Top 36 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots to Explore in Fortitude Valley

Suzanna Gourley

Great spot to hangout with friends and grab a drink/bite to eat! Everything’s vegan which made my soul happy and the gluten free options hit the spot. I will return if I’m ever in Brisbane again.

My wife is celiac so this place is fantasy. Quality food and a great price

I’ve come here a few times and always get the banquet which never disappoints! Very good value for money and every dish is delicious, they are also very accommodating to dietary needs for example I am gluten free and my friend has a shellfish allergy. The duck was a standout and the crispy tofu is amazing and almost buttery inside. Local drink selections were a standout too!

Alex Hardy

Such a good spot for people who are on a gluten free diet. Got to eat things I haven’t been able to have for years wish there were stores in nz

We threw caution to the wind and wandered down to Italia Lane. And what a fantastic experience! Our host made sure we were warm and cozy outside while we waited for a table sans reservation. Once comfortably seated, we were all drawn into a rowdy and heartfelt rendition of happy birthday for a fellow patron. The food was al denta to perfection, and no complaints from my fussy and gluten intolerant eater, who declared the wood-fired gluten free margarita with a special side of anchovies to be the best he’s ever tasted. We will definitely be going again!

Not as good as expected. Also not gluten free as it is all cross contaminated certainly not a place to risk of your celiac

Kelly Martin

Great Food, great gluten free options! Would totally come back!

Lexi Preston

Really nice food. Loads of gluten free options which was great. Would be cool if they had a lunch menu as you pay the same amount for lunch as if you had dinner there. Staff were friendly and the restaurant had a nice open vibe to it. Will be back for a dinner sometime.

We had a sensational celebration dinner in the private dining room at Rosmarino. The food was incredibly tasty, and beautifully presented and the set menu had so much variety. They kindly catered with ease for 1 gluten free diner. The service was delightfully friendly, professional and attentive. Rosmarino made our celebration a very special night to remember. Thank you all so much. We would highly recommend dining here.

We had a delicious meal at Short Grain last night. The food was excellent, particularly the whole fish, stir fried veggies and the fried rice. Sensational flavours. We loved our lemongrass martinis, beautifully chilled and not too sweet. The service we experienced was top notch and so helpful. We would definitely recommend Short Grain for lovers of unique and well paired Asian flavours. It was super easy to be a gluten free diner as well as most of the dishes fell into that category. The only suggestion we would make would be to perhaps space the tables a little bit more and maybe a bit more mood lighting (though we were eating early, so perhaps that was the distraction). Don’t let these suggestions deter you though from a visit, the food and service is so worth it.

Vi Le

As a person who doesn't consume dairy, I highly recommend checking this place out because their sorbet is amazing. Their cones are also dairy free (not gluten free). My personal favourite is the pandan and coconut sorbet on a cone. So creamy but 100% vegan! The chocolate sorbet is also delicious. The perfect amount of richness.

A really cute place situated in the valley. Heaps of options for gluten free. Food is generally amazing. 10/10 recommend the baked scallops The arancini was a little too hard and dry 7/10 recommend the burrata (def add the prosciutto) Lamb pappardelle was AMAZING although don't expect huge chunks of lamb, instead small bits are stirred through the pasta. The steak was beautiful! We asked for rare and got a bit more of a blue steak, but that might be due to the thickness of the steak. Pizza was the uncontested loser here. Very disappointing and almost a little bland. 3/10 Drinks were alright. Cocktails were good although the menu seems to have changed from what's available online. Which is a shame. Only thing is, despite making a reservation and arriving early, we were told to wait and then forgotten. We waited 40 minutes for our mains, so don't eat here if you're in a rush. However, staff did apologise for the delays and explained that kitchen had some delays. Staff were generally friendly but they did seem very overworked the day we went. Overall, 7/10

Can confirm the chicken 🐔 laksa with additional tofu from this place was delicious 😋 I love me a laksa, and this place served! Great value for money and gluten-free options available. My go-to place in Brissy for a laksa with the coin 🪙 👌

Emma Allan

Nice calm, scenic restaurant to eat dinner with friends/family. Staff were attentive and kind. Gluten free options here.

