Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots to Explore in Carlton

A lovely little Italian restaurant: Pizza and Gnocchi Bar. We shared a few plates of Gnocchi and a pizza in biancho (not tomato based). Between 3 of us. Absolutely scrumptuous food within an absolutely delightful atmosphere. Plenty of different sauces to accompany gnocchi. Simple, yet genuine, tasty yet not over the top. Little pillow puffs that were soft and light...only 10% flower and gluten free apparently. Coming from an Italian background, we do make home made gnoccli from scratch. Despite Gemma's rendition being different they were very appetising and lovely to eat. Probably one of my favourite dishes to eat at home and I never order them when dining out as it's rare to find them so good. The porcini pizza was in bianco as I've mentioned. Subtle flavours with the essence of truffle oil which is my favourite. Absolutely very yummy. The base was was light thin yet fluffy around the crust. It can be made with a gluten free option if you prefer. The chef also provided us with arancini as an entre. I absolutely loved them...hope they get back onto the menu in the future. The green chilli oil was also an excellent accompanyment to our meal especially with the garlic focaccia. As far as service goes, it was exceptional during our dinner. Thankyou and I look forward to the next dine in experience.

I had a gluten free chicken kebab from iloveistanbul and it was SO GOOD. I find gluten free imitations of traditionally gluten containing foods pretty hit and miss especially if they involve any kind of bread. But the gluten free kebabs from this place are really excellent and very tasty. I haven’t had a decent kebab in YEARS, so I was very happy!

The food was amazing! Didn't expect so many gluten free options it was fantastic.

Had the most delicious gluten free carbonara sat night. Didnt wait long at all as we had a movie to go to. I got back from Rome a week ago and this pasta was better than what I had in Italy!! Thank you😀

Tim Slack

Great vegan food with plenty of gluten free options. The carbonara was utterly fantastic and I thoroughly enjoyed the massaman curry. Everything my friends ate also looked exceptional. Food came out very speedily and it was a very chilled out atmosphere. Highly reccomend.

One of the best woodfired pizza. My sister loves the gluten free carbonara and their meat halal. Highly recommended.

Sara Alvarez

Had the best experience here! Plenty of gluten free options. The lady who helped me out was fantastic- very knowledgeable and let me try all the flavours! The sample sizes were very generous, and she was very informative about the different flavours and coeliac safe toppings. Really enjoyed this experience - keep thinking about it! Highly recommend!

Nothing short of exceptional! We had a surprise dinner at Taverna for my sister in law’s 60th birthday and it was amazing - everything from the food, the service and attention to detail was exceptional. One of our guests has every allergy under the sun from gluten free, lactose free and low food map and Taverna were more than accommodative. Beautiful traditional Greek food done superbly. Will definitely be back again. Well done for making it a night to remember. Many thanks, Maria

The food was delicious, though there were no vegetarian and gluten free main meals. This was disappointing but I was not hungry as the entrees could cater for my allergies and were delicious. A highlight was the excellent waiting staff. Our visit to Ms Frankie was a spontaneous Sunday night event and it was made even better by such attentive wait staff.

Low key set-up but serving up the best tasting, juicy and well priced burgers I've had in a long time. Of special note is that Mofo Burgers caters really well for coeliacs. Their gluten free burger buns (at extra cost - as is the norm) are super soft and fresh. Heaps better than what Grill'd serves up! I shall return.

Rachel Doody

My go to for tasty gluten free pizza. House made base, not cardboard. Highly recommend

Chanel Pardoe

We dined late on a Saturday night (9PM), so the restaurant was quiet and intimate. I'm not well-versed in Indian cuisine so I appreciated the educational element of having a map on the menu to correspond to foods from different regions. The food was incredible because the chefs focus on delicate, natural flavours like smoked yogurt. Other highlights: many gluten-free options (including corn bread off the menu), sensory-friendly lighting, and traditional chai tea. The only thing that was confusing was the "$50 minimum spend per person" printed at the bottom of every menu.

Amazing hospitality and service. Has a very beautiful environment and staff are lovely. Food is fresh and served efficiently. Great pizzas and pastas for vegan and gluten free options. Looking forward to my next visit.

