Top 15 Gluten-Free Dining Spots to Delight in Wānaka

Sarah Capon

I was recommended to go here as a coeliac and wasn’t expecting a buffet style eatery - the food was okay.I went there twice and the first time the hot cabinet had only GF trays of food (which made me comfortable), but then the next day I came for breakfast and they did have one non-gf tray in the same cabinet. This made me uneasy, especially as the tray was the second row in, meaning the spoonfuls of food would have to travel over other gf trays and potentially contaminate them.

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!

I love a good burger and this place didn't disappoint! Having both Gluten and Dairy allergies it can be hard at times when eating out but they were super accomidating and the mofo burger was super tasty and filling! They even provided a child's seat for our little one to sit and enjoy a hot chip or two

Dined at Kika as a Coeliac diner and had a wonderful experience, staff were knowledgeable and helpful and the entire experience was amazing.

Friendly staff, delicious food. They have gluten free and vegan options on the menu, and if you ask they are very accommodating!

We dined here on Tuesday night, with my partner. It's a funky space, the staff were super friendly and very accommodating to my partner's coeliac requirements. Really enjoyed the meal!

Best burrito I’ve had on this side of the pacific. And multiple vegan options! Staff are kind and very aware of my food allergies and dietary restrictions, and they are happy to modify things for me. Would love to see the addition of vegan mayo & gluten free burritos someday! :)

Kim Belshe

Very attentive to customer dietary needs… gluten Intolerant and dairy free, for example. We really appreciated them going the extra mile to address our dietary concerns and produce very tasty food!

When everyone else makes you book in advance, The Cow let us wait for a table while enjoying a nice glass of vino. My coeliac husband has been talking about his GF pizza ever since we left that night. Staff are pretty cool too. We tried to go back the next night but unfortunately it was the night they're closed - so it looks like we have to go back to Wanaka!

Krystene Todd

Fabulous food. Outstanding service. With a diner who was gluten, dairy and caffeine/chocolate intolerant we left the choice up to the chef and were thrilled with what we were served. Outstanding!

Claire

Every single dish we ordered was fantastic - especially the venison tartare and scampi dog! The menu did not disappoint and good thing the menu is designed for sharing. Service was excellent despite being short handed. Gluten free, dairy free, vegan options available - highly recommend to visit & book in advanced. Wish we had more stomach space for the rest of the menu!

Called in late last week for dinner (one gluten and dairy free plus two others), two of us had the big platter which looked intimidating when it arrived but was the perfect size for two hungry people. I had the burger, which again was excellent - the venison was our most liked . Busy and great service.
