Top 18 Gluten-Free Vegetarian Havens Across Otago

The best gluten free fish and chips I’ve ever had, even better to peace of mind that the whole place is fully gf, and the staff are very knowledgeable. We enjoyed taking these down to eat on the lakefront, will definitely be back again!

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.

Unreal Gluten Free options, warm & inviting Baileys Hot Chocolate a stand out, Kat our waitress most helpful & super friendly

Very popular place. It was just on the outskirts of the main city area, within comfortable walking distance. Being gluten free I was impressed with the offerings available to me. Lovely vibes. Highly recommend.

Had the pleasure of dinning at the Public kitchen and bar with my partner. Our waiter Ed throughly explained the menu to us. My partner is a celiac and Ed brought out a seperate menu for her and talked us through it and even gave us some delicious recommendations. The service was great and the food and drink were excellent. Lovely establishment and a great waiter. Thank you Ed!!!

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!

American tourist here. NZ has been so gluten free friendly it’s been wild. Never imagined ordered GF French toast haha. I wasn’t even hungry but wanted to support this 100% gluten free store.

Great afternoon view over the bay, I had a gluten free fish and chips which were cooked in a separate fryer which is fantastic as a coeliac. Fish batter was light and crunchy and shoestring chips were great. Very relaxing spot. Thank you

Nice enough place food was good gluten free options available. I would say it is aimed more towards the younger customer .We are in the 55/65 bracket the music was loud and there were alot of younger people who were drinking and having a good time .

Moinho cafe, recently established in Queenstown’s Frankton area, is an extension of the renowned Padaria do Moinho bakery founded in Cuiabá. The Queenstown branch continues the tradition of quality artisanal baking, offering a tempting range of breads, cakes, and savory treats in a relaxed, welcoming café setting. The menu blends Brazilian and South American flavors with New Zealand café classics and caters to various dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Portions are generous-one cheese scone was enough for two-and the cabinet food looks appealing. The staff are friendly and accommodating, and the cappuccino we had was well made. The café’s casual, family-friendly atmosphere makes it a great spot for breakfast, brunch, or a relaxed lunch. Our experience was enhanced by the clean premises and reasonable prices. Moinho cafe stands out for its fresh, quality baked goods, friendly service, and unique Brazilian flair, making it a welcome addition to Queenstown’s café scene.

Gluten free dairy free frosted orange cake YUM!

Jen Randle

Excellent experience with making a last minute, large group booking. Recieved quick confirmation from Ombrello's and had a lovely table in the restaurant. Excellent service and very prompt drinks and food - they were also knowledgeable around food for our coeliac friends.

My family loves your bagels - gluten free and vegan friendly options that are tasty as hell. My only hope is that you will consider adding a prepaid shelf for those customers who have placed an order online to easily collect for themselves. Love the text message notification when they’re ready but having to line up again defeats the purpose and seems unnecessary to your operation. Sometimes the line is long y’all!

Roslyn Pearce

Really nice place, lovely obliging staff, great Cafe, and unlike every other non-restaurant Cafe, doesn't shut at 3pm, thank goodness! Did a great gluten free baguette for my other half - it was delicious and reasonable by gf standards! 👍

I had low expectations coming in but this was some of the best sushi I've had in NZ! Great selection of gluten free options as well.
