Always delicious! They do a perfect Gluten Free burger. Make sure you ask for the vegan/GF bun and you’ll be in heaven! They always ask if it is a preference or an allergy, which gives me piece of mind. Love Betty’s!
The food was great. Totally new menu, some new dishes, and some new options (entree/main) and gluten-free options are still available. Service was a little slow for such a quiet night. I usually expect more booths filled. We weren't rushed, though, probably because it was quiet. On the whole, a good night.
Our party of seven including one coeliac and one with a garlic and onion intolerance were extremely well looked after. Everyone, including those with the dietary requirements was served a delicious meal. The chef went to the trouble of making a special onion garlic free sauce for the veal scallopini. Most restaurants don’t go to that trouble. They usually just leave off the sauce with the allergens, leaving the patron with a dull meal.
We will definitely return. Thanks for your extra effort Via Fratelli!!
The good reviews and the fact the chicken and chips are gluten free were the main reasons for going slightly out of my way to get our dinner. The chips weren't too crunchy and were way over salted. The marinade on the roast chicken wasn't balanced and not that pleasant to eat. The chicken was dry (even the brown meat) which is pretty hard to do. The green bean salad was quite nice.
Overall we won't be coming back and disappointed with our meals.
Really lovely location and venue, wonderful and kind staff. I could suggest when customers are seated it would be great if staff check for orders sooner as we had to wait 15/20 mins before being served at first.
Food is well priced and delicious. Menu has lots of allergen options such as nut and gluten free as well as vegetarian/vegan options! Excellent to see! Atmosphere of cafe is very calming and lots of natural light! Would recommend!
Nice range of Mexican food on offer here. Table service using a QR code so nice an easy to order extra/split the bill.
Great selection of drinks and juices made on side. I had a watermelon one which was particularly refreshing.
Very good gluten free selection. Even the burritos came with the option of a gluten free wrap. (Not that clear on the menu but comes up as an option when ordering). I would definitely go back as there was so much I wanted to try!
Went to Nois Kitchen tonight for dinner with my sister. Had some good gluten free options and service was amazing! Highly recommend. Only thing was prices were a little high.

I’ve become a bit of a regular here each Friday for brunch/lunch over the past couple of months. Located in the luxury section of Chadstone firstly I need to point out that AU79 is gorgeous. It’s really beautifully designed.
The staff in my experience, have always been very friendly and very attentive. I have noticed that they are always keeping an eye on the tables and clearing plates, as well as setting up for new customers.
Despite being very busy, there is also a high volume of staff so you’ll never left waiting for someone to come take your order. It’s done very promptly.
The food is consistent and really tasty. I’ve tried a few things now, and my personal favourites are the calamari salad and the smashed avocado on toast (sounds simple but so good). I haven’t had any issues with my meals and I have had a few there now. The dishes themselves are presented beautifully and they are very picture worthy.
There’s a great selection of coffees, fresh juices and wines. There is no kids menu, so don’t expect nuggets and chips (there are fries though)
The prices are average, and fairly consistent with the prices throughout the shopping centre($20-$30 per main)
There are plenty of gluten-free options and alternatives also.
All in all a beautiful place to have a meal
I’ll be back next week
I had to kill a half hour while waiting for a patient I dropped off at Cabrini hospital. This cafe is about half a km east. It's an ordinary shop front cafe with plain shop decor. Good coffee, quiet atmosphere and one-person owner/operator who provided very helpful, friendly service. Food options for those with no dietary restrictions are fine - very limited for me (coeliac). I enjoyed my short stay, a drink and a gluten-free cake.
