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.

TLDR: amazing service, quality food with good portions, well trained staff, able to accommodate many dietary requirements and accommodate different budgets. - - - - My most recent visit was my fourth time dining at Chin Chin, this time it was with work colleagues for a Christmas lunch. The food was delicious as per usual, and it is worth noting that despite the fact that the restaurant was absolutely packed and insanely busy, all of our dietary requirements were met without fail (lactose intolerance, gluten intolerance). In terms of cuisine you wont find anything “traditional” at Chin Chin, it is Asian fusion at its finest, but everything is well thought out, well balanced and also fun. The service was excellent with the staff explaining each dish, making sure our drinks were topped up, checking in with us in between courses and even taking the time to have a quick chat with our table. Additionally when I passed by the kitchen it was very clear that they had their communication locked down. Always a pleasure to dine here.

Coeliac Friendly

Jorge Menéndez García

I have been with a group of friends there twice, I am celiac and I have not had any problems eating, the girl who served us very kindly explained to us that everything was gluten-free. The food was delicious and in terms of quality and price it was great. I totally recommend this site.

Summer Preitz

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

Kresta Davis

Best gluten free burgers in Melbourne. Fresh, delicious and the service by Ruby was outstanding.

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

Prim Holland

Coeliac proof! 100% safe

Marcus Julius

Service - Great hospitality by Debra, super cordial and can tell she likes being around people. Felix is quite friendly as well. Food - Used Groupon vouchers but the food was plentiful and made 4x different variations on each meal and got all correct. They do extra crispy bacon and poached eggs as an option. The gluten free option (no extra charge!), girlfriend thought they were excellent and we thought they tasted even better than our normal pancakes 🥞 Atmosphere - very clean and organised

Bianca

Great variety of quality foods. Perfect place to take the family, child friendly. Amazing gluten free options.

Jacob H

Fantastic all round. We didn't have a booking but the staff made room for us. Amazing food, great service and good pricing. My partner is celioac and they brought her a specialised menu and made everything she wanted completely gluten free. They even used a separate fryer for the chicken. Can recommend the feed me option.

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.

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!

Abbie Melchior

I treated my sister who is gluten free to the Summer Sips high tea. We were very impressed with the attentive service that we experienced. The staff had excellent attention to detail, they made sure we had a wonderful afternoon. The cocktails were well balanced with the food selection. The biggest highlight was the GF selection, the savory pastry was delicious!

Jeanette St Clair

Handy place to eat if you’re heading to the Regent or Athaneum theatres. Great atmosphere. Emma looked after us beautifully. Plenty of gluten free options. Only one GF dessert but it was full of flavour.

Jennifer Brennan

Highly recommended as this restaurant is in a beautiful area, staff are friendly and efficient, food is delicious and atmosphere is chilled. We had the Sweet Potato poached eggs on gluten-free toast with avacado and red chillie scrambled eggs with coffee's. It was delicious, and coffee was amazing. We were lucky with our timing and got a table straight away. However, within 5 mins, there were huge queues for the restaurant. So it's advisable to book if you can. I would still strongly advise: it's worth the wait as we had a wonderful experience. Thank you so much to the staff and restaurant.

I am so glad I found this joint! A cool space with a good atmosphere and excellent customer service. If you’ve seen any of my food posts you’ll know I’m that person with a ridiculous food intolerance that is usually not considered. Here it was! They have a separate emu that lists the items open for vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, fructose free, onion free and garlic and onion free! What? So good! My bloke and I shared a few dishes when eating out for the first time in… for ever! Delicious cabbage and pork dumplings, legit fried rice, crispy pork belly and eye fillet steak - we had sauces on the side for him to enjoy and me to avoid and both thoroughly enjoyed a top notch, tasty meal along with a couple of crisp and light rice lagers. I bought some of the yummy smelling teas to go. A first class experience. Thanks!

Andrea Artés de Arcos

Very nice food!! Super friendly staff too :) we will be back. They offer gluten free options.

luke waller

Awesome place. Food was amazing especially for the lower price tags. Really good service and atmosphere even under the pump they delivered. Good options for gluten free too. No soggy toast which has been a problem at other places. Definitely recommend

Kate Paul

House made soda was amazing. I had pineapple and lime. The corn on the cob was very nice. Good spices. I had gluten free and vegan burrito. I've never been able to order that at a restaurant. It was fresh and tasty. It had mushrooms and spinach in it. Very interesting flavours. Only bad thing about the place is that you have to go up stairs to get to the restaurant, but that's not their fault. Very busy place. Loved it.

Christine Bell

Lovely food and friendly, helpful staff. They have lots of gluten free options. I had a chicken teriyaki bowl and it was really nice, fresh and tasty. Service was very fast. It's a clean, casual cafe in the CBD, highly recommend.

