Top 11 Gluten-Free Bars to Unwind in Southbank

Laura Martin

Bottomless brunch experience served by Laura. Understand coeliac requirements and brought a wonderful experience. Would highly recommend for an outing on Southbank.

The food here is underwhelming and overpriced for what you get. For those who are Coeliac, most the gluten free options are not safe as they're done on shared equipment.

Love this place. They offer coeliac options but wish they would mention this on the menu. Gluten free club sandwich was excellent in quality and quantity. The cherry individual dessert cake from the cabinet was decadent and very delish but crazy priced at $16.50! One star off for the tiny cocktail glasses altho the cocktails themselves were yummy.

Had a wonderful night with my cousin. Great food, lovely people who look after you and they cater for Coeliac. Highly recommended.

Let me tell you… As always Sundays we love to eat out with our lovely grandchildren, the boys love pizza, we tried different restaurants in Southbank searching for gluten free meals, luckily for me we came to this bistro where they cater for coeliacs, the Margherita pizza was quite bland, however the chorizo pizza was delicious. We also had a cocktail and some great snacks. Thank you for the delicious food!!

Had a great experience this afternoon at Yarra Botanica! My Mum, brother and I all have a lot of dietary requirements and they were super accommodating with gluten friendly, dairy free / vegan options. Staff were all super lovely and the atmosphere was great. Will definitely be back!

A 6-Star Dining Experience at Rockpool Melbourne During my recent visit to Melbourne, I finally had the pleasure of enjoying a business dinner at Rockpool, and what a delightful experience it was! In an era when the term "5-star service" has become diluted across many establishments globally, I can confidently say that Rockpool provided **6-star service**. Myself and two colleagues arrived as walk-ins over the New Year period and were first directed to the beautiful bar lounge to wait for our table. From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional. We were treated with the kind of care and attention that I expect from top-tier dining establishments. Throughout the evening, we sampled a range of wines, cocktails, and dishes, with special dietary needs being perfectly accommodated. One of us follows a vegan diet, another is gluten-free (celiac), and I, well, am a “normal” eater! Every dish was prepared to perfection, and all staff were well-informed about who we were, what we were eating, and drinking. It felt as though they anticipated our needs before we even voiced them—a level of attention to detail that is rare to find. The food itself completely exceeded my expectations. Every course was a revelation, and the experience has now set a new benchmark for me. It’s hard to imagine any other meal surpassing this one. A huge round of applause to both the kitchen staff and the front-of-house team for such a flawless execution. We were so impressed that we returned later in the week for a second visit, and once again, the service and food were impeccable from start to finish. To the management and staff at Rockpool: your passion and commitment to your craft are clearly evident. It's not often you come across a team that has such a genuine long-term investment in delivering excellence. Was it expensive? That depends on what you’re accustomed to. For me, the experience was worth every dollar. Our first visit was approximately **$1450**, and our second visit came to around **$750**. While it may seem expensive to some, if you’re someone who appreciates the finer things in life, the value is undeniable. Thank You.

Fabulous staff and amazing food well worth the price paid. And it was my birthday so go a candle and special dish as I'm gluten free

Spice Temple is a culinary gem that elevates Chinese cuisine to new heights. With its serene ambiance, it’s the perfect setting for a special occasion. The menu showcases innovative and flavorful dishes that redefine traditional Chinese flavors. Gluten-free options abound, making it accessible to all diners. For a standout protein, I highly recommend the tender and succulent lamb backstrap. If you’re seeking a truly exceptional dining experience, Spice Temple is a must-visit.

Had a really good coffee and hot chocolate at the Barre prior to a show at Hamer Hall. The hot chocolate was one of the best I have tasted and I have tasted a few! The coffee was excellent also. We received excellent service from the staff.. and we also had a Quick Look at the menu and it looked good.. lots of gluten free choices..
