5 stars across the board - would give it 6 if I could. We were looking for a coeliac friendly restaurant and Meantime was perfect as it was 100% Gluten Free! Worked for our dietary restrictions and the food was delicious! The coeliac in our group literally commented that she felt “seen” and it was wonderful that we could all share food without worrying about cross-contamination. We learnt from the Manager that the owner is coeliac herself and that just boosted our confidence. Great staff, a coeliac safe environment and delicious food! Will definitely be going back again… and again!

Rick's place is an absolute gem! We recently visited and had the most amazing night! The food was exceptional with delicious options that cater for lots of different dietary requirements. We needed gluten, dairy and onion free, and had the first dining experience where this was "too easy" and we felt like the inclusion and not exclusion. Rick and Andy are warm, friendly, attentive and genuinely thoughtful, making us all feel so welcome. They take so much pride in providing a fantastic dining experience for all. Couldn't recommend Rick's Place enough! Looking forward to our next visit!

I visited Bodega Underground last year and had an alright experience, however it feels like they’ve really stepped things up since then. Every dish was excellent, flavourful and hot, and staff were very friendly. The kitchen was very efficient and food came out quite quickly. I’d recommend the fish tacos and birria tacos as the must-try. The menu is also 100% gluten free! Don’t forget to book ahead as it can get very busy and they mightn’t have any walk ins available.

Christine Roder

The food was so delicious. I love going somewhere where I don’t even have to worry about gluten. Great atmosphere. The drag show is an absolute blast.

Lisa D

Love this place!! Food exceptional!! Many vegan options and all gluten free. Food was amazing, thank you!!!

Ross Langford

We really enjoyed our dinner. My wife is a coeliac and it is 100% gluten free. The staff were very friendly and helpful. A very nice evening.

Hannah Ruth

Always a great experience. The Kewdale Tavern serves up delicious meals that will fill your belly. They have a great variety of dishes to choose from and the portion sizing is on the larger side. I first started coming here because I used to have Celiac, and this restaurant has such a large number of gluten free dishes / options. It’s also a really nice venue. Good for catch-ups, celebrations, a meal with colleagues, or just wanting something yummy for lunch! I always dine in the restaurant areas, but they also have a sports bar style area where you can watch live sports and sit at high-seated chairs and tables by the bar. Highly recommended 👍🏽

All gluten free food with lots of vegan options

Taylor Leigh-Jones

100% gluten free menu, didn’t get sick after as a sensitive coeliac. Came here on a double date and got the $69 per person feed me. There was SO much food, we have an appetite and came hungry and we could not finish it all, which was a shame as it was incredible. We have been coming here for years but truly every time we come back it somehow gets better. The staff are awesome & accomodating and really helpful, they made me a super zingy spicy margarita which was great too.

Serin

We loved it. A perfect spot pre show to enjoy the city sights and wander up queen street and over the river to the Lyric. Gluten free & vegetarian options were fabulous & menu isn’t overwhelming! Great for share plates. Will be back!

Alan Butler

It's been forever since I received a small (very generous) bowl of crispy sweet potato fries. There's an incredible range of burgers to cover every conceivable desire and if they don't have it you can make your own. The gluten free menu is amazing. The presence of a vegan lentil patty excellent, and it tasted good too. The vibe was great, even at a midweek lunch, the service friendly and fantastic. Craft beers were great. Really theres not a lot of negatives. Maybe a bit more seasoning in the burger patty and on the fries but it was nearly there. I'd go back and work out just what was going to be my new favourite burger, and have more of those crispy crunchy sweet potato fries.

Emma Abbott

Food was awesome. Drinks were good. I have food allergies and appreciated being able to talk to the chef and get some help. There are alot of options for gluten, egg and dairy free. My only point of improvement would be the menu system. I feel like the hard copy menus need to come back… I felt it took the fine dining and customer service out of the experience to order from my phone and I would love to see that change as this place has been around for a long time and it’s always felt like a special place to come dine at. I also felt the music was also a touch too loud to hold a conversation (but that could just be me). Other than that we had a great meal.

Gluten free dumplings are delicious and generous sized. I (coeliac) enjoyed the Jade Prawn dumplings (hargow) and they were flavourful with big chunks of prawn. Also had the prawn and chive dumpling (also excellent) and the peking duck ‘pancakes’ which came wrapped in rice paper. Highly recommend this place.

Amanda Miller

Great food. Good service. Caters for coeliac, GF, vegan. The staff and chefs were happy to make the curry milder with extra chilli on the side. Will definitely be going back.

