Top 50 Gluten-Free Dining Spots Across Wellington

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.

Roger WADDELL

Great variety of food, including gluten-free.

Maya Shiraiwa

Such a cool spot on the corner of cuba! Great prices for generous portions and a lovely atmosphere. Staff are always lovely and so good about dietaries! I’m coeliac, dairy and nut free and feel very safe eating here (disclaimer: obviously there’s still risks!), would definitely recommend for vegans and vegetarians too! Only thing I’ve noticed after coming here a few times is the gluten free pasta can be way too salty at times. (Don’t think this is always the case but I think it might be from over salting the water as gf pasta absorbs so much more than regular pasta & it’s not the sauce that’s too salty).

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.

Linda

Delicious food. Everything is celiac safe. Excellent cocktails and wines. Friendly service

Karen & Alan Shaw

The food was beautiful, the injera bread was awesome and the staff so kind. Nice to have a whole vegan menu and pretty much everything was gluten free. Will definitely be back!

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!

Marc Torrey

Had an excellent gluten free fish and chips. GF batter and dedicated fryer produced a delectable, non-greasy batter-dipped fish and accompanying fries. Super helpful wait person too!

Jesse Drabble

Such a great staple of Wellington. Good coffee and some solid gluten free options. The staff are wonderful 🥰

Kelly Gray

Just enjoy being here, good menu. Only suggestion would be to add more gluten free and dairy free options

Clive McArthur

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

Alex Pannekoek

We had our wedding reception here and it went amazingly. Their venue coordinators are excellent and covered everything perfectly. Such an easy venue to book for events. The sliders were delicious and they clearly marked the gluten free options for our guests. The rear room (venue room) has great sound and lighting setups which can easily be adjusted as we liked. We will likely hire out again for future events.

B Bell

As a really reactive coeliac, I’m always on the lookout for reviews that help me eat safely. I’d love to help out another coeliac! Fratelli was a lovely experience in all aspects! Staff were reassuring polite, and helpful on the phone, and catered for me beautifully. Attentive, polite, and knowledgeable service. Enjoyable atmosphere. Great wine. We ate here for 2 of the 3 nights we were in Wellington. Delicious pasta and pizza, plus sides. I didn’t experience any symptoms and felt secure that no cross contamination would occur. If we visit Wellington again, I’d be keen to go again! It’s rare to feel so safe and I’m frothing for how safe and lovely our evenings were! Thoroughly recommend.

Erin Vennell

Absolutely delicious! They were able to make the pork enchiladas gluten and dairy free, and it wasn't lacking in the least.

Otinel Meszaros

I had the big cook-up. It was great. I was hungry and it hit the spot. My wife is gluten, dairy, nut, egg free. She ordered the coconut salad and said it was great too. Nice view as well

Jay Oliver

I ordered from here via Uber eats last night. I've recently been diagnosed as celiac, so I can not eat anything with gluten, so I ordered their gluten-free pizza base. When the pizza arrived, it was freezing cold, and half of the entire crust was burnt to a crisp, and the crust was inedible. The pizza was disgusting and I paid an outrageous price ($36.19) for it with no refund. I never had a bad experience with their food before being diagnosed as celiac but this was extremely disappointing and disgusting, I will not be going back.

Brett Reid

Never had Sri Lankan food before, but the flavours were delicious. Gluten free friendly. Informed and helpful staff. The tea sommelier was very knowledgeable. We went for Burger Wellington and would happily return for three-course menu.

Sally Stellini

Recently returned from a holiday in New Zealand and took a cable car to view the beautiful gardens and on the way back we saw this restaurant as we were so hungry and decided to try it. I am so glad we did!!! I ordered the scotch fillett and asked for it to be gluten free with a cappuccino to be lactose free. The waiters/waitresses are all very lovely and ever so helpful. When the meal came out I was flabbergasted. It looked absolutely amazing. It was decorated with the most colourful and beautiful edible flowers and when I cut into it, it was like butter! The most tender and delicious steak I have ever had and it was on a stack of vegetables with roast potatoes and mushrooms. Compliments to the Chef! It was absolutely delightful! And the price was only $28.00 AMAZING!!! THIS REVIEW IS THE LEAST I COULD DO. Thank you so very much for making my trip more memorable. If I ever come back to New Zealand I will make sure I come and eat at your wonderful restaurant. Thanks again

Annette Davison

Food here is made with love. Well thought out dishes that are layered with flavor. My only criticism is the gluten free bread from the supermarket. Not nice.

