Top 29 Gluten-Free Asian Culinary Havens Across Victoria

Emily Ainley

The environment is a bit dated and unwelcoming, but the food and services makes up for it. We have eaten here a few times now.

Nick McGrath

Great coeliac friendly

Daisy-May Creighton

Delicious food with an extensive GF menu! Great prices, very careful with allergen consideration and overall a great place for a bite to eat pre-theatre or just for a nice meal at a casual dine in establishment!

Amazing tasting food with plenty of coeliac safe gluten free options. I could even grab sushi from the sushi train, which was amazing! The soy sauce was even gluten free! Lovely staff too.

Ash Fisher

Picked this restaurant for date night tonight and absolutely loved it! Such a cute little spot, fast great service and delicious food. My partner and I shared the tofu, karaage chicken, gyoza’s, matcha and hojicha ice cream and a few drinks. We loved the sake flight, getting to choose either three or five of the different sake flavours! We were so happy to of found this restaurant through the Find Me GF app. It’s always so nice to be able to go to a restaurant knowing they are dedicated gluten free and not have to worry, we’ll definitely be back. It’s decently priced food, couldn’t recommend this restaurant enough!

99% of the menu is gluten free. The food was so delicious we forgot to take photos! This is all that was left! We specifically enjoyed the KFC fried chicken entree, the Laksa and Pho! We will be coming again soon!

Alicia McCoy

As always, amazing food and great service!! Excellent vegetarian and GF options as well great care taken to cater for my family member with coeliac disease.

Sophie Lombardi

We came here especially for the gluten free bahn mi and they were so delicious we are definitely coming back again ! So fresh and great gluten free bread Staff were amazing and accomodating to us 😁

TLDR: amazing service, quality food with good portions, well trained staff, able to accommodate many dietary requirements and accommodate different budgets. - - - - My most recent visit was my fourth time dining at Chin Chin, this time it was with work colleagues for a Christmas lunch. The food was delicious as per usual, and it is worth noting that despite the fact that the restaurant was absolutely packed and insanely busy, all of our dietary requirements were met without fail (lactose intolerance, gluten intolerance). In terms of cuisine you wont find anything “traditional” at Chin Chin, it is Asian fusion at its finest, but everything is well thought out, well balanced and also fun. The service was excellent with the staff explaining each dish, making sure our drinks were topped up, checking in with us in between courses and even taking the time to have a quick chat with our table. Additionally when I passed by the kitchen it was very clear that they had their communication locked down. Always a pleasure to dine here.

100% gluten free

Was really amazing being able to go the a restaurant that the menu was 100% gluten free. All the food was amazing and was hard to choose what to eat. We had the honey chicken (my fav), lemon chicken, the different boa buns, calamari, tempura veg? Magnolia beef, spring rolls. Lychee drink cider/wine was nice too as the cocktails weren’t available when we were there. Wish we were able to come again but just on holiday here in Melbourne. Forgot to take photos the food was hot and fresh coming out of the kitchen. It looks 80’s deco but the staff super friendly

This is not the first time we’ve been here - our previous visit for a birthday celebration was amazing and we were very keen to return. This time was to celebrate our wedding anniversary - booking online we asked to be seated in the balcony if available. This was ignored, even though there were plenty of free tables on the balcony and being a Monday night it wasn’t particularly busy. When we asked about it afterwards, we were dismissed with “it was wet today” even though there are blinds protecting the area and the rain had cleared by lunchtime, plus other people were sitting out there. The food was as delicious as we remembered, and their ability to cater for gluten free outstanding. The lady who served us was lovely…when she was waiting on us. However the general service was appalling this time around. We waited close to 15 minutes before we were even given a menu. Throughout the evening we witnessed other tables being looked after very well, being served before us, finished their meal before us even though they came in much later than our booking. Our waitress was topping up other tables’ water then not even checking our glasses. Our meals sat on the middle serving table waiting to be dished up for long enough for them to be lukewarm, and our dessert ice cream melting. At the end of our meal we didn’t get any hot towels (every other table we watched did). Overall we felt very invisible and ignored. The table behind us had 4 businessmen who had had far too much to drink, being very loud with extremely inappropriate language - swearing their heads off. Saying quite inappropriate derogatory comments. At the end of our meal (that took 2 hours and 40 minutes to get through because of the lack of service), Simon (we assume the manager) brought over the eftpos machine and almost insisted we give a tip (in Australia a tip is not customary). When we said not today, he appeared annoyed and when we mentioned the behaviour of the table behind us, he was very dismissive and didn’t seem to care. Overall, not a great experience this time and disappointing given our previous experience.

