Cannot reccommend Au Lac Woden enough! I have taken vegan/gluten free members of my family here many times and they always love it. I also love the vegan food, as I'm normally a meater eater.
The customer service here is also immaculate. The staff are always so friendly and accomodating. One night I ordered takeaway to the wrong Au Lac (Dickson shop) and a staff member offered to cook me the dish from scratch (free of charge) and called the Dickson store to let them know of the mistake. Honestly, one of the best restaurants in Canberra all around!
This cute place serves up instaworthy but also delicious food! Their deserts are spectacular visually and by taste. There are lots of sweet and savoury options for kids and adults alike and servings were generous. There are also gluten free, vegetarian and healthy options. We had the pumpkin soup, the Moroccan salad with lamb and the cheeseburger. All were delish! And the coffee is good to round up the meal.
Street parking is everywhere. Place is easily accessible being on the ground floor and in the corner. There are 2 unisex toilets on the premise.
We were served by Lin at Betty's Burger Woden ACT and she's amazing! Other staff were helpful too. Thanks for a great service. The place is very clean too. As always, we love dining at Betty's Burger. P.S They serve Gluten-free vegan buns! :)

We held a birthday party here, and the service was friendly and helpful! The pizza was great, and we really enjoyed the gluten free pizza. They went out of their way to make the event easy and enjoyable. Definitely worth booking ahead as they are very busy. Thanks Team!
What a joy to find my beloved Ali Baba comfort food celiac safe! I was really impressed at how the staff knew to switch gloves/tongs/boards etc and did it in a heartbeat - all their items are able to be celiac safe at this outlet. It may not be the most atmospheric place to sit and eat, but the food is reliably good, not too greasy, the falafel, hummus and other dips are delicious. They even have gluten-free chips (fries)! I did take out and was very happy with it.

Ate lunch 3 stars for service nothing wrong just you order on and app and then they bring you food nothing wrong but nothing great about it love all the Gluten free options
I honestly cannot believe how awful the service is here. We’ve been many times, the food is always okay/ good depending on what you order, but the menu is extensive so there’s something for everyone. The service is never good (insisting we have entrees first when we specifically request for everything to come once it’s ready, not answering direct questions about meals and then not returning with the answers after they’ve ‘checked, taking menus when we ask to keep one to order more, and just general unfriendliness), but with minimal interactions most visits, we’ve continued to go for the convenience.
The last time was absolutely shocking, and I feel so sorry for the other diners who were there on Wednesday 28/05 at 6:30pm.
When ordering from the GF menu (literally pointing the items out on the menu), at the last second my friend clarified that they should be GF as she’s coeliac, the waitress snapped ‘you need to mention that’. The rest of us ordered what we wanted and all was well, 2 main meals came out (after we asked for them) and a different waitress announced them as GF chicken (relevant for later) and special fried rice. My friend being GF said yep I ordered GF and took the meal, I was not sure what she ordered because I was still looking at my menu and she pointed her selection out on the menu.
About 15 minutes later, the waitress who took our order returned with another GF crunchy noodle something or another, again, my friend said yep I ordered GF, we then checked that there was another meal still to come as my daughter hadn’t eaten much, the waitress replied yes the GF chicken and cashew, we were confused as I had not ordered anything with cashew considering my daughter is allergic. We explained that the GF chicken meal was brought out first, and I hadn’t ordered cashew due to allergies, the waitress apologised and said ‘oh she must have given you the wrong meal’. I asked if we could cancel the cashew meal and get the chicken and veg chow mein, considering the waitress who delivered it had specified it was GF and we were told we needed to mention that, and she snapped. No, the GF chicken and cashew has already been made, I can add another one for you, but you’ll need to pay. There was some back and forth for a few minutes with the waitress refusing to swap the meals, instead, for whatever reason she decided to swap it with the crunchy noodle one that she’d just brought out. She then returned without the crunchy noodle meal and started again about how we needed to take the chicken and cashew meal but they can leave the cashews out, I asked if it had even been made yet as this whole thing took about 10 minutes, surely they had added cashews by now? Apparently not! She was getting very aggressive towards us and just couldn’t understand how it was their fault despite apologising and saying ‘sorry, she must have given you the wrong meal’ to begin with, so we asked to speak with someone else because of her attitude.
Expecting a manger to come and deescalate the situation like any other restaurant would have done, by simply apologising for the waitress announcing the meal wrong to begin with and simply swapping the meals considering we hadn’t received the chicken and cashew yet. Instead, this lady did the exact opposite and wouldn’t even hear us out, just blindly backed her rude staff despite them causing the problem.
Eventually, she did agree to just swap the Chicken and cashew for the Chicken chow mein, but she reached over and snatched the one from in front of my friend who was still eating the meal.
At this point, I just asked for the bill and said we don’t want any more food. We paid for the food we had eaten and left to get the kids food from the bistro downstairs.
This whole ordeal was extremely stressful and incredibly disappointing, I’ve never ever experienced service like this before in my life. We will obviously never return here and will never recommend to anyone again, do yourself a favour and avoid it like the plague, I wish I took the advice given to me but unfortunately I learned the hard way.
Amazing experience especially for a coeliac! Staff were knowledgeable about the gluten free food and made me feel safe eating there. Best gluten free bun i’ve ever had!!!
Should make a store in sydney so I can go all the time
Five stars for the lovely staffs!
We ordered the MEZ snack pack with both Lamb & chicken and peri peri on the top. It was so delicious! Love it!
There also are plenty of choices for vegetarians and gluten free.
Absolutely terrific Asian fusion restaurant in Canberra. Menu has a wide variety of modern Asian fusion options. The pricing is excellent considering the portions and quality. My girlfriend is coeliac and they have plenty of options so it’s easily a regular stop for us. The Tofo, salmon sashimi and cauliflower are our favourites. Definitely worth a visit.
