Top 23 Gluten-Free Accommodating Spots to Discover in Surry Hills

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.

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.

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.

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 😍

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 !

Leanne Caruana

Food not great and overpriced. Had to pay an additional $5 for gluten free bun that was inedible. Won’t be going back. If you’re going to charge for GF at least buy premium grade. Disappointing 😢

Emma Dunbar

Great service- went above and beyond to cater to coeliac dietary requirement! Food is flawless.

Nikiah O'Grady

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

David Muscatello

Very pleased with the experience here. The menu is gluten free unless otherwise marked, which is fantastic for a coeliac.

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!
