Top 50 Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Havens Across Victoria

Taylah Anne

I visited Wednesday, 25th July, with my sister-in-law. We ended up ordering a few different things because there were so many delicious options to choose from – definitely not a bad problem to have! I moved to Melbourne four years ago and was diagnosed with coeliac disease almost three years ago. Since then, I’ve struggled to find certified coeliac-friendly cafes that offer cakes, pastries, and bread that don’t taste like cardboard. This place was a game-changer – their pastries and cakes are absolutely amazing, and the coffee was just as impressive! We’ll definitely be back for more!

The food is amazing here!

Gluten free food at its absolute best!

The Mushroom Maria has got to be the best dish I have had since being diagnosed with celiac disease.

Holly Butterfield-Rodier

Great food, friendly team, gluten free options are awesome and cooked in a seperate kitchen

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.

Saturday night date night with hubby. Wanted to try Onda as I am Coeliac. This 100% Certified Coeliac gluten free restaurant is one of the best. The food was delicious amazing. Service attention to detail was fantastic. We had the feed me menu and it was amazing. Now need to come back to try the rest of the dishes. Great experience. Thank you for a great night.

OMG everything gluten free, including the cannolis

Rick's place is an absolute gem! We recently visited and had the most amazing night! The food was exceptional with delicious options that cater for lots of different dietary requirements. We needed gluten, dairy and onion free, and had the first dining experience where this was "too easy" and we felt like the inclusion and not exclusion. Rick and Andy are warm, friendly, attentive and genuinely thoughtful, making us all feel so welcome. They take so much pride in providing a fantastic dining experience for all. Couldn't recommend Rick's Place enough! Looking forward to our next visit!

Nick McGrath

Great coeliac friendly

Jo Munro

One word gluten free dumplings! They also label everything that is gluten free. The food was delicious its been so long since I could have dumplings. If you're gluten-free they have a whole seperate menu and there are so many choices.

Emma

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.

Jess Paws

Consistently great coffee and gluten free food. I had never tried GF lasagna before, it was amazing! Bakery goods also delicious both normal and non gluten

Christine Roder

The food was so delicious. I love going somewhere where I don’t even have to worry about gluten. Great atmosphere. The drag show is an absolute blast.

Lisa D

Love this place!! Food exceptional!! Many vegan options and all gluten free. Food was amazing, thank you!!!

Greg Bell

Whilst it is expensive, the bread is beautiful, along with the pasties. The sausage rolls are good just a little oily. Cakes are like I remember them when I wasn't a coeliac.

Sophia Ast

The person on the phone was so helpful with allergies and customer service. EVERYTHING GLUTEN FREE (besides 4 small items) ?! Are you kidding how amazing for those with this allergy, I asked to make it on a separate pan to avoid cross contamination which they were so easy with. Thanks guys ◡̈

Em

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.

Katerina Sekelj

Perfect place for all gluten free people and their friends. Food is amazing and even coeliac friendly. Suitable for everyday meal or special occasion. We vere very happy to decide to have our special dinner here.

Isabel Zarkov

Cute little place, defiantly book if wanting a table inside as small sitting area Very cosy and well priced for the quality of the food is out of this world!! Will defiantly be heading back

Mick Fallon

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

Sem Key

Lovely fish but I didn't realize it was yummy gluten free. Pity

Bibe C

Gluten Free KFC, OMG I love the boneless chicken and chips. One day I will try something else, But I am hooked on this. Staff are friendly, and have a sense of humour that you'll either love or hate, for me I love it. Super friendly for all.

Ash Fisher

Picked this restaurant for date night tonight and absolutely loved it! Such a cute little spot, fast great service and delicious food. My partner and I shared the tofu, karaage chicken, gyoza’s, matcha and hojicha ice cream and a few drinks. We loved the sake flight, getting to choose either three or five of the different sake flavours! We were so happy to of found this restaurant through the Find Me GF app. It’s always so nice to be able to go to a restaurant knowing they are dedicated gluten free and not have to worry, we’ll definitely be back. It’s decently priced food, couldn’t recommend this restaurant enough!

Kirstin Jensen

Best Gluten free fish and chips we have had. Lots of options and great price

Kate McAree

Great service, food is great too. Accommodates gluten intolerance well.

