Top 28 Gluten-Free Dining Spots Across Southland

Quill Cooper

Came by here post-hiking trip to try the Eat Me burger on a gluten free bun. Oh my goodness! It's a bit messy to eat as it's so packed with good stuff, but so yummy. Well worth the price. The place is cute too, with good atmosphere, great service, and a speedy kitchen.

Pricy but we received excellence and are so impressed with the food and coffee. Love the decor and timber of the original homestead. We were served by such a lovely lady which is a bonus. There is art for sale on the walls which was also a nice extra touch. So delishish, glad we came. Added a pic if the hand cut fries, we do not know how they were so yum!! Maybe fresh grown or good potatoes? Gluten free caramel slice was beautiful, the base was like shortbread. They were very accommodating for my children, there were some toys and fun puzzles and they split a milk shake into 3 small glasses. The meals coming out looked incredible.

Great atmosphere. We were very impressed by the gluten free menu... how often do you strike a restaurant with an entire GF menu option!

Trisha Durie

Excellent food, friendly staff. Lots of gluten free choices. Highly recommend. My partner loved the chowder!

Sarah Roberts

Lovely dinner at The Fat Duck. Do recommend booking in for a seat. Service was friendly and food was very tasty. Lots of gluten free and dairy free options.

Food is okay. Fryer is not suitable for coeliacs (despite steak) etc being listed as gf. They will offer substitutes etc but maybe look into changing this? Items may be gf by ingredient but you shouldn't be labeling them as this if you put everything into the same fryer (worked hospo for years - it's not hard to differentiate and train staff on). You could make someone seriously sick. Clear labeling provides comfort for everyone. Overall a good place for a bite but the service is also very rushed.

Great service and great food. I'm also Coeliac and while the menu was limited for me I still managed a meal and desert. Many places will tell you they can cater for coeliacs and end up contaminating their food, not these guys tho 🙂

Excellent bagels, wide choice of toppings. Also very nice that there were gluten-free nails and options.

Jenna Ward

SO AMAZING!!! Second time here and does not disappoint! Blonde one is so friendly and funny really made our visit one to remember! Casey is very friendly and informed us on the menu and any questions we had. Food was super quick as likely as it was a monday! Would be worth the wait though. So flavourful and large portions, provide vegan options(tofu) and gluten free. The restaurant had amazing vibes, decoration and music on point. I will be back again. Ive travelled to thailand and this is just the same. SYS!!!

Philip Welch

Anthony Miller

I absolutely loved my takeout tonight !! They were able to make my meal vegan and gluten free which was Great and reasonable priced !!

Brenna O'neill

10/10 food and service, heaps of gluten free options, the speciality dishes from southern India were delicious. Will definitely be back. Also lovely atmosphere with lots of nice lighting and a fire.

Melanie Duncalf

Pretty good food for a small town pub in NZ. They have a variety of gluten free options and the lemon cake was very moist. They have a terrace out the back but unfortunately it just overlooks the road. The staff were friendly and helpful but did look a little rushed off there feet when we came to leave. I would go back if I was in the area but wouldn't make a special trip.

Phillip Aston

Great for gluten free grandson, one of his favorites.

Anna Armstrong

Amazing pizza, best glutenfree base I've had. Delicious, non greasy and full of flavour

Scott Hellyer

Catered very well for Gluten Free and Dairy Free, the same as any other Thai restaurant does. Sadly though, they have no gluten free soy sauce so the meal was VERY bland. Strongly suggest you buy some GF soy sauce. Your customers will appreciate it. :-)

Aaron Bryce

What a pleasant surprise. By far the best dining experience we have had in our 2 week stay in New Zealand. I had the Rib Eye and it was cooked to perfection and served with vegetables and accompaniments (so no need to seperately order and pay for sides as many restaurants annoyingly do these days) Portion size was generous. My partner had the Salmon and was equally happy with her meal. The wine we drank perfectly complimented our meals and we could not fault the service or the atmosphere. On another note as a coeliac they catered well for my dietary requirements. Well done and keep up the great work.

Emma

Fantastic food! Beautifully presented friendly staff. Gluten free options available. Bluff oysters special 😁 worth a drive. New owners have done well.

Karlene Lee

Great cafe bar to meet friends after work. Watch some sport, enjoy a range of bar snacks or choose from a great selection of drinks, and sit in front of the generous gas fire. A couple of gluten free options

Neil Fernandes

Nice meal options. Always pleasing to see sweatbreads on the menu. What really pleased me though was that they comped one of our meals when the gluten free substitute wasn't clarified before serving. Really impressive as we weren't THAT disappointed but they went out of their way to make it right. Thank you

Suzanne Carter

You can't beat the view sitting outside enjoying a wonderful coffee and food, including a Jimmy's pie and gluten free slices. Well worth the stop.

Alan Scicluna

Great food with gluten free options very welcoming

Lee Rundle

Came here for a meal while visiting a friend in the area. The quality of the food and service was beyond our expectations. Supoer friendly people and they were able to provide gluten free fare. Would definitley recommend stopping if you are passing through this quaint little town

Blake Lumpkins

The chicken fried rice was very good and they were flexible to accommodate a gluten free diet

Michal Gray

We went to Euna for a birthday lunch, the food was exceptional and all allergies were catered for. I had the most delicious gluten free hand made fettuccine. The waiting staff were lovely, relaxed and attentive.

Karon Turipa

Beautiful meal, best we have had in a long time - wide range gluten free menu available very friendly staff totally recommend

April van Es

Friendly welcome as soon as we stepped through the door. I loved my gluten free blue cod and chips, and my Virgin Mojito was perfect too. You'll notice my husband thought the fries were delicious too - my photo shows his fork stealing a chip LOL
