Very good family address for a quick lunch. We choose from the window what we want, there are raw, gluten-free, and healthy alternatives even for children. Warm and kids friendly atmosphere (games available).

We had a great meal at Cafe Melbourne. Food, service, coffee and atmosphere were all 5 star. Many gluten free and plant based options . I definitely recommend this place.

Has been my favourite restaurant for several years. However the menu has changed and there is little I can eat now or would enjoy eating. Kumura rostis have gone. No kumura pizza now. Rarely any gluten free vegetarian soups or other dishes.

We took our young family out for our first restaurant meal together ever. Our table had been booked where requested (out of the way, in a booth so not to worry others) and we were greeted by staff. The wait staff were able to inform me of meals that could be adapted for dietary requirements, and they also gave the kids colouring sheets and crayons to keep them occupied. Despite my youngest getting up and spying on the kitchen staff, they still played along with her and gave her the attention she wanted 😅 The food was incredible, can highly recommend a gluten free pizza there. The base was really tasty which is hard to find. The kids meals were great too, had everything they wanted. Highly recommend going there for a family meal. Great prices too. Thanks for a really cool experience.

Super friendly knowledgeable staff, seperate fryer. Had my first gf crepes since going gluten free. Bare in mind some of the dishes are rather small especially if you take things out such as bacon. Will be back

Lovely place to have a meal or just a snack. Atmosphere is great with very clean surroundings. Pleasant staff and understanding of your needs as I am Coeliac. All in all a lovely place to entertain your friends or just to stop off for a coffee.

We had the loveliest waitress here. Super helpful and knowledgeable about dietary needs (coeliac). Great range of GF adaptable options. The volcanic rock plate was a novelty and the steak was cooked to perfection (if I say so myself 😉). We are travelling, but if I was a local, I'd eat here often.

Ordered through UberEats - GODDAMN! So damn delicious!!! Shout out to Haylee who informed me of the coeliac options here through email. Enjoyed the Sirloin Steak with red wine jus, mash & veges and the Mango Panna Cotta. Everything was so perfectly cooked, seasoned, and fresh! The portions were incredible and worth every cent! I'm stoked to have another delicious dinner option.

Ended up vomiting and violently sick for a week after eating here due to the lack of care for gluten allergies. Extremely unsafe and they don’t even care enough to put the allergens on the menu (please do this because your staff have 0 knowledge of what is or isn’t allergy friendly anyway and it’s such a pain)

Had a fabulous meal last night for an early mother's day, and food was on point, delicious, plated well and served by a waitress who was easy and made our night enjoyable. With a gluten intolerant family member it was so amazing to have choice on the menu not just the one option!!!! Desert was loved too. Thank you

Great food, and great service. Amazingly cheap prices for delicious food, that look amazing and taste even better. Never had a bad meal. They also have a great selection of different foods including vegan friendly and gluten free foods. A personal favourite of mine is the big beef burger with a side of aloli for the chips. The atmosphere is very relaxed. While it is a pub, the pokies are hidden and out of way in a corner, there are pool tables and dart boards. There is a TAB and a nice warm fire place.

Came in last night for a long lunch, It was amazing! 10/10 service they made sure our drinks were always full and our needs were met. It’s such a positive and good vibe. The food was equally delicious, I have coeliac disease and they catered for all my needs without hassle. Overall an amazing experience 100% would recommend to my friends for celebrations or girls night. Can’t wait to come back!
