Top 49 Gluten-Free Dining Spots Across Hawke's Bay

Gill Stewart

Fish was nicely pan-fried. To many chips for a lunch meal but great if hungery, the salad had a nice light dressing. Good selection of gluten free options. Large range of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks.

Bobbie Cave

Had our sons wedding 60 guests on saturday 4 pm on . Food was great , everything they served was delicious . Staff were helpful nothing was a bother. There were quite a few ceoliac ( gluten free) and they were more than happy with food too and no one was unwell the next day . Couldn't speak more highly of food .venue etc

Giles Peach

Had a very pleasant coffee experience here in the past. This time came with Dad for afternoon tea. I am neither gluten averse nor vegan, but their Carrot Cake offering for those that are was most excellent. Lots of that nutty carrot cake texture, and a well balanced flavour. Perhaps if the otherwise excellent icing was slightly less sweet? The Booster smoothie was top tier, and something I'd happily order again. The great taste while still containing Spinach meant I felt healthier with every delicious sip. My Father gave the veggie quiche an impressive 8/10, which is extreme praise from a man who can complain about anything. When pushed to elaborate, he stated "it was very nice". High praise indeed. We'll be back.

Daniel K Munroe

We went there for an afternoon drink during Art Deco weekend, and then for dinner on the Sunday night. The food was great and the staff were very friendly and helpful, particularly young Nova(?) who served us for dinner. Around $30 for a really nice fish of the day. Our gluten free requirements weren't a problem, and we'll definitely return next time we're in Napier.

Nikki May

Catered for our allergies and Needs perfectly. I often avoid dining out due to being gluten free and my son With Egg/peanut allergies. But Alistar and Alana both put our minds at Ease. Absolutely beautiful meal that was cooked perfectly. Will definitely be back when we visit again from the Waikato. John and Nikki May 😀

Jo Morris

I love Sazio! Great service with a friendly, personal touch, and the food uses the best local produce to offer delicious food that changes seasonally. Good gluten free options too!

Steadman Sara

Super friendly staff and great outside seating. It’s hard to find a place where you can make sure you can eat there if you are gluten-free or celiac. But the Gintrap has heaps of glutenfree options available. As we asked the friendly waitress, she told us all about the glutenfree things. Some things are also got offered to be made celiac, she just mentioned that they can’t do the fried stuff celiac cause everything is fried in the same fryer. We ended up ordering a glutenfree pizza and a glutenfree burger and both of the meals were absolutely stunning.

Cedric

The restaurant is amazing: we have had the vegetarian shared menu with wine pairing and it was heavenly! The food, the wine and the staff was excellent - they even made sure that I got every meal gluten-free. And we were able to enjoy the dessert outside by the gardens...

Bas De Vries

Went there on a public holiday. No booking for lunch. 8 people. The place was busy. They offered us a place in the garden but said we would be a bit cramped around the table. I all worked out and we had a great time there. Almost all ordered the fish and chips at $32 a plate! Wow was it worth it! Everyone said it was the best fish and chips thy had in ages. Very generous portions of fish. Thy even did a gluten and dairy free plate too. No issues. Probably should have shared the plates, but everything was finished. We had a great white wine with our meal but I must admit I forgot witch one. Paid the 15% surcharge without any issues. Hope to go back again.

Kerry Crosby

Enjoyed a beautiful Hi Tea. Very pleasant. Lovely table service. Food very enjoyable. Gluten free options. Highly recommended.

Melanie Nicholls

Delicious meal, so tasty. We are both coeliac and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful, knew what they were doing.

Rapid Bubbles

Great gluten free options

Collette Fergus

Glad we found this delectable cafe before we left town. Out of everywhere we visited this week this one's was the best. Coffee was delicious , eggs Benedict with salmon and the big breakfast. Staff were attentive and the atmosphere was perfect. Loved bring by the seaside and how modern this cafe is. Definitely recommend a visit. My sidekick said the gluten free bread was the best he’s ever tasted. It’s made on site and looks delicious!

