Great vegan gluten free variety. Sat in the window with friend on a cold winter day. Beautiful restaurant. Service was good but took a while to get food. Highly recommend you get a pot of hot water with chai so it last longer. Food was flavoursome. Yum. I'll be back.

MID Overall, we had a mixed experience – some dishes were delicious, but several service and food issues kept the evening from being truly special. • Tasty mains: The lamb (with potatoes) was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. • Great gluten-free dessert: The gluten-free rhubarb dessert was a wonderful end to the meal – creative and flavorful. Areas for Improvement • Slow service for basics: Water service was slow, and one of our cocktails was forgotten until we reminded the staff. • Service slip-ups: A waiter dropped cutlery near our table, and we were almost served a drink in a chipped glass (caught just in time). • Table clutter: Unused wine glasses stayed on our table all night, which felt cluttered and unnecessary. • No dish explanations: Each dish was delivered with no description or introduction, leaving us guessing what we were eating. • Food quality issues: Some ingredients not fresh – the cauliflower salad had pomegranate seeds that tasted old, and a gluten-free zucchini flower appetizer had an off (fishy) taste. • Burnt dessert: Unfortunately, the churros we ordered came out burnt, which was disappointing, especially for a special occasion.

The service was brilliant but best for me was the perfect gluten free barramundi and chips with a beautiful dressing on the salad. Thanks team for a rare and special dining experience for me and my brother while visiting from Coffs Harbour.

Fantastic option for anyone looking for Gluten Free options. With a coeliac in the family, we struggle to find somewhere decent to eat to accommodate both adult and kids taste. Staff were knowledgeable of GF requirements and they confirmed they have a separate fryer for GF food. Great location on the waterfront, service was lovely and the food was fantastic. My Cluck Norris burger was the best chicken burger I've had in a long time. My husband said the GF chicken schnitzel was great, and my son loved the Risk it for the Brisket burger too. My daughter polished off her kids meal in seconds, and said the fish batter was nice and crispy. Highly recommend and it will be our go to when down by the waterfront.

Look no further for your next bottomless brunch! The lucky team provided and looked after us spectacularly. So much food and Cuve Blanc with cocktail jugs to last your entire 2 hour booking. So accomodating to our celiac guest and provided free hand held fans to keep us cool while we had our brunch. Perfect for big groups for birthdays, hens parties… just anything you need! I would love to come back and do this again ❤️

Catered for gluten-free. I really enjoyed the malaysian coconut chicken and the red smoothie. The only downfall i had was the wait time on the coffee and the burger my boyfriend got wasnt fantastic. I had finished my drink by the time my boyfriend got his coffee. Would have liked them to come out around the same time.

From the moment we stepped into APE, we knew we were in for something special, and it certainly delivered! This isn't just a meal; it's a truly immersive dining experience that tantalizes all your senses. The food here is simply excellent. While the portion sizes might not be overtly large, every single bite is packed with unique and exquisite flavors that leave a lasting impression. We needed a little guidance navigating the menu, especially with our dietary preferences (vegetarian and gluten-free), and the restaurant manager was an absolute gem. Their knowledge and helpfulness made our choices so much easier and more enjoyable. Among the many delightful dishes, the charcoal-baked sweet potato truly stood out – it was outstanding, a perfect blend of smoky richness and natural sweetness. Beyond the incredible food, the staff, especially our waiters, were lovely and attentive, adding to the warm and inviting atmosphere. We highly recommend APE to anyone looking for an unforgettable culinary adventure. It's more than just eating; it's an experience you'll want to relive!

If I could give zero stars I would. Please read other comments/ reviews that were made recently and see that there are continuous problems with the value of the food but most of all the management. The woman who claims she is the manager has the most appalling attitude and poor organisational skills. Sitting my family which is inclusive of a Baby under 12 months next to the live loud music despite having a booking is not good enough. Giving my husband gluten even though I specified he is gluten intolerant is not good enough. When I asked to speak to the host she was shouting in my face She was the manager and had an awful attitude. I never asked if you were the manager. I asked if we could sit somewhere else! You are confrontational and the rest of the staff there were dancing around like it was their first day. We asked several times for various things and had a massive Wait time. If we were lucky enough that something was brought to us. Paid $85 for 13 bites of food. Save your money and go somewhere else. Newcastle has a lot of options that are WORTH it.

Hands down the best Thai in Newcastle! We come back time and time again (mostly for takeaway because the location and open hours are so convenient). Great flavour, lots of fresh veggies and dishes with a good hit of chilli if that’s your thing. Also cater so well to dietary requirements - can easily suggest when having Gluten Free or Vego friends over. We love everything on the menu, but if we had to choose, our favourites include the curries, Pad Nam Prik Pao, Pad Sieu and Chilli jam fried rice with Moo krob. Delish!

Took my wife (celiac) and adult sons here last night. We were blown away by the staff who were both knowledgeable and friendly. The food was 5 star and very celiac friendly. It was the best we’ve experienced in years. We had the lamb shoulder, eye fillet, scallops and gnocchi. Perfectly cooked, just wow is all I can say. But the highlight was the whiskey. Everything on the shelves is available to drink. Finally ticked off some bucket list whiskeys that I’ve wanted to try for decades. If you’re looking for that something special then don’t pass this one up. 500 stars from us.

I attended my work Christmas party here last week and I was absolutely delighted with the amazing service. Our waiter took great care with my dietary needs making sure I could enjoy myself being vegetarian gluten free. Stuffed zucchini flowers were wonderful and they modified a curry for me for my main. Such a treat to have gluten free fries. I had a wonderful time Thank you.

Absolutely delicious, well executed food. Comfortable, classy, yet relaxed atmosphere (very comfortable chairs!) A reasonable range of gluten free options for the mains, although there are no starters labelled as gluten free so we ended up ordering a side of seasonal veggies as an alternative.

Their online menu looks very gluten free friendly so we drove half an hour for lunch to see completely different menus in the cafe, and when we asked if there was gluten free options the response was ‘kind of’ (not filling us with much hope of it being safe) after which they said there wasn’t even any gluten free bread. Cute place but very disappointing, please update your website :(
