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

The food was absolutely fantastic – but the service was even better! As someone with food allergies, I can wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. The waitress asked about any allergies already during the reservation and later pointed out exactly what I could safely eat from the menu. It's especially recommendable for people with celiac disease. A truly wonderful experience!

Marieke Pastor

Lovely place for a meal. The food is delicious and the service outstanding. The coeliac member of our group was catered for. Would highly recommend.

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.

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.

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. 😁

Cate McCallum

Food was amazing! I wish I'd remembered to take some photos. The only let down was service was a little slow- as in getting drinks initially and then the tables weren't cleared at all...but the food came out quickly and I'd go back again simply for the food options! 4 of us are coeliac and there were so many dishes that were either gluten free or could be modified for us 😍

Pannara Suwannikkha

One of my go-to cafes with my partner – we’ve been here so many times and it never disappoints! The gluten-free bagel is absolutely delicious – great texture and flavour. But the highlight has to be the waffle fried chicken with honey sriracha syrup… sweet, spicy, crispy – just perfect. Everything looks as good as it tastes – definitely a great spot if you love taking food pics 📸 friendly service, and tasty food every time. Highly recommended!

My review is focusing on the set menu, but I was wanted to preface this by saying that this place is always nice, and always quite gluten-friendly. We came here for the set menu on New Years as a group of four and it was absolutely phenomenal. Unfortunately for us, though every item was delicious, the greatest hits were the items that aren't normally on the menu (I loooooved the beef tataki so much that we asked for more). No need to be scared or worried about there only being one option for the set menu, because every option was stunning. And I'm saying that as a relatively fussy eater. The staff were generally amazing, but something that stood out to me is how accommodating the staff were when it came to our celiac friend. In spite of it being a set menu, they managed to ensure that she had gluten-fres options, especially when it came to dessert and we finally got served our food separately. Would highly recommend for anyone that can't eat gluten, as we frequently come herd with that friend for the normal menu, as there are plenty of options to choose from. One thing to note about Mekong Baby is that it is more on the expensive side, but I wholeheartedly believe that it is worth it for the food and service.

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

Hilde Finstad

Very good service. Good selection of gluten-free dishes and our celiac felt confident that the dishes were gluten-free. Best gnocchi I've ever tasted!

Linda Gribble

What a little gem! They have a number of Gluten Free dishes, which attracted me to try them in the first place. Food was absolutely delicious, staff super friendly and service was quick. Plenty of parking at rear, off Moselle Ave. This will definitely now be my "go to" local cafe.

Anna Speranskaia

Such amazing hospitality, they ran out of gluten free bread and had someone go out and get me some, thank you for a delicious meal team! Will be coming back :)

Guido Locher

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

Maria Miller

Thank you for your lovely service. I organised a team dinner for 19 here. From Chloe who I was texting to organise the event, to the staff on the night who were all smiles and patient even when I got confused with the bill at the end (totally me and my bad maths) and the efforts they made on a special vegetarian, non dairy, non gluten roast! Not to mention the beef roast they did for us mid week! And the great mocktails for those not drinking as well as a great selection of alcoholic options. All round made for a very lovely evening and some very full and happy people! Thank you!

Amy Eagles

Lovely service from Sophia. Knowledgeable on the coeliac-safe options and catered to the kids’ fussy requests

Trish Liuaga

Burger Burger is a standout choice for burger lovers, and both the Commercial Bay and Newmarket locations deliver consistently high-quality experiences. The Newmarket branch, located in the trendy Osbourne Lane, is perfect for a casual meal, pre-movie date, or Friday night with friends. The menu features classics like the Beef & Cheese, Pan-fried Fish, and Kiwi Burger, alongside sides such as curly fries and shoestring fries, all cooked to perfection and full of flavour. Service at the Newmarket spot is known for being friendly and efficient, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. The decor has a lively, cool vibe, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. Parking is convenient, with options nearby, and the area offers plenty of other eateries if you feel like exploring. Burger Burger Newmarket also caters to groups and events, making it easy to book a table or even host a party. With vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options available, there’s something for everyone. If you’re after delicious burgers, great service, and a vibrant setting, Burger Burger Newmarket is definitely worth a visit.

