Top 50 Gluten-Free Bars to Experience in Victoria

Maureen Fulmizi

As a coeliac, I loved that I could get a tasting tray of beer. The pizza was delixious too. Would highly rexommend this. My non-coeliac partner enjoyed both the beer and pizza

Caroline Connolly

Service was fab, and what an absolute delight to be able to choose anything from the menu knowing it was all safe for me to eat. As a coeliac that is an absolute rarity! Save space for the Chocolate Lava...mmmmm delish! Highly recommend. The owner (Rick) and Andy were so welcoming.

Argentina Cabrera

The best Mexican I have ever had!

Paul Neely

All gluten free, a favourite for family celebrations

Benji Greig

Fantastic food! Was so nice to have an entire menu Gluten free that we didn't need to think about it. So delicious. Lovely friendly staff. We'll definitely be there again.

Francesca B

Great atmosphere and interior design. Just came here for some lunch. The food was good but I don’t think it reflected the price paid. Did not try anything off the drinks menu though the drinks at other tables did look great. I really appreciated that the whole menu was gluten free and there were plenty of vegan options.

Evan W

Great variety of food. delicious flavours and well presented. All gluten free so easy for coeliacs and excellent range of drinks and cocktails. Buzzing vibe with a retro feel

Laura Orlando

Oh my god! We went here for dinner last night and the food was amazing! I’m severely intolerant to gluten and dairy and for the first time in years I was able to have a chicken Parma! Thank you so much XX

Jess Smith

I was at RPS in Hardware Lane yesterday for lunch - with a group of five. The food was sensational. We chose banquet 6. The portions were very generous and incredibly delicious. One of our diners was gluten free and another vegetarian. Their needs were catered for without them having to miss out on anything. There are many options available to select your own choices to make up a banquet. Service was spot on! I was spoilt by the restaurant as it was my birthday. They surprised me with a snapper cracker (you must try it) for a starter and a passionfruit bavarios for dessert. If you want to treat your taste buds and enjoy great service, this is the restaurant for you.

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.

Sophie Broughton

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

Summer Preitz

Amazing food, great price for dietary like gluten free. Friendly and light atmosphere

Christine Bassett

Excellent GF menu . Staff have a very good understanding of coeliac needs. Service was outstanding -staff very friendly and informative. Seniors menu offered.

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

Daniel Scanlon

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.

Food was awesome, prices were reasonable. A must for a coeliac or someone with allergies.

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!

Astrid Harding

We had an excellent time at the Apollo Bay Hotel. Me and 3 friends arrived late into Apollo bay and wanted a decent feed. We came about 30 minutes until the kitchen closed and were met with such welcoming and accomodating customer service. I’m devastated I didn’t get her name, but the groovy woman in the black denim shorts was a gem. She ensured my celiac bestie had nothing to worry about. She offered gf replacements for non-gf elements of the meals. The serving sizes were very generous and delicious. We ate like 50 muscles. It was so good we forgot about our wine ! We will definitely be back, hopefully to see our lovely waitress.

Lexi Preston

Nice food, I am celiac and they catered perfectly. Had cocktails which were great. Went for dinner on my birthday with my partner on a Sunday night. Very busy place, can be really loud. Staff were super friendly.

Jamesdownunder

Great place with lots of coeliac friendly options. Good vibe, chill music, and a nice staff team. The owner is a legend and I come here pretty often. Parking can be a bit of a mission depending on what time and day you hit the place up, normally you'll have to park at the end of the street but the walk there is nice.

Jo Nat

We had an early lunch at 12 all gluten free and very delicious. Service is excellent.

Zoe Marshall

Full disclosure I was never vegie bar’s hugest fan as the food for me has always been largely average in quality so even as a vegan I haven’t eaten here for years. However when it was one of my friends turn to choose a restaurant for the three of us he chose this one (he has a proven track record for not choosing well). I was determined to give it another shot and, I’ll give them their dues, the staff were overall quite friendly and the restaurant does have a pretty interior. The gnocchi was pretty decent and was even gluten free, one of my friends got one of the pizzas which he said was good however, the other got the laksa which she reviewed as largely lacking flavour and fairly one note. The mulled wine was sickly sweet (I am a massive fan of mulled wine and this was the most shocking imitation I have ever tasted though to be fair they did list sugar as an ingredient I just hadn’t realised how much prominence they’d give that ingredient). When it came time for dessert my friend was informed that they didn’t have the citrus tart so decided upon the special which was apple pie with ice cream, my other friend got a sundae, I asked the waitress what she would order between tiramisu and carrot cake, we landed on carrot cake. A few minutes later, she came back to the table to inform us they were out of both the carrot cake and tiramisu so I also opted for the apple pie. This is where the night really went south. Whilst my friend with the sundae enjoyed it, the apple pie was a textural nightmare for my other friend and myself. The pie casing (because I refuse to call it a crust) had the texture of kinetic sand and seemed determined to coat the entire mouth like glue when eating. It was very sweet but lacked much flavour apart from a hint of cinnamon which was buried beneath mounds of sugar. The friend that introduced us to this grim experience thought we must have been being dramatic - which to be fair “this is the worst thing I’ve had in my mouth this week”, whilst true was dramatic -tried the pie and immediately agreed that it was in the top 50 worst foods he had eaten in his life. I have no idea how this became a special, perhaps the chefs were trying for something, failed and then the owner still put it on the menu as they didn’t see any sense in throwing it in the bin and writing off the cost of the experiment gone wrong, if this is the case next time I beg you to just write off the cost! It’s fitting that this dinner was in the month of Halloween as the experience was truly haunting!

