Top 7 Gluten-Free Asian Spots to Explore in Fitzroy

This place is incredible. I’m gluten free (celiac) and it had so many options that were naturally GF, and it’s the first time I’ve ever had GF bao. My wife and I’s favorite restaurant we tried in Melbourne without a doubt, and she’s not GF. Andre is an absolute legend. Highly recommend this place, especially if GF.

Very vibrant and fun restaurant with lots of different seating options. Nice food and plenty of vegan and gluten free options - they even have a vegan chefs menu which is very reasonable priced. Staff were nice. Will be back!

Went in for dinner with my husband; we have always wanted to try this Japanese restaurant along the beach and THANKGOD we did not go for a special occasion. We were presented with the menus with limited gluten free options. The GFO is the chef just taking off an ingredient and adding more sauce. After voicing my concerns of having some sort of replacement on the Donburi “pickle” that wasn’t gluten free they presented this small ramekin of pickles. We ordered two Donburi and why was there one ramekin? Honestly couldn’t be bothered voicing my concerns again. Around Melbourne you can find a Donburi with the protein rice and even some four leaf salad, but the one I was presented with was similar to a frozen meal from the supermarket. Rice was chalky and I felt forced to eat it because it was $28. Moving along to the “spicy cauliflower” which was unseasoned, meaning No salt. As a chef you salt fried food as it is pulled from the fryer. This unseasoned flavour left the after taste of oil, oil, oil. Hey don’t get me wrong I love fried food but come on when you pay for $18 fried cauliflower you expect it to be immaculate. Guys all I can say is if your planning on coming here don’t plan a special occasion or first date. Honestly just leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Service from waiters were good, and atmosphere was nice, but that’s not the reason someone goes to a restaurant. They go because they are HUNGRY and want to be Satisfied. Sorry team please work on the future menu.

Tried this on Saturday. With the weather we were lucky to have gotten a table quick. Please note that they do not take bookings and sometimes you may have to wait some time to get a table. I was impressed that all there ramens are vegan and they have gluten free options. The menu is diverse for vegetarian and vegans and if you have gluten intolerances. The flavour profiles are beautifully balanced. The service is great and you do not have to wait a long time for your food.

Some of their ramen bowls can be made gluten free by substituting ramen noodles for rice noodles. They also mention which ingredients may be marinated in soy sauce and can be taken out as well. A warm and filling meal ☺️

Had dinner here yesterday, so delicious, and got to sit outside in the evening sun! My companion loved the Ramen, she said it was excellent, as were the gluten free starters I filled up on.

Yum yum yum! Most of their menu is gluten free or can be modified. Our waitress is incredible! They let you taste your wine, they give you recommendations that are on point. They're really cheerful people and it was such a nice experience, the entire dinner! Must have the tandoori chicken and the 7 hour slow cooked beef!!!
