The main floor of the bar can accommodate tons for celiacs! The rooftop bar has a limited menu and cannot. I was told I could order food downstairs and when it came out I could pay in the main/downstairs bar and bring it on up to the beautiful rooftop! So many yummy things on the menu, felt very safe eating here. Again, order from main floor of bar, not rooftop. Different menus/kitchens, etc

The fries were amazing! Super crunchy and delightfully fluffy inside. I mentioned I was Coeliac and the staff informed me that they have a separate fryer.

This is my favourite and most trusted gf/coeliac friendly place to eat in Wellington. Knowledgeable staff, lots of choice and so so yummy. Smaller dishes to share which I love. It's on the pricier side but well worth it. I've been at least half a dozen times and it's always consistent😋
