Top 18 Gluten-Free Accommodating Spots to Enjoy in Newtown

Fantastic service tonight! Our waitress was very friendly and knowledgable. Gluten free gnocchi available and if you fancy dessert, you can have (gluten free) Panna Cotta too!

We went to Don Fred after a long day of work, and we couldn't have wanted a better place to go to than Don Fred. Vegan, gluten free dining with a sumptuous Italian style and flavour. The service was impeccable. The food devine. We could taste the love of food in EVERY bite. If you're in Sydney, and even if you're travelling from interstate or overseas, this wonderful, intimate, plant based dining experience is a MUST for everyone . Once dined, you'll be thinking of the next time you'll be back

Pros: - Ingredients are amazing, both in quality and type. - You can't go wrong with any of the pizzas: you'll love them, regardless of whether you're vegan or not (I am not). - Amongst my top-3 pizza places in Sydney. Cons: - Not a pizza that holds well as a take-away. - The only base alternative is gluten free. - Desserts aren't great and cost a lot. I'd rather order more entrees (like the croquettes, which are awesome), or have dessert elsewhere. - Seating is crowded and music is at a high volume --> Way too loud at peak hours. You won't be able to move, or talk to the person across the table. - Service could be improved (there's none).

What an amazing place. Food was yummy and so fresh and tasty. Atmosphere was fun and playful. Service was amazing and our waitress knew her food and menu and helped us select foods. Was also able to adjust for gluten free which was great. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

My wife is vegan and I like to join her when she wants to eat at vegan only places. Most places are pretty boring and gimmicky, especially around Newtown where it seems people just give 5 stars because they're excited that another vegan restaurant has opened, even if it's really bad (and there's plenty of bad ones...). But Golden Lotus is fantastic! Easily on par, if not better than most Asian restaurants I've been to! I now make it a habit to go there often and try something new each time. Personally, I don't like the whole fake meat thing, plus it generally contains gluten, which I'm allergic to, so I stick with tofu dishes instead. They're not bad, it's just that if you're going to quit meat, then why bother with fake meat? Bothers me... Real vegan food doesn't need to contain fake meat. Real vegan food is just beautifully prepared plants with outstanding flavours, and there is plenty of that going around. The fake meat thing is a gimmick, and generally way over priced. I'll have real vegetables thanks. I'm looking forward to coming back tonight! I wonder what I'll try next...

3 months ago, Everything is great if you don't have coeliac disease, I sent them a text message to book a table and ask if they could cater for a coeliac, they said YES. So that YES was simply "I don't have the knowledge but let's give it a try", be aware that coeliac disease is not an allergy or intolerance, it is an autoimmune disease, so cross-contamination is no good for us either, it should be illegal in all restaurants. Of course I got glutened and was sick for 5 days, apart from that, my small intestine will still be damaged, so no tries and more empathy. I wrote them a message to let them know and they have left me in the dark. I hope this review is of some use.

The place is always busy and sometimes you need to line up for few minutes or even wait for a table, but the food is really good and really good portions. Sadly they don’t have much options for gluten free or dairy free. The price is ok

This was our first visit to Delhi o Delhi and we were only sorry that we hadn’t been there earlier. The dishes we had were all very tasty and the right amount of spice for our palettes. There were very good wines to choose from and the service was of a high standard. Our waiter was very attentive with our dietary needs and was sure to let us know that the dessert we ordered with another waiter contained gluten. (I thanked him and let him know I was choosing not to have dessert and wanted my friends to try this delicacy). It was greatly appreciated that the waiter made that effort to make sure I wouldn’t get sick. We had a really enjoyable dinner and we all loved every dish. The Harissa Macchli Tikka was new for all of us and we loved it! The serving sizes were perfect for the four of us and was very reasonably priced. We were all very happy with our experience tonight. Thank you.

Chose the restaurant as they had lots of GF options on the menu. Advised I was coeliac and waiter confirmed everything would be gluten free. Half way through the set menu I was vomiting. Waiter apologised as he’d forgotten to tell the chef about my dietery requirements. As compensation I was offered a glass of house wine! Said I probably shouldn’t be charged for the set menu meal given I had thrown it back up and it wasn’t what I ordered. Was offered a glass of complimentary house wine when we’d bought a nice bottle (also thrown up) wasn’t appropriate compensation for being poisoned and ruining a Friday night out with friends. Waiter was stressed and said Manager wouldn’t allow it but he personally would pay for my meal. He was a young guy and we said we didn’t want him paying personally and could we see the manager. Manager refused to see us and the waiter was clearly scared of his manager. Our bottle of wine was deducted but sure the waiter had it taken out of his wages and I paid $88 for a meal I threw up. Didn’t push the payment for the meal as I didn’t want the waiter to lose his job. Cruel management, poorly trained waiters, don’t go if you have allergies, left with an empty stomach, sore throat and a terrible dining experience feeling worried about the waiter. Manager needs to train their staff, be accountable and lead and serve with compassion.

Such a VIBE – and the pasta is next level! Had the best experience at Patzizi Café in Newtown! The atmosphere is seriously vibing—laid-back, welcoming, and full of character. As an Italian, I do not say this lightly: the pasta was absolutely fantastic. My mum ordered the seafood pasta and was so happy to find out they cater for coeliacs—such a bonus! The variety of seafood and generous portions were spot on, and the flavours were rich and authentic. Amazing value for money, especially considering the quality. I had the tomato gnocchi and all I can say is: WOW WOW WOW. Perfectly soft, handmade, pillowy gnocchi with a sauce that tasted like it came straight from Nonna’s kitchen. The staff were absolutely lovely, attentive without being overbearing, and clearly passionate about good food and service. Would 100% recommend—can’t wait to come back!

Great rooftop bar and food options including Gluten Free for anyone who is Coeliac. This bar has three levels and is easy to access, being so close to the Newtown train station. The Peri Peri Burger, Falafel Burger and Atlantic Salmon were all wonderful. Perfect sized portions for my family friends and I. Dog friendly spot, too, and not very busy on a Monday so a good option if you want a quiet spot on a non peak day. My only problem is the bathroom situation on the top outdoor rooftop section. The bathroom was disgusting on a quiet Monday and there was pee all over the toilet seats. The bathroom is a shared men's and women's so ladies beware of this really vile choice. Also the taps are awful and difficult to turn on/off if you aren't quite strong. You also get a nice blast of water on you from the water pressure and the strange sink to tap distance. Besides that gross bathroom, we had a great time here.

My understanding of this place is that they do have GF food, however all of it is cross contaminated and not safe for coeliacs. Hope this helps a coeliac out, I wouldn’t pick this place for a safe thai option.
