Top 4 Gluten-Free Spots Across East End, Melbourne

Amera

From someone who tried so many gluten free places. THIS ON IS THE BEST

Ashley Harris

AMAZING GF PITA! Celiac certified in Australia!

Daisy-May Creighton

Delicious food with an extensive GF menu! Great prices, very careful with allergen consideration and overall a great place for a bite to eat pre-theatre or just for a nice meal at a casual dine in establishment!

Argentina Cabrera

The best Mexican I have ever had!

Taylor Leigh-Jones

100% gluten free menu, didn’t get sick after as a sensitive coeliac. Came here on a double date and got the $69 per person feed me. There was SO much food, we have an appetite and came hungry and we could not finish it all, which was a shame as it was incredible. We have been coming here for years but truly every time we come back it somehow gets better. The staff are awesome & accomodating and really helpful, they made me a super zingy spicy margarita which was great too.

TLDR: amazing service, quality food with good portions, well trained staff, able to accommodate many dietary requirements and accommodate different budgets. - - - - My most recent visit was my fourth time dining at Chin Chin, this time it was with work colleagues for a Christmas lunch. The food was delicious as per usual, and it is worth noting that despite the fact that the restaurant was absolutely packed and insanely busy, all of our dietary requirements were met without fail (lactose intolerance, gluten intolerance). In terms of cuisine you wont find anything “traditional” at Chin Chin, it is Asian fusion at its finest, but everything is well thought out, well balanced and also fun. The service was excellent with the staff explaining each dish, making sure our drinks were topped up, checking in with us in between courses and even taking the time to have a quick chat with our table. Additionally when I passed by the kitchen it was very clear that they had their communication locked down. Always a pleasure to dine here.

Siobhan Blake

Great gluten free and vegetarian and vegan options.

Peyton Nash

Went here last night for an early dinner. They had plenty of gluten free options as well. Great service, very friendly and fast. Would come again

Prim Holland

Coeliac proof! 100% safe

Jacob H

Fantastic all round. We didn't have a booking but the staff made room for us. Amazing food, great service and good pricing. My partner is celioac and they brought her a specialised menu and made everything she wanted completely gluten free. They even used a separate fryer for the chicken. Can recommend the feed me option.

Fletcher Ormrod

Nice spot, tight and cosy with pretty of good options across the menu (including for those who are GF/Celiac like myself). Can be a bit loud considering the reasonably small space but no big deal

Stacey Joyce

Excellent, friendly service and great gluten free options. Good always fresh here.

Jodie Foreman

Lovely food. The jeera aloo (triple cooked potatoes in a delicious mystery sauce) were sensational. Gluten free & vegan. The staff are great. Friendly and funny. The music was 80s sing along bangers, but played quietly so we could have an easy conversation. Perfect.

Amazing experience at MoVida, the first restaurant I’ve been to with dedicated celiac friendly options for almost every menu option! Food and service were exceptional, would recommend

Jacqueline Keene

Loved my time at Spaghetti Tree. First time coming here with a friend and everything was perfect!!! They have good Gluten Free Options too. Be sure to try it!!

Kate Paul

House made soda was amazing. I had pineapple and lime. The corn on the cob was very nice. Good spices. I had gluten free and vegan burrito. I've never been able to order that at a restaurant. It was fresh and tasty. It had mushrooms and spinach in it. Very interesting flavours. Only bad thing about the place is that you have to go up stairs to get to the restaurant, but that's not their fault. Very busy place. Loved it.

Adrienne Emmett

It's nice enough, though very crowded with the seating. I'm Coeliac and I only had 1 Entree option, 2 Main options and 1 desert option. I picked the Dahl, but to be honest, no better than what I get locally and far more expensive. Not somewhere I would pick.

My colleagues and I are obsessed with this place. The $25 lunch menu is sure to have everyone fed and happy. I'm coeliac and the options available are so delicious and I've never reacted to cross contamination. The staff are so friendly and always good to have a laugh with! I'm looking forward to heading here for a night out in the future!

Monique Szeligiewicz

Gorgeous venue! Staff were attentive at the appropriate times, loved the rice cakes (actually preferred the gluten free ones over the regular). Lobster rolls were delicious and the snapper was a stand out!

