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

Aaron Steed

Coeliac safe menu, staff were very knowledgeable of coeliac disease. Food was amazing too!

Reema Carmichael

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 .

Talea Foley

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.

Jonas Støldal

Perfect glutenfree dinner!

Carver Folkes

If you’re vegan, gluten-free, health-conscious, and/or a bit of a taste snob — this is the spot in Sydney. Just post up here each day of your stay and rotate through the wide-ranging, exceptionally balanced menu of thoughtfully crafted meals and dream-worthy desserts. My personal favorites: the rose and pistachio cupcake, the vegan Thai beef salad, and the “Gimme That” protein shake — but truly, I tried nearly everything on the menu and was impressed across the board. The staff is warm, the vibe is relaxed, and there’s both indoor and outdoor seating with WiFi. Bonus: they’ve got a great little deli section with frozen vegan staples and pantry finds to stock up on.

Jaime Croeser

Tostadas were delish. Good gluten free options.

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

I’m a coeliac, and I absolutely love this spot! Staff are so friendly and knowledgeable of coeliac disease and gluten free, I feel very comfortable eating here. Eating out can often be so isolating when you have a dietary requirement, and you’re often confined to just getting a drink, or something really plain, but not at Four Ate Five! The menu isn’t clearly labelled with allergens, however upon speaking with staff, many of the options are gluten free or can be made gluten free. I ordered the Shakshuka and advised I was coeliac, and staff confirmed they could make it gluten free by swapping out the gluten bread side for gluten free bread, and would take extra measures to reduce cross contamination with the toaster. Obviously there is still an element of risk as a coeliac, as it’s not an entirely gluten free kitchen, but I feel fine each time, and confident in the staff and kitchen. The juices are also delicious and freshly squeezed. I absolutely love this spot, and will continue to take visiting family, friends and loved ones here, to enjoy an amazing meal together.

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.

Annie MacGregor

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

Henry Ridgers

Great spot, super friendly staff and gluten free options. BAE roll is the best breakfast bite I’ve had in the city

Jehan Hapuarachchi

Good drinks. Easy access to the bar. And food was decent. Gluten free options were also pretty good and didn't seem like an after thought.

Karly Volt

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

Matthew Watt

Can't speak highly enough of the staff. They were wonderful. Food was great. Margarita's were great. Staff were very helpful with my friend who is soy, gluten and dairy intolerant. Still so many options on the menu for her. I have been to Henrietta's a few times now, never fails to impress. Thank you

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.

Sophia

Variety of vegetarian and gluten-free options. Great portions for 2 and delicious drinks, especially the house-made pineapple-lime soda!! 💛 I'll definitely be back to try the cocktails 🍸

Matilda Irwin-Brooks

We went as a group of 6 and the food was beautiful, as was the service and atmosphere! Thanks for having us! Gluten free gang: the gluten free bases are delicious 😍

Thibaut CHUZEVILLE

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

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.

Geraldine Marcellino

Long term customers with an ever evolving menu of deliciously fresh, aromatic flavours. Couples, families, friends it’s a guaranteed great meal every time. Menu a little confusing for celiacs. Items not clearly listed GF.

James Hullait

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.

Sarah Friggieri

✅ Separate fryers for gluten-free items. ✅ Practise safe measures in the kitchen. ✅ Ask if you’re coeliac if you order gluten-free, so they can make a note for the kitchen. ✅ Nommy food!

Jay Jones

Gluten free and vegetarian options avaliable. We had a toasted sandwich each and a side of chips. Good portions and delicious. Happy hour between 4-6pm. Aperol Spritz for $10, nice and strong! Lovely outdoor seating and attentative staff.

Reese Harvey

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.

You can’t go wrong with Crust. It’s a premium place with heaps of toppings. Gluten free pizza is excellent! If you are looking for an Italian style pizza, this is not for you. However, I can’t say how the other two pizza places next door compare.

Yury Kim

The owner is so kind and sells vegan and gluten-free products, so it's so good and delicious.

