My pizza (Vesuvius) looked great but was extremely salty, most likely due to anjovis that had not been soaked. This pizza was also supposed to contain gorgonzola but I did not detect any, possibly because the anjovis taste might have overwhelmed the gorgonzola taste but I also did not notice any gorgonzola visually. My wife's gluten free pizza was much smaller, and there was not as much toppings as you would have expected for the price (especially considering that there was a $4 surcharge on the gluten-free base). All pizza prices seemed to be about $5 higher compared to other pizzerias of similar quality that we have recently visited. Service was very friendly but it took longer than expected to place our order - and get a drink while we were waiting for our meals. In fact my beer arrived after I had received my pizza.

Must-go restaurant in Ballarat. I’ve never had Ethiopian food but if all Ethiopian food is like this then I’m going to try a lot more! Had the selection for 2 people and was absolutely delicious. The beef and chicken stews and lentil dishes were highlights for us. Owner was a complete powerhouse - I think he was doing front of house and cooking. Everything other than the bread is gluten free, which was fantastic as a coeliac. Highly recommend!!!

Lovely.little cafe! Has gluten and dairy free products. Like supporting local businesses and it's great that they are all made by the cafe. I just wish that all these cafes would get dairy free Chai, I have only dropped one star due to the Chai otherwise the carfe was perfectly lovely!

I cannot tell you how delighted I was to discover a whole range of Gluten AND dairy free cakes! My options are almost always limited to a burnt coffee or a juice when I go out for a morning cuppa so it was so special to find somewhere comfy with a great vibe and food that I could eat! The Notella Mudcake is amazing! As is the house soda. We will go out of our way to come back that's for sure

One of the more underrated spots for a meal or snack, L'espresso is a nice, relaxing, spot in the middle of Ballarat. It has plenty of options available for eaters - vegetarian, gluten free - and the staff are very accommodating. The atmosphere is made even better by the music, which is set at a level that allows you to chat and not yell. I ate here frequently during my time in Ballarat and I will be returning whenever I visit the area.
