Top 50 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Enjoy in Melbourne

So many yummy sweet treat options!!! Completely dedicated Gluten free

Paula Peeps

Great egg and bacon sandwich !!

Yao Wong

Pastries with Asian-inspired flavors. Apparently it's also gluten-free, although that wasn't a factor in my choice. Ordered a canele, which had a nice, thick crusty exterior and good rum flavor. The inside was on the fluffy/airy side vs gooey - not sure if that was due to the flour used or just their style. It's a cute, compact store - would pop in again for a quick treat.

I visited Bodega Underground last year and had an alright experience, however it feels like they’ve really stepped things up since then. Every dish was excellent, flavourful and hot, and staff were very friendly. The kitchen was very efficient and food came out quite quickly. I’d recommend the fish tacos and birria tacos as the must-try. The menu is also 100% gluten free! Don’t forget to book ahead as it can get very busy and they mightn’t have any walk ins available.

If you’ve ever despaired because you’re forced to eat gluten free and you think you’re never going to eat a pizza that doesn’t taste like cardboard again, dry your tears because THIS IS THE BEST. It’s authentically Italian, chewy, luscious crust so good you’ll think they messed up your order and gave you the real thing (they didn’t!). The toppings are amazing too, really good quality. Try the signature A25 and the tiramisu. And then cry more tears but this time of genuine happiness that your pizza tastes like pizza

Busy place at lunchtime, with frienly service and gluten free french savoury pancakes.

Sandra Ashman-Key

All gluten free food with lots of vegan options

TLDR: amazing service, quality food with good portions, well trained staff, able to accommodate many dietary requirements and accommodate different budgets. - - - - My most recent visit was my fourth time dining at Chin Chin, this time it was with work colleagues for a Christmas lunch. The food was delicious as per usual, and it is worth noting that despite the fact that the restaurant was absolutely packed and insanely busy, all of our dietary requirements were met without fail (lactose intolerance, gluten intolerance). In terms of cuisine you wont find anything “traditional” at Chin Chin, it is Asian fusion at its finest, but everything is well thought out, well balanced and also fun. The service was excellent with the staff explaining each dish, making sure our drinks were topped up, checking in with us in between courses and even taking the time to have a quick chat with our table. Additionally when I passed by the kitchen it was very clear that they had their communication locked down. Always a pleasure to dine here.

Best bagel I’ve ever had, hands down. Celiac friendly, tasty, great atmosphere. I had a bacon egg breakfast bagel. So tasty!

Laura M Evans

Incredible service and stunning food! We had a theatre booking and they were so attentive to make sure our food was out with plenty of time. The whole menu is coeliac friendly so one of our party who was coeliac loved being able to eat everything. We particularly loved the Brussel sprouts and crispy chicken skins!

Jo Munro

I popped in tonite and ordered the brisket, but I'm gluten and dairy free, the staff were fantastic it turns out for once dairy was a bigger issue than gluten (all options marked and a seperate fryer) but they swapped it over for steak. Which was safe and delicious. Thanks so much

Jorge Menéndez García

I have been with a group of friends there twice, I am celiac and I have not had any problems eating, the girl who served us very kindly explained to us that everything was gluten-free. The food was delicious and in terms of quality and price it was great. I totally recommend this site.

Kresta Davis

Best gluten free burgers in Melbourne. Fresh, delicious and the service by Ruby was outstanding.

Peyton Nash

Went here last night for an early dinner. They had plenty of gluten free options as well. Great service, very friendly and fast. Would come again

Siobhan Blake

The fully gluten free place was fantastic. I had the arancini balls. Thoroughly recommend. My friend had pasta which he also enjoyed.

Jenni

I always try to make my way here to get some gluten free pancakes when I'm in Melbourne. Today I was looked after by Deb, who although was busy working hard, she was friendly and efficient. I'm grateful for getting my food and drink in good time and that the toilets were very clean!!!!

Jo Munro

I was walking past and the staff assured me they could do gluten and dairy-free. Then pointed out the suitable options on the menu. I had the Paella, they confirmed it would be safe for me and it was delicious.

Jacob H

Fantastic all round. We didn't have a booking but the staff made room for us. Amazing food, great service and good pricing. My partner is celioac and they brought her a specialised menu and made everything she wanted completely gluten free. They even used a separate fryer for the chicken. Can recommend the feed me option.

Em

Really lovely Indonesian restaurant. The staff here are so friendly, they were very patient and accommodating to all customers. The staff were knowledgeable about coeliac disease, so I felt safe eating here. Plenty of gluten free options! The food was delicious! Clean and a good atmosphere. Recommend!

Abbie Melchior

I treated my sister who is gluten free to the Summer Sips high tea. We were very impressed with the attentive service that we experienced. The staff had excellent attention to detail, they made sure we had a wonderful afternoon. The cocktails were well balanced with the food selection. The biggest highlight was the GF selection, the savory pastry was delicious!

Jeanette St Clair

Handy place to eat if you’re heading to the Regent or Athaneum theatres. Great atmosphere. Emma looked after us beautifully. Plenty of gluten free options. Only one GF dessert but it was full of flavour.