Hạnh Phúc Vegan 242 Elizabeth St Surry Hills. (Note entrance is on Albion St.) Once you step inside and are greeted with genuine warmth, you know you're in for a treat. Despite the sign when you enter, No Chili, No Garlic, No Dairy, No Onion (which might deter some), the dishes here are bursting with delicious flavors that even non-vegans like me can appreciate. Some options are also gluten-free. The star of the show is undoubtedly the Pho, available in various varieties, each one a delight. You won't be disappointed. The spring rolls and salads equally impressive. What sets Hạnh Phúc apart is not just the food, but the genuine hospitality extended by the owner. From the moment you walk in, you're made to feel like family, and this warmth carries through to every aspect of your dining experience. The owner's kindness knows no bounds, and ensure you leave with a smile on your face. Despite the high quality of the food and service, the prices at Hạnh Phúc Vegan are surprisingly affordable, making it accessible to all. In fact, the owner's generosity often extends to throwing in a little something extra with your meal, ensuring that you feel valued as a customer. One aspect worth noting, go to the bathroom. It may seem like an odd inclusion in a review but trust me when I say it's a “Cu Chi” tunnel experience. You will leave with a full stomach, a happy heart, and a newfound appreciation for the joys of plant-based dining.

Nikiah O'Grady

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

Grace Marcon

Amazing! It is clear the owners really care about the quality of the food and service. Very accommodating for gluten free and vegan

Neena Nandha

Very Good gluten free and vegan options. Accommodated a crowd of 16 without notice. Thank you satre..

Emma Dunbar

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

Liv Peven

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 !

David Muscatello

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

Elluca Hair

Delicious food. Fabulous service. Relaxing and not too noisy atmosphere. Gluten free options.

Amy Garden

An enjoyable breakfast with a great innovative menu. Plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options. Coffee was great.

Suraya Patel

Great service and really good Pho! Menu also has gluten free items clearly marked.

charlotte

So so impressed! Absolutely recommend Arthur to everyone, worth every penny. The service is also phenomenal. As someone with Coeliac (GF diet) they were so accommodating and took great care preparing my dishes. The food is so delicious and the ambience is beautiful. This is a new favourite for me.

GetUsThereAlready

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.

Catherine Shovlin

We loved this place. Good vibe and a sense of the food being made with love and quality ingredients. Service was fresh and friendly. Mr S thought his eggs Benedict was top notch and I really enjoyed my dish - with very nice gluten free bread.

Cam Wayland

Just can't go past one of the various banquet menus for variety and value. One of our party was a celiac and they were happy to swap out one of the items for a gluten free alternative

Tim McArtney

Do you like cheap, but good pizza? Welcome back to the competition, Dominos. If you really want to feed 5 plus mouths and the politcians who own your household are unreasonably hiking up the rent, look no further than good ole Dominos Sure, they lost their way for a bit, but don’t we all? You’ve got options, you’ve got an app, you’ve got vegan, gluten free, and you’ve even got that 90s garlic bread wrapped in foil - yep, that one that is probably more cake than savoury dish. Thanks for being who you are Dominos. Don’t go changing, or trying too hard, you’re perfect who you are.

Luke Luke

Very homely and absolutely delicious food. Huge range of Gluten Free options which suited our needs. The service provided by the owner was extremely friendly and helpful when choosing our meals. I would highly recommend Mexican Burrito Cantina to anyone looking for a traditional Mexican restaurant.

Isha Parker

Sweet and cosy cafe with high quality food, beverages and amazing customer service. The staff provided us with a blanket when it was chilly outside, and answered all of our questions about the food, including whether items were gluten free, as one of us is coeliac. They even pulled up an extra chair for our little pup at our outdoor table, which was very kind. When it started pouring down with rain, they invited us inside and set up a table for us to keep dry. We are in love with this place after stumbling across it today, and will definitely be back!

Higor Knoblauch

At the super cozy family restaurant Sang by Mabasa, we opted for the 'feed me' menu, an excellent choice for those seeking a Korean culinary experience. The food was incredibly tasteful and succulent! They offer gluten-free options and a variety of drinks. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Enjoy Su

My friend and I were taking a noon walk, passing by this beautiful restaurant in Surry Hills. The atmosphere of the restaurant was delightful. Mishy greeted us, led us to our table, and handed us a very sweet, fresh slice of watermelon. The dishes were beautifully fresh and very healthy. If you order a salad, I would recommend adding cured ora salmon; it's delicious. Before I left, I took away a pistachio gluten-free dessert. It was just the cream on top of the cake. I would definitely come back again :)

SP H

Website boasts gluten free options. Only cakes available and sourdough bread ! Update your website people. Not for coeliacs.

mahsa mousavi

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.

Wendy Ron

Beautiful meal and ambience. We sat in the more formal side of the establishment at the bar. Appreciated being able to eat food of this standard at 4pm on a Saturday. They cater for gluten free and have a decent selection of mocktails.

Caitlin Clifton

I often get a pizza here on uber eats. Always tasty, fresh and good gluten free options
