Top 39 Gluten-Free Vegetarian Havens to Explore in Wellington

Reuben FillMyGobbs

I was there an hour 40mins ago and bought brownie cheesecake slice and a Mince & Cheese pie which they heated up from cold for me, made today apparently. Together they cost me $17.50!! There are no prices displayed so if you're going here expecting to be satisfied on a typical NZ bakery budget then think again, the gluten free premium is rife here. Do note the lack of stars on this review reflects only on the pie of which I'm disappointed, I am half way through the pie now and I still haven't tasted the filling. For what I'm guessing is a $9 pie it's not up to par compared to much better pies in the Wellington region that are cheaper and packed to the brim with filling. Speaking of which I've gotten to the filling at last and it tastes great but still no sign of cheese. Upon finishing the pie now my conclusion is there's less than 1 teaspoon of cheese in this pie. Sorry guys but my experience of a most basic pie is lacklustre. Unlikely this review will directly affect your high rating but pie wanters should know what to expect.

🫶🏻 We had a wonderful experience at Miss Kangsta! As a gluten-free (coeliac!) restaurant, it’s absolutely fantastic — delicious food, fresh ingredients, and so many creative options. The staff was welcoming and very knowledgeable about dietary needs, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone looking for amazing gluten-free dining in Wellington!

Great variety of food, including gluten-free.

Tarax Goat (TaraxGoat)

Always great cheap plant based gluten free food.

Linda

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

Kendall Lattin

My local cafe and possibly my favourite cafe ever. As a celiac they have an amazing range of gluten free options. The food and coffee are delicious and the staff are amazing and so friendly. It also feels like a really welcoming place to bring my kids; they have a box of toys and coloring in to offer. I go there often and can't recommend this place enough!

Amazing staff. A real treat with separate fryer for us coeliac people. I had the hashbrown, pesto, avacado and balsamic glaze. Yuuuum!! Loved how many amazing toys there for child-friendly eating

Lior Seidel

Great GF pizza

Clive McArthur

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

Casey Bowden

A member of our group was coeliac and appreciated the range of gluten free options. We couldn't tell that there were gluten free options before we went to order and it would have been nice if they were better indicated. Staff friendly. Appreciated the variety of local art on display as we recognized one of the artists.

For a colleagues farewell we had a group of 12 on a Wednesday evening from 6pm. They accommodated us with two booth type tables and it was very comfortable. One diner is coeliac and when the order had a gluten item, staff didn't make a fuss when it was sent back politely. So that's really nice. Service was friendly and efficient, clearing our table quickly and checking for drink or food orders often. It wasn't too busy, nor too loud and the atmosphere was cosy. Paying at the end was simple and efficient, they operate their cashier system well. All told for a large group dining experience I thought it was successful and staff did a great job. Thanks for a great night team.

Elisa Hall

Once again we had a great family birthday dinner. We shared 5 dishes amongst four of us. Two hungry teenagers. Asked for everything gluten free and it was brought out quickly. Prior our cocktails and mock tails were served. The food was great and great service. We will be back again soon

Rose Brown

Really quick service, a good-sized glass of wine. Food is very good value, large servings. Have a lot of gluten-free options

Rebecca Riley

Good coffee, best food. Always impressed by how many gluten-free & vegan options are available. If it's cake you're after, I recommend a visit on Thursday or Sunday. Possibly my imagination but the cakes seem even better than usual!

Daniel Fisher

Menu has changed with less gluten free/dairy free options.

Jack D

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

Morgan

My food was lovely and delicious. The Spanish waiter was very friendly and provided great service. However, our experience was concerning and I am giving a one star. My sister is gluten free. She ordered the gnocchi which says gluten free on the dinner menu. We understand you cannot cater to coeliacs, but it very clearly stated gluten free and not 'on request' or anything. After fully consuming the meal, paying and reading the receipt, it said 'Main gnocchi- NOT GF' in capitals like that. We went back in and the staff member (girl with reddish hair and glasses) mentioned that they had run out of gluten free pasta and were only serving gluten pasta. This is very concerning as we were not told by any staff member. She handled it very badly, no apology at all. She blamed us as we didn't tell them we needed it gluten free. However, we were comfortable and had peace of mind with what the menu so clearly stated. She also said "it's not like she's going to die" instead of at least apologising (please train the girl in customer service skills because that was pretty mean, insensitive and ignorant). We understand you don't want to reprint all the menus until the GF pasta is back, but you need to inform anyone who is ordering that meal, for safety. Please please train your staff better, especially on menu knowledge. They need more attention to detail. I work in hospitality myself and something like this can be easily avoided. If you're changing ingredients, inform all your staff and teach them to tell all customers upon arrival. This is super important. I am surprised even the chefs didn't confirm with the staff. Overall, very concerning as my sister may get sick now. I have attached screenshots of what it says on the menu.