Nina

Kind staff who were very accommodating to dietary needs (low fodmap/gluten free). Delicious food too :)

Luci McDougall

I could not recommend this place more! I am gluten free and allergic to sea food and all was accomodate too with ease! They were super lovely and understanding. Food was super delicious and the amount you were given was great. Super affordable and lovely staff!

Reda_Katz

Despite how busy the resturant was the service was friendly and fast. The food is excellent and plenty of option for vegetarians, vegans, dairy free and/or gluten free individuals. Strongly recommend enjoying a meal here.

Kerryn Little

Went to Wildfire on Tory St in Wellington this weekend with our coeliac 5yo. When told about her dietary requirement, they went above and beyond! They made a safe starting platter and a platter of a range of sides, just for her! She was living her best life. They also came out to speak to her and tell us what was in each item and treated her like a princess. We have never been hosted so well 100/100 would recommend!

Roxy cinema's a very cool place to visit 🌻💚❤️ Look closely and you'll notice the carefully selected furnishings, objects & memorabilia. Just love the tease intro to the movie too "those are real Italian leather you know" yep I dislike feet on the back of my seat too! Lol Nice selection of cabinet food, along with fine dining. Lovely choc top ice creams, coffee, Prosecco - mmm, jaffas, & gluten free options! Other cabinet treats are yum & it really has brightened up Miramar. Their Gatsby themed event a few years back was fabulous! 😍 I even had a hot & sozzled LOTR star approach me when I collected my friend 😂 I've heard all their events are pretty neat 🎉🎊💃🕺 Thankyou to the clever minds & open wallets that help make the Eastern suburbs a magical place 😍🤗

A.J. Ponder

Amazing. My favourite Wellington cafe with a few great gluten free, dairy free options. The husband popped in for two slices of cake for my birthday and came home with this gorgeous wee lemon meringue cake.

WOW! After asking for a table for 6 and being told it would be at least 15 mins away, Zelda scurried away and made it happen much faster. As we were waiting we were reading the menu concerned the coeliac of the group wouldn’t be able to eat anything. But they other staff told us all but two meals could be accommodated for. All 6 of us really enjoyed our food, from the chicken salad through to the porridge. The vibes were chill, we enjoyed our catch up! Zelda was incredible and made us feel so welcome and helped us with the food allergies. And the coeliac can confirm that their house made sourdough is delicious 🧡 as were all the rest of our meals. I want to have a jar of the marshmallow squares and the candied walnuts 🤤

Veronica OGrady

Positive - the menu offered gluten free options and appreciated being able to eat safely as I am a celiac. Negative - for a beautiful Wellington day with women’s expo across at TSB and a cruise ship docked, the level of staffing was not right. Service was slow, with a rushed and harassed customer experience. Had to wait to be served, seated, order taken and food to be delivered. Even asking where our food was difficult because the server clearly thought everyone else waiting meant we shouldn’t query. She said she would go check but we never saw her again. For a simple order of two bowls of fried and cheesy bread and eggs on gf toast, it shouldn’t be a 30 min wait. Negative - our food eventually came out lukewarm. So it had been cooked but sitting somewhere waiting for a server to bring out. The chips looked amazing but barely warm. My eggs on gf toast was terrible. The gf toast was as hard as a rock and no butter on it. I feel ripped off that such a simple dish was served below average and not worth the money I spent on it. The outdoor seating area was messy with uncleared dishes and food waste on the ground. It wasn’t a welcoming place to eat and I’d be hesitant to take my family there again.

Lovely pub and great pub quiz. Also they stock gluten free beer 🥳

Jan Thompson

We were a large group and had a set menu Fantastic service by all the staff, food was delicious and there was lots of it. Great value for money. Chef’s catered really well with a gluten/dairy/soy friend. If only I lived closer ! Thanks so much for a great evening

C C

Delicious Indian food made with care. Owners are very aware and sensitive to food allergens - the menu is clearly marked and the majority of dishes are both gluten and dairy free! And of course, there are plenty of veg and vegan options. We had the onion bhajis as a starter - delicious and GF/DF! I ordered the goat biryani GF/DF, and my family ordered the roti chenai, butter chicken which they enjoyed also. Highly recommend for a delicious meal in a relaxed family owned restaurant.

M. Lang

Went for lunch. I had free range eggs on toast with spinach and gluten free toast, quite pricey for it. See the picture. Salmon was not available when we were there. Pasta with lamb ragu was tasty and fair price. Well located in Cuba Street, busy at lunch time. Cakes at fair cost. Friendly staff.