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 :-)

Mark Kentwell

This cafe is a hidden gem! With an impressive selection of Gluten Free (GF) and Vegan Options (VGO), it caters to a wide range of dietary needs. The charming setting offers both indoor and outdoor seating, perfect for any occasion. The Padre coffee is exceptional, and the breakfast and lunch menu is solid, featuring a delightful array of bagels, including GF options. The American-style menu is a treat, and we were thrilled with the delicious brisket and asparagus. Plus, the staff was accommodating, allowing us to customise our sides to perfection. Highly recommend!

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

Christine Maedche

I love this café for a few reasons, first and foremost. They have the best orange Matcha that is so creative and tasty! Second is their staff is really friendly. We were waiting outside before they opened, staff at the opposite side of the laneway told us in the very abrupt way that they were open until 830 however they didn’t know that we were actually waiting for 10 square Café to open. When we came up right up to Ten Square at 8 AM, they were so friendly sat us down really quick to serve on top of all this they also have really wonderful food! They have gluten-free vegan and nut free options and I’ve had a number of things here and they’re all very delicious. Great place to come if you’re staying in the Melbourne CBD.

Daniel Stephenson

Awesome food and lovely wait staff - Clarisa is a star! Perfect balance of attentiveness. Highly recommend the gluten free pasta options and the pizzas have a lovely light base. Keep up the great work guys!

Josi Lengyel

We managed to get a table outside and were promptly attended to by wait staff. The menu is diverse with delicious options and cater for vegetarians and gluten intolerances. All meals arrived in a timely manner and each was delectable with alterations made as requested (no mayo on burger, gf bread for teriyaki mushrooms and added fried egg). Burgers looked so good there was an appetite of food envy! Would come back esp to try those.

Cheryl Bentley

We enjoyed the set menu dining experience and enjoyed every mouthful. We were greeted with a tasty cocktail and then the food came out soon after. I have a gluten and dairy intolerance and was catered for very well. Staff were efficient and friendly. Nice place for a romantic/ quiet meal away from the hustle & bustle of busy Melbourne.

Rose Graham

Beautiful food, great vibes, friendly staff. Reasonably pricing for size & quality of meals. This was mid November, so Christmas decorations around the fed square area. My gluten free pals were very happy with their meals. Lots of seagulls around pecking at people's food scraps when they left.... Whilst amusing for us, glad it wasn't to our own food.

Nia Mh

Loved the vibe of this cafe! Buzzing and mostly corporate clientele during the week. Very thick fluffy gluten free bread which is always a good surprise! Lovely presentation of the scrambled eggs which were creamy and big portion. Good selection of pastries and amazing breakfast menu. They do a pretty good matcha. Not the best I’ve had but still good. Would absolutely come back on a weekend where I have more time to sit back and enjoy.

Erik Lučivjanský

Amazing “hot dog” also possible with gluten free baguette. Very tasty

Warwick Frame

Coffee and food is great. The service is outstanding. Lots of gluten free options, the gf bread is delicious and the chef's home made jam is to die for.

Jordan Lam

Fantastic experience that was complimented by our waiter Louis who was very accommodating and friendly. Food was delicious so many options especially for my partner who can’t have gluten because it makes her blow up like a hot air balloon.

corinne macrae

Very well made chicken and avocado gluten free toastie. Delicious.

Ninja Tomato

Wonderful French breakfast for 4 this morning after we strolled in without a booking. Staff were genuine, helpful and accommodating. They quickly found us a table together. Food was great and I enjoyed my coffee 👍🏻 Good to see gluten free options on the menu and they had the lactose free milk for my coffee 😁 Happy 🙌

Azzah Albakri

The food was above and beyond our expectations. We were a big group of adults and kids. The kindness of Joseph made us dine in and try the yummy dishes. If I could give more than five stars for Joseph service I absolutely would. The gluten-free options were yummy.

Irvin De La Cruz

Fiancé and I came here and had French fries as an appetizer and seafood linguini. She enjoyed the linguini which is a big deal because she is gluten free so they had a few options that were gluten free! There was a Hispanic gentleman that was helping bring people into the restaurant that was very nice and had a nice conversation with!

Christopher O'Connor

What a great cafe! Owner and staff were super friendly, the menu is great and plenty of gluten free options. The prices are very reasonable and the portions sizes are generous. We had the smashed avo and it was delicious, my only let down was there could have been a little more feta, we only got 2 small cubes. Coffee was great too. We'll definitely come back when we're in Melbourne next

Animesh Kanitkar

I've been to Bomba twice and amazing food on both occasions. Most recently I had meal for a friend's birthday and it was for 14 people. Everyone had a great time. They catered to all the various dietary requirements (coeliac, vegan, pescetarian and the list goes on). Everyone ended up leaving full and we were very well looked after by the staff. Amazing resteraunt and great for the big group celebrations. Thank you Bomba. We'll be coming back to try the rooftop bar.

Grant James

The best gluten free bacon and egg roll I think I have ever had Great service Great coffee

Kaylee Snyman

Really nice cafe, would definitely recommend! Big range of options including vegan and gluten free. The staff were knowledgeable about being celiac safe and have a gluten free toast option which was great.

Deb Wise

Food was fantastic, great gluten free assortment
