Top 50 Gluten-Free Pet-Friendly Spots Across New Zealand

Olivia C

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!

Kathrine Rice (Kate)

A dedicated gluten free cafe serving delicious food. Great options to choose from. Fig ice-cream also available & their is a sales area full of fig produce.

Emily The Coeliac

Could not recommend the attic enough! They are amazing and so careful!

Sarah Capon

I was recommended to go here as a coeliac and wasn’t expecting a buffet style eatery - the food was okay.I went there twice and the first time the hot cabinet had only GF trays of food (which made me comfortable), but then the next day I came for breakfast and they did have one non-gf tray in the same cabinet. This made me uneasy, especially as the tray was the second row in, meaning the spoonfuls of food would have to travel over other gf trays and potentially contaminate them.

Potts Jane

Yes, especially for gluten-free food.

Jake Preston-Marshall

Brilliant place for coeliacs, but also for 'normal' people 🙂 Friendly, helpful staff, nice atmosphere and each dish exceeded our expectations!

🫶🏻 We had a wonderful experience at Miss Kangsta! As a gluten-free (coeliac!) restaurant, it’s absolutely fantastic — delicious food, fresh ingredients, and so many creative options. The staff was welcoming and very knowledgeable about dietary needs, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone looking for amazing gluten-free dining in Wellington!

Jesse Bryan

Excellent vegan and gluten free options :)

Marlena

So, so happy to have discovered the cozy corner cafe. We're not locals but will definitely be coming back anytime we're in Taupo. This place is a gem and a rare find! Most cafes offer gluten-free, vegan etc as one or two options on their menu as an added consideration for those with dietary requirements. This place caters to virtually every dietary requirement as the basis of their menu, whilst still offering what you'd expect from any cafe. The food is delicious, as well as great coffee. Super highly recommended! I wish there were more cafes around like this

Tonight we had the pleasure of enjoying gluten free 'fish and chips' from Catch & Co. Everything was crispy and perfectly cooked (we had gurnard, onion rings, potato fritters and chips). What I love most is that both my daughter and I, who are coeliac, can enjoy our meals without worry. Catch & Co has become our go-to spot for a satisfying, safe, and delicious meal.

The food quality has dropped substantially since the place was sold. I had been going here regularly for the past ten years. I have been telling myself the substantial drop in quality over the past couple of years are one offs, but every time I go, the food is poorly made, doesn't include what was stated in the menu. The smoothie I had been ordering for ten years was poorly made, watery like every time I have had it over the past year. The fries that were supposed to come with a gluten free vegan aioli came with sauce without telling me. Whatever I got today it was definitely not gluten free and I will be spending the rest of the day sick. So many happy memories of this place it was hard to give up but its clear from the owners comments they could care less and are happy to take our money and ruin one of the best eateries in hamilton very sad. I am relocating to a different city and I guess at least I don't have to worry about missing this place anymore :(

Connie Boston

Absolutely love the vibe here. The staff are incredible, food is always spot-on, and they have lots of coeliac-safe options!

Victoria Lawson

My husband and I went here because we were in the area and saw that it had good reviews. I am gluten free (coeliac). The menu was clearly labelled and almost the whole menu was gluten free, including unique options like fried chicken and onion bahji. They were very friendly and welcoming. They also seemed very mindful of dietary requirements, including cross-contamination. We had the cassava fries, 31 masala chicken curry, goat curry and paneer saagwala. Everything was delicious and flavourful. I would especially recommend the goat curry. Thank you for a lovely meal!!

Roger WADDELL

Great variety of food, including gluten-free.

Linda

Delicious food. Everything is celiac safe. Excellent cocktails and wines. Friendly service

Thomas Hendricks

Incredibly well-managed and very good service at a locally-owned restaurant that truly knows their stuff with keto, coeliac-safe, low FODMAP and other nutritional needs. In two years of living locally and eating here monthly or at least quarterly, we’ve never had a problem with an order nor a bad experience.

Sam Goodin

Avocado on toast was so good 👍 - gluten free is a bonus. Thanks guys

Ashley Harris

Bevan Wait

Gluten free Mecca 🙌🏼

Lyn Lealand

Packed house Awesome cabinet displayed with the most amazing food. Beautifully presented . Loads of gluten free options . Coeliac friendly. Great place to be on a wet cold day

April van Es

The Big Breakfast was big, the long black was delicious, the staff were friendly with a smile and a quip whilst still professional. I can't understand the poor reviews. Our meal arrived in good time - it was obviously freshly cooked. I asked for GF, and nothing was too much trouble. They swopped out my sausage for halloumi, and they hid a tasty tomato under the bacon. Best bit - the potato rosti/hash brown. Beautifully seasoned. There was a whole shelf of gluten-free sweet treats, 7 options! If only I'd had room after breakfast.

Blake Dobbin

We were greeted with smiles and welcomed. We ordered breakfast and my partner is celiac, we asked for gf bread and the lovely lady instantly asked if she was celiac, so that was amazing. We sat down and it felt like we had only just planted out bums on the seats and our amazing iced coffees and chocolates came and very shortly after our yummy breakfast was on our table. Yummy food, really reasonable prices and fast! Very impressed. We love trying new cafes here in waihi when we visit and super happy we got the opportunity to try the food! Highly recommend showing love to this business.

Kati Ryan

Great and safe for gluten allergy!! It takes a while but it’s worth the wait.

Lynette Sefton

Gluten free waffels and bagels on menu. Great range of gluten free topping options. Amazing waffle.

