Top 9 Gluten-Free Seafood Havens Across New Zealand

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.

Excellent and delicious Gluten Free menu (they can provide dairy free options as well). Very friendly staff. Environment is classic and relax. Would truly recommend.

The Big Breakfast was big, the long black was delicious, the staff were friendly with a smile and a quip whilst still professional. I can't understand the poor reviews. Our meal arrived in good time - it was obviously freshly cooked. I asked for GF, and nothing was too much trouble. They swopped out my sausage for halloumi, and they hid a tasty tomato under the bacon. Best bit - the potato rosti/hash brown. Beautifully seasoned. There was a whole shelf of gluten-free sweet treats, 7 options! If only I'd had room after breakfast.

Really friendly service...and i can get great quality gluten free fish and chips, they know the difference between fad and celiac. Always stop here when visiting.

Came in for a quick lunch. My partner ordered the fish and chips with mushy peas Gluten free and I had the pork tacos, beef brisket lollipops and the chips. Atmosphere was nice and chill. Quiet for a Saturday lunch time but there was a lot going on outside. Service was quick and easy. The server helped my partner who had a bee sting which was much appreciated. Food came out fast and was temperature hot. The chips were the best thick cut pub chips I’ve had in a while. Good amount of salt and perfect amount of aioli. The fish was cooked well and wasn’t dry. The brisket lollipops had great seasoning and flavours were sweet and fragrant. The corn tortillas on the tacos did fall apart more than I’d like but everything else for the taco was delicious. The salsa and mole were delicious with the pork. Haven’t had a bad meal at The Kestrel to date. Thanks team

Lindsay Blackman

Fabulous food and people. Recommend you book first. Dairy free and gluten free options

Overpriced for small portions served with a side of attitude for free; rushed to order and felt unwelcoming and like we’d done something wrong before even speaking. Also says gluten free can be accommodated on a sign outside but when asked, we were told no (no further context or explanation) and felt like we couldn’t ask anything else.

Always visit this lovely place when I'm in Morueka. Food is excellent. Good range of gluten free options. Staff a great and good fun. Thanks again

Candice Tripp

Walking around my first day after 36 hours of traveling, I walked by this place and seen the advertisement for Gluten Free fish and chips! Hit the spot and had no issues! Thank you so much!

Erin Philipp

Had the best kumera chips of my life here today. Cooked perfectly. Was also happy to see gluten-free options (photo attached). Next time I’m definitely getting the GF corn pattie. Coeliacs: note that the GF food is cooked in the same oil as gluten products so it won’t be safe for you.

Came on 18th November 2023 for a birthday celebration, excellent service from initial phone booking to everything on the night, food was fantastic highly recommend the platters but for me the Vegetarian Pizza was absolutely delicious we thoroughly enjoyed our night here and thought it was good value for money. Great selection for our gluten free members of the group too, Thanks Fainting Goat for a great night😊

Tina Smith

Great place! The staff is really nice and the food is amazing. They also offer gluten-free options, which is a plus!

Olivia Silvester

I thought the mushroom risotto I had was super delicious! It's gluten free/celiac friendly :) It has small pieces of mushroom and it's not overly mushroomy so even if you're not a big fan of them (like me) it's overall very yum. My family got the big breakfast, caeser salad, and chicken burger with fries and they were all happy with their meals. I would suggest you add the allergens such as gf to your menu please. The risotto only had (v) next to it.

Every time we give stumpers another chance, they disappoint. Staff are rude, grumpy. Kitchen hours are weird. We ordered the gluten free ribs, celiac, they arrived with beer battered chips… which aren’t gluten free/celiac friendly. This place needs new owners! T

Leanne Broad

Awesome food and atmosphere. Several gluten free options on the menu too. Really enjoyed our visit here.

Amanda Guardiani

The food was amazing! We had the beef ribs and pork belly and both delish. Many gluten free options

Carolyn Agoston

Great view. Delicious food very original flavors catering for all food needs gluten free etc. Service spot on

Dion Fernandes

Great spot, great views, great service and very well prepared and cooked seafood. We got a great seat with a view of The Remarkables which made our night even more special. Highly recommend, because we had them, the scallops, tuna loin, charred octopus with paua and mussels in green curry with rice as my partner is gluten free. Lots of options for GF.

Rachel Grant

Fantastic food and good service - able to alter dishes to serve gluten free options. For a seafood restaurant the beef was incredible and cooked perfectly to order.

Devon Burgess

Recommend this spot for anyone visiting +++. Great food, great service. My partner has rated this as one of her best culinary experiences, such fresh and wonderful seafood cooked well, not over complicated, all while watching a large ship come in. Catered wonderfully to a coeliac member of our friend group as well (she loved it!!!!).

Abbie Tims

They have an actual gluten free fryer! My Coeliac son can have hot chips. :)

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

Rose Simpson

excellent meal today even when they were super busy as Orewa was crazy busy, great burger and gluten free pizza...

david mallett

Fantastic lunchtime experience. Crab lasagna and fish were superb. Plenty of gluten free options. Reasonably priced wine options

Raewyn Kavanagh

Service was exceptional Our Fijian waiter gave our entire group the best service ever! Three serious coeliac family members were treated to the best food served anywhere in the world we have been. We celebrated a 16 year old and 18year old grandson’s birthdays and they were treated like royalty. Thank you

Caroline Pollard

Beautiful fresh fish, good menu, fast friendly service. Catered to both gluten and dairy free

C Walker

Had a great meal here. I am celiac and they took care of me well and my husband who isn’t gluten free also had an amazing meal

rosie henderson

Amazing service for gluten free (coeliac) all but one of the menu items able to be gluten free! Very helpful staff! Food was delicious

Lauren Duckworth

Food was amazing! We had the mussels and scallops and they did not disappoint. Both were gluten free. The view was great and service was quick. Bit on the pricey side, but we found it worth it
