Marissa Shipley

Fantastic coeliac safe Fish and Chips - old school and delicious.

chris thompson

Mainly 3 stars because I'm gluten free but can't eat carbs and like lots of grease and fat

Chris Davis

Went for the $30 Sirloin special on Wednesday nights, this is on the window as you enter, definitely my suggestion would be to put it on the website. Delicious medium cooked steak and I could taste the flames from the grill too. Matched well with a Cab Sav too. The pinnacle moment was when the amazing head waiter brought out a gluten free small birthday cake. Highly recommended, support local

Nicole Fröhlich

Rachel de Vries

It was amazing And I loved that they did Gluten free!! That was the best!

Ben Smith

Quality fish'n'chips, have a gluten free fryer so the coeliac in the family didn't miss out. Super busy at peak times. Recommend ordering online for pick up.

Cherie Campion

This needs 8 ⭐️ stars. Beautiful gluten free pasta. Top service. 💯 returning here one day!! The #chocolatecake is to die for!!

Joanna Paul

Stopped for some tea and coffee but ended up ordering The Briscoff Dream which took longer than expected and yummy hot chocolate. Beautiful quotes across the cafe. Plenty of gluten free option available. Was a bit crowded and had to stand in line and worth it though.

Love this place so much. One of my absolute fav Go-To places. Excellent gluten free range of food. Great service. Great view and atmosphere.

Sarah Capon

As a coeliac and lactose intolerant person I was happy to find a place that was able to safely cater for breakfast and lunch! I didn’t love my breakfast, but I LOVED the chicken Vietnamese salad I had for lunch. Like it was the best lunch I had in my New Zealand travels. They are coeliac aware and take extra care with gluten free meals. Nice staff members and pleasant atmosphere. Enjoyed my coffee too!

anna röttger

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!

Fleur Kenny

So thankful for all the wonderful reviews and suggestions. This place was divine - a separate GF menu and the most delicious GF seafood pasta and GF carbonara pasta. Service was so good!!!

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.

Rebecca Greenslade

Epic gluten free and vegetarian pizza with heaps of toppings. So good, thanks guys!

Andrea Gore

Great good! Jay was a great server and had good food knowledge of intolerances and food preferences (coeliac and vegan)

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.

Shona Hickey

Great customer service - good wine selections and food well priced. A lot of Gluten free options and a bonus gf complementary shortbread with my coffee - that made me very happy.

Sophie Tynan

Some of the best food we have ever had. Super fresh produce and so much thought and flavour packed into each dish. Great for people for gluten and dairy intolerances. Will definitely come back.

Sophie

So grateful this restaurant exists. Celiac safe. Amazing food, great service.

Roger WADDELL

Great variety of food, including gluten-free.

Nicola

Absolutely love this cafe. I'm celiac and they have their own cabinet just for gulten free item's. They have tongs just for gulten free item's. The Hot Chocolate are gulten free. Mocca is gulten free first time I had a mocca I could literally enjoy. No zing or burn no reaction. Warm kind staff. Environment very Cosy. Easy to hear conversations. They truly understand people who are allergic.

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 :(

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.

simone cecil

GF is amazing!! thank you

Amelia Firth

Thank you team for such a wonderful dinner tonight! You catered for our two families, including young children. Everything was perfect! Delicious food and huge portions! Kids food was fantastic and was brought out first (so kind) We sat outside and the kids could run around and play on the grass area and even play with a game set you lent them. Two of us were celiacs and you catered perfectly for us. Highly recommend! We will definitely be back 🥰

Bramble Holder

Lots of vegan and Gluten free options Lovely staff Blankets outside Not too noisy Does cafe Vienna Only critique is one of the doors in looks like the main entry but is in fact entry to the kitchen

Sarah Capon

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

Delores Larson

Bernadette J

A Godsend for gluten free eaters traveling thru. It's nice enough to sit in and make an event of it but they're happy to pack it to go, too.

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!

Lynette Sefton

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

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.

Clive McArthur

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

Mel Farrow

Delicious gluten free food with dedicated menu. We enjoyed 3 courses and we never do that! Amazing service too loved it.

Justin Keller

American tourist here. NZ has been so gluten free friendly it’s been wild. Never imagined ordered GF French toast haha. I wasn’t even hungry but wanted to support this 100% gluten free store.

Lily Schubert

Highly recommend Mikes Bistro. We had a lovely meal and great selection of cocktails. The deserts were delicious. They also provide a huge range of Gluten Free meals. It made our experience that much better as our daughter had a lot to choose from. The service was great, very friendly staff.

Keiron Adlington

Have been here before and enjoyed the experience so thought we’d give it another go. Smashed Avocado Bagel (with Salmon as an add-on) was generous and the salmon portion very generous. Bagel was very tough to cut with a knife though but maybe being gluten free had something to do with that? Very tasty though. We also had the Poke Bowl which was underwhelming. Not the traditional bowl at all, as it was on a plate. No sign of coriander in the rice, no kewpie mayo, no crispy shallots and no sweet chilli (all were advertised on the menu). Pretty disappointing for $32.90 and our two meals and bottled juice made it an $80 lunch.

Sam Goodin

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

Antonio Hanna

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

Paul Brunton

Totally tasty burgers. Gluten free and friendly helpful service. The cauliflower tits were an absolute treat.

Aistė Kandrotienė

One of the best gluten free muffins I have ever had!

Mateo Winter

What a debacle! Just a couple of snacky ski bums craving a tasty gluten free tender meal after a cracking on the maunga. We love chicken, so this seemed like the perfect choice. It was not. When you think of a chicken tender you think of golden, juicy, tasty, crispy... But how wrong we were to rely on the website photos. What we received was an unseasoned, insipid, whiter than the snow tender with really no redeeming features. For an outfit that specialises in chicken, this was exceptionally bad. Only plus side to this whole shamozzle was the chips. Thank goodness Briscoes and Woolworths are close by to grab the other couple of necessities on this trip. We're not angry, we're just disappointed. Protip: Woolworths is just down the road. Grab yourself a packet of Waitoa gluten free burger fillets and some Makakihi Fries and you'll be waaaaay happier than us. Edit: old mate Owner is (again) saying it was a kids meal... Absolutely wasn't! ...not sure how long they can keep hiding behind that. Poor form to be honest. Get down to countdown - 3x the food, 10x the taste for less pesos

Kaili Diamond

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

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 😍

Vendel Hansen

Good gluten free pizza

Felix Mann

Delicious with coeliac friendly options (they have a separate fryer). I loved my burger and my partner enjoyed a gluten free breakfast option. Toni really looked after us. Recommended!

sam scott

Great afternoon view over the bay, I had a gluten free fish and chips which were cooked in a separate fryer which is fantastic as a coeliac. Fish batter was light and crunchy and shoestring chips were great. Very relaxing spot. Thank you

Rebecca Baillie

This is our Friday night go too and they never fail to be amazing! Always fresh ingredients and so delicious!! I have the gluten free bun and it’s so good! Couldn’t recommend enough if your visiting the island
