Was excited to try this restaurant as it came recommend for gluten free dining. We enjoyed a tasty pasta dish and flatbread, with very generous servings. Prices are a little higher but one pasta dish and flatbread was plenty of food for two adults to share.

We went here to try the food as my friend is celiac and they offer gluten free options. Food was yummy. Lamb pieces were abit tough but the other 2 skewers were a hit! Rice was bland but the yoghurt helped. Ambience is nice though tables were very crowded in small space.

One of the best Italian restaurants I've been to. The reviews we so good I thought, I have to try Alfresco Italian. I'm celiac, and they catered for me without any trouble. The meals were delicious, service was top level and a great atmosphere and decor. I'll be back.

The food is so flavourful and I loved how healthy it is! Not healthy meaning only the vegetable and meat but healthy as in they don't cook with inflammatory oils, instead they cook with butter, olive oil and I believe I think coconut oil as well. I got a gingerella and WOW tasted so addicting and it was balanced well with the hint of vanilla! I asked for a veggie stir fry with a salmon on top and the salmon was cooked just too well! Not too raw and not too overcooked it was easy to chew, soft and overall you could tell it was pure fresh right from the sea. You could tell the salmon lived a good life under the sea 🤣. I also got a cinnamon and apple cake and also a blueberry one and they are gluten free meaning they also dont use any of those bleached flours! The cakes WERE SO GOOD and rightfully filling! But right as I'm typing this I'm craving another one!!! My mum loved the apple and cinnamon one and its suprising because my mother usually doesn't like eating from outside! The workers were so kind, I came a bit late and they were closing but they were so generous to still serve me even when they were meant to be closing! You could tell they really care about feeding their customers wholesome gut-friendly food and care about when they are hungry aswell! The scenery was peaceful and quiet along with some tropical music but with no lyrics which I prefer that way! So much tropical plants and the store looked so alive that I felt right at home! Overall if your looking for a cafe that doesn't use any inflammatory oils, that really want to nurious their customers and they do not whatsoever use suger or bleached or chemical ingredients. They are the bestfriend to the gut health! I love eating here and my vacation is over so I will forever miss eating here!!!

A lovely little cozy cafe!! Lovely staff! Really cool latte art! We got a bunny and a Pegasus! The food was also amazing and they were very accommodating to gluten free options! Pretty much the whole menu can be made gluten free with some moderations. 😊 the lady who served us was very sweet and helped us move tables bc there were 6 of us and overall lovely service

Stumbled across Café Alfons and wow—what a gem! You know a place is doing something right when it’s buzzing at 9am on a Wednesday. The staff were friendly and super quick, checking in without hovering. The food was fresh, full of flavour, and hands down the best avo and feta combo I’ve ever had. My wife asked about a gluten-free option for one of the dishes—unfortunately it wasn’t possible, but the team handled it kindly and didn’t make us feel awkward at all. We left very happy and already planning our next visit. Only downside? We wish there was one closer to home!

Dined here two nights in a row. Chef was very happy to accommodate my dietary requirements with coeliac disease. Customer service was outstanding! Our host for the evening 'Guy' made us all feel special and greeted us like friends when we returned on the second night. Our two international waitresses were just lovely. Food variety was great...steak was awesome and pizzas were sensational.

Wife and I stumbled on this place and decided to get a sandwich before leaving for the airport. We were told it would take 7mins but it took 18mins to make a gluten free mushroom toastie. Other patrons ordered after us received their meals in a reasonable time frame but we were left waiting. There was only one person making sandwiches and the other 3 staff members were just standing around talking. Disappointed since we were excited to try but unfortunately the service and inefficiency left a negative experience. Overall quality of the sandwich was decent but $18 for a small toastie seems over priced if you're comparing it to the regular sour dough option and we paid extra for the gluten free bread. We had high hopes but the service definitely needs to improve.

Ordered through Uber Eats & had the most delicious Phos. They used excellent quality poached chicken & the gluten free noodles were cooked beautifully with fresh veg. The ability to order extra chicken as well as veggies was a great addition, phenomenal. Thank you team. Love your food 🍲

Paul from Arlo's Pizzeria has looked after many of my clients and most recently catered our daughter's 21st birthday ... and we couldn't have been happier with his service and food! He was exceptionally prompt, worked within our budget and went above and beyond to accommodate our guests, including those with coeliac disease, which we greatly appreciated. The charcuterie board, salads, pasta and pizza he prepared were absolutely fantastic - every guest raved about the quality and flavour. Having Paul cater the event made the night so much more enjoyable and stress-free. If you're planning a home function and want amazing food and professional service, Paul is your go-to. We'll definitely be booking him again for our next event.
