Top 2 Gluten-Free Spots Across Canberra Central, Canberra

Leonie Noble

Had a really great experience. Staff were very friendly and understanding of celiac requirements and made all the necessary efforts to avoid cross contamination. My daughter is highly sensitive and had no reactions after visiting SoLita.

Elli Van Blommestein

Mother’s Day Lunch was great, thanks to Heidi for a great experience. Excellent allergy accommodation with the coeliac Feed Me option!

Fleur Hagen

This place was awesome! The service was great! Very friendly and quick even though it was super busy. The boss had put enough people on - good work. Lots of gluten-free desert. Will be back!!!! This is a must go. 🙌

Nick Boucher

Gluten free options are good.

We had the gluten free version of the Hao San’s tasting menu for dinner when we went. Food was very fresh and delicious. The service was wonderful and it is evident that the staff have exceptional teamwork which made for a great experience. Slightly overpriced, however all the food is great quality.

The best Italian resturant in Canberra!! I have been here many times, and each time the food is AMAZING!! Their gluten free options are plentiful, and they take great care in no cross contamination and also offer celiac friendly and vegan options!! The pizza and pasta is phenomenal, and the service is kind and fast and taken with great care!! 10/10, love this place

Lauren Arthur

Just divine! Popped in for dinner on a Saturday night. My first impression - they knew we had a coeliac at the table due to our booking notes. It was so refreshing!!! The food was excellent. As a coeliac they gave me recommendations on what they could guarantee would be completely gluten free. I had the barramundi and it was delicious. The rest of the table enjoyed the set menu with the chicken and fish curries. Everyone was impressed by the quality and taste of the food. The service was top notch - our waiter was very attentive and helped us out with what to order for the group. The drinks were also yum! Cannot recommend high enough! We’ll be back!!

Hannah Ocean

Great gluten-free service, they even have gluten free soy sauce bottles for the table. Highly recommend for coeliac people :)

Matthew

First time at Wilma and expectations exceeded. Lots of gluten free options and incredibly helpful and friendly staff (thanks Irina!). The wagyu cooked on an open flame is fabulous. Must order.

Anthony Gadenne

Such beautiful experience to have my birthday with family here. Great food and super helpful in sorting out gluten free options. Awesome friendly service by the staff. Thanks again for making such a great day.

The food was INCREDIBLE! It was super tasty, there were labels on the menu for Vegan, Gluten Free and Vegetarian which was awesome and the service was great. The only issue is that with our designated seating time, our food was delayed and came out 10 minutes before we had to be out. But I would recommend the later seating if you are to go, because the food and drinks are definitely worth it.

Emily Lyn

Great gluten free options!!

Tilly Mcintosh

Good gluten free, vegan and dairy free options with absolutely divine food that perfectly combines traditional Peruvian and Japanese food with a modern and stylish twist.

Michelle B

Ordered gluten free, explained coeliac, said they’d be careful and couldn’t guarantee no cross contamination, fair enough BUT they gave my daughter a gluten tortilla, that’s not cross contamination or being careful it’s pure carelessness. Daughter now the sickest she’s ever been, they clearly gave my other daughter her meal (ordered same but one with gluten free tortilla). Really unfortunate and restaurant was empty so wasn’t like they were busy. No care taken here.

Prachi Arya

The poached chicken pasta with pesto was delicious. Thank you for making it gluten free for me too :)

Hannah Essex

Really good selection of gluten free meals and our salads were delicious 😋

Zahra Easton

Great food and tons of gluten free options (wish there was gf naan though). We were served fast and it was decently priced.

Ness Turner

Lovely dinner - everyone was super happy with their meals - and pricing was affordable so we could get a lot of meals to share - will definitely return! GF was noted on menu (however staff didn’t know an awful lot about Gluten free!)

Coolahan

Mama's trattoria is fantastic. The decor and food remind me of when we were in Italy and the prices are so much more reasonable than other Italian restaurants. The staff are so friendly and warm and the coffee is also great. I generally go for the gluten free pasta. Both eat in and takeaway work well.

