The food is so flavourful and I loved how healthy it is! Not healthy meaning only the vegetable and meat but healthy as in they don't cook with inflammatory oils, instead they cook with butter, olive oil and I believe I think coconut oil as well. I got a gingerella and WOW tasted so addicting and it was balanced well with the hint of vanilla! I asked for a veggie stir fry with a salmon on top and the salmon was cooked just too well! Not too raw and not too overcooked it was easy to chew, soft and overall you could tell it was pure fresh right from the sea. You could tell the salmon lived a good life under the sea 🤣. I also got a cinnamon and apple cake and also a blueberry one and they are gluten free meaning they also dont use any of those bleached flours! The cakes WERE SO GOOD and rightfully filling! But right as I'm typing this I'm craving another one!!! My mum loved the apple and cinnamon one and its suprising because my mother usually doesn't like eating from outside! The workers were so kind, I came a bit late and they were closing but they were so generous to still serve me even when they were meant to be closing! You could tell they really care about feeding their customers wholesome gut-friendly food and care about when they are hungry aswell! The scenery was peaceful and quiet along with some tropical music but with no lyrics which I prefer that way! So much tropical plants and the store looked so alive that I felt right at home! Overall if your looking for a cafe that doesn't use any inflammatory oils, that really want to nurious their customers and they do not whatsoever use suger or bleached or chemical ingredients. They are the bestfriend to the gut health! I love eating here and my vacation is over so I will forever miss eating here!!!
A lovely little cozy cafe!! Lovely staff! Really cool latte art! We got a bunny and a Pegasus! The food was also amazing and they were very accommodating to gluten free options! Pretty much the whole menu can be made gluten free with some moderations. 😊 the lady who served us was very sweet and helped us move tables bc there were 6 of us and overall lovely service
Truly a 5 star+ experience for Buffet Breakfast at Citrique yesterday morning. Have been a number of times before and it just gets better and better.
Food so fresh and tasty and beautifully displayed, and such variety. And service professional, warm and prompt.
Love the detail of the décor eg Gluten Free signage incorporated into fixture.
I had the pleasure of working for ITT Sheraton/Starwood/Marriott for the majority of my career, and I have had the privilege and enjoyment of experiencing many of the group’s hotels and brands over the years, and JW Marriott Gold Coast - and breakfast at Citrique - are definitely right up there amongst my faves.
I love this hotel (which was transformed in 2020/2021 from a Marriott to the Luxury brand JW Marriott) and look forward to returning again and again.

Our family of 5 had a wonderful experience dining at the restaurant at BMD Northcliffe surf club. We have a teenager who is Coeliac (Gluten free) the menu is fabulous so many choices for her, she felt very included which can be a rare experience for people with celiac disease. All our meals came out together and in good timing. The staff was very friendly and happy to answer any questions. Our meals were large, fresh, hot & delicious. We will definitely dine here again and again. Oh and the view is amazing! Thanks BMD Northcliffe 🙌🏻
Super tasty burgers. However, you have to order fries separately. There would be a bit of a wait but there is a vibe here and it was really tasty! And there are gluten-free buns 😍
I popped in here for breakfast one morning, because it was only one block from my hotel and the reviews were good. They have some really good value breakfast options. I have coeliac disease and when ordering a gluten-free option they ask you whether you're coeliac and inform the cook, which is excellent. My coffee didn't taste as strong as I'd like (small flat white with two shots), but it wasn't bad.
Great range for gluten free cooked separately
Perfect pit stop before your flight touch over priced but that’s airport food. Taste makes you feel better about the purchase cheers
Stumbled across Café Alfons and wow—what a gem! You know a place is doing something right when it’s buzzing at 9am on a Wednesday. The staff were friendly and super quick, checking in without hovering. The food was fresh, full of flavour, and hands down the best avo and feta combo I’ve ever had. My wife asked about a gluten-free option for one of the dishes—unfortunately it wasn’t possible, but the team handled it kindly and didn’t make us feel awkward at all.
We left very happy and already planning our next visit.
Only downside? We wish there was one closer to home!
Absolutely amazing. Our family has food allergies and the wait staff were very patient and chef amazing and willing to adjust the menu for us. GLUTEN FREE heaven for our kids with hot chips and an accomodating kitchen for other menu items. Wish we found this place earlier in our stay great wine list and sommelier to help you choose what kind of wine you like. We will be back.
I called them for a dinner order takeaway. The chef was so helpful in choosing some options. They have gluten free pasta and sauce and it was an amazing dish. He also helped with a vegetarian option for my friend. The food was amazing. The customer service was amazing. Definitely eat here.
I’ve never been so impressed with a restaurants high quality service and consideration in terms of people with dietary needs or allergies. I am vegan and gluten free and was taken into consideration by the chef himself who altered dishes to suit my needs and brought them to me himself and had the courtesy to explain them. Majority of restaurants are unable to provide this so coming here tonight made my night and was very much a memorable experience. A big thank you to the chef and staff🙏❤️
Lovely atmosphere, close to the train and pretty good food for a good price, they also cater to gluten free restrictions if needed 💗🍃✨ very nice that profits are donated although I’d love to know which charities they support 🫶🏼
Great venue the staff always so friendly we have been here for coffee in the morning and for drinks and dinner at night. Loads of gluten free options for my wife. It’s now one of our go to places to eat and drink when is surfers.
This is such a relaxed cafe with amazing food and large portions and most important large variety of GLUTEN FREE options so great for a coeliac! also excellent value for money! meals are presented well and really leave you feeling satisfied. staff are polite and food is quick. Ate here twice over our 3 days stay as it was a must return visit the second time!
Beautiful restaurant and ambience. Wide range of incredible food and so tasty (and appreciate the gluten free options!). Special thanks to Tara and Kelly for their service, they were angels. Will definitely be back!
Came here late 45mins before breakfast shuts and would say was very impressed with the selection despite coming in late. Omelette was cooked to perfection and those poached eggs for service was 👌👌👌👌on point. Love the yogurt section with all the nuts/seeds and dried fruit. Chia seed was on point as well. Ran out of gluten free bread but it’s alright as there’s heaps of other options available. And surprised as there was congee which I usually find in Singapore brekkie buffet spread. Staff were on top of clearing and topping up the spread. I’d suggest this place if you want a garden brekkie vibe in the gc
Wife and I stumbled on this place and decided to get a sandwich before leaving for the airport. We were told it would take 7mins but it took 18mins to make a gluten free mushroom toastie. Other patrons ordered after us received their meals in a reasonable time frame but we were left waiting. There was only one person making sandwiches and the other 3 staff members were just standing around talking. Disappointed since we were excited to try but unfortunately the service and inefficiency left a negative experience.
Overall quality of the sandwich was decent but $18 for a small toastie seems over priced if you're comparing it to the regular sour dough option and we paid extra for the gluten free bread.
We had high hopes but the service definitely needs to improve.
Ordered through Uber Eats & had the most delicious Phos.
They used excellent quality poached chicken & the gluten free noodles were cooked beautifully with fresh veg.
The ability to order extra chicken as well as veggies was a great addition, phenomenal.
Thank you team. Love your food 🍲
Beef vindaloo was very nice and there was a good selection of gluten free things, got some onion bhajis and they were unfortunately a bit stale but other than that everything was great!
