Top 36 Gluten-Free Bars to Experience in Sydney

Karen Pullar

The absolute best. We had breakfast here two days in a row and the service and food was impeccable. Also had gluten free options for our coeliac daughter. 👌👌

An otherwise nice experience ruined by one very rude staff member. The food was alright, nothing we’d rave about. A few points on the lower rating: - We had initially booked for 22-23 people and had 3 extra show up last minute that were missed in our final headcount, we understand this could be inconvenient but we did have the space on the table allocated to fit them. Unfortunately, the waitress was quite snappy when she asked “Is there more people coming?! There’s no more space nor extra tables for anyone” before storming off. This was an initial experience that made us feel awkward. We understand the inconvenience but we also accept that if the extra attendees could no fit a reasonable solution would’ve been to explain that we only booked for 23 and that they should leave. - The behaviour continued on from here: my colleague let her know she was the one who had ordered the gluten free taco and she snapped back at her in such a way that a quarter of the table pulled faces in shock. - When we asked them for the cake. It was brought out unprepared in a box. Perhaps an over sight if they were busy but really unusual. But as it was this waitress that brought it out in a box and another server who offered to then take it back and serve it on a plate one can never be too sure. - The music was loud. Like, SUPER loud. Which makes it understandable when the staff speak louder. But the waitress in question was super loud and at times to the point of yelling when snapping at us and pulling faces like she was very unhappy to be there or serving us. The other two servers were very lovely. So we’ve bumped the star rating up for them. - Lastly, we also had issues when we were asked to leave. We were well aware we had a timed booking and honestly they did well to stick to time, it didn’t feel like we were being asked to leave too quickly after we finished eating but again the rude waitress was very short with us whereas the other waitress was more apologetic and said times up just letting you know you need to leave. - Overall it was a profound experience. Sadly the food wasn’t redeeming enough to make it enjoyable. Some suggestions if I may: If your staff are having a bad time, assign them to a different table. Everyone’s going to be happier in the long run. Turn the music down slightly. Music definitely brings vibes but if you’re all yelling at each other or having to ask people to repeat things enough times until you default to smiling and nodding - it’s definitely too loud. If people have timed bookings, it is completely reasonable to say something like “just letting you all know you have 15 minutes left on your booking, we are a bit busy tonight so we’d really appreciate that you leave on time so we can prepare for the rest of our night” and to give timed reminders after that point. Again if people aren’t moving at that time (happens so often with larger groups, trust me we know it) just again be firm but not rude with “sorry times up! We hope you had a good night but we will need to start preparing the table for our next guests” To the waitress directly: It’s best not to assume everyone is stupid and against you on a bad day. Some of us have also done our hard yards is hospitality too and know how it gets serving large tables. You’ll find that most people are sympathetic if you’re feeling a bit off but you’re in a customer facing role, please learn to take breaks if you need them.

This restaurant has a gluten-free menu. The staff manager, Demitri, was a friendly person who greeted me in Japanese. They also have a happy hour in the early hours.

Johnette Mannato

A little pricey but good food and great gluten free options.

Gintare Rapseviciute

Naim made our day! Good service, food and atmosphere. Probably mostly visited spot near Opera which is a good place to chill in the afternoon. Even during the hot sun hours customer service welcomes you within a smile. (There’s gluten free options for pizzas)

Dined at Ho Jiak town hall several times, including a few lunches. And in my opinion is the best of the Ho Jiak group (although the oyster clay pot rice in Chatswood was delicious. This Friday, it was my last stop before heading home from a very long Friday lunch. The family requested Ho Jiak for dinner and I obliged with some take away. The service is always friendly with a good sense of humor. The food is fast and incredibly tasty. My regular dishes are XO puppies with crispy vermicelli noodles, barramundi with ginger and shallots or chilli sauce and the vegemite short rib- phenomenal. Some of these dishes are gluten free, which is essential for my family. If you are looking for something different. Something you cannot replicate at home and will have you craving weeks later, go to Ho Jiak Town Hall. The service, cocktails, food will keep you coming back.