Anti Grabbity Is your balcony Safe?

The food was amazing! We went for the Valentines day set dinner and they catered for my dairy and gluten allergy. The meat was a shared plate with plenty of food for everyone. So tasty!

Janay Lauren

Had a gluten free bagel here and it was fantastic. Nice vibes and friendly staff too

Eeny Hake

Delicious range of burgers, and the gluten free buns are very good

Alex Jennings

Boy am I glad that we decided to give Bar Beirut a go. The owner is absolutely lovely and it’s clear that this restaurant is the product of love and a deep-seated passion for food. Everything is pure class - the food, the staff, the vibes. Not to mention they were awesome catering for coeliac. For meals of this quality I would honestly expect to be paying a lot more anywhere else. Dish pick of the night would have to be the lamb shank - the owner informed me that it’s his Mum’s recipe too :) Also excellent were the Kofta and the Charred Chicken. Highly recommend, we will be back!

Karen W

A work colleague too me to courgette because it’s a great place for him to get a coeliac friendly meal. I also have a lot of food intolerances, so i was a it nervous going to such a fancy place as they often don’t want to alter meals. To my delight, there was selections on the 3 course lunch that I could eat with minimal alterations. All dishes were delightful. As with most fancy places - don’t come expecting massive meals, but they’re very very tasty. It’s very quiet, so great for having a business conversation. Would definitely Go back if I was living in Canberra.

Carolyn

Wow wow wow. What a great experience all round. The food is spectacular and they catered for my gluten allergy seamlessly. The staff were enthusiastic, helpful and very accommodating, very knowledgeable about the food and wines/cocktails. Everything was delicious and the bar has a great relaxed and hip vibe. My new favourite!

Mystified

Super reliable with coffee, staff are exceptionally friendly and attentive. More gluten free options would be good, especially sweets.

Frea H

Busy Friday evening but managed to get a table. Large share meals were delicious and staff were all friendly. Didn't get orientated to the ordering system when seated but worked it out eventually. Options galore and veg/gluten free friendly.

Tavi Telfer

Groovy little spot. Plenty of gluten free options. Delicious prawns and cauliflower.

Ricki B

I booked 88MPH for a private function and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The options for the different food and drinks packages were clearly explained and easily customisable so I got exactlywhat I wanted without having to compromise. the menue had a wide variety with heaps of vegetarian and gluten free options and on the night all the food was delicious. The staff that worked my event were absolute professional but still fun. They kept all my guest happy and were incredibly accommodating. They deserve all the credit for my party being a night I will never forget. Thank you Max, Issy, Piper, Rory and Maia you are superstars!!

Tanya Montagner

First time axe-throwing was so much fun! Demonstration was very thorough by our host. Luke was a great coach and made us the best gluten free pizza. Will definitely be going back!

Glenn Murray

Great gluten free menu with excellent wine made for a very pleasant Friday evening meal. Good prompt service and great tasty food presentation added to fine but casual dining.

Natalia Greene

Thai place is an institution! The food is always delicious, it’s well priced and service is top notch and friendly. I love the face I can have gluten free food here and the whole family loves the food too!

Cassandra Gee

Too loud. Too dark. Got our order wrong and very slow service. Good tacos but lost points due to stale shell. Tiny drinks that are 95% ice. Gluten free options available but arnt stated on the menu. I had gluten free which might be why they were stale. I probably wont go back

Anne Caine

My husband and I went to Compa last night to try their truffle dishes. There weren't many of these, and less gluten free ones, but the ones we had were very good. I am a bit of a 'truffle tragic' so I am trying as many truffle dishes in restaurants in Canberra as I can this truffle season. We wanted to try a truffle cheese - but they didn't have one of these. I don't think it would be too difficult to do a triple cream truffle brie. Worth thinking about - to add to their truffle offerings. Bit what was exceptional was the service. We go to quite a few restaurants and I haven't see service like this since I lived in Paris and used to go to Parisian restaurants. Well done guys. Special mention to Matteo who I think was the head honcho - but who very happily took our orders for whatever and regularly checked on how we were going. I had expected that being a Matt Moran venue in Canberra that all that staff would be a bit full of themselves - but quite the opposite. All were responsive, friendly and competent. It was a great night and I could not recommend the restaurant more highly. Well done guys!!