ORDERED: Tasting Selection ($45.00pp) 🐟 Kingfish sashimi: ponzu yuzu, chilli oil, shallot 🦪 Baked scallops: on shell, Vietnamese potato cheese sauce 🥣 Green Chicken Curry: Bamboo, capsicum, zucchini, snake beans, fried kale 🐖 Crispy Pork Belly: Chinese celery, puffed rice, coriander, caramel soy sauce 🍚 Coconut rice We spent $51.77 each for 2 people, which included juice! REVIEW: 📖 I love Kiss & Tell's approach to affordable food. For $45pp, we got to pick 2 entrees, 2 mains and a side dish which turned out just to be the right amount of food for us! When you can also pick what to get from the menu to make up the Tasting Selection, it's hard to go wrong (unless you pick things you don't like). 😅 ❤️ My favourites from our selection: 1. Baked scallops. The Vietnamese cheese sauce was heavenly and added this savoury kick that I appreciated. It's a classic treat that always goes down well. 🧀 2. Green curry chicken. The fried kale was an excellent addition to the dish that added an amazing savouriness and texture. Fried kale is my kryptonite and it elevated this dish to drool-worthy heights. ☘️ 3. Coconut rice. It's a simple thing but incredible when restaurants go the extra mile to drown the coconut rice in coconut milk and give it the royal treatment it deserves. 🤍 Big love to the kitchen for the amazing food we had that night! My friend is gluten free. The food we had didn't detract from my experience at all. I can see why Kiss & Tell were so popular on a Friday night - it was packed to the rafters by the time I left! Bookings HIGHLY encouraged. ⭐ Service lost points on being unable to manage my water levels. I never got a refill on my water cup (sad) and would've appreciated a carafe if my water wasn't going to be topped up throughout the night. 🌧️ Other than that, we found that our food came out in a pretty timely manner! No complaints here. 👍

We booked the private Board Room space to host a surprise 30th birthday party. The night was a huge success and everything ran as planned, many thanks to the efforts of both the Gingerboy front-of-house team and the team of chefs behind the scenes! The set banquet menu was exquisite, exceeded all expectations and was highly praised by everyone who attended with the kingfish and duck dishes being the crowd's favourites. The team had no issues catering to all our dietary requirements, including gluten-free, vegan, and pregnant women! The venue was perfect, with access to our own amenities, Bluetooth speakers and a wall-mounted TV to make a video call to our overseas friends. Thank you again to the team at Gingerboy! Will definitely book again for future events and recommend the Board Room space upstairs to anyone looking for a place to host a special event.

Melissa Dadon

Love this trendy open kitchen Japanese restaurant. Counter seating is fantastic to view the food being made and prepared in the busy open kitchen. Food is delicious and lots to choose from including vegan gluten free options. Constructive feedback, drinks slow to arrive and dietary codes are needed on the menus. I booked counter seating but was sat at a dining table. I mentioned this to the host and was then seated at counter seating as booked.

Carol Schefe

The staff were so helpful and lovely. The food absolutely beautiful, we totally enjoyed it all. The catering for gluten free options was wonderful the little bread roll so moist and delicious.

Nikita McBryde

Food was incredible, staff were really friendly and helpful. Heaps of gluten and dairy free options. Chocolate moose with Jerusalem artichoke ice cream was out of this world. Highly recommend

Animesh Kanitkar

I've been to Bomba twice and amazing food on both occasions. Most recently I had meal for a friend's birthday and it was for 14 people. Everyone had a great time. They catered to all the various dietary requirements (coeliac, vegan, pescetarian and the list goes on). Everyone ended up leaving full and we were very well looked after by the staff. Amazing resteraunt and great for the big group celebrations. Thank you Bomba. We'll be coming back to try the rooftop bar.

Deb Wise

Food was fantastic, great gluten free assortment

Nav Dhillon

I came for lunch on a work day, I asked for the gluten free menu but the waitress just pointed out a few menu items that were gluten free on the regular menu. I'm not sure if this is because they were busy, or because they don't have a gluten free menu anymore. I had the beef bulgolgi with gf soy sauce, which is a treat when eating out. good value lunch meal.

KC

Absolutely love Pinchy’s! The food is fresh and delicious, the cocktails are top-notch. The staff were very friendly and went above and beyond to ensure my strict gluten-free requirements were met (shout out to Brady!). The classy, cool vibe of the place adds to the fantastic experience. Highly recommend, easily one of the best places in Melbourne! What a gem!