Karen Searle

Finally a Cafe that caters for allergies! Specifically for me, most of the menu could be catered as gluten free and I wasn't disappointed. The menu was varied, not just the normal Cafe staples which was so refreshing and the staff were lovely. A lovely lunch on my last day in New Zealand. One happy tourist and if I were a local I'd be a regular. 😁

Richard Hall

One of the best meals of our trip. Octopus starter followed by Blue Warehou (fish special)/lamb (all superbly cooked) and orange cake. Coeliac friendly with excellent cocktails and a great selection of wines. What’s not to like? 10/10

Jennifer Tunnell

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!

Chauntelle Marr

Gluten free french toast

Kendall Lattin

My local cafe and possibly my favourite cafe ever. As a celiac they have an amazing range of gluten free options. The food and coffee are delicious and the staff are amazing and so friendly. It also feels like a really welcoming place to bring my kids; they have a box of toys and coloring in to offer. I go there often and can't recommend this place enough!

Nicole Trayner-Smith

As a gluten free person Lucianos is a dream with heaps of cabinet and menu items catering to those with a gf diet. Coffee was fantastic. I can see why it’s so busy all the time. Parking was a tad difficult and I could see that people couldn’t find seats hence just 4 stars for atmosphere

Kaili Diamond

Wonderful little cafe. Great food. Lots of gluten free options. Friendly staff.

Roger WADDELL

Wonderfully tasty gluten-free and vegetarian/vegan options.

Jess Schrieber

Great Jem in the heart of new Plymouth! Amazing customer service along with beautiful coffees and great food. Huge selection which caters to all food restrictions/preferences the waiters and chefs have great knowledge on all their meals and are always happy to help me with my food preference being keto along with a gluten intolerance and go out of their way everytime to serve a great meal that fits into this category along with being super tasty everytime. Thankyou !!

Anna Reed

Travelled down the north island with a coeliac this evening and found this place on the Coeliac New Zealand FB page. I phoned and we were told they have a separate area. Ordered and got two packages- one for the gluten folks and another for the coeliac. both were absolutely delicious and this place was super busy. it's a good hour from where we live but we'll be coming back up here for dinner. LOVE that this place is safe for coeliacs.

Luke Thompson

The food is amazing. So many gluten free options and the staff are amazing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Antonio Hanna

They offer gluten-free food with excellent service and delicious, reasonably priced dishes.

Nathaniel Moore

Great gluten free options!

Rebecca McFadzien

My boyfriend & I had a lovely dining experience here recently. Our waitress Hannah was so attentive to our dietary restrictions (Coeliac) and it was clear she genuinely cared. The same goes for the talented chefs in the kitchen, who were super patient and understanding and took the Coeliacs/gluten allergy very seriously. Thank you all for making this such a lovely date night for us! We’ll definitely be back.

Martyna Soroka

Amazing place for breakfast! Delicious food and coffee, awesome service. You can buy there very nice local products, real fruit ice cream (also vegan), salads and pastry to take away. Many gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options

Russell Paget

What a find Food awesome lots of choice amazing friendly and knowledgeable about menus Gluten free options and had oat milk so all good Would highly recommend this cafe Ten out of Ten for me

April van Es

Excellent coffee. It took a while to arrive and we had finished our breakfast by the time it arrived but it was worth waiting for, for sure. Nice gluten free breakfast.

Saskia Scott

I was in town with family for a couple of days, we discovered Honey Cafe the first morning and ended up returning the next morning because it was so delicious! The mince & toast was the nicest I've ever had (so good I had it twice)🤤 I had gluten free toast and was impressed it wasn't the usual vogels but thick wedges. My sister had the classic (salmon) bagel GF both days as well, others in the party had French toast and creamy mushrooms...we were all delighted with our meals. Service was great and atmosphere was lovely. Highly recommend!

Andrew Roberts

Nice place. They have a couple of vegan gluten free things like mushrooms and fries, plus they have a vegan smoothie. Very fast service when we were there on a weekday for late lunch.

Sarah Capon

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

Daniel Evans

Staff very accommodating of my cousin who is celiac. They have a separate gluten free fryer which was appreciated

Casey Namana

Came in for a quick lunch. My partner ordered the fish and chips with mushy peas Gluten free and I had the pork tacos, beef brisket lollipops and the chips. Atmosphere was nice and chill. Quiet for a Saturday lunch time but there was a lot going on outside. Service was quick and easy. The server helped my partner who had a bee sting which was much appreciated. Food came out fast and was temperature hot. The chips were the best thick cut pub chips I’ve had in a while. Good amount of salt and perfect amount of aioli. The fish was cooked well and wasn’t dry. The brisket lollipops had great seasoning and flavours were sweet and fragrant. The corn tortillas on the tacos did fall apart more than I’d like but everything else for the taco was delicious. The salsa and mole were delicious with the pork. Haven’t had a bad meal at The Kestrel to date. Thanks team

Guido Locher

First time here,friendly service,good gluten free options and Eggs Benedict best in a long time with good serving.

Ciara Craig

OMG I had the most delicious gluten free lunch here. Salmon and potato ball with a fresh and delicious side salad. As a coeliac, I didn't feel at all sick after it, so I would suggest the food is prepared well from a cross-contamination perspective. I have eaten here a few times over the years and have never been ill. All I wish is that I took some of those tasty treats away with me! I'll definitely be back here. A place we always go to when down in Invercargill. The only problem with this place is that it's always so busy. But great vibe and highly recommend. If you are a coeliac please do recheck when you go there about any of your concerns.

Graham Nordling

Great food and a good range of gluten-free food on offer.
