Aaron Steed

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

Jessica Roe

Fantastic service and knowledge of coeliac. Highly recommend

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 .

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.

I tried the gluten free capricciosa pizza. Well-made dough, just the right amount of crunch. Very tasty and abundant ingredients. Definitely a quality Italian product here in Sydney. Silvio, the owner, very kind and friendly. The wine was also excellent! 🤙🏻 Very welcoming place. Recommended.

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.

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.

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.

Jessica Bowles

I went to dinner with 3 friends and it was a wonderful experience. Atmosphere is really nice with seating both downstairs and upstairs and is very welcoming. Menu is extensive and has vegetarian, dairy free, nut free and gluten free options so really something for anyone with a restriction! Staff were very attentive and service was wonderful.

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

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!

Niccii Kugler

We celebrated a birthday at The Winery for one of their Sip & Slay brunches. The food was amazing with generous portions. Our various dietary needs were taken care of seamlessly with delicious gluten and dairy free alternatives provided. The service was exceptional from the moment we arrived - with a shout out to the lovely Eva! The drag show was spectacular! Fun, entertaining and brilliantly naughty. Highly recommend!

Macarthur Amey

Lots of gluten free options and dog friendly! What more could you want?!

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.

John Griffey

Nice gluten free beer

Yury Kim

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

Ayriana Rackham

This is by far in my top 5 dining experiences! The food itself is fresh, delicious and unique. Even better is they are very educated with allergens ( I have Celiac's disease), and they took it seriously. It's a professional, trendy, yet welcoming space. I went back 3 times while I was in Sydney because it was such an awesome experience! To top it off their staff is brilliant -professional, educated, and a delight to be around. I can't wait to go back!

Nikiah O'Grady

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

Ashelén Tejerina

One of the best Gluten Free Pizza that I ate in Surry Hills! (I ordered the 4 cheeses one!)

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 !

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.

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.

Rachel Hannigan

We dined at Cicerone last night as a group of seven, including one friend with coeliac disease. While the food itself was enjoyable, the overall experience was disappointing- especially in terms of accommodating dietary requirements. When booking over the phone, I specifically mentioned that we had a coeliac in our group. The restaurant informed me that they only offer gluten-free pasta, which was fine, but they failed to mention that she would still be required to pay the full $69 feast menu price, even though all she could eat was a single bowl of pasta. Due to our group size, we were required to do the feast menu. However, when we arrived, we asked if our coeliac friend could order separately from the à la carte menu while the rest of us had the feast, but this was refused. When we raised our concerns with the waiter, the manager came over, but rather than being understanding, they were quite rude and dismissive. While the food was nice, the lack of flexibility and poor customer service left a bad impression. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant for groups, especially if anyone in your party has dietary restrictions.

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!

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

Bianca Picker

We recently celebrated my husband’s birthday at Lil Darlin’ in Surry Hills, and it was absolutely perfect! We booked a group for their bottomless brunch and were blown away by the entire experience. The food was incredible – everything was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. We had two coeliac guests in our group, and the staff went above and beyond to provide a dedicated gluten-free menu with plenty of safe and tasty options. It made such a difference and was genuinely appreciated! The cocktails were sensational – creative, well-balanced, and kept flowing throughout the brunch. For $89–$99 per person, it was incredibly good value and reasonably priced for the quality and amount of food and drinks provided. The vibe of the place is fun and relaxed, perfect for a celebration. We’re already planning our next visit. If you're looking for great food, amazing drinks, and top-notch service, Lil Darlin’ is the place to be. Highly recommend!

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.