Angus Collins

Fantastic service. Waiters/resses were very knowledgeable and attentive. Fantastic food. Good selection of omnivore and vegan meals. Also caters well for gluten free. Thanks a lot!

EVA Obeid

The food was great, but the chips were cold and we had an issue with the app. We haven’t been to Nando’s in quite some time and haven’t gotten used to the app yet. As a person with celiac, I was looking for food without any wheat/gluten. I clicked on salads and read the ingredients, only read: “grains” and didn’t think it would be that much of a problem, the salad had wheat grains on top. I called an employee over and didn’t receive much help at all. Went to the chef and was told it was my problem for ordering salad with wheat on top and was showed the “allergy advice” button, the ingredient list didn’t show wheat grains at all. She replied with an angry tone and wasn’t kind at all. The chef needs to treat customers properly instead of telling them it’s their own problem.

Mandy TheMagical

Great place for meeting friends and having a bite. Great friendly service and vegetarian gluten free options.

Scarlett Z

Ordered Parmesan truffle fries which were delicious and a gluten free pizza. When pizza came after eating a whole piece I realised it wasn’t gluten free and felt very ill. My partner asked the waitress if it was gluten free and she said she forgot to specify. I completely understood how that could happen I work in hospitality myself! We then waited another 25 minutes for the gf pizza. However all that was offered in compensation was a glass of sparkling! When the bill came, the pizza was not taken off the bill which I thought would have been automatic. I didn’t say anything because I was feeling so ill and just wanted to get home.

Allan Blakeney

Best gluten free pizza in town

Van Huynh

Fresh delicious sushi. Staff were knowledgeable on gluten free options. Friendly staff

Joseph Lee-Civalier

A small Italian gem that you should try for great food and hot drinks plus the heart of what Italians bring to food and service. Good gluten free options also.

Thien Vuong (fooderarri)

They have great churros as usual 😋. But lately I've been trying out their selection of gelato and milkshakes. The milkshake was OK without being fantastic but gelato was good. I especially love it how they have gluten and dairy free dark chocolate and salted caramel. Regards @fooderarri

The QT is a nice hotel in Canberra CBD with beautiful views of Parliament House, Lake Burley Griffin and the Black Mountain. The room I had was a good size and clean. And now the not so good things. The bed was extremely uncomfortable. The pillows worse. You're provided with two pillows to choose from, firm or soft. Both are way too high to be comfortable. I'm actually in pain and had two sleepless nights.... But the bed linen appeared clean. Service-wise, I'm not impressed. Breakfast is fine but don't expect much in the way of gluten free. I was told the gluten-free options were in the other side of the buffet... About 6 to 8 slices of drying, almost stale gluten-free bread. The end. The only means to toast said bread was covered in gluten containing bread crumbs which renders that not an option. Today (Tuesday) there were no scrambled eggs on the buffet. I gave up waiting for the chef to come out of hiding to order some eggs so no eggs for me today. Yesterday (Monday) was a public holiday so the restaurant was closed, only bar food available I was told. Now the menu for the bar is a simplified version of the restaurant menu. Some of the dishes are marked as gluten free or having a gluten free options to it for the restaurant menu. The bar version of the menu, nothing. I asked the staff about it and was flatly told there was nothing on the menu gluten free. I don't understand what the difference is. If the restaurant can make the same dish gluten-free, why can't the bar? Then there's the parking. When I first arrived I was charged $8 for less than an hour. I was then charged $60 for two days. I have no problem with the $60, I expected that but the $8? And finally there's the program they have where for each day you hang a sign on the door to not have your room cleaned you get $10. I did this and nothing. The bar staff didn't seem to know what 8 was talking about when I asked about it. At the bar I had a whisky sour. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed them... But $30! Overpriced! A cocktail like a whisky sour shouldn't be more than $15. If you're argument is your using top shelf product them you're butchering the product. QT has the potential to be a really great 4 star hotel but these need to be addressed. And the staff member who welcomed me to the hotel, I wish I got her name was lovely and friendly.