Bazza Schweigs

My partner and I recently visited the establishment for a romantic dinner. The cocktails and entrées were absolutely delicious, and the staff were warm, welcoming and very attentive . We don’t usually leave reviews, but we felt it was important to share some feedback in the hope that it leads to improvement. Unfortunately, our main meals really let the evening down. My partner ordered the $28 smash burger, which arrived cold with a patty that was burnt, dry, and completely lacking flavour — aside from the overpowering charred taste. The chips were also cold and unsalted. Sadly, it was the worst burger either of us has ever had, and we weren’t able to finish the meal. We understand gluten-free meals often come at a premium, but the quality didn’t reflect the price point. We also waited over 45 minutes for our food, despite the venue only having a few tables seated at the time. My schnitzel was underwhelming — a very small portion, less than a quarter of a chicken breast, served cold and completely unseasoned. We were really hoping for a memorable dinner, and the evening had such a promising start. We’re sharing this feedback in the hope that it’s taken constructively and that the consistency and quality of the main dishes is reviewed.

Kerry Stanley-Hunt

Wow just wow, love it. I'm coeliac and there is food and understanding. The food is great and very filling. Service is fantastic even when it's busy they always deliver.

Samantha Jones

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Staff were very attentive.

Sandy Robinson

I can't get over the gluten free options available! Found out one of the owners is a coeliac and that they have a dedicated fryer for gf food. Thank you we will be back.

Betsie

Food so good, you don’t take pictures. We booked Yulli’s as a get together with friends. One friend is a vegan celiac. We ordered the banquet. We can never do that as we are always worried about food allergies. The food was delicious and filling. I am not vegan. Just enjoy a good meal. Service was fantastic. They accommodated our late arrival and let us stay longer. They rushed us out but were within their right but were so graceful about it. I booked via a booking app. I added to the booking it was a birthday. Without prompted they brought out a candle on dessert. This small token and what can be seen as a minor detail was well received and a testament to the beautiful atmosphere they have created. If you made it this far. The TL:DR is this place is a must go and I will return.

Madeline Fernando

Amazing food and plenty of vegan and gluten free options. The service was also a highlight 🤩

Katie C

Perfect place for coeliacs! And those on a gluten and wheat free diet We had a few different dishes to try and share. Each dish tasted delicious! The dishes that we tried were - Chicken Betel Leaf Wrap, Khao Soi Chicken Salad, Master Stock Braised Chicken and Wok-Fried Asian Greens.

Dr Natasha Reedy

Peter and I are regulars for casual drinks and dining. We love the cosy and friendly atmosphere in the Tapestry bar and restaurant, plus the great choice of delicious gluten free menu. Service is great each time. We would like to make special mention of Katie’s lovely service in the Tapestry bar followed up by Latai’ exceptional service in the restaurant. Thank you so much girls for making our time there so enjoyable and welcoming. xx

Tegan Avery

Had breakfast here with my family.. I have coeliac disease.. it was delicious!!! Would definitely return back when we are in the area! Highly recommend!! A beautiful atmosphere aswell! 👌

Talea Foley

Amazing dinner date had here! Wide variety of options, great quality food and flavours. Very knowledgeable with coeliacs, gluten free and cross contamination. Ate there with no worries due to the zero risk of cross contamination in their fryers and kitchen.

Kieran Welch

Incredible pub. Can’t recommend enough. Amazing food, great selection of drinks, amazing service, great vibe. Even do coeliac friendly meals AND beers! A jewel in west/north Melbourne’s crown.

Nicky T

Great gluten free options. Knowledgeable staff. Lovely, well priced meals. Good place for groups of all ages. Live music was excellent.

Isabelle Costello

A perfect dining experience. We were greeted with the most warm, friendly service. The staff have an excellent understanding of coeliac disease including a seperate menu and special considerations made to ensure no cross contamination. The dining area is beautiful and the food is DELICIOUS. Would 100% come back xx

Amelia Cyc

We loved our time here! So many gluten free options. Our waitress Ashley was very accomodating and even went out of her way to seat us in the best ocean view spot! Food came out quick and was super delicious.

Jo Munro

I popped in tonite and ordered the brisket, but I'm gluten and dairy free, the staff were fantastic it turns out for once dairy was a bigger issue than gluten (all options marked and a seperate fryer) but they swapped it over for steak. Which was safe and delicious. Thanks so much

Fabiana

Great food! They offer lots of gluten and dairy free options.