Miriam McCrohan

Love coming here. Service great with attention to detail. I have to have gluten free and the staff were on it with great options even special made gluten free pancake (delicious) instead of the bread. My favourite is their signature raw tartare with beetroot. It’s soooo good that I could have it for dessert. Great wine and the staff knew exactly what I wanted. Menu is great. Caters for all tastes. Looking forward to next time…

We found a hidden gem when we found Reverend’s coffee cafe. We were a challenging group with gluten-free, vegan and meat eaters in our mix. This wonderful guy (pictured) took care of us and made some amazing dishes. Very kind, considerate and extremely un-Sydney, friendly service. Thanks for being so accommodating. We’ll be back

Matt Llamas

Incredible food. Staff very catering to gluten free options and knew what they were talking about. Chef is lovely. Quick turn around on order time. Little bit pricey but quality of service and food holds up to match. Will definitely be back.

They have really good service, everyone is so so so nice!! The bar manager gave my partner and I a tour of the downstairs area which was so fascinating. They accommodate for coeliacs extremely well which is hard to come by. Also the drinks are amazing!! ☺️

Chiara Musso

It’s a great traditional Italian restaurant! They don’t have gluten free pasta or pizza however there are some gf options for mains (some are also dairy free)

Loren Mitchell-Moore

The cutest little bakery in Brisbane. Everything made here is so gorgeous I could stare at their cabinet for days. Delicious coffee and gelato too. They even have lots of gluten free goodies so no one misses out. Open late - even better 😍😍😍😍

Venice Emery

A fun and stylish Valley pub! The vibe is local business lunch and end of day drinks meets fun night out. 🥗 I love anchovies in my Cesar salad! And here they have real anchovies on Parmesan covered crispy cos with crunchy bacon morsels. The burger is buttermilk chicken on a gluten free bun - and the gf bun is one of the good ones! 🚗 There’s a little bit of parking for sober bae’s like me.

We had an early dinner here. There were live crabs and lobsters and coral trout in tanks at the front. We ordered gluten free sizzling prawns, San Choi bow, Mongolian beef and pork with plum sauce. And vegetarian spring rolls Everybody enjoyed their food a great deal. The meat was really tender and my elderly dad asked for some pineapple at the end and they brought him a little cup of pineapple. We'd go back there.

We went to the Valley store before a movie at the Palace. We questioned the waitress if the Crispy Burger was gluten free and she said it was. My husband is Coeliac. During movie my husband was feeling sick. We went back and questioned restaurant and they then said the burger bun was gluten free not the ingredients. How ridiculous!! We are very disappointed and would think twice about going to this place again. They didn’t even reply to my previous email!!

Simone D

Many options of salad toppings and roll fillings, even combinations of them. The combination vermicelli salad is excellent value with grilled pork, spring rolls and sugarcane prawn topping. The vermicelli salads and rolls are a great option for people who can't have gluten

Not suitable for coeliacs. I went in after seeing a recent Instagram post saying their fries are in a seperate fryer and seeing reviews about GF options. When I went to order I was told that they put the fried chicken in the fryer too and they only have one toaster for all buns. Disappointing but glad they were honest at least.

Adrian Thake

A great hidden gem in the Valley. Great coffee, so good I had to order a second, friendly service and best of all happy to accommodate a coeliac gluten free, menu items. Highly recommend their Chilli Scamble.

Myself and my partner went here last night. From the start it was an amazing experience, our server was a great guy who went above and beyond for us. My partner is coeliac and he ensured everything that we ordered could be made gluten free (most of the menu can be catered to gf). The food was genuinely the nicest meal we’ve had in a long time, as were the cocktails, they were amazing. The chefs, our server and the bar staff were absolutely second to none, I couldn’t recommend this place highly enough. I’ll definitely be back! Thanks for a great experience and for giving my partner peace of mind!

I shared a lovely dinner here with my sister. The staff were attentive but not overbearing, and the food was delicious. Being a Coeliac, I don't like eating out often, as there usually aren't a lot of choices. The gluten-free pasta was tasty, and I enjoyed the choices I had to pick from. I look forward to returning to this restaurant again.

Avril Clarke

Ordered Japanese Curry (gluten free + veggie) it was AMAZING all the toppings, sauce, spice and ingredients. I order here regularly and occasionally dine in, chefs may vary but food is always delicious.

Matthew Lester

The gluten free food was very good, and the service was nice.
