Great gluten free options. Great spot and good service 👍

The gluten free Cinnammon swirl pancakes were honestly incredible. But I have to say some of the staff seemed really unhappy to be working there and the seating arrangement is not the best. I asked the middle aged bald server if I could be moved up and he kinda rudely responded that they don’t use those tables at all, meaning I couldn’t sit there despite them all being empty. Kind of weird. The nachos were also not the best but still fine. Would only come back for the amazing pancakes.

Visited twice for dinner during a stay in The Rocks. We absolutely loved the menu items across each course, with amazing flavors and high quality ingredients. The lamb shoulder was “melt in your mouth” tender. Amazing cauliflower side dish. The humus dip is spectacularly good and we fought over that. There were multiple Gluten Free options in each course, even desserts! The team are attentive and genuinely friendly. Cocktails arrived quickly and wine recommendations were helpful. Highly recommended!

Unquestionably one of the very best dining experiences in Sydney of any cuisine .. Service, quality, freshness, menu choices, coeliac friendly, a wonderful host ... an absolute flawless meal in every way . . Well done and thank you .. you never ever disappoint!

Hells Bells

Amazing views from the MCA Cafe, although there was a cruise ship docked. The staff were friendly and attentive and we were seated almost immediately. Seating is available indoors and outdoors is at a prime. Great range of food and drinks on offer with vegan and gluten-free options. We ordered the beer battered fish and chips, burger and dips platter. I also had home lemonade which tasted like a mint julip. Will definitely be back when we visit Sydney again.

Oh! Dosa at The Rocks offers a delightful array of gluten-free South Indian street food. Their innovative Butter Chicken Idli—a fusion of tender idlis topped with rich butter chicken—is a must-try. Located at The Rocks Markets, it’s a convenient spot to enjoy authentic flavors. The friendly service and vibrant atmosphere make it a perfect weekend treat. Highly recommended!

Visited this place few times so far as it has really cute ambiance however was a bit disappointed this time around. I know that new ordering with QR codes is introduced to have service more accurate and quicker but it did spoil whole experience for us. We felt that waitresses are there just to bring out food and clean tables without providing “old fashioned “ service and having a quick chat with a customer. We have ordered the grand stand with tea and coffee. Scones were bit dry for our taste and highlights were their house blend tea and chunky raspberry jam. You can get lovely knitted products at the place or take away baskets with scones and sandwiches . Gluten free scones are available but you have to ring ahead of time.

The most delicious gluten free pizza I've ever had!

Amy Fulton

A lovely little cafe, will be coming back tomorrow! Welcoming friendly staff, great quality and variety of food. Lots of food options including some Gluten free and vegan. Sticky chai, plant based milks and great coffee.

Stephen Pasfield

Fabulous hotel with fair prices for a heritage area in the Rocks. What's even better is that they sell gluten free canned beer and serve tasty light meals.

Liam Furlong

We had almond FW, EB tea, flippin' huge Nutella cookie and the Good Morning roll on gluten free bagel... The team were fantastically welcoming and nothing was too much trouble which is always endearing. That said, the coffee was by far the best coffee I've had since being in Sydney this last week (holiday from Melbourne) and being able to find a breakfast treat that met my dietary requirements was a happy start to my day. Thank you!

The Prime Rib Cut is incredible, its not just a great dish but a fun experience. This was my favourite steak house pre covid and I'm very happy its back. Very beautifully done venue, friendly staff and a great menu with options. We had a celiac and a vegetarian and there was lots of options. Will be back.

The first stop in Sydney, Australia was at Sydney’s Oldest Pub, the Fortune of War! I sat and had drinks with a friend and was able to order the beef nachos (they were baked) and some truffle mashed potatoes! (I'm celiac and need gluten free) 😋 The staff were super knowledgeable and if they didn’t know something they’d call the chef and ask him! 👍🏼

Lyle Steffensen

The seafood, and surprisingly, the steak was absolutely incredible. I was particularly impressed with how willing they were to cater for me being coeliac, and how helpful the kitchen was as well in adapting so skilfully. The food was honestly incredible. The sommelier really knew her stuff, which I really appreciate. And that view! I mean, come on - best harbour in the world. A wonderful meal in an epic location. Worth the cost for a special occasion!

Janina Kelly

Great food, super friendly staff. Lots of gluten-free options. Would definitely come back.

