Had a really great experience. Staff were very friendly and understanding of celiac requirements and made all the necessary efforts to avoid cross contamination. My daughter is highly sensitive and had no reactions after visiting SoLita.
We are visiting from the Gold coast and as soon as we sat down we said we wish there was a place like this at home. The atmosphere, decoration, music was very cool. Amazing service, friendly staff (Shina).. the food was.. INCREDIBLE!! I couldn't fit any more in but wanted to. We ordered bao buns, eggplant, tofu, fried rice.. I am gluten free and vegetarian, and the menu is so accommodating to dietary.

This place was awesome! The service was great! Very friendly and quick even though it was super busy. The boss had put enough people on - good work. Lots of gluten-free desert. Will be back!!!! This is a must go. 🙌
We had the gluten free version of the Hao San’s tasting menu for dinner when we went. Food was very fresh and delicious. The service was wonderful and it is evident that the staff have exceptional teamwork which made for a great experience. Slightly overpriced, however all the food is great quality.
The best Italian resturant in Canberra!! I have been here many times, and each time the food is AMAZING!! Their gluten free options are plentiful, and they take great care in no cross contamination and also offer celiac friendly and vegan options!! The pizza and pasta is phenomenal, and the service is kind and fast and taken with great care!! 10/10, love this place
Just divine! Popped in for dinner on a Saturday night. My first impression - they knew we had a coeliac at the table due to our booking notes. It was so refreshing!!! The food was excellent. As a coeliac they gave me recommendations on what they could guarantee would be completely gluten free. I had the barramundi and it was delicious. The rest of the table enjoyed the set menu with the chicken and fish curries. Everyone was impressed by the quality and taste of the food. The service was top notch - our waiter was very attentive and helped us out with what to order for the group. The drinks were also yum! Cannot recommend high enough! We’ll be back!!
Such beautiful experience to have my birthday with family here. Great food and super helpful in sorting out gluten free options. Awesome friendly service by the staff. Thanks again for making such a great day.
The food was INCREDIBLE! It was super tasty, there were labels on the menu for Vegan, Gluten Free and Vegetarian which was awesome and the service was great. The only issue is that with our designated seating time, our food was delayed and came out 10 minutes before we had to be out. But I would recommend the later seating if you are to go, because the food and drinks are definitely worth it.

My husband and I dined at Inka and it was such a wonderful experience. From the food to the service, cocktails and atmosphere, it was amazing.
We ordered the $140 tasting menu and it was absolutely fantastic. Every dish was perfect and flavourful. The whole menu was also Gluten Free within modification (including the heavenly chocolate fondant dessert) which as a coeliac diner is hard to find. The staff were very attentive and conscious of our dietary needs.
The cocktails were unlike anything I've had before. I ordered a 'Red Panda' and its one of the best cocktails I've ever tasted. So different but it just worked!!
It was an absolute pleasure to dine here and I cannot recommend this restaurant enough!
Thanks Inka team!
Ordered gluten free, explained coeliac, said they’d be careful and couldn’t guarantee no cross contamination, fair enough BUT they gave my daughter a gluten tortilla, that’s not cross contamination or being careful it’s pure carelessness. Daughter now the sickest she’s ever been, they clearly gave my other daughter her meal (ordered same but one with gluten free tortilla). Really unfortunate and restaurant was empty so wasn’t like they were busy. No care taken here.
Lovely dinner - everyone was super happy with their meals - and pricing was affordable so we could get a lot of meals to share - will definitely return!
GF was noted on menu (however staff didn’t know an awful lot about Gluten free!)
Extensive menu , great food, good gluten free options. Well priced food and wine - especially compared to other restaurants nearby. The veal dishes were huge - could not finish, had no room left for dessert so will be back to try!
The food was amazing! We went for the Valentines day set dinner and they catered for my dairy and gluten allergy. The meat was a shared plate with plenty of food for everyone. So tasty!
Boy am I glad that we decided to give Bar Beirut a go. The owner is absolutely lovely and it’s clear that this restaurant is the product of love and a deep-seated passion for food. Everything is pure class - the food, the staff, the vibes. Not to mention they were awesome catering for coeliac. For meals of this quality I would honestly expect to be paying a lot more anywhere else. Dish pick of the night would have to be the lamb shank - the owner informed me that it’s his Mum’s recipe too :) Also excellent were the Kofta and the Charred Chicken. Highly recommend, we will be back!
Busy Friday evening but managed to get a table. Large share meals were delicious and staff were all friendly. Didn't get orientated to the ordering system when seated but worked it out eventually. Options galore and veg/gluten free friendly.
Thai place is an institution! The food is always delicious, it’s well priced and service is top notch and friendly. I love the face I can have gluten free food here and the whole family loves the food too!
My husband and I went to Compa last night to try their truffle dishes. There weren't many of these, and less gluten free ones, but the ones we had were very good. I am a bit of a 'truffle tragic' so I am trying as many truffle dishes in restaurants in Canberra as I can this truffle season. We wanted to try a truffle cheese - but they didn't have one of these. I don't think it would be too difficult to do a triple cream truffle brie. Worth thinking about - to add to their truffle offerings.