Megan Ross

One of the only places we trust and can go to as coeliacs. There are options and the staff are very understanding and helpful.

Fiona Mackenzie

Every time we come up around the coast, we make a special detour to visit Passo. The pizzas are fabulously authentic, wood-fired, and use a long ferment process for the dough (perfect if you are gluten intolerant as this process removes most of it). The drinks are delicious and the gelato is the perfect way to finish off the meal. The service is so friendly. We sat outside in the little patio area, which was perfect for a sunny day. Definitely recommend and can't wait to visit again.

Jerome

In particular, the gluten-free base was outstanding. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, even offering to cook our pizza in a separate oven. While we didn’t need it, we truly appreciated the thoughtful gesture. The fennel seeds paired with the tomato and garlic base created a memorable flavor combination. It was a wonderful evening out with family. Yum!

Ady Ward

Such an amazing place to eat. As someone who is gluten free and vegetarian finding places to eat with good food can be very challenging, but these guys even had options! Great service, fun decor and great food. Highly recommend

Tracy Lancaster

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

AJ Williams

I've had a descent experience here before but was a bit averages this time. Service: Server didn't know what coeliac means. Everyone that ordered chips was up looking for tomato sauce. Servers blasting spray cleaner everywhere but not really wiping the tables. Food: $2 upcharge for aoili on a small $28 burger. No presentation. Coffee is incredibly strong tasting, great if that is your thing I suppose. Server plopped the coffee a down and left us to figure out which was Americano and which was long black Atmosphere: place is loud. The cold wind from the door leading outside was unpleasant. Tables was cramped for 2 people and was set with 4 chairs.

Kelly Gray

Love the food. Coeliac friendly, highly recommend the loaded fries with chicken. Only marking down because the music can be a tad loud

Adrian MacGregor

Great range of options, including lots of gluten free. Lovely being able to be outside (in the right weather) and service is prompt and thoughtful (kids food delivered first). Good coffee. Open for a good range of times, but probably best to book at peak times.

Melissa Wells

Amazing and unique food. One of only two Burmese restaurants in New Zealand. I can recommend the Kayan Thee Hin (eggplant curry), Gin Thoke (pickled ginger salad), and the Pickled Mung Beans. For dessert I recommend the Thargu with its perfect balance of sweet and sour. Their menu (minus dessert and drinks) is all dairy free, there are gluten free and vegan options on the menu. They have great drinks too! I recommend Mabel's gin. So if you're looking for something different, try this place.

Anna Green

Can't fault our experience tonight. Great atmosphere, the service was speedy, friendly, informative. FoH staff knew immediately what I could have as a coeliac. The food was excellent (my standards for this are reasonably high as an ex chef with a penchant for mexican food), and came out in good time. At $50 a head for more food than we could eat and a margarita each, I have zero complaints. Thanks for a great dinner team.

berry

Beautiful food, they even have a decent variety of food for not only vegan but also gluten free AND vegetarians which I thoroughly appreciate. Enjoyed our time here and love how attentive the stuffs are. Definitely recommend to eat there and will definitely be back!

Dwight Lorenzen

Superb food catering for the vegan and gluten free dietary needy!

Lea-Sophie U.

Had a delicious vegetarian Iskender Combo. The falafel were super juicy and the portion was big. They have large vareity of meat, vegetarian and gluten free dishes. Can highly recommend this place!

Maude Stephens

More gluten and dairy free options would be good. Great service, could shift to bigger premises and open on a Tuesday.

Jul C

Good food. Gluten free options.

taylor dawson

Quite a few gluten free options, and the staff were great! They were very knowledgeable about cross contamination too. I had the cookie, Whittaker slice, and it was amazing 🤩

Roger WADDELL

Wonderfully tasty gluten-free and vegetarian/vegan options.

Pen-e Tito

Lovely service and fantastic food. Love the selection of freshly baked bread. Would like to see a few gluten-free options. We are so happy to find this gem 😍

Jessica Durham
