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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Dinner for 2 on a Tuesday night which was packed with people, luckily we made a booking. We got the signature set for $190 per person, which I felt was plenty of food. Everything we had was delicious and cooked to perfection, especially the citrus butter scallops, glazed fish collar, wagyu shish and slow roasted lamb shoulder. They tried to accomodate my gluten intolerance by swapping for gf bread, gf breadcrumbs and gf chocolate mousse which was great! Atmosphere was classy and dark however was noisy due to being cramped with people. Service was amazing with waiters explaining each dish however again it was too noisy to hear them. It is on the pricier side, we spent almost $500 including drinks for 2 of us, so not a place I’d come to often. But it was nice for a birthday celebration.

Dine in- the restaurant is fun. Staff are really friendly, killer menu. We managed to get out of there without ordering dessert but I still have that bucket thing on my mind. I had the chicken burger. Sauce and cheese were super tasty. And the chicken was high qual. My partner had the GF burger and the bun was decent (for being gluten free).

Phil Nicholson

Excellent spot especially for food allergies. Wife and I had an great 3 course meal that cater for low fodmap and celiac diets. The staff were super friendly and knowledgeable about our requirements and there recommendations of baked brie and the risotto were spot on! The low fodmap wagyu burger was one of the best I have eaten. This meal was the highlight of our stay in the city. Will definitely be back and will bring more people :-)

Elizabeth Abrahams

Omg best smashed avo and eggs on gluten free toast I’ve had in melbourne - my partner’s steak sandwich was also amazing. The coffee is delicious and the service prompt, polite and efficient - we loved again store thanks for a great dining experience

Lovely view and delicious food, the gluten free pizzas was really really good never had gluten free pizza like it! Seemed exactly like normal pizza. tacos were really nice and food was all good sizes

Aria McCallum

The best!! Spicy vodka pasta was on point 🫶 Went here for a dinner to celebrate my birthday. The cocktails were so yummy, particularly the strawberry, pear and lemon sorbet cocktails! Atmosphere was cozy and waiters were super attentive. Drinks and food came out quickly and we had a feast😋 My friends favourites were the gnocchi and the vodka pasta. They also have some very good gluten free options (I had to double check they were gluten free because they were so convincing😭) Bookings are for two hours only but we were lucky and got the table for four hours. Had such a great time - would recommend for family, friends, birthdays and definitely functions!!

Day Manalastas

We ordered the Carlos set menu for $99 per person for a belated birthday celebration/catchup with a friend. Best things about Palermo: - the chorizo! - our server, Natalie! She was friendly and super accommodating of my annoying dietary restrictions. She swapped the morcilla for the chorizo, and looked for gluten-free and dairy-free options for me. Thanks again, Natalie! :) Not-so-good: -steak: sadly, it was chewy and tough in some parts :( Looking forward to this one, too. -ensalada: it felt like it was sitting out for too long on the counter that the dressing started to congeal almost

Siobhan Blake

Excellent food and good service. I asked for Coeliac safe (gluten free), vegetarian, not oily or too spicy, and it's exactly what I received. Totally recommend. I will be back.

Mark Terei

Best hotel restaurant I have been to in memory. The staff are genuine and caring and the food is exactly what you hope for: served hot and clearly fresh ingredients with good flavour. I had a few meals here including dinner and breakfast and had to ask a couple of questions about my dietary requirements (gluten-free). The staff were authentic in checking with the kitchen for me and the kitchen made some very thoughtful changes to the dishes in response. Indian fried chicken and seasonal vegetables were hot and delicious. I don’t write a lot of reviews but I had a great experience here.

Georgia Riccioni

Sbriga cafe is my go to when at the office. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The food is fresh and delicious and they are very accommodating to vegetarians and Gluten free. The chai- tea latte is one of the best I have ever had!

Ariana Stephens

If I could go above 5 stars I would, especially for service! Last night my colleagues and I went to Sud whilst visiting Melbourne from Auckland. It came highly recommended and it did not disappoint!! The food was delicious, the cocktails were yum and the Italian wine recommendation from Vincenzo was perfect. We had a fabulous wholesome evening with great laughs, great food and GREAT service. Vincenzo has created an amazing experience at Sud and we were also looked after by Darren who was also fabulous. We had 3 dietary requirements, one gluten free and myself vegan. They happily catered for us and as Darren said, nobody misses out at Sud. Thank you very much!