I look forward to my Drs appointments so I have an excuse to pop into Simbashi. Noodles, sashimi, karaage, agadeshi tofu, it’s all top notch. Wholly safe facility and my friends & family don’t believe me it’s all gluten free!

Michelle Theuma

Love this place. My go-to for safe gluten free Chinese food. Regular and gluten free menu.

Tayla Whitcher

The best food and service! We had an amazing waiter, Mac who gave great recommendations and was very friendly. The gluten free options are extensive, with almost the entire menu being coeliac safe. Would definitely recommend!

Fletcher Ormrod

Nice spot, tight and cosy with pretty of good options across the menu (including for those who are GF/Celiac like myself). Can be a bit loud considering the reasonably small space but no big deal

Shannon Coombes

Great gluten free dumplings! Friendly staff

Emma Duff

Seriously amazing place to visit. I've been twice and definitely will return. The owner and staff make you feel so welcome. They recognized me from my last visit which was just astonishing. The food is perfection and the prices are extremely fair. Serving sizes are huge! I'm coeliac and there is so much choice for gluten free options that I don't feel like I'm missing out. Thank you so much Andy and staff! You will see me every time I visit Mildura from now on 🥰

Jacob H

Fantastic all round. We didn't have a booking but the staff made room for us. Amazing food, great service and good pricing. My partner is celioac and they brought her a specialised menu and made everything she wanted completely gluten free. They even used a separate fryer for the chicken. Can recommend the feed me option.

Daniel Papas

New Thai menu is very good. Food was very tasty and gluten free. Pad Thai, fried rice and Baos were delicious

TouliP22

Great food with lots of vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. Cocktail and wine selection excellent. Vibrant atmosphere and great service.

Summer

Great food. Amazing selection of gluten free options and separate coeliac fryers. The waitress was super knowledgeable about cross contamination and was very reassuring. Highly recommend eating here if you're gluten free and coeliac.

Em

Really lovely Indonesian restaurant. The staff here are so friendly, they were very patient and accommodating to all customers. The staff were knowledgeable about coeliac disease, so I felt safe eating here. Plenty of gluten free options! The food was delicious! Clean and a good atmosphere. Recommend!

Ryan Lange

Loved the gluten free Bento Box!

Tracy Reddy

Came here for breakfast. Amazing food. Gluten free options and vegan (if you choose). Beautiful customer service. Definitely a must come and try if your in the area

Monique Crinall

Fresh, yummy and sustainable food. Staff are lovely and very accomodating in regards to allergies/fructose malabsorption/celiacs

Amie Lou

Wonderful, soothing lighting and not too many tables squashed together. Not too loud either, you can hear your conversation. Our server was so attentive and nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious and the drinks cold. They do take away meals too so we got our dessert to take home as we were full but the food was so good we didn’t want to miss out on something tomorrow. I love that nearly everything is gluten free. Highly recommend the gnocchi and the venue.

David Williams

What an amazing find! Food was well prepared with incredible service! Restaurant offers different tasting options, which I highly recommend. They are very accommodating for allergies as well. Chef easily worked around a gluten issue for us.

Jeanette St Clair

Handy place to eat if you’re heading to the Regent or Athaneum theatres. Great atmosphere. Emma looked after us beautifully. Plenty of gluten free options. Only one GF dessert but it was full of flavour.

Bianca Hall

We both ordered spicy vegan noodle soup with bean curd today, which I was allowed to have gluten free!! Seriously the bowl was filled with so many veggies and tofu/noodles and so flavourful. Good value we were full, comforting store with friendly staff

brooke littler

amazing for gluten free!

Nav Dhillon

I came for lunch on a work day, I asked for the gluten free menu but the waitress just pointed out a few menu items that were gluten free on the regular menu. I'm not sure if this is because they were busy, or because they don't have a gluten free menu anymore. I had the beef bulgolgi with gf soy sauce, which is a treat when eating out. good value lunch meal.

Paula Phillips

The waiter was wonderful, marked up the menu with all the Gluten Free options and also noted where the fryer would be an issue for me (cross contamination reasons). So well looked after by the young man. I had the chicken stay skewer. Beef rendang (yummm) and jasmine rice. Really good. I just rate the atmosphere a little low because it was so loud in there over dinner, I could barely hear my friends talking and it was a real struggle.

Madeleine Tyne

A wonderful restaurant with beautiful food, ambience and staff! Lemongrass beef vermicelli was fantastic and flavourful, staff were so attentive and personable, and the place was absolutely packed on a Tuesday night! We were even given a free panacotta dessert, what a great experience 😊 (Also- so many gluten free options, yay!)