Kerry Jordan

Large group had the banquet. Our server was absolutely amazing. Vegan food served me was so-so, no gluten free bread for the 2 GF ladies. Pizzas more like focaccias. Walnut pesto pasta too much pepper. Duxk ragout not a fave of the group. Over priced (very small) drinks at $22 each. Then hit with Fri night "surcharge" also charged a cancellation fee for one of our party who had her eye punctured that day and we showed the evidence of the medical emergency. Somehow the $60 we were quoted turned into $70 with the nasty surcharge, add a tiny drink and you were paying nearly $100. Will not be going back.

Trina and family have turned this into a wonderful place to enjoy breakast and lunch. The menu caters for a variety of tastes, with lots of gluten free options. Plenty of drink choices, excellent coffee. The service is fast, the staff are friendly, courteous and skilled. Enjoy also Trina's collection of indoor collection plants. Best cafe in Rathdowne Street.

Paid $41 for a gluten-free pizza. Very expensive for what it was, flavour was average. Not enough sausage and garlic sauce was too salty and served in a plastic container.

Three issues I want to raise with you that being of the kid who was in charge on Sunday afternoon around 4:30 who I spoke to on the phone, my burger and drink coming in two separate bags and the gluten free bun coming repeatedly burnt with delivery lately and his response was “that’s just how we do it” with the tone of a child with an attitude problem. Far out, yuck. Firstly, all of that is false. I’ve had the burger at the same store last week and the bun was not served black and hard on the edges and dark brown for the rest of the bun. It was golden brown and perfectly delicious, I do enjoy Grilled burgers. When I told this to the boy on the phone his response was that they just put it through the toaster twice and that’s just what they do. 🙄 I’ve also had orders where the drink is in the same bag as everything else - does it seriously need to be explained why this is wasteful, delivering it in TWO bags 🤦🏻‍♀️. When I raised this issue he just snapped back that that’s just how they deliver drinks, even if it’s one, in two seperate bag. And that if I had such an issue with it to write it in the notes section, basically putting the onus on me - the friken nerve! False and his blatant inability to hear where I’m coming from, Jesus Christ… yuck. The Interaction with the immature kid and his abhorrent attitude was just the cherry on the cake. Hated this experience and being spoken down to like that. I wasn’t being rude or frustrated, I wanted the restaurant to know just as a heads up. Clearly he doesn’t care. Update: I reached out to Grilled and emailed them a photo clearly showing the over-grilled buns. They responded, saying they would follow up on the issue. However, I placed another order (two weeks later, thinking by now things would be better) nothing has changed. It’s incredibly disappointing. I shouldn’t have to pay for food that’s clearly burnt. It’s like they don’t listen or care, why as a customer am I wasting so much of my time to rectify this?

Saw that there was a table available for 7:30pm, so instead of booking online, my friend and I decided we’d walk across to the restraint. We’re greeted by a very rude restaurant Manager who said we don’t have available until 8:30pm, but we said that the website confirmed there was one at 7:30pm. So he advised us to book online then. He didn’t once pick up his reservations device to check and walked off. I ended up booking online and he asked us to leave and come back as we’re 10 minutes early. Didn’t offer us to have a drink first. Puzzled we walked away and went back for some reason. The Manager made us wait for a while and didn’t acknowledge that we’re waiting. Didn’t even ask for the name on the booking. Eventually after seeing him also bark at another couple to book directly on their website, they seated us down. Although the outdoor setting is lovely, and the croquettes were lovely, that’s where the positives end. The female waitress we had was also rude and made it very challenging to order drinks and food. It was like we’re inconveniencing her every time we flagged her down to order. The pasta I got was so undercooked that I had to send it back. The Manager then came back claiming they use gluten free pasta and that is why it’s chewy. This is a first - since when did Italian restaurants use gluten free pasta? Sadly, this restaurant needs a wake up call and should hire new management and waiters that actually want to look after their diners. Everything is so overpriced for what it is. Save your money and go somewhere that will treat you with respect and provide great food.