Katherine Quaife

Great food, especially for those who need to avoid gluten. The margaritas are 10/10 too!

Mar. Ko

I think my partner and I had incredible food here. The quality and flavors are great, they are very respectful of coeliacs and the cuisine is naturally mostly gluten-free. Amazing and very friendly service as well, and gorgeous views. Thank you. I think I would undeniably recommend.

Ljiljana Slavujevic

Disappointing given the $1,200 bill. Service was slow—we waited 45 minutes before being asked if we were ready for food, and drinks took 15 minutes to arrive. Despite paying for 10 people after a last-minute cancellation, the portions for 9 were lacking (e.g., minimal bread, small servings of chicken which was pink, and a shared dessert). A gluten-free guest, despite a month's notice, received almost no food but still paid full price. Additionally, beer prices weren’t listed, and staff could only give a vague price range ($12–$20), which is not in line with consumer pricing regulations - should be reported to ACCC Upon providing the above feedback, management used security footage to confirm the exact pieces of bread and chicken provided..... be so fr

Catherine Fenwick

Great food and great service, very allergy and coeliac aware. Our server Alma was fantastic

Michelle Tucker

I wouldn’t have bothered with a review, but they sent an email. It was terrible! Firstly I stood in line for booked patrons and a waitress barged past me twice, one time pushing my back without saying excuse me. Then I ordered wine and 20 mins later I had to chase it up. Then we ordered food and it all came out cold and at different times. I ordered gluten free gyozas (gf friends don’t bother) and was served soy sauce - vs tamari. People around me were chasing up orders, places to sit, drinks and food. Bearing in mind we order via an app. The app crashed several times, which made the whole thing frustrating. Thursday night, darling harbour, big show at the ICC - maybe try harder.

Eric Rubin

Warm people and great food. There were several family celebrations going on which made the experience more fun. And the butter chicken was the single best dish we’ve had at an Indian restaurant. Also, great gluten-free options.

Madeleine “Maddy” Easley

Had a great time here! Had amazing gluten free and vegetarian/vegan options. The staff was all super friendly and the ambiance was amazing! Just what we were looking for! Can not wait to come back since the park out front was the perfect spot to dine, drink and enjoy the city.

Brendan Roultey

A wonderful dinning experience as we were visiting. Sydney. Staff were wonderful and fully understood my coeliac disease and accommodated me. Delicious and grateful for the meal. 😃

Bec M

Pizza not safe for celiac despite the reviews on here as there is major cross contamination. Speak to staff as they are knowledgeable and were able to offer an alternative which was delicious !

Rachel A

Ordered the lamb salad and a pizza with chips to share. We asked for the chips to come out first but the lamb salad came out before they did. So we asked how long the pizza would be as one of us had our meal and the other didn’t - waiter said he’s asked them to start making it now…! Second visit here and I had the lamb salad last time which was beautiful and huge. This time, the salad was still lovely but was definitely almost half the size. Don’t know if we’ll be back. The gluten free Portuguese chicken pizza was very average.

We went here for our office's Christmas meal. The Christmas meal has some diversity, including vegan and gluten-free options. The service was also decent. Overall, will return to sample their regular menu.

Andrew Vella

Food was tasty, the staff were so friendly and the cocktails delicious. Our friend is Gluten Free and the options available are plentiful.

Seed Blossom Pod

What a great experience!! Very accommodating and looked after my wife’s celiac dietary requirements to a tee.

Karen Fielden

Great food (even gluten free options). Great staff. Terrific atmosphere.

