment before the busy season. Despite not any other options in kaiteriteri these guys knock it out of the park. Gluten free options, yummy enough food to order it again the next time your in, staff who actually are happy to serve and appreciate the patronage, but also A funky deck. Our only Complaint: the lit up Stage, with the lonely guitar that didn’t see any action. That in addition to them not asking Glenn Thorpe to Do a set:). Rock on Beached Whale. Canadian Travel Mongers stamp of approval gladly !!

We were on holiday last week. On the first night we decided to try the stables because our young son has celiac. We told the waitress when she took our drink order and she informed the chef. The chef even went so far as to double check which of our children was celiac by coming to our table. Our son was able to enjoy fish and chips with the family. It was made in its own gf fryer. Afterwards, he had a warm gf brownie with cream for dessert. He had zero adverse side effects which usually come on 48-72 hours after eating gluten. It went so well that we decided to come back 5 days later for dinner. Everything was fabulous from the wait staff to the cocktails (I highly recommend the berry fizz). Will be back the next time we are in Nelson.

This place is AMAZING and delicious. So many options from healthy salads to gluten free berry crumble cake with cream. Even if the food had been mediocre, I would come back just for the service. Ruby was so friendly and even offered to show us around the city. Unfortunately we are leaving town tomorrow otherwise we would have taken her up on it! Thank you so much for the lovely lunch and hospitality.

Quaint lovely food, built during the second world War by conscientious objectors as a commune, still true to the style this cafe serves local and organic, gluten free. Vegetarian and vegan food staff very pleasant and helpful. Pretty busy at lunch time with outdoor seating in the sun or inside if you prefer. An amazing garden setting with massive collection of cacti of all different shapes and sizes to wonder at. Great for late morning or afternoon in the sun
