Top 50 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots to Delight in Surry Hills

Food so good, you don’t take pictures. We booked Yulli’s as a get together with friends. One friend is a vegan celiac. We ordered the banquet. We can never do that as we are always worried about food allergies. The food was delicious and filling. I am not vegan. Just enjoy a good meal. Service was fantastic. They accommodated our late arrival and let us stay longer. They rushed us out but were within their right but were so graceful about it. I booked via a booking app. I added to the booking it was a birthday. Without prompted they brought out a candle on dessert. This small token and what can be seen as a minor detail was well received and a testament to the beautiful atmosphere they have created. If you made it this far. The TL:DR is this place is a must go and I will return.

Amazing dinner date had here! Wide variety of options, great quality food and flavours. Very knowledgeable with coeliacs, gluten free and cross contamination. Ate there with no worries due to the zero risk of cross contamination in their fryers and kitchen.

Best gluten free pizza! And just amazing food! I came here with some friends, being gf and vegan it's hard to go out with a group of friends who don't have dietary requirements and this place was just perfect! I was able to eat the same foods as my friends without feeling left out. I can't wait to come back .

Incredibly accomodating and knowledgeable about gluten free/coeliacs and what is suitable on their menu. Even come by with a card for you to have near your place setting with “coeliac” written so no servers mistake your order.

I tried the gluten free capricciosa pizza. Well-made dough, just the right amount of crunch. Very tasty and abundant ingredients. Definitely a quality Italian product here in Sydney. Silvio, the owner, very kind and friendly. The wine was also excellent! 🤙🏻 Very welcoming place. Recommended.

Tostadas were delish. Good gluten free options.

I went to dinner with 3 friends and it was a wonderful experience. Atmosphere is really nice with seating both downstairs and upstairs and is very welcoming. Menu is extensive and has vegetarian, dairy free, nut free and gluten free options so really something for anyone with a restriction! Staff were very attentive and service was wonderful.

Catherine Chen

Quite delicious. If you get the set menu, portions seem a bit small at first but by the end, you’re stuffed. Nothing super ground breaking, just modern Middle Eastern fusion done well and presented beautifully. Sat outside and the bar table is a bit unstable, plus the ground is sloped. A bit awkward to deal with but not terrible. Plenty of gluten free options and well communicated. Nothing that stood out as a must have again but still a solid choice for an upmarket meal out.

Emma O'Donnell

Amazing atmosphere, amazing food, true Italian food. I was able to get gluten free pizza and it tasted amazing, a bit smaller but delicious so I’m ok with that.

Gavin Clift

had a great set menu here with a group, was well looked after as a coeliac

Annie MacGregor

Delicious and well priced bottomless brunch, fantastic gluten free options and great service - a special surprise treat for the birthday girl!

Came here for lunch recently and enjoyed it. The pizza was tasty, but the tomato sauce was really watery and had almost zero flavour. The toppings were tasty though. The gluten free base was also very good.

My experience at Shaffa was nothing short of exceptional. The food is absolutely outstanding—rich in flavour, beautifully presented, and clearly crafted with creativity and care. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance: sleek and stylish, yet relaxed and unpretentious. The unique layout adds a rustic, authentic charm that makes you feel like you’ve been transported somewhere far from the usual Sydney dining scene. The menu is a standout—varied, inventive, and full of soul. Each dish reflects thoughtful preparation and bold, memorable flavours. What truly elevates Shaffa, though, is the service. Veronica and her team strike a rare balance of being warm and personable while remaining impressively professional and attentive. Nothing feels like too much trouble. We were looked after by the wonderful Francis, who brought the whole experience together with his deep knowledge of the menu and wine pairings. He took the time to ask insightful questions about our preferences and made thoughtful recommendations that hit the mark. His attentiveness—especially toward my partner’s gluten intolerance—was both considerate and seamless. I can’t recommend Shaffa highly enough for your next meal out. You’ll be in for a memorable, delicious experience from start to finish.

Colour vibrant venue, matched with delicious food with many dietary options (vego, vegan, dairy free and gluten free) - would definitely go back.

Very good experience, Good vibe, amazing and welcoming service team with great recommendations on the food and wine. Delicious gluten free bread, mains and side dish were a little salty Highly recommend

Sarah was amazing , so patient and accommodating to our large group of people with different dietary requirements tonight . I had custom made vegan gluten-free pasta and I loved it !

Anna Floriani

Excellent pizza, perhaps slightly salty, but very digestible. You can feel that the dough is worked well, since I have stomach problems, gluten free is also available. Small, somewhat noisy, but familiar environment. Right price quality.

Leanne Caruana

Food not great and overpriced. Had to pay an additional $5 for gluten free bun that was inedible. Won’t be going back. If you’re going to charge for GF at least buy premium grade. Disappointing 😢

Emma Dunbar

Great service- went above and beyond to cater to coeliac dietary requirement! Food is flawless.

Nikiah O'Grady

Great gluten free options, great service, welcoming but not intrusive. Food was great. Would come again.

David Muscatello

Very pleased with the experience here. The menu is gluten free unless otherwise marked, which is fantastic for a coeliac.

I went for mother's day, and I am in a family with 3 coeliacs and 1 nut allergy. Armorica staff was so accommodating. They have a separate fryer (yes, you can enjoy the fries) and service was perfect! We ordered the market fish tartare, all three fish options, the sirloin and pretty much every side dish on the menu. Everything was very well balanced. Overall a pleasant experience and I would 100% come back to try some of their other things.

After waiting YEARS for a reservation we finally got one and this place didn't disappoint... The service here was impeccable, every person that served us knew their part to a T! We were educated on food and wine and nothing was a hassle - even our gluten and dairy free requests. One on the bucket list ticked off but would love to return again

We dined at Cicerone last night as a group of seven, including one friend with coeliac disease. While the food itself was enjoyable, the overall experience was disappointing- especially in terms of accommodating dietary requirements. When booking over the phone, I specifically mentioned that we had a coeliac in our group. The restaurant informed me that they only offer gluten-free pasta, which was fine, but they failed to mention that she would still be required to pay the full $69 feast menu price, even though all she could eat was a single bowl of pasta. Due to our group size, we were required to do the feast menu. However, when we arrived, we asked if our coeliac friend could order separately from the à la carte menu while the rest of us had the feast, but this was refused. When we raised our concerns with the waiter, the manager came over, but rather than being understanding, they were quite rude and dismissive. While the food was nice, the lack of flexibility and poor customer service left a bad impression. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant for groups, especially if anyone in your party has dietary restrictions.

Visited for the first time on new years day. Staff were super friendly and greeted us with a smile and a ‘happy new year’ greeting which was nice. We sat near the window and ordered via the QR code on the table. We both enjoyed the pita breads (gluten free and wholemeal low carb pita) & dips (tzatziki and eggplant). We will return here for another meal when in the area again. They are located only a short walk from Central station on the Woolworths side.

I was very disappointed with the service. I clearly informed the waitress that I am coeliac, but they repeatedly overlooked my dietary restrictions. They initially brought out a dish with croutons, and when I asked if it was gluten-free, they seemed confused and said mine was still coming—clearly indicating they had forgotten about my allergy. It then took another 10 minutes to receive my meal, and unfortunately, I became sick after eating. Given the lack of care and attention to serious dietary needs, I won’t be returning.
