Top 10 Gluten-Free Spots to Explore in Goolwa

Ash Delorenzo

Twice I’ve been here now. First time was overcharged an entire meal but when I called up they refused to acknowledge. Second time I ordered 2 gluten free meals (as listed on the menu), I took a bite and realised there was no way it was gluten free and then was met with an argument by staff. I received a refund for a kids portion then received a tiny portion of gluten free pancakes, then was advised after half an hour of me waiting for a meal that they didn’t have any more so I needed to order something else! Never again will I go here

Fantastic friendly service. Food was cooked so nice. Gluten free friendly. Very nice. Thankyou.

Very disappointed. 3 burgers with chips and a drink cost about $50. I don't mind spending $50 on a meal but just underwhelming unfortunately. Our burgers looked undercooked and the chips were very salty. One positive is they offer gluten free buns. After reading the passive aggressive replies to other reviews from the owner I regret spending a single dollar here. Just shows the level of care for his customers.

Perfect gluten-free pizza and great customer service.

Bursting with pleasant surprises for even the most hardcore of “Pho-natics”! ☺️ The Garden of Nang was the first place we ever tried Lao food, and it certainly did not disappoint! Everything is fresh, fragrant and prepared right in front of you in the open front of house kitchen. The owners aim to please by using organic, homegrown, seasonal and locally-sourced produce wherever possible, and if you get the chance to speak to the Top Chef you soon understand this isn’t just an eatery, it’s her passion. We have been for dinner before and loved the soups and noodle dishes, yet sampled the Summer Lunch Menu for the first time today and it was amazing - it was hard to choose between the different noodle salads as each one looked tempting as they were brought out. We had the dumplings, spring rolls, chicken fried rice and chicken noodle salad and all were tasty as can be. They cater well for vegetarian/vegan options also, and can also accommodate gluten-free. It’s definitely a unique addition to Goolwa which has been lacking in vibrant cuisine in previous years so we’re glad to see them thriving as a business. Cannot fault the service or surrounds at all. They can get very busy - definitely call for takeaway and book for dinner - but it’s totally understandable why! They’re great. Certainly a place not to be missed when visiting the area! ☺️🍜🥗🥟🥢💛

Cowrie Retreat

I attended one of Anita’s bread making courses yesterday. The whole experience was above and beyond my expectations. After introductions to my fellow novice “bakers” we were given a choice of delicious Kimbolton wines. The class was hands on friendly and so informative. We were shown how to make 5 minute sour dough, puff pastry resulting in mouth watering croissants, pretzels, fruit loaf and even the traditional plaited Swiss zopf. I loved every minute of the class - but wait, there’s more. After all our efforts were merrily baking away in the ovens we were given a really informative presentation on wheat and the different flours available. Now one of our fellow class mates had a celiac family member so we were lucky enough to be shown how to make bread to cater for them. Anita had all the answers. Then to top it off we were served a delicious light luncheon of the various things we had made. Plus when we departed we were able to take home our very professional loaves and a “starter” to get us on our way into the world of bread making. Thank you so much Anita. I am so excited now to be offering Anita’s classes in-house to our guests at Cowrie Retreat.

Tommy was extremely helpful, particularly to my friend who is celiac & allergic to strong fragrances. We were placed in a secure area and very well looked after.

Amazing service, delicious food. I feel so welcomed every time. I love that I can go for a fancy anniversary dinner, a breakfast or just a coffee or wine. As a gluten free pescatarian, it’s great to have a range of food options and the owners and staff are always happy to adapt and accommodate. Such awesome seafood dishes to choose from too. Can’t complain about the views or the great tunes playing either. A true Goolwa Gem! 🫶