Awesome service, good food and very accommodating for food allergies. Nice selection of Gluten free options. Our server, Tye and Chef Robin went above and beyond on great customer service. A nice welcome to New Zealand for us!

Ok I’ve passed this place 1,000s of times but have never eaten here. Man I’ve been sleeping because it’s sooo delicious. I ordered the fried chicken poke bowl that was already gluten free, because I cannot pass up on gluten free fried chicken. UGH this was delicious. The sweet sauce they had on it, the half avo, the generous ginger, the chicken was crunchy. Could’ve had more rice, but overall, so delicious. We sat outside in the sun which was lovely, and sheltered from the wind. My daughter enjoyed the little playground down below. We also ordered fries on the side that were crunchy and delicious. Cabinet food also looked good - mainly sweet stuff and a lovely Carmel gluten free slice. But I was too full to order it. Would come again 10/10.

Brigitte Dunbar

We came for a team dinner. There were 7 of us. We highly rated the organic chicken and short rib. They were just delicious. One of our team members is a celiac and had a reaction from the chicken dish. Although she had specified that she was a celiac at the time of ordering, and asked the server delivering her meal to make sure, she was still "glutened". Unsure what went wrong there, but Giraffe may need to assess their processes when handling gluten.

Rebecca McFadzien

Had a lovely dining experience here recently - made extra special by the care and amazing service from our waitress, Lina. Thanks Lina! I’m coeliac, so I ordered a gluten free vege burger and fries (which are fried in a separate gluten free fryer). Big thanks to the team for taking the extra precautions to ensure it was safe for me to eat at Butger Burger Takapuna. I’ll be back!

Turbo 91

Been there twice over the last few months, always great service and very delicious creative food options aswell as decent (iced) coffee. Also a good selection of delicious Gluten- free meals and desserts. I highly recommend trying their sweet Buckwheat waffles and the vanilla cheesecake. 👌 I also like their outside tables on the sidewalk beside a quiet street, at least on the weekends. Prices and quality match. I recommend trying it out yourself ☺️ Cheers

Debra Young

Stunning meals Mostly gluten free Definitely coming back

Grant Robinson

Consistently good food and coffee. Loads of gluten free options on the menu. Great value

Tobias Bircumshaw

Gareth the waiter was absolutely wonderful, he really put us at ease in the environment and was amazing with my coeliac disease. The escargot was great! Thanks so much for a great night chefs and Gareth, you were great and deserve a hefty raise!

MJH

I love this cafe! What I am most impressed by is their range of gluten free food available in the cabinet. Instead of the usual standard options - either a brownie or an orange cake, they have different slices and even a cheesecake on offer. Their coffee is also really good. The service was lovely and the interior and exterior is a nice all-round vibe. Love this little gem and always make a visit when I'm in Devonport.

Aneesha McKenzie

Beautiful food, lovely wine bar vibe, friendly helpful staff.... great place for a small group, will definitely visit again soon!!! Super Coeliac-friendly too :)

Sarah Bell

Amazing food and service. My 3 children have all got Coeliac Disease and they were so accommodating with the menu for them. The food was delicious and the staff are always so friendly and happy. Coffee is excellent to.

Barry Williams

I have been a regular at woknnoodle mt Eden for many years now and the food is always outstanding and well priced for the size of portions. The staff always have a warm welcome and will go out of their way to accommodate requests. They also offer gluten free, oil free & low carb options

Adriana Van Der Leest

Love JUST LIKE MARTHA!!! Each time we visit they have more on the menu that caters for gluten free and other food allergies. They are always happy to make variations on meals. The food tastes awesome! The staff friendly and helpful! It’s a busy cafe for good reason! Love that it’s walking distance from our house!

Meghan Bridgwater

Incredible lunch, could not fault it. The food and service were the highlights for sure but the atmosphere and decor were great too. Every single dish we ordered was delicious, the Pacifica Ceviche was the highlight. The menu sounded really interesting and delicious and it lived up to those expectations. The menu was very clear on what was vegetarian, vegan, dairy free and gluten free. The service from the whole team was great, attentive and informative, especially from our main server Olivia. She was really friendly and professional but still felt like being served by a friend which is exactly what I enjoy about nz hospo. The level of service from each team member was fantastic and I wish them all the best over this crazy season

Olivia B

Great coffee, really interesting menu with good gluten free options. I had the fried chicken eggs bene, was really yum. Good attentive and quick service.

