Amigos - Wanaka

A little scary but I took a chance! The host asked if I had any dietary concerns and I said yes, celiac disease. He then asked “is it massive?”. I said, what do you mean? I have celiac disease and I can’t eat any gluten. Then he repeated himself “is it massive?” He just didn’t understand what CD is so I asked if they had any dishes that were gluten free and he told me to stay away from anything fried. I decided to have the burrito on a gluten free tortilla. Believe me, I really wanted to like the food but I found it to be bland and pretty much tasteless.

No dedicated GF fryer. Waitress said something was ok and then came back and said it wasn't. Most items such as the tacos were marked GF on the menu, but not at all suitable for coeliac as the fillings inside were fried in shared fryers. If only this place invested in a cheap deep fryer or air fryer they could so easily be coeliac friendly! In the end we had the burrito and chicken fajita, as they were made without the fryers.

Told staff require gluten free for coeliac were brilliant in discussing options available. Had burritos loved it. Can’t wait to go back

Amazing place. One of my all time favorite places to eat. Loads of gluten-free options to eat.

Great experience. Asked on arrival if any dietary requirements. FOH manager talked us through the menu and double checked our order for us. Plenty of options but told to exclude shared fryer items. Note most of menu is marked as GF option available but this includes the shared fryer stuff so pays to double check with staff when you order. Food was excellent. No reaction from 2 coeliacs at table.