Their $22 Express Lunch from on Monday-Friday 12-2pm is amazing value 🤑, as the it also includes a drink (either a glass of wine, a schooner of tap beer or soft drinks) 🤩! Henley’s used to be Beer Deluxe in the past, but it has been revamped now & the place looks so nice with a chillax vibe… perfect for lunch or dinner/drinks! Chicken Parmigiana was massive and yum 🤤! I had it with Young Henrys Newtoner Pale Ale (my fave beer - however there are plenty of beer options!) My friend had Togarashi Pumpkin Bowl, which was yum too 😘 Outdoor seatings available, QR code ordering for convenience & great for group dining. They’re also Kids friendly (kids menu available). Plenty of Vegetarian menu, with Vegan & Gluten Free menu are also available.

Lovely noisy close truly authentic Italian restaurant. Polite, friendly, knowledgeable, understandable servers. Beautifully presented generous food off a tempting varied menu. No Gluten Free pasta options as it is all hand made home made but there are plenty of other GF meals. We had a beautifully cooked Atlantic Salmon with steamed veggies and mushroom risotto. We left before dessert & coffee because it just got too boise and we couldn't hear ourselves think!! Well worth a visit!!

safiya haoushar

My mother and I had a lovely experience at Adria bar restaurant today!! Laura is a wonderful and attentive server who made sure we had everything we needed. There was multiple gluten free options and Laura let the chef know about dietary requirements so they could be more careful with cross contamination. The portions are well sized for the price of the meals and there is spray bottles situated on tables for any pesky seagulls 😆. Overall a very lovely experience!

Lidia Alejandra Romero

Let me tell you…. We are visiting Sydney!!!, following reviews I suggested to dine at Abode Bistro and we struck luck, the gluten free meals were incredible, grandchildren were spoiled by the staff, they were very nice , eager to help us with two very active boys. As I have mentioned above, the quality of the meals was excellent, plenty of gluten free options and the chef happy to make adjustments to the menu in order to satisfy coeliac people!! Thank you for a lovely night, I cannot forget the wonderful cocktails!!

Lottie King

Gluten free sandwich was really good! Nice to sit out on the arcade as well and listen to the buskers.

Jojo

Awesome ambiance, tasty food and even better service. Kid kyoto is designed with an eye for art and uses elements like décor, lighting, colors and seating to open a positive dining experience. The menu has a large variety of options from small to large sharing dishes and can cater to any dietary requirements. Everything we ate was full of flavour, decent portion sizes and all could be made Gluten Free. Food presented beautifully and out in a timely manner. Jimmy looked after us incredibly well! He used full menu terminology and it's clear he took the time to study the food and drinks menu. Thank you.

Tiffany

Quick service and good vibes. Surcharge on Sunday and card payment is the only downer but other than that food was great. Lots of vegan options. We liked that there were labels for gluten and dairy free. Most places don't care

Joyce Purvis

Adrian Thake

Exceptional food and service. Best of all they really understand gluten free.

Kimberly Williams

Last night in Sydney. We were looking for a low key restaurant. Saw the pizza being served to another table and decided to have dinner. Nice rooftop and the pizza was yummt! Had gluten free option that was tasty. Would recommend for a nice casual dinner.

Jennah Portillo

Gluten free options! Seafood platter- AMAZING!

Helene Bord

Came for an intimate celebration recently where each guest had a different dietary requirement (vegan, pescatarian & gluten free) and they were all catered for amazingly! The wine list was great too

Stefani Ciotti

Came here to try kangaroo for the first time - did not disappoint! Great views and grateful for the gluten free options as well.

Alina Stojcevski

I have been a few times to rockpool and it never fails to impress. I went with my partner who has coeliac disease and all the staff were super attentive to this and gave clear instructions on what can be made gluten free etc.. they checked multiple times with the chef to ensure is it was all safe. The grass fed steak is very very delicious, and I cannot fault any of the side dishes they all taste amazing! The avocado and tomato salad was full of flavour as well as the chorizo dish. Beautiful inside perfect for a date night due to the ambiance.

Rachel Curran

Delicious food, mouth watering steak and knowledgeable about gluten free.