Pieter Rose Smissen

Excellent lunch - like Mexican Subway, only better! Has gluten free options and good Taco Tuesday special.

Marcus & Anna Smith

Went for a dinner with gluten free friends, we ordered drinks and four mains to share. Amazed that all but two of the options on the menu were gluten free. Food came out almost instantly and the flavours were incredible. We couldn’t even pick a favourite, they were all amazing. A bit disappointed we couldn’t try dessert as we were too full. Something to look forward to next time. Wait staff were attentive and friendly.

Teresa Allen

Small meal- great for coeliacs But it was tiny! Very noisy , rowdy. Great waitress who totally understood!

Bodhi Tsa-tsa

Mary’s is a great place to go for a casual or special meal! A great atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff and amazing food catering for gluten free and vegetarians! We adored the sweet and sour broccoli, delicious asparagus and the gnocchi was the best we had ever eaten. Very talented chefs 😋

Bronya Olendzki-Schulz

We had made a booking based on the fact they offered Gluten Free pizza bases and offered vegan cheese. Upon arrival they informed us they had run out of gluten free bases and when we asked if they offered any other meals suitable for a GF, DF, EF child they said they would check with the kitchen and get back to us, which they never did. We ended up walking out and finding a better establishment.

Harmony Gardens and Grub Ukulele Ha-ha-harmony

Delicious food, fantastic friendly customer service, gluten free options, and a groovy atmosphere. Highly recommend

Sally Davenport

I stopped by for lunch and a coffee. Coffee; mocachino with coconut milk was excellent. I had the vegetarian stack with bacon. Served promptly, plenty of spinach, bacon, portobello mushrooms, a little more capsicum dressing would have been appreciated. All up though lovely. I also appreciated their knowledge of dairy & gluten free food. Well trained. Would go again.

Jordan Smith

Alor of gluten free food and Great service, cheers max

Andrew Black

Excellent food and service. Our 3 young children and one coeliac dietary menu were all catered for. Not only is the food fresh and delicious, most of the vegetables are grown organically on site. The crockery and food presentation are a visual delight. Thank you.

Kwazy Canuck

Nice pub with a good selection of drinks and a great offering of gluten free food. We had the steak sandwich and it was delicious. Service was friendly and efficient.

Heather Dodson

Absolutely delicious meal! Amazing for gluten free, and was served quick as it was late on a Sunday evening. Honestly a fantastic service and food!

Marijana Mussell

Very delicious pizza. Gluten free base was yummy and salami amazing. Had the Italiano.

Kathryn Maloney

The Village Green cafe boldly announces gluten-free options in large lettering painted on its outside wall, so I was expecting a good choice for breakfast. Therefore, I was incredibly disappointed to find that my only choices appeared to include egg (which it's never cooked to my taste in cafes). When I asked if the granola was g-f, I felt the waitress and kitchen staff almost ridiculed me for asking such a dumb question. Trust me, it's not hard to make a g-f granola. So disappointing.

Rhys Cleverley

Excellent service from a well informed team member, sorry I didn’t catch her name lovely well spoken lady. Informed us of the gluten free options. The fish of the day was delicious so I’m told! I chose the lamb rump,, cooked just right with eggplant & peas,,, who would have thought that this would taste so good. Thanks very much. We will be back next time we’re in town

Shannen Commons

Gorgeous location in amongst the vines. Wine was served in lovely glasses pictured. Snacks were lovely & offered dairy and gluten free options. Easily bike ride or drive from Havelock North

Chloe williams

Jarks customer service was absolutely amazing I’m gluten free and they explained the process of how it cooks to be as gf as possible, one of the only places I’ve been out too that take allergy’s very seriously thank you jarks

Jo Thompson

A duty manager took our meal order and did not fill us with confidence that he understood our insistance that one meal had to be gluten free. Very small meals Staff passed plates in front of us to others at our table After asking if we wanted coffee or desserts and us replying can we have five minutes, they put a chemical through the coffee machine. So we were unable to have coffee. I don't imagine we will eat here again.