Bella Benjamin

I love the co-op! The community is warm, inviting and inclusive. Lunches are always great and very affordable for such a nutritious vegan and gluten free meal, made with love. Lots of baked goods each day and $3 cups of soy chai! Discounted prices for members, students and volunteers. Highly recommend!

Jess Noack

Good quality meat and charcoal bbq. Reasonable pricing given Canberra standards (which is usually a bit higher). Good for gluten free options (mostly bbq) and those on lower carbohydrate diets.

Mik Bartels

Just a word of warning for anyone gluten intolerant: I have ordered from here a number of times and have previously had good experiences. My one star review is based off this one experience which unfortunately is a large mistake: I am gluten intolerant, and usually, when I order a gluten-free pho, it comes with rice vermicelli instead of the chunky rice noodles (which are often mixed with wheat flour - I know this as I have searched far and wide for a gluten free brand of pho noodles so I could make it at home [with no success]). I ordered take away via Uber Eats today (requesting gluten free in my order) and when my order arrived it had chunky rice noodles. I called the store to let them know that I thought I'd received a non-gluten free order. The person on the phone assured me that the noodles were gluten free. After chatting with the person I checked the menu online which said 'Pho can be gluten free with vermacelli or tapioca noodles' so I called back to let them know that I did not think the chunky rice noodles were gluten free. They told me again it was (letting me know that 'their friend who is gluten intolerant can eat them') so I took their word, thinking maybe they'd changed the recipe. Fast forward roughly six hours and I feel incredibly ill and how I usually feel when I accidentally eat gluten. I called the store back just now to ask if the pho is gluten free (I did not mention I'd ordered earlier today) and (a different person) on the phone informed me that the pho is not gluten free but can be made gluten free if it comes with rice vermacelli. This is the only meal I've eaten today and therefore is the only thing I can put it down to where I have been 'gluten poisoned' from. I understand mistakes happen, but I even called twice to make sure my order was gluten free. I hope that the restaurant would be much more careful in the future.

Great music, great food, great gluten-free options for coeliacs!

Silvia Monarchi

It was our first time at PappaRich, and we loved it. The staff was friendly, the service was fast, and the food very tasty, and reasonably priced. There are lots of gluten free options, which I was very pleased with. I had the GF R05 Pappa Special Nasi Lemak With Curry Chicken & Sambal Prawns, and it was delicious, the chicken was unbelievably tender and so were the prawns Yum!Yum! Yum! We will definitely go again.

Jason

Five star service from fantastic staff. My wife and two grandchildren were warmly welcomed to our table by Ash on arrival. The friendly and wonderful waitperson, Sarah, made our night by ensuring all our needs were met (even our celiac 4year old grandson). We were all delighted by the meals made by chefs Mel and Michael and their hard working kitchen staff. Our grandchildren were so happy that they wanted to thank them personally and were invited to the kitchen to say hello. Great meals and great staff!

Mike Ashley

Not a gourmet location but super convenient and helpful staff and not expensive. The big plus here is the good coffee that is well executed. Had a delicious double espresso from ONA Ethiopian washed process single origin beans. There was a mistake on a dirty almond chai latte but they just immediately made another one no questions asked! Only giving 4 stars because the omelette game could be stepped up but fix that and I’d give 5. The big breakfast was a hit with my lil guy who smashed it. Gluten free options available and almond milk for those who are evading allergy issues.
