Mister D’Arcy

Yummy south East Asian style menu. Owners have other restaurants that are also very coeliac aware. Definitely worth a visit.

Food was excellent and catered for gluten free extremely well. A pity that coffee is not available.

Interesting set up! First and perhaps most importantly, the dishes served are great. We had a range of dishes for a larger table, from watermelon salad to duck pancake, tempura cauliflower to a beautiful barramundi. And a tuna sashimi which was different. Almost all had a ‘special sauce’ of some sort, which elevated each dish from good to great! The foods are fantastic. Things that could be improved are more the tiny tables, whether for a couple or for 7, like us. Almost no room for water bottles and dishes being delivered. I guess that’s why staff stagger delivery of the entrees vs mains. Another challenge is the place is understandably popular, so pre-booking essential. Ask for a table at the front. The back, where we sat, was dark, crowded and dingy with a back door to the laneway used a few times to empty rubbish, not very nice. Service was good. We ordered some gluten free dishes, when standard dishes turned up instead, the waitperson was informed, went off to check and returned to apologise and say the gluten free dishes would be delivered with no extra charge. As other patrons mentioned, the place is not cheap and it’s a bit odd to have to place (and pay for) an order at the counter, up front. Quirky. But all the dishes are great.
