Delicious food with an extensive GF menu! Great prices, very careful with allergen consideration and overall a great place for a bite to eat pre-theatre or just for a nice meal at a casual dine in establishment!

Argentina Cabrera

The best Mexican I have ever had!

Amazing tasting food with plenty of coeliac safe gluten free options. I could even grab sushi from the sushi train, which was amazing! The soy sauce was even gluten free! Lovely staff too.

Alex Carver

Omg yes. Made my coeliac daughter’s day!

All gluten free food with lots of vegan options

Taylor Leigh-Jones

100% gluten free menu, didn’t get sick after as a sensitive coeliac. Came here on a double date and got the $69 per person feed me. There was SO much food, we have an appetite and came hungry and we could not finish it all, which was a shame as it was incredible. We have been coming here for years but truly every time we come back it somehow gets better. The staff are awesome & accomodating and really helpful, they made me a super zingy spicy margarita which was great too.

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.

Amazing food and plenty of vegan and gluten free options. The service was also a highlight 🤩

Total ripoff trying to charge $6 for a different type of flour. This is unjustifiable. You don't prey on people with a 25% fee because they're born allergic to gluten. It tastes worse, never has a good texture and you want people to pay more for the suffering? No thanks.

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.

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

Prim Holland

Coeliac proof! 100% safe

Michael Saul

Fast healthy gluten free food on the go., added the brownie and a Kombucha drink for A$26 each. Good value and great food

Kresta Davis

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

Clay Antonio

Finding somewhere to eat as a coeliac, is always a very difficult task. WOW, not only did we feel truly welcomed by the fabulous manager, he also pulled up a seat and sat with us to ensure we would have a great dining experience. The coeliac meal was prepared with the utmost care and the food was wonderful. We will definitely be back!

Erin C

Amazing food and catered for my coeliac daughter with loads of GF options. Very accomodating and she had a sign at her place so all the staff knew she was GF.

Fletcher Ormrod

Nice spot, tight and cosy with pretty of good options across the menu (including for those who are GF/Celiac like myself). Can be a bit loud considering the reasonably small space but no big deal

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.

Stacey Joyce

Excellent, friendly service and great gluten free options. Good always fresh here.

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.

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!

Hannah Frank

Incredible service, beautiful GF bread, gnocchi.

Jo Munro

The food was amazing, I had seen a few posts online and they did not disappoint. Im gluten and dairy free and they were able to accommodate me with no problems and even recommended which bagel to try. Yum.

Emma

The best gelato in Melbourne! Such a range of great flavours, and they always have exciting specials. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable of coeliac disease. I believe almost every flavour was gluten free, and they also used a fresh spoon from a fresh batch of gelato to reduce cross contamination, after I advised I was coeliac. Cannot recommend this spot enough!

amazing for gluten free!

We were very disappointed with our recent experience at Osteria Renata. (Friday 6th June, 6:30pm) Our group of four included two guests with dietary requirements—one with an egg allergy and another with gluten, garlic, and onion intolerances. While our waitress initially seemed helpful, she spoke very quickly, making it difficult for us to follow. When we asked follow-up questions, she became visibly frustrated and seemed unsure of the answers. When we requested she double-check with the kitchen, her response was, “I can’t keep going back because the chef is stressed and the restaurant is fully booked.” This was disheartening to hear, as we were simply trying to ensure the meals were safe and appropriate for us. Regardless of how busy the restaurant is, every table should receive adequate care and attention—especially when dietary restrictions are involved. After further discussion among ourselves, we were able to clarify the egg allergy. However, the gluten, garlic, and onion dietary needs remained unresolved. When we asked the waitress for a recommendation between the market fish and the mushroom pasta, she rudely replied, “If you want fish, you have fish. If you want pasta, you have pasta.” There was no attempt to guide us or explain the preparation of either dish. At that point, the bar manager stepped in and abruptly asked to take our drink order—seemingly to move the waitress along to other tables so he can manage the situation better. He was more pleasant and did make an effort to confirm whether the wines were free from egg or cross-contamination, which we appreciated. However, the overall service left a lot to be desired. The food itself was also underwhelming—especially considering the high price point: • Vodka Pasta: Watery, overly tomato-heavy, and lacked any chilli/spice. • Bolognese: Pasta was undercooked and not quite al dente, though the sauce was decent. • Mushroom Pasta: Very mild mushroom flavour and poorly seasoned. • Frites: These were the highlight—crispy and well-executed. • Wine Selection: Solid range and enjoyable. Unfortunately, none of the main dishes impressed us, and the overall value just wasn’t there. We were really hoping for a more enjoyable experience, but we’ll be looking elsewhere in future.

A great Peruvian restaurant with a large menu, delicious food and very skilled and attractive staff. The atmosphere was also quirky and fun. They can make celiac safe food

This is my best option in the city for gluten free and coelliac safe take away. Quick to grab, pretty cheap, yummy, and 100% gluten free (not only their meals as their website say). Everything is gluten free, even the brownie which is amazing. I can only recommend this to my fellow coeliac people, or just people looking for low gluten food.