Dan Thompson

So stoked to be able to get Gluten Free Dumplings so close to home. Delish! Enjoyed some satay and the cocktail menu too. We’ll be back

Annette White

Can only comment on delivered catering however the communication from the restaurant re providing gluten free options as requested was really appreciated. Our staff enjoyed a delicious choice of salmon and karaage chicken salads. Generous servings for our group and all plates/cutlery/chopsticks provided too. Will be visiting in person soon to enjoy again.

HeyDays

Fantastic service and really good coeliac options and knowledge.

Leanne Clayton

Excellent Indian restaurant! Fantastic flavours and friendly staff. Hari is always on hand to make recommendations. They are able to make gluten free, and other dietary requirements. Highly recommend!!!

I am so glad I found this joint! A cool space with a good atmosphere and excellent customer service. If you’ve seen any of my food posts you’ll know I’m that person with a ridiculous food intolerance that is usually not considered. Here it was! They have a separate emu that lists the items open for vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, fructose free, onion free and garlic and onion free! What? So good! My bloke and I shared a few dishes when eating out for the first time in… for ever! Delicious cabbage and pork dumplings, legit fried rice, crispy pork belly and eye fillet steak - we had sauces on the side for him to enjoy and me to avoid and both thoroughly enjoyed a top notch, tasty meal along with a couple of crisp and light rice lagers. I bought some of the yummy smelling teas to go. A first class experience. Thanks!

Trance Dance

Tried this on Saturday. With the weather we were lucky to have gotten a table quick. Please note that they do not take bookings and sometimes you may have to wait some time to get a table. I was impressed that all there ramens are vegan and they have gluten free options. The menu is diverse for vegetarian and vegans and if you have gluten intolerances. The flavour profiles are beautifully balanced. The service is great and you do not have to wait a long time for your food.

Georgia Nelson

Great food and vibes, however, the items labelled gluten free or gluten free option are not gluten free due to sauces and using a shared fryer. The wait staff were fantastic and pointed this out to us, however you cannot call something gluten free if it is cooked in the same pots/pans/oil as a product containing gluten. Be vigilant if dining out here.

Adrienne Emmett

It's nice enough, though very crowded with the seating. I'm Coeliac and I only had 1 Entree option, 2 Main options and 1 desert option. I picked the Dahl, but to be honest, no better than what I get locally and far more expensive. Not somewhere I would pick.

Eden Walker

Amazing food with heaps of gluten free vegan options. The salt and pepper tofu vermicelli salad is my go to, paired with a salt and pepper tofu rice paper roll. Never disappoints, even when delivered, still incredible

Jess

Good gluten free options, great cocktails

Isabelle Jenkins

We recently celebrated our 30th birthday at The National in Richmond, and it was beyond perfect! From the moment we arrived, Sasha and Mario went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and catered to every detail of our event with such care and professionalism. The food was absolutely delicious—everyone couldn’t stop raving about it! The gluten-free and vegan options were especially impressive, which was such a relief with the dietary needs of our group. The whole experience was seamless, and we couldn’t have asked for a better venue or more attentive staff. Thank you, The National, for making our celebration unforgettable!

Cheryl Bentley

We enjoyed the set menu dining experience and enjoyed every mouthful. We were greeted with a tasty cocktail and then the food came out soon after. I have a gluten and dairy intolerance and was catered for very well. Staff were efficient and friendly. Nice place for a romantic/ quiet meal away from the hustle & bustle of busy Melbourne.

Meghan Creed

I can't recommend enough! I'm intolerant to gluten and dairy. With every dish that came to the table an explanation was given to show that it was gluten and dairy free. They also have a thorough allergy menu!

Aussie Ned Reviews

Food is always delicious, is a go to for my partner who is a vegetarian coeliac. Staff are very friendly.

Julianne Tice

I had a lovely dinner here tonight and was so pleased to see that almost everything on the menu was coeliac friendly, or could be made to be! It’s so nice being able to go out and have so many gluten free options, and you wouldn’t be able to tell that they were gluten free at all. I will definitely return.

Zoe Efanow

Absolutely incredible experience at Frankie Bar & Eatery! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm, stylish, and welcoming. What really stood out, though, was how thoughtfully they catered to dietary requirements and allergies, something so many places overlook. The staff were genuinely attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure our group felt completely safe and accommodated. Whether you're gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, or have specific allergies, they handle it with absolute professionalism and care. And let’s talk about the cocktails… WOW!!! Every drink was a masterpiece. Beautifully presented, perfectly balanced, and incredibly creative. You can tell the bartenders here take pride in what they do. We tried a few different ones and were blown away each time (the mango coconut daiquiri and limoncello raspberry martini were next level!!) Highly recommend Frankie for anyone looking for a place that combines amazing food and drinks with genuine hospitality. We’ll absolutely be back!