We had high tea today for my Birthday back in May - yes it’s November - but COVID and all that. So, there was a lot of anticipation, I can tell you. ….and I can’t say enough about how wonderful the high tea was! The food was yummy and gorgeous to look at. They went out of their way, as I’m a Coeliac. The Manager and I had a lovely chat and turns out she’s gluten intolerant too. The staff were friendly and helpful. The social distancing was all happening. So, it was a relaxing and enjoyable arvo all round. We both enjoyed it thoroughly. The complimentary free glass of bubbles went down very nicely too! Thank you Four Seasons, Sydney. It was a long time coming, but today was perfect.

Had a fantastic cheese and ham croissant and sausage roll from here - $15 for both which seemed very fair. So many excellent looking sweet pasties too, some only $6. They also do large gluten free cakes which look likely they'd feed a party

We went for the 8 course, I had the gluten free adjustments and the temperance pairing (non alcoholic) and it was exceptional. The service was wonderful, we had a lovely British man as our waiter and then throughout the night a wonderful Australian woman as our sommelier. The meals had interesting flavour combinations. Top favourites: -Mud crab noodles - perfection. -Eel cream - very unusual texture with that flavour. -Scallop and abalone - well done. -White coral -(desert) Really something special flavour wise. -The temperance blue pea white tea (drink) A beautiful way to start the night. I love this drink, and the colours it morphed into. A real treat. Overall these courses were lovely, I really enjoyed it, and I rank it highly. The restaurant it's beautiful, it has different shapes that wind about resembling something similar to an shell. The view is beautiful too, tables facing the opera house. I also liked the staffs outfits, they looked warm and smart. Thank you so much to all of our waiters, our sommelier, the front of house and the large kitchen of chefs! We really appreciate it. 🙏

Loved the Pork Knuckle! So great to have food that is tasty and also safe for coeliacs!

Christopher Williams

Hickson House is a gem. Well worth the stop. The outside Gin tasting was great and really showed the diversity in Australia Gin with level of flavor and character. While proceeding inside sitting at the bar. The bartender really cared about his craft and was the upmost professional. P.s. the kitchen went out their way to get gluten free cracker for my partner. Hospitality is still alive!

What a great interactive experience! It was a birthday lunch for a close friend and everything was an absolute perfection. You get what you pay for in this case, the quality, service and atmosphere reflects in the price. The waitress was gorgeous, attentive but not over the top. The chef was amazing and more than happy to engage in food conversation if that is what you wish. He got us to try part of a prawn that I would normally discard as rubish and We loved it!! Cooked beautifully! They took great care to accommodate my gluten free diet, nothing was too much. Cocktails were amazing! What a lovely experience! Well done guys 👏 My friend receiving beautifully wrapped box of chocolates on the way out for her birthday was cherry on top 😊 10/10 experience. You will not be disappointed.

Went for breakfast two days in a row. Very well priced breakfast. Super fast service and lovely staff. Not really a dine in spot, def more takeaway but they will do dine in for you if you ask. Very good coffees with The Alternative brand oat milk. Got scrambled eggs, portion size was HUGE must have been about 6 eggs. With gluten free bread as well. Really yummy. Porridge was good, instant porridge nothing special. However for $8 and made with oat milk it was nice on cold morning. Would come back!

Amazing food!! servers were very lovely and accomodating to my coeliac gluten free requirements. I felt very comfortable dining here and would highly recommend.

Great location good food but not fast. No idea about gluten free because it's order through the ap, so not a fan of that. Bit the food was good enough we went back a few days later. I had a fantastic salad. Kids had burgers (one bunless) water is self serve on the bar

We visited the pub on Saturday for lunch. They use a QR code for ordering and the calamari was marked as Gluten Free but showed chips which were beer battered and not gluten free. Before ordering I checked with a staff member who confirmed with the kitchen that the meal was gluten free. I ordered and it came out with beer battered chips. I questioned it again and the server spoke to the kitchen who said I didn't request gluten free and she tried to put the meal down again and said it was my fault. I showed her the app and showed her it was marked as gluten free and not an option to make gluten free. She stormed off to the kitchen again and came back with the calamari this time with the gluten free sweet potato chip option. She basically slammed the food on the table in front of me making all of us jump and then every time she walked past us or bought more drinks out she gave us incredibly dirty looks. We did nothing to deserve this terrible service and there is an error in the app menu. Wouldn't go back