Brooke Thompson

Absolutely love it here! Staff are always super friendly and down to earth. Atmosphere is warm and cosy. Having a pub feed as a coeliac can be incredibly challenging but these guys make it so easy with their super inclusive menu and kitchen. Food is great and so is the drinks selection!

Annette O'Dell

Best gluten free Pizza I’ve had maybe ever. So so yummy. Great vibes and great service, cannot recommend enough!

Norris Crew Windscreens

Have had quite a few gluten free burgers in my life time but the burger I had tonight was hands down the best GF burger I’ve ever had in my life!!!!

Louise While

I wanted to order a takeaway through uber for my partners birthday. We have previously eaten here before and get a gluten free base pizza. I called to ask if that was ok if I could order through the app and request if they did a gluten free base. The guy on the phone said they don’t do gluten free bases there. I responded that I’ve had them before here and he said well you can write it in the notes. I said well I’m not going to pay for pizzas if they are not going to be gluten free bases so I said will they be gluten free base and he responded no. Terrible, terrible service and did not make me feel welcome at all. Not accommodating and quite frankly rude.

Joy Gershman

We had dinner here recently and ordered the gluten free lamb shoulder to share. It was so soft and delicious and could have easily fed 3. The gravy and potatoes complimented it well. The view was beautiful and it was lovely to see lots of home grown herbs outside plus lavender and berries.

Pauline Laing

A relaxing city pub with a great lunch menu for city workers. There’s plenty of gluten free stuff too. I had the Mexican poke bowl - that’s a cultural mixed metaphor, but a tasty lunch.

Janet Mortimer

The dining room is the perfect place to have a small family gathering and to chat without having to shout over other diners. Staff were great and interacted well with everyone. gluten free alternatives to a couple of items on the set menu were delicious. Well done Sebastian

Aysha Egglestone

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!

Em

Really lovely Indonesian restaurant. The staff here are so friendly, they were very patient and accommodating to all customers. The staff were knowledgeable about coeliac disease, so I felt safe eating here. Plenty of gluten free options! The food was delicious! Clean and a good atmosphere. Recommend!

Daryl Myers

What a beautiful place to eat. We were recommended this place as we were holidaying with our dogs at Best Friends Pet Retreat. The Commercial has a covered pet friendly dining area out the back. The staff were amazing and thoughtful. As soon as you walked in, you were greeted with a smile and great attitude. This was all before you got your food. The food was beautiful. We ordered from the lunch menu and the range was very good as was the pricing. We were concerned that there would not be many gluten free options for a coeliac but we need not have worried. Almost everything on the lunch menu had a gluten free option. They list it as gluten friendly but they take great care not to cross contaminate. If you are anywhere near Yarram then you can't go past the Commercial as a place to have a great meal.

Hannah Frank

Incredible service, beautiful GF bread, gnocchi.

Mj Evens

With out doubt, the best, crunchiest gluten free batter I have ever tasted. Friendly staff/owner. Great little fish bar eat in or take away. I highly recommend this place.

Solomon Dent

Great food and service. Great gluten free options.

Bec Miller

Absolutely loved this place. The food was delicious and the meal size was huge. Went with my son for a treat late on a Thursday night. The atmosphere is fantastic and the decor is perfect. Definitely bringing my coeliac daughter here as I’ve heard great things about their allergy awareness. Will be nice to go out again since diagnosis and feel comfortable about her eating out.

Amie Lou

Wonderful, soothing lighting and not too many tables squashed together. Not too loud either, you can hear your conversation. Our server was so attentive and nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious and the drinks cold. They do take away meals too so we got our dessert to take home as we were full but the food was so good we didn’t want to miss out on something tomorrow. I love that nearly everything is gluten free. Highly recommend the gnocchi and the venue.

Erin Batman

I've ordered take-away pizza twice and both were sensational. Even better, we've only ordered the gluten free base and both my partner and my cousin commented they couldn't believe it was GF and how good it was. Particularly love the Roma pizza but will make my way through the whole menu! We definitely need to dine-in soon.

Elias Sanchez

Absolutely blown away! For what started as an impulse visit ended in black sheep becoming one of the best eating experiences I've ever had. Menu is well rounded with plenty of gluten free and vegan options,service is absolutely lovely,huge shoutout to Rose for lovely table service and suggestions,hats off to everyone involved

Anthony

Campground Kitchen & Bar is a wonderful restaurant that has great service, delicious food and a great atmosphere. I had the gluten free meatballs and a gluten free mushroom pizza that were super tasty! Great to see more accredited gluten free restaurants.

Gary Chapman

We arrived as first time visitors to Australia and 20mins before closing!! We asked if it was too late to order as we had just got off airplane and were starving they said no problem. We both had two drinks and I had an unbelievable pizza, my wife had gluten free pasta as she is gluten intolerant and had lots options, she said it was amazing. The background music was brilliant 70’s and 80’s rock and pop. We were not rushed at all, staff were very friendly and chatty. We will return to enjoy another evening there before leaving. They

Charllotte Hughes (Spider)

Ian Johnston

Without a doubt, the best gluten free pizza.

James Corney

Great coeliac menu highly recommended

Kristen Boschma

I ordered the picnic box for 4 people. It arrived exactly on time and was loaded straight into my car. It was such a delight to open the box! Everything was well packaged and we had everything we needed. It was soooo delicious! One of my picnic guests is coeliac and she was happily catered for. I’ll happily order this again - such a relaxing and delicious way to cater for a picnic. Thanks Vaporetto.

Matthew Ralph

They have a separate cabinet of gluten free options including a ham and cheese croissant, breakfast burger and some sweet stuff too. Bit pricey but decent.

Eloise Bernstein

The menu here is amazing, with a wide range of gluten-free options. I tried the Latke Florentine and it was absolutely delicious! The atmosphere is great and the staff are really friendly.

Ragu Mantatikar