Dee Benevent

We just had a lovely Sunday midday snack at the Corner Café. The staff was friendly, service was fast and efficient. The food was correct, and the gluten free selection was especially appreciated. A lot of effort has obviously been put in the decoration and setup. On a sunny day the back garden would be the place to be, especially if your dog is of the party. They have live music inside on a regular basis and a nice terrace at the front. This is a good place for a stop in between Napier and Hastings, especially when you've already been everywhere else and are looking for a little gem of a café.

Cherie Collis

Always great food . Plenty of gluten Free selection Parking right outside.freindly staff . Clean toilets

Katie Mortlock

Do gluten free pizza, tasted pretty good.

Sandee Beattie

Awesome service, I am gluten free, when I told my waiter I thought I could not have the cheese sauce he let the chef know and I was made a cheese sauce without flour. EXCELLENT SERVICE!!

catherine mcgrath

Cade who was our waiter was absolutely amazing, he was knowledgeable about the menu and drinks and was a delight every time he came to the table. My friend who is coeliac was reassured by his confidence in the gluten free menu! We will return, thanks Caden

Marina Andrielli

Welcoming and refined location, perfect service, expertise in food and wine, gourmet dishes at almost popular prices. We were welcomed and pampered by Elisa, a dedicated and passionate super top manager. Particular attention is also paid to intolerances. Excellent gluten free and dairy free dishes. Absolutely not to be missed if you are in Napier!

Lizzie Oliver

I had a lovely gluten free takeaway. Thanks team, it was 👍great

Tony Matheson

Awesome beachfront equivalent restaurant and great tastings of the onsite wines there and great gluten free foods to have, well done Crab Farm Winery owners and the dedicated staff

Rebecca

LOVE LOVE LOVE the pizza here, definitely the best around. Hot and tasty and I like that they offer Gluten Free bases - which are also the absolute best gluten free pizza bases around. Can recommend the Chicken Cranberry Spring Onion pizza, one of our families favourites. There is a good offering for kids too and they love the kids sized pizza and choosing their own to have all to themselves. You won't be disappointed with Peak Pizza!

carl longstaff

Great local Chinese takeaway just outside of CPD in Napier. Open on New Years day which was a bonus when most of the other takeaways in Napier were closed. Upon ordering Combination Fried Rice as Gluten Free, the owner / chef came out to double check, amd advise that the beef and soy sauce contained gluten, so he was going to leave those two items out. It was awesome to find a takeaway where the owner knows his ingredients and his customers allergies, so we will definately be back here on our next trip to the bay.

Lizzie Oliver

Awesome lunch and coffee, they made a gluten free dish for me. Yum 😋

Carmelle Schofield

This is a place that we often go when visiting family in Hastings. Worth the drive as atmosphere, setting, service and food is always fantastic. Gluten free options are really good too, not your standard token nachos and gluten free sandwiches. Highly recommend the gluten free chicken. Delicious!

Tess Sykes

Gluten free options on asking

Fiona Ferris

Stunning environment, so chic. Beautiful food and a great drinks list. Good gluten-free options too and they are accommodating to celiacs. Parking could be an issue when it's busier but I'll worry about that at the time. We will be back!

Sue Willsone

Karen Haigh

We stopped in for lunch on Monday on arriving in Hawkes Bay for a brief holiday. The staff were very helpful in sorting out food that would meet my dietary requirements offering me gluten free options for gravy and cheese sauce to go with a large and delicious portion of roast beef with vegetables. I can definitely recommend them as a lovely place to eat especially if you have dietary needs.

Jonathan Hall (CapinNeemo)

Great experience, food was amazing. Large varied menu with lots of vegetarian and gluten free options avaliable. Fast and friendly efficient service, food was prepared promptly. The only niggle I would have was the heat but it was a 30 degree day outside so understable. Been here a second time and was just as good as the first, amazing food highly recommend
