Great place to get a burger for a coeliac, though only if you go on a day the buns are fresh! I went twice, and the first time my gf bun was really nice, but the second time it completely broke apart within the first two bites, making it too hard to eat without a knife and fork. These are things we deal with as gluten free people anyway, so it wasn’t surprising, but a little disappointing after such a good bun the time before. Otherwise the burgers were great, the chicken nuggets were really nicely cooked, and the chips were yum too!

One of the best meals of our trip. Octopus starter followed by Blue Warehou (fish special)/lamb (all superbly cooked) and orange cake. Coeliac friendly with excellent cocktails and a great selection of wines. What’s not to like? 10/10

As a gluten free person Lucianos is a dream with heaps of cabinet and menu items catering to those with a gf diet. Coffee was fantastic. I can see why it’s so busy all the time. Parking was a tad difficult and I could see that people couldn’t find seats hence just 4 stars for atmosphere

Had a catering order of the wraps. These were so good and when I rang to confirm that two of the wraps would be gluten free they said had made them and wrapped them individually so as not to touch the other wraps. Couldn’t have asked for better service or food. Highly recommend.

This was sheer delight to enter these beautiful premises so clean and shiny…. Oh and the service I couldn’t fault it. And adding to this my order was for a gluten free wrap. The response and knowledge for putting together gluten free protein veges salads sauces condiments etc was no less than perfectly executed This was Monday the 14th in the evening where the two staff members on duty made my experience so easy for me in this allergy situation which I’d so often not the case They were right into knowing what was gluten free every step of the way My mood was definitely lifted that day

Absolutely delicious. I had a veggie sandwich with gluten free bread, and even though I usually don’t like goat cheese, I loved it in this case. All the flavours were well balanced and the sandwich was so juicy - will definitely go there again! My boyfriend had the chicken sandwich, and he was in love with it! Also, a special shoutout to the staff, who were very friendly and helpful, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked into the place until the moment we left!
