The best food and service! We had an amazing waiter, Mac who gave great recommendations and was very friendly. The gluten free options are extensive, with almost the entire menu being coeliac safe. Would definitely recommend!

The pub was full of diners, but there wasn't a noise problem. The service was excellent as was the food. They are a certified Coeliac Restaurant.

Full disclosure I was never vegie bar’s hugest fan as the food for me has always been largely average in quality so even as a vegan I haven’t eaten here for years. However when it was one of my friends turn to choose a restaurant for the three of us he chose this one (he has a proven track record for not choosing well). I was determined to give it another shot and, I’ll give them their dues, the staff were overall quite friendly and the restaurant does have a pretty interior. The gnocchi was pretty decent and was even gluten free, one of my friends got one of the pizzas which he said was good however, the other got the laksa which she reviewed as largely lacking flavour and fairly one note. The mulled wine was sickly sweet (I am a massive fan of mulled wine and this was the most shocking imitation I have ever tasted though to be fair they did list sugar as an ingredient I just hadn’t realised how much prominence they’d give that ingredient). When it came time for dessert my friend was informed that they didn’t have the citrus tart so decided upon the special which was apple pie with ice cream, my other friend got a sundae, I asked the waitress what she would order between tiramisu and carrot cake, we landed on carrot cake. A few minutes later, she came back to the table to inform us they were out of both the carrot cake and tiramisu so I also opted for the apple pie. This is where the night really went south. Whilst my friend with the sundae enjoyed it, the apple pie was a textural nightmare for my other friend and myself. The pie casing (because I refuse to call it a crust) had the texture of kinetic sand and seemed determined to coat the entire mouth like glue when eating. It was very sweet but lacked much flavour apart from a hint of cinnamon which was buried beneath mounds of sugar. The friend that introduced us to this grim experience thought we must have been being dramatic - which to be fair “this is the worst thing I’ve had in my mouth this week”, whilst true was dramatic -tried the pie and immediately agreed that it was in the top 50 worst foods he had eaten in his life. I have no idea how this became a special, perhaps the chefs were trying for something, failed and then the owner still put it on the menu as they didn’t see any sense in throwing it in the bin and writing off the cost of the experiment gone wrong, if this is the case next time I beg you to just write off the cost! It’s fitting that this dinner was in the month of Halloween as the experience was truly haunting!

Great food with lots of vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. Cocktail and wine selection excellent. Vibrant atmosphere and great service.

Food was great and had such a great environment. We had 1 person in our group who was vegetarian and another who was gluten intolerant and they were able to fit those dietary requirements. Portions of the pizza were proper big sizes that I had to take to go as leftovers. I would suggest making a reservation here as we tried to walk in and they almost would not seat us as a party of 5.

Unbelievably good gluten free pizza (and gnocchi). They make their own dough, and the texture is actually just like real pizza with the right chewiness and crisp. Expensive but worth it. They don’t skimp on toppings or cheese either. Very fast service.

João Oliveira

Delicious food. I really liked, explosion of flavours. Busy but good customer service and all menu is gluten free. I recommend and for sure will come back more times.

what once was a favourite place of mine left me leaving in TEARS. i was scared to talk to the gracious woman serving us to let her know that i didn’t like my order and that my past favourite drink the rose milkshakes cream tasted sour and the drink itself was bland only tasting of the vegan milk. the chef/ owner came to tell me he tasted both and i am wrong. he came with such a rudeness and anger inside him it completely shocked me - considering i’ve been here 2 times before and really loved the experience and food. plus the other lady who works there that has purple hair is so kind and understanding. he got really personal at the cashier for which he waited to serve us so he could try and charge me for my meal i didn’t like. he said that he doesn’t want customers like me and tried to talk over me when i was calmly trying to express how i felt. it ruined my morning when he told me i need help and mocked me for saying that his cafe was my favourite as i’ve only been twice before. i have coeliac disease and lactose intolerance so i struggle finding safe places - it really hurt hearing him laugh and judge me for simply expressing i used to enjoy his establishment a lot. when i started to tear up when i said “i’m unsure if he’s struggling with things at the moment and maybe that’s why he’s angry but i didn’t feel comfortable with the judgemental energy coming from him” he mocked me for almost crying and when i left he was almost yelling - saying i need help and told my friend that “ make sure she gets help” . this really hurt me to know there are people out there that make you feel like it’s bad to simply speak your opinion (in a polite manner) and that it’s wrong for showing any sign of emotions. the way he handled the situation was so extreme and he acted from a hurt place. i wish he didn’t take my distaste for his food so personally - the situation would of been a lot calmer as i was there with a new friend who i was excited to take to this cafe. what a shame and a hard way to start the day. 💔 i would like to add he tried to charge me for the milkshake and the avo toast i got to replace the porridge that had no flavour. the avo toast was delicious (apart from some unripe bits) but overall was really yummy and i finished it all, he then after our argument at the cashier desk when i said i thought i didn’t have to pay for the milkshake he got really rude and in a rage said fine then don’t pay for anything it’s a gift to you. but the way he said it was almost like he knew he had to do this to make up for how bad the experience really was … almost like he knew it would look better on paper for him to offer that. i tried to pay but he was so passive and extremely fake nice saying no no it’s a gift!!! after reading the other negative comments i can see this is a common theme for him and the fact he continues to defend himself in the comments after people share their experience really shows how much he doesn’t understand customer service and how he brings whatever he’s dealing with in his life into his work place .

Arcadia is an absolute gem of a cafe and we go there every week for lunch. The food is delicious and beautifully presented, with perfectly sized portions and great combinations of flavours. Since taking over the cafe a few months ago, Noah and his new chef have done a great job revamping the menu, with a nice selection of vegetarian/vegan and gluten-free options. We've tried quite a number of the dishes and everything is excellent. Can't recommend this place highly enough!!

Gemma Maree

Wow! We really enjoyed our visit. I am Coeliac and need to be sure of GF food. The service I received was informed, serious and competent. It was such a pleasure to be looked after by the staff and the kitchen for Sunday lunch and drinks. We are visitors from Sydney and we will definitely come back to this pub. Your staff are all a credit to valuable training and presentation skills. Thank you.
