To echo the other reviews, what an amazing find! We shared the Pernod prawns, my husband had the lasagna (which automatically came gluten free) and I enjoyed pizza with the best gluten free base I've ever had. Large portions and all very tasty. Loved that the ciders, wines etc were all NZ. The staff were clearly busy but were really friendly. Cool atmosphere. I would definitely recommend!

We were lucky to experience this fine establishment before the busy season. Despite not any other options in kaiteriteri these guys knock it out of the park. Gluten free options, yummy enough food to order it again the next time your in, staff who actually are happy to serve and appreciate the patronage, but also A funky deck. Our only Complaint: the lit up Stage, with the lonely guitar that didn’t see any action. That in addition to them not asking Glenn Thorpe to Do a set:). Rock on Beached Whale. Canadian Travel Mongers stamp of approval gladly !!

I just called dominos (Richmond) to see if they could do a fully Gluten free pizza for my dad (he's celiac so he can't have any gluten, if it touches something with gluten in it he will react) The lady I talked to was amazing! (Emma? She was a manager) So lovely! She said they can do gf and she will use new toppings and a new cutting tool and cut plate to make sure there will be no cross contamination! She was bright and happy to do it for me, I'm so happy with their customer help!

We were on holiday last week. On the first night we decided to try the stables because our young son has celiac. We told the waitress when she took our drink order and she informed the chef. The chef even went so far as to double check which of our children was celiac by coming to our table. Our son was able to enjoy fish and chips with the family. It was made in its own gf fryer. Afterwards, he had a warm gf brownie with cream for dessert. He had zero adverse side effects which usually come on 48-72 hours after eating gluten. It went so well that we decided to come back 5 days later for dinner. Everything was fabulous from the wait staff to the cocktails (I highly recommend the berry fizz). Will be back the next time we are in Nelson.

Beautiful spot! Super yum and fresh. Have to bring my gluten free friend here as they had a loaf called “the gluten free” (buckwheat, SD, flax, chia, yeast, rosemary oil). Highly recommend the stringy bacon and cheese croissant. Will make sure to grab something from here every time I go through Takaka

Quaint lovely food, built during the second world War by conscientious objectors as a commune, still true to the style this cafe serves local and organic, gluten free. Vegetarian and vegan food staff very pleasant and helpful. Pretty busy at lunch time with outdoor seating in the sun or inside if you prefer. An amazing garden setting with massive collection of cacti of all different shapes and sizes to wonder at. Great for late morning or afternoon in the sun

Coeliacs beware - after being assured my meal was gluten free to a coeliacs standard I found oats in the cracker. The rest of the day and the next I was very unwell. Beautiful food, but not worth the risk.

Beautiful meal. Fresh and tasty. With great care paid to our requirements. One of us wanted her curry extra hot (which is 2 levels above Kiwi hot!). They came to follow up and brought her chopped green chillies which she happily stirred in her dish. Beautiful naan too. I am glutenfree and miss naan bread - they tried making GF naan a while back but it didn't work well enough for them to add to their menu. We will be back.

My husband and I recently had an evening out at Zatori. We had a beautiful meal. The food was delicious! I was especially happy as most the menu was gluten free, which meant I could try most of the dishes. The location is lovely, looking out over the water and mountains. Great spot at sunset! If you are looking for a restaurant with healthy and delicious food, made with loving intention, Zatori is worth a visit!
