Top 50 Gluten-Free Lunch 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.

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.

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.

Perfect glutenfree dinner!

Tostadas were delish. Good gluten free options.

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!

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.

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.

Henry Ridgers

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

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.

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 😍

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.

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.

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.

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.