Bit what was exceptional was the service. We go to quite a few restaurants and I haven't see service like this since I lived in Paris and used to go to Parisian restaurants. Well done guys. Special mention to Matteo who I think was the head honcho - but who very happily took our orders for whatever and regularly checked on how we were going. I had expected that being a Matt Moran venue in Canberra that all that staff would be a bit full of themselves - but quite the opposite. All were responsive, friendly and competent. It was a great night and I could not recommend the restaurant more highly. Well done guys!!
Fantastic service. Waiters/resses were very knowledgeable and attentive.
Fantastic food. Good selection of omnivore and vegan meals. Also caters well for gluten free.
Thanks a lot!
The food was great, but the chips were cold and we had an issue with the app. We haven’t been to Nando’s in quite some time and haven’t gotten used to the app yet. As a person with celiac, I was looking for food without any wheat/gluten. I clicked on salads and read the ingredients, only read: “grains” and didn’t think it would be that much of a problem, the salad had wheat grains on top. I called an employee over and didn’t receive much help at all. Went to the chef and was told it was my problem for ordering salad with wheat on top and was showed the “allergy advice” button, the ingredient list didn’t show wheat grains at all. She replied with an angry tone and wasn’t kind at all. The chef needs to treat customers properly instead of telling them it’s their own problem.
A restaurant with good food and ideal portions for sharing with vegetarian and gluten-free options (although on the pizza with anchovies the menu says it's vegetarian haha). The stuffed peppers were salty for my taste, but the rest of the food was very good, with excellent quality and flavor. The staff's service was excellent, always offering us the best recommendations, which was a success. I would definitely return for the food.
As for the atmosphere, it was a bit distracting. The music was so loud that I sometimes couldn't hear the people around me, which caused me significant dysregulation and stress, as I couldn't follow the conversation. On the other hand, after a certain time, the lights would suddenly dim, so much so that between the loud music and the dim lighting, I found it "uncomfortable" 🫠. This is a personal preference and, above all, a warning for neurodivergent and highly sensitive people.
Just a word of warning for anyone gluten intolerant: I have ordered from here a number of times and have previously had good experiences. My one star review is based off this one experience which unfortunately is a large mistake: I am gluten intolerant, and usually, when I order a gluten-free pho, it comes with rice vermicelli instead of the chunky rice noodles (which are often mixed with wheat flour - I know this as I have searched far and wide for a gluten free brand of pho noodles so I could make it at home [with no success]). I ordered take away via Uber Eats today (requesting gluten free in my order) and when my order arrived it had chunky rice noodles. I called the store to let them know that I thought I'd received a non-gluten free order. The person on the phone assured me that the noodles were gluten free. After chatting with the person I checked the menu online which said 'Pho can be gluten free with vermacelli or tapioca noodles' so I called back to let them know that I did not think the chunky rice noodles were gluten free. They told me again it was (letting me know that 'their friend who is gluten intolerant can eat them') so I took their word, thinking maybe they'd changed the recipe. Fast forward roughly six hours and I feel incredibly ill and how I usually feel when I accidentally eat gluten. I called the store back just now to ask if the pho is gluten free (I did not mention I'd ordered earlier today) and (a different person) on the phone informed me that the pho is not gluten free but can be made gluten free if it comes with rice vermacelli.
This is the only meal I've eaten today and therefore is the only thing I can put it down to where I have been 'gluten poisoned' from. I understand mistakes happen, but I even called twice to make sure my order was gluten free. I hope that the restaurant would be much more careful in the future.
It was our first time at PappaRich, and we loved it. The staff was friendly, the service was fast, and the food very tasty, and reasonably priced.
There are lots of gluten free options, which I was very pleased with.
I had the GF R05 Pappa Special Nasi Lemak With Curry Chicken & Sambal Prawns, and it was delicious, the chicken was unbelievably tender and so were the prawns Yum!Yum! Yum!
We will definitely go again.
Five star service from fantastic staff. My wife and two grandchildren were warmly welcomed to our table by Ash on arrival. The friendly and wonderful waitperson, Sarah, made our night by ensuring all our needs were met (even our celiac 4year old grandson). We were all delighted by the meals made by chefs Mel and Michael and their hard working kitchen staff. Our grandchildren were so happy that they wanted to thank them personally and were invited to the kitchen to say hello. Great meals and great staff!
If I could give more stars I would.
The second I walked in to Mezzalira it took me back to my Nonnas kitchen. The smells were just incredible and we hadn't even reached our table.
The food was simply perfect. It was proper authentic Italian food that was beautifully simple and incredible in flavour. I had a the Tagliatelle carbonara that was just like the food you get in Italy. My husband has the Pork Neck (gluten free options!) Which was delicious.
Our deserts were stunning. I had the poached pears which were incredible and my husband got a gluten free chocolate torte which was rich and chocolatey and just divine.
The service the whole night was grat. Our waiter was knowledgeable, charming and had a wonderful sense of humor, making the whole night enjoyable!
Thanks to the Mezzalira team for a wonderful dining experience!
First time finding gluten free ramen in Canberra and it did not disappoint! I had the standard GF ramen and the broth was so rich and delicious! Can’t recommend enough to anyone GF. Thanks Ramen O 😊