Mark Kentwell

This cafe is a hidden gem! With an impressive selection of Gluten Free (GF) and Vegan Options (VGO), it caters to a wide range of dietary needs. The charming setting offers both indoor and outdoor seating, perfect for any occasion. The Padre coffee is exceptional, and the breakfast and lunch menu is solid, featuring a delightful array of bagels, including GF options. The American-style menu is a treat, and we were thrilled with the delicious brisket and asparagus. Plus, the staff was accommodating, allowing us to customise our sides to perfection. Highly recommend!

Jennifer Brennan

Highly recommended as this restaurant is in a beautiful area, staff are friendly and efficient, food is delicious and atmosphere is chilled. We had the Sweet Potato poached eggs on gluten-free toast with avacado and red chillie scrambled eggs with coffee's. It was delicious, and coffee was amazing. We were lucky with our timing and got a table straight away. However, within 5 mins, there were huge queues for the restaurant. So it's advisable to book if you can. I would still strongly advise: it's worth the wait as we had a wonderful experience. Thank you so much to the staff and restaurant.

Em

Plenty of gluten free coeliac options. The service was brilliant - they made sure that my food was prepared safely. The quality of the food was excellent! The best smoked salmon I’ve had in Australia! It’s ashame the same can’t be said about the matcha - quite grainy and the quality was disappointing.

Katie Johnson

Service and food was absolutely amazing!! Also loads of gluten free options and the coffee is delicious!

Annette White

Can only comment on delivered catering however the communication from the restaurant re providing gluten free options as requested was really appreciated. Our staff enjoyed a delicious choice of salmon and karaage chicken salads. Generous servings for our group and all plates/cutlery/chopsticks provided too. Will be visiting in person soon to enjoy again.

Excellent spot especially for food allergies. Wife and I had an great 3 course meal that cater for low fodmap and celiac diets. The staff were super friendly and knowledgeable about our requirements and there recommendations of baked brie and the risotto were spot on! The low fodmap wagyu burger was one of the best I have eaten. This meal was the highlight of our stay in the city. Will definitely be back and will bring more people :-)

I am so glad I found this joint! A cool space with a good atmosphere and excellent customer service. If you’ve seen any of my food posts you’ll know I’m that person with a ridiculous food intolerance that is usually not considered. Here it was! They have a separate emu that lists the items open for vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, fructose free, onion free and garlic and onion free! What? So good! My bloke and I shared a few dishes when eating out for the first time in… for ever! Delicious cabbage and pork dumplings, legit fried rice, crispy pork belly and eye fillet steak - we had sauces on the side for him to enjoy and me to avoid and both thoroughly enjoyed a top notch, tasty meal along with a couple of crisp and light rice lagers. I bought some of the yummy smelling teas to go. A first class experience. Thanks!

luke waller

Awesome place. Food was amazing especially for the lower price tags. Really good service and atmosphere even under the pump they delivered. Good options for gluten free too. No soggy toast which has been a problem at other places. Definitely recommend

Andrea Artés de Arcos

Very nice food!! Super friendly staff too :) we will be back. They offer gluten free options.

Coffee and food is great. The service is outstanding. Lots of gluten free options, the gf bread is delicious and the chef's home made jam is to die for.

Paula Phillips

Delicious brunch, and coeliac friendly. They aren't a dedicated gluten free space, but they do have separate toasters and make every effort to offer a safe space to eat. Highly recommended.

Michelle Whittaker

I LOVE THIS PLACE!! Do yourself a favour and get yourself a yummy meal! They have fantastic gluten free pasta safe for celiac and wonderful drinks! Clarisa looked after us well!!

Lee Sheehan

Rose Graham

Beautiful food, great vibes, friendly staff. Reasonably pricing for size & quality of meals. This was mid November, so Christmas decorations around the fed square area. My gluten free pals were very happy with their meals. Lots of seagulls around pecking at people's food scraps when they left.... Whilst amusing for us, glad it wasn't to our own food.

Carl J

This place truly captures a Parisian vibe—if only the Eiffel Tower were closer! The savory gluten-free crepes are absolutely amazing, and the eggs benedict was an excellent choice. The coffee was rich in flavor and perfectly textured. Starting the day with great coffee is always fantastic. Thank you!

I visited this spot because I used to enjoy coffee with friends at Block Place. Unfortunately, there was a long hiatus due to COVID and the closure of many businesses. I'm thrilled that those times are behind us and Block Place is bustling once more! This charming little lane in the city offers a variety of eateries and cafes to explore. Vespa Rossa has maintained the same inviting atmosphere and decor from the previous owner. The space feels open and welcoming, with friendly staff and comforting food. The menu is straightforward and includes a few gluten-free options, making it perfect for a casual lunch or a laid-back gathering with friends. I tried the mashed avocado toast (I know, so cliché), and it was fresh and delightful. The coffee was equally satisfying, rich in aroma. I also indulged in the tiramisu at the end of my meal. To be honest, the tiramisu was a bit too firm and slightly bitter due to the choice of a darker coffee, but it was beautifully presented and still quite tasty. I highly recommend checking this place out! Its close proximity to the shopping area makes it an ideal spot to catch up with friends or enjoy a cozy afternoon.

The food was above and beyond our expectations. We were a big group of adults and kids. The kindness of Joseph made us dine in and try the yummy dishes. If I could give more than five stars for Joseph service I absolutely would. The gluten-free options were yummy.