Tara Willans

Great service, great food and large portions, clean restaurant and bathrooms. Good vegetarian and gluten free options. Busy but quick service and food. Would visit again.

mat

Most of the shops are closed so not much choice, but definitely a couple of awesome ones there still, miss kangsta and the one next to it have some great gluten free options

AJ Williams

Coeliac safe, seperate fryer and prep area. Server was coeliac and said she love it there because they get it.

Leslie Fitt

I eat gluten free and had the lamb salad and it was awesome

Rochelle

The food was superb! Awesome flavours and great range of varied menu options. Loads of vegetarian and gluten free options.

Emma Ward

My favourite Thai place in Wellington! Delicious food, great flavours and spices, reasonable price point. Great options for a range of dietaries. Have been with a big group including gluten free, vegan and dairy free and everyone’s found something delicious to eat. Highly recommend the red curry and alcoholics noodles.

Stephanie C

Great food - My only issue was the service, had a few servers and a few of them weren’t sure about the Gluten free options and questions seem to pass from server to server. In the end the manager(?) was serving us. I also couldn’t help to feel that we were judged based on our look and age cuz everything went friendlier when we paid lol. We had a few platter of oysters, starters and mains (only took a few photos). All delicious as anticipated but perhaps the service was a little less smooth so 4 stars

Siobhan Costello

My friends and I absolutely love the nachos, can't stop spending our money here! Absolutely fabulous customer service, always super friendly and welcoming staff. Perfect for my vegetarian friend and my coeliac needs. Our favourite place to eat out, hands down.

Renée Norman

We went in for Burger Wellington. Being Ceoliac i didn't have any expectation that they would offer a GF bun much less know about the importance of cross contamination.. But they did! Our server Chelsea explained that they had a dedicated fryer for the chips and could make a version of the burger completely gluten free. The bun was yummy and the meat was perfectly cooked. We moved home to NZ from the UK and miss our local pub atmosphere, they had Première league football highlights playing and our booth felt very cosy away from the Wellington winter weather. I had been here in the past and it was OK but this recent experience has me impressed. With so few options in this part of the CBD I'll be thinking of it for my next "long lunch"

Dean Walker

The photos of the food don't do justice to it. It was delicious, so most of the plates were devoured by the time the pics were taken. This Japanese themed restaurant is cozy, creating a warm atmosphere. We went with the chefs suggestions at $85 per head for 9 plates. That gave us great range from the menu to try dishes we might not otherwise have selected. One of the three was a gluten free selection. An example would be the gf Cauliflower, which was surprisingly yummy and from the standard menu the eggplant was amazing and something I likely wouldn't have ordered. The plates varied in size and there was plenty to satisfy each of us by the time we were finished. A small delicious ice cream scoop desert finished of the 9 plates.

Philippa McQueen

A perfect evening from every perspective. Warm, welcoming, excellent service, interesting menu (including a specifically gluten free menu), delicious food, great wines and reasonably priced - truly a 5 star experience.

Rew Clausen

Catered to Gluten free needs nicely, thanks team, awesome food and service

Steph Chalmers

Best frozen margis and tacos in Wellington. Heaps of gluten free options

Akiko

We had a wonderful dining experience here on Wednesday night. The food was really flavourful – each dish we shared was a delight. As one of our party is celiac, we were thrilled to find so many gluten-free choices. Our server was outstanding, ensuring our water glasses were always full and providing excellent service. The restaurant was busy and had a great atmosphere. This place is always busy no matter what day of the week whenever I walk past. Now I know why. We'll definitely be back!

Alex Lippitt

We came in early and the food was prepared fast. My partner is celiac and they had lots of options for her. Cold Vietnamese coffee is a must. I also enjoyed the summer rolls

Tracy Lancaster

Average menu if you’re gluten free and totally inflexible on offering alternatives. Wouldn’t return.

Chenin Madden

Amazing gluten free toast and detox smoothie 😋

Maya Adler

One of my favourite restaurants in Wellington and I’m not a vegetarian. I’m gluten free so book ahead. They do an incredible job accommodating me. I never feel like I’m missing out on any course. Their gluten free bread alone is worth the trip as it is truly a marvel. The service is always impeccable and it’s a great spot for a special occasion. I highly recommend!

Russell Paget

Different way of eating I enjoyed the experience but my partner did not They were helpful with her gluten free though I would say go give it a try 😜