Celine Turner

Naim is a middle eastern cafe located in a bustling area of Paddington. It has many vegan options. They provide a few menu options that can be gluten free - they came up on GF Brisbane on Instagram. I wasn't sure if they were coeliac safe but I don't think I reacted to the food. I just wish communication was better. I sat inside and ordered a chai on almond milk (~$5.50) and the falafel wrap GF. I asked what was the halloumi alternative and the waiter went to check for me. While she was away, another staff came to check if I needed to order, which was nice but I explained that I was already being attended to. I ordered the wrap and asked for it to be GF for a coeliac. The girl didn't read the order back to me. When I received it, it wasn't read out/described back to me so I felt anxious about eating it. I had the food with additional Zhug and it was quite spicy but delicious. The wrap did kind of fall apart all through the paper, I kinda wish it had been packaged a bit differently, there was sauce everywhere and they kinda skimped on the falafel frankly. My first few bites from the centre were just sauce and bread. Together including the coffee, it was about $30ish. I enjoyed the food but I probably just would appreciate more communication about the order and safety. If something is toasted, is it toasted whilst wrapped? Or nah?

Monica Bortolotti

Food and service was fantastic Great selection of gluten free food and great portion sizes Even had gluten free beer Standout for the area

A Mac

Absolutely delicious food. An incredible variety of options on the menu. knowledgeable staff and great service with a smile. Highly recommended. we had lamb shank and chicken

Sophie Broughton

Love the gluten free pizzas here! Great value and taste :)

Joseph Beet

Beautiful location across from the river, and great variety of food options available. Separate kitchens for vegan and gluten-free options. Only issue with sitting in the open outdoor area was the seagulls. Lovely experience and worth the drive down to Mandurah.

Molly Burmeister

I had the best gluten free pizza I have ever had in my life at Pizzateca. The base was extraordinary and so well made and cooked to perfection. I had the best prosciutto ever it was so fresh and delicious and the most amazing flavour. We also had the most incredible customer service and were so well looked after by the staff. Overall I cannot recommend Pizzateca enough it was the best!

Adriana Pannuzzo

This place was hands down amazing! Everything we ate was phenomenal. Coeliac heaven and just amazing. Everything inside the shop was so unique and well designed. Please come and open a shop in Melbourne- we would love you!

Mia

best sunset I've seen here and all of stuff are so nice and friendly. so much variety of vegan/gluten free option. will be back definitely!

Sammy Hood

Fantastic service, delicious food, fast food delivery. Loved the gluten free naan! Would 100% recommend!

Peyton Nash

Went here last night for an early dinner. They had plenty of gluten free options as well. Great service, very friendly and fast. Would come again

Natasha Heilan

Before I talk about the (absolutely amazing and incredible) food, I want to talk about the service. Kindness is so very rare these days. But you’ll find it in abundance here. Staff and the owner are so accommodating for those of us with disabilities. The first time I came with my support worker, staff happily turned the music down for me, as I was getting very overstimulated. I’ve also ordered through uber eats multiple times. However, today the app did not put my order through as gluten free (possible glitch). Jackson and the owner went well and truly out of their way to rectify this, and get the right order to me. To say I’m grateful isn’t enough. There are no words strong enough to convey how full my heart is, because no other restaurant would go as far as these beautiful souls did. As I am unable to cook for myself right now, the fact they looked after me like this, when it wasn’t even their mistake in the first place, is proof that there are people in Melbourne that truly are the soul and the beating heart of this city. The food itself is beyond delicious. Finding gluten free fried chicken is hard….finding gluten free poutine is even harder! And the grilled zucchini is so delicious, I had to fight my support worker over it haha. The mash and gravy is so comforting with the chicken, it’s real soul food. Thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Nathan McMahon

Great selection of gluten free meals and they taste fantastic as well!

Peter Papalia

Perfection. So refreshing to be able to select A gluten free option for everything offered on the menu

Incredible service, efficient, food was delicious. My sister is a celiac and they adapted perfectly to this, with natural options for it. Our waitress, Ines was very nice and seemed to predict all our needs. 10/10

Ella de Cruz

Gluten-free available. They also checked if coeliac 👍🏽 perfect burger and best chips

Tayla Whitcher

The best food and service! We had an amazing waiter, Mac who gave great recommendations and was very friendly. The gluten free options are extensive, with almost the entire menu being coeliac safe. Would definitely recommend!

Marley Matters

We had a great experience dining here. The food is delicious, excellent service with friendly staff and they were very accommodating and knowledgeable about coeliac disease. Definitely recommend!

Clay Antonio

Finding somewhere to eat as a coeliac, is always a very difficult task. WOW, not only did we feel truly welcomed by the fabulous manager, he also pulled up a seat and sat with us to ensure we would have a great dining experience. The coeliac meal was prepared with the utmost care and the food was wonderful. We will definitely be back!