Peter Spencer

We love supporting the restaurants that have some character. This was the perfect example of a friendly, stress free restaurant that we would come back to repeatedly. Food was great, and as the cherry on top they dealt with our allergy needs brilliantly (coeliac).

Domenic Carosa

Great bbq meats place. Their ribs and brisket are tender and very yummy. Many gluten free options also. Old style decor.

James King

Fantastic experience. Food was great, came out exactly when we wanted it to and was delicious. The 600g Ribeye was cooked to perfection, lots of flavour and plated well. The staff were extremely attentive always making sure our water was filled without ever having been asked or looking for them. Really comfortable seating and not packed together. Cocktails were great, staff were knowledgeable about variations of classics and proactive in giving me a choice. The only thing I think could be improved is that I really wish they would have a dedicated gluten free fryer so I could have tried the baby kipfler potatoes which my other guest thoroughly enjoyed. But I understand limited space in the kitchen might make this implausible, and I still really appreciate the NOMAD groups consideration of allergens when devising your menu and training of staff who knew exactly what I meant when said celiac. If you have celiac disease I would recommend coming here again and again.

Emma Damen

There are so many gluten-free options, including dumplings . Our new favourite 😍 amazing service and cocktails 🍸

Ruwi W

Nice bar with a good selection of cocktails and nibbles. Perfect for intimate catch ups after work with a cozy feel. Staff were friendly and accommodating for my gluten intolerant friend.

Maria M

Best place ever! Feels like home! Plus they accommodated my dietary requirements - best gluten free/low fodmap pesto pasta. Highly recommend!

Madeleine Mariani

The staff here are amazing. Made gluten free dining very easy! Great food.

Maryann Larkin

Came here for dinner tonight with my mum and a couple of friends, we didn’t have a booking but Katie got us seated at the bar and got us a table ready. Mum and I are gluten free so Katie took the time to run through everything we could eat and then her and the team made the whole dining room experience so enjoyable. The food was good, the vibe was great but the staff was better. We’ll be back xx

Dan Frank

Very accommodating, considerate and helpful. Catered to all our needs vegetarian, and gluten free. A genuine feel of Italy. Worthy restaurant.

Brian Watkins

Adrian

Close to a 10/10 experience. We came here with a gluten, dairy, onion & garlic intolerance and they were able to cater for us. The service was close to perfect as the waiters were knowledgeable and helpful especially with the food intolerances. One of the ladies gave us a customised menu which showed us which foods we could and couldn’t eat. We ordered the scotch fillet which was cooked medium rare without us asking how we wanted it cooked. Luckily, we love medium rare steak and this steak was phenomenal!🥩 We also ordered the fries / chips which tasted like McDonalds. We loved these.🍟 Lastly, we ordered the fried rice which tasted amazing. 🍚 Our order came to $187 including a $17 Sunday surcharge. We would definitely would like to come back and definitely would recommend to others. The only thing that’s stopped me from rating this five out of five, was that I asked if there was any decaffeinated espresso martini, and the waiter never got back to me. I also think the menu prices were a little high. Thank you Coda.

Sharon Tooley

Good simple burger. Well cooked - not dry or dripping in fat. Not over loaded like a lot of burger joints where it’s difficult to eat. Good gluten free options. Chips are excellent.

Erin Hutchinson

Recently went here with some friends thinking that as I’m gluten and dairy free, I would struggle to find something to eat. To my surprise and delight, they have gluten free pasta and could easily accommodate dairy free! So nice to be able to get an italian meal with friends and the food was amazing and soo quick! Also the BYO is so handy and service was great Def make a booking because it was packed!

Renee T

A great authentic Mexican experience. Had the 'Tres Amigos Meal' as the kunch special. Excellent value and totally delicious! Also had fabulous Strawberry Margarita I ordered with the lunch special. Will not be leaving hungry! Great gluten free options as well. Thank you!!

Daniel Wu

The restaurant is cozy and the service is great, making for a really nice time. They have traditional Cantonese dishes and some special ones too, like steamed fish, lobster with noodles, and crispy roasted pork. The chicken soup is really good too. The food is made really well with just the right amount of seasoning, so you can taste all the different flavors. The staff is super friendly and helpful, whether you're ordering or eating. They're always there to make sure you have a good time. Oh, and they have gluten-free options too. I highly recommend this place for groups.

Delicious burger, fries and mocktail. Staff were very accomodating with me being gluten and dairy free. There was even a separate frier so I could have fries.