Rolly Hay hay

What a surprising find, only due to a gluten free group. No idea this place existed. Awesome spot and the food was absolutely brilliant. You’d pay twice as much for half the food in the city and not get to look at cute little lambs in the field. The food was 10/10. If you haven’t gone. Go!

Julie B

Gluten-free toast ,had eggs and bacon. Very helpful 🙂

Kara LW

Service was amazing. Such lovely staff ! They had a seperate gluten free menu and also had gluten free soy sauce. Food was very yummy!

Aparna Menon

You guys are a savior for vegan people like us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Thanks for having so many gluten free options. Am coming positively to you going forward:-) As per our earlier comment, we had been today to have beasty burger and I must say I wasn't disappointed at all since it was one of the most filling and amazing vegan burgers I had. With an excellent and warm service. Special mention to add curly fries!!

Suzanne Cooper

My husband gets the creamy mushrooms every time he can and he says it’s the best of every where here. I like that they do awesome gluten free burgers.

Sebastian Sato

Adore going here every time we visit Auckland. Staff are always friendly and well informed about coeliac. I cannot get enough of the taquitos!

Jude Crosweller

Good savoury and sweet g/f options, usually a gluten and dairy free one as well.

Judith Brown

I was a bit stressed having to get some good take away gluten free food for my son in law. They were so busy and I went to walk out. I was encouraged to check the second menue and to do an order it would be like a 10 minute wait. Great service. I was also given a glass of water. Back to day for the same but 2 of them.

Alex M

Very cute cafe and nice staff but I was told many of the NGA labelled foods, eg pancakes, all fried foods (including in the salad) and morning smoothie (with oats) are no good for celiacs due to how they are prepared - which was disappointing. I did get a nice raw banoffee pie.

Ginger Williams

Amazing place!! Cosy, very kind friendly staff, a whole gluten free menu!! Absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back!

Olga Ozdemir

If you're hunting for the best pizza in North Shore, look no further! This restaurant offers an exceptional array of pizzas, each boasting a perfect balance of toppings and a divine sauce that complements the crispy crust wonderfully. What truly sets them apart is their gluten-free base—an absolute game changer. It's as delicious as their regular base, ensuring that everyone gets to enjoy their incredible pizzas without compromise. The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff are friendly, making each visit as enjoyable as the pizza is delicious. A must-visit for any pizza aficionado!

jess collett

Nicole was exceptional! So thankful to find a Resturant that was coeliac friendly and staff that were knowledgeable and accommodating. Cannot recommend this venue highly enough! The food and drinks were 10/10

Steve Walsh

We love Nanny's! JP and the team provide such an awesome experience we always keep coming back. Great food, great vibe. Very importantly have a wide rang of Gluten Free options.

Danny Amon

Melissa Rouse

Great food as always. Have been a fan of their Mt Eden store for many years but living on the Shore it was a bit of a drive. But Takapuna is perfect, great parking, super friendly staff and allergen knowledgeable. It's perfect if you're dining with people who are gluten free or dairy free or low carb (or another allergy) as they can easily customise the dishes. So many options and always delicious!

Lorna Hobo

A light and bright atmosphere, lovely staff, everything made on site including juice drinks, corn chips, tortillas, flan and salsa. Everything is Gluten Free!! Fresh and yummy. 😋 a Mexican fan must!

Phia Nem

Visited Hideaway for a bottomless with the girls for my birthday and absolutely loved it!! The food was amazing and the drinks were top notch! All of us left feeling very full either with drinks (wine, prosseco, cider or mimosas) or food! Very conscious of any dietary requirements and were able to adapt food where need - great for gluten free and vege/vegan! Food was delicious and drinks were plenty strong which made the bottomless all the more worth it! Can’t forget to mention lil buddy Jax who was nothing short of a friendly face to everyone! 10/10 would recommend to friends and come back - even just for a drink on a night out! The location is a bit hidden but still easy to locate and find our way in with plenty of signage on the main road!

The Lobster

Had the best Eggs Benedict I’ve ever had from here. The best coffee and hot chocolate too! They cater for Coeliac Disease.