Lesley

My son and I stopped by Davies St. Food Co. for the first time on Saturday. What a treat for coeliacs. We had warm muffins and doughnuts. Also took home some GF chicken leek pies for dinner that night. The owners are such kind people, too. Highly recommend that you go and try the food. Lovely knowing everything is safe to eat and no worries about cross-contamination!

William Anderson

Great for celiacs!

Eleanor Redding

This place puts a little sunshine in my soul. Lovely staff, delicious food, great portions and I feel super safe eating there as a coeliac

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.

Charmaine Smith

Myself and my husband were there today and this place doesn’t disappoint..we had a Vegemite cheesy scroll ..wow delicious..miss them as my husband is a celiac and I’m wheat intolerant and have not had a Vegemite scroll for years so thank you and also had there little sponge with cream ..yummy Thank you Just Yummy will be back when over that way again

Kellie Thomas

Plenty of gluten free options. Delicious cinnamon bun, and such a generous portion. The staff were super friendly and helpful.

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.

Alice Evans

It’s soft! My reaction when I took my first bite of the delicious gluten free bagel. I ate with confidence as the staff seemed well trained in coeliac procedures. As a bonus coffee was good too! 10/10 recommend.

James Barton

Great service, great food, and great gluten-free options. If you've just knocked off work and still in your boots they're still happy to serve you

Yianna Z

The owner is so lovely and kind! The food is definitely not bad for gluten-free.

Em Richi

GF friends, look no further for your lunch or dinner in St Kilda!! Absolute gluten free taco perfection! *please note - I do not say this lightly* We had the beef, pork and fish tacos, and I honestly can’t tell you which was my favourite! Full of flavour. The fish was probably the best fish taco I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a lot of tacos) haha The owner, chef, bartender and overall awesome guy, Peter is worth just popping in to have a chat with if you’re not hungry! Grab their new house GF beer, and if you’re feeling brave - maybe have a boogie on the dance floor! Thank you so much for a lovely experience, tasty food and great chat. We will definitely be back soon.

This is not the first time we’ve been here - our previous visit for a birthday celebration was amazing and we were very keen to return. This time was to celebrate our wedding anniversary - booking online we asked to be seated in the balcony if available. This was ignored, even though there were plenty of free tables on the balcony and being a Monday night it wasn’t particularly busy. When we asked about it afterwards, we were dismissed with “it was wet today” even though there are blinds protecting the area and the rain had cleared by lunchtime, plus other people were sitting out there. The food was as delicious as we remembered, and their ability to cater for gluten free outstanding. The lady who served us was lovely…when she was waiting on us. However the general service was appalling this time around. We waited close to 15 minutes before we were even given a menu. Throughout the evening we witnessed other tables being looked after very well, being served before us, finished their meal before us even though they came in much later than our booking. Our waitress was topping up other tables’ water then not even checking our glasses. Our meals sat on the middle serving table waiting to be dished up for long enough for them to be lukewarm, and our dessert ice cream melting. At the end of our meal we didn’t get any hot towels (every other table we watched did). Overall we felt very invisible and ignored. The table behind us had 4 businessmen who had had far too much to drink, being very loud with extremely inappropriate language - swearing their heads off. Saying quite inappropriate derogatory comments. At the end of our meal (that took 2 hours and 40 minutes to get through because of the lack of service), Simon (we assume the manager) brought over the eftpos machine and almost insisted we give a tip (in Australia a tip is not customary). When we said not today, he appeared annoyed and when we mentioned the behaviour of the table behind us, he was very dismissive and didn’t seem to care. Overall, not a great experience this time and disappointing given our previous experience.

Lana Shephard

BEST Fish & Chips AND Gluten free. Owners are really nice. Best ever Garlic Sauce😋

Kieran Welch

Incredible pub. Can’t recommend enough. Amazing food, great selection of drinks, amazing service, great vibe. Even do coeliac friendly meals AND beers! A jewel in west/north Melbourne’s crown.

Adrienne M

I bought a day old loaf of gluten free bread today and wow! You can’t even tell! I’ll definitely be back to this authentic bakery! 😍🍞

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.

Sophie Broughton

Love the gluten free pizzas here! Great value and taste :)

Liam Furlong

Very lovely staff and service, I had the delight of a gluten-free, dairy-free, sausage roll. You would not have guessed given how crispy the pastry and juicy and flavoursome the sausage...
