Top 50 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots to Delight in Fortitude Valley

Siobhan Lowth

Came here for my birthday dinner, incredible food and service. Crunchy potatoes are phenomenal and the brisket tacos are a must. Staff were friendly and the service was great. Will definitely go back. My parents and myself are coeliac and the menu was also incredible for this, couldn’t decide what to get so got everything.

Suzanna Gourley

Great spot to hangout with friends and grab a drink/bite to eat! Everything’s vegan which made my soul happy and the gluten free options hit the spot. I will return if I’m ever in Brisbane again.

Murphy Willock

Came to Bird's Nest to catch up with friends. The atmosphere is incredible, very warm and inviting. Food and drinks were amazing, such good flavours! Normally only two skewers per serving but were kind enough to add an extra so every member of our three person party could have one. The servers were awesome, very attentive - regularly checking on water and filling glasses and taking empty plates. Excellent gluten free accomodation and understanding. Will definitely be coming back, 100%.

My wife is celiac so this place is fantasy. Quality food and a great price

The staff were absolutely amazing and accommodating. Our waiter ensured that we were all served and looked after and a shout-out to Millie (I hope I spelt it right!)! She made sure the birthday cakes were presented nicely and that we were looked after throught the few hours we were there. The food was outstanding! It was one of the nicest Asian restaurants we've been to in a long time. Servings are a decent size and great quality. We had a coeliac member of family with us and they have so many gluten-free options! Usually difficult in Asian restaurants. Cost is reasonable for what you get. The only issue is parking (like anywhere in the Fortitude Valley). Highly recommend 👌

Stacey Messer

Wonderful experience and everything ordered was gluten free and absolutely delicious. Staff very accommodating about food allergies. So nice to eat at a lovely restaurant and have so much choice regarding gluten free options.

dinner was incredible, the gluten free rigatoni was so beautiful!

Alex Hardy

Such a good spot for people who are on a gluten free diet. Got to eat things I haven’t been able to have for years wish there were stores in nz

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently hosted a birthday lunch at Maya Mexican Restaurant for a group of 20, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience! The staff was incredibly accommodating, ensuring that all of our dietary requirements were met—from gluten-free to vegetarian and everything in between. Everyone had a fantastic time, and the food was absolutely delicious! The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, making for the perfect setting to celebrate. Huge thanks to the team for going above and beyond to make sure every guest had an enjoyable and personalized experience. Highly recommend Maya for any group gatherings or special occasions!

Not as good as expected. Also not gluten free as it is all cross contaminated certainly not a place to risk of your celiac

Lexi Preston

Really nice food. Loads of gluten free options which was great. Would be cool if they had a lunch menu as you pay the same amount for lunch as if you had dinner there. Staff were friendly and the restaurant had a nice open vibe to it. Will be back for a dinner sometime.

Kelly Martin

Great Food, great gluten free options! Would totally come back!

Ben O Shea

Great gluten free pizza base!

Lauren Sneddon

Sexiest vegetables of my life. The space, service and food are sublime. Very accommodating of gluten free dietary requirements. We had the best time. There should be an Agnes in every city.

Thara Nair

A really cute place situated in the valley. Heaps of options for gluten free. Food is generally amazing. 10/10 recommend the baked scallops The arancini was a little too hard and dry 7/10 recommend the burrata (def add the prosciutto) Lamb pappardelle was AMAZING although don't expect huge chunks of lamb, instead small bits are stirred through the pasta. The steak was beautiful! We asked for rare and got a bit more of a blue steak, but that might be due to the thickness of the steak. Pizza was the uncontested loser here. Very disappointing and almost a little bland. 3/10 Drinks were alright. Cocktails were good although the menu seems to have changed from what's available online. Which is a shame. Only thing is, despite making a reservation and arriving early, we were told to wait and then forgotten. We waited 40 minutes for our mains, so don't eat here if you're in a rush. However, staff did apologise for the delays and explained that kitchen had some delays. Staff were generally friendly but they did seem very overworked the day we went. Overall, 7/10

We had a delicious meal at Short Grain last night. The food was excellent, particularly the whole fish, stir fried veggies and the fried rice. Sensational flavours. We loved our lemongrass martinis, beautifully chilled and not too sweet. The service we experienced was top notch and so helpful. We would definitely recommend Short Grain for lovers of unique and well paired Asian flavours. It was super easy to be a gluten free diner as well as most of the dishes fell into that category. The only suggestion we would make would be to perhaps space the tables a little bit more and maybe a bit more mood lighting (though we were eating early, so perhaps that was the distraction). Don’t let these suggestions deter you though from a visit, the food and service is so worth it.

We had a sensational celebration dinner in the private dining room at Rosmarino. The food was incredibly tasty, and beautifully presented and the set menu had so much variety. They kindly catered with ease for 1 gluten free diner. The service was delightfully friendly, professional and attentive. Rosmarino made our celebration a very special night to remember. Thank you all so much. We would highly recommend dining here.

Cheryl Cartwright

Thank you. Today we enjoyed the set menu for lunch and it is the best looked after I’ve ever felt being coeliac. Usually we are made to feel like lepers but my vegetarian friend and I were spoiled alongside the amazing food the others enjoyed. Thanks so much!!!

Jack Dewar

I have been here multiple times and the food, service, ambience and drinks are beyond exceptional every time. The food is not only excellent but mine and my partners gluten-free needs are completely catered for and I have not yet had an experience of being glutened via cross-contamination or being given the wrong dish. The staff are very perceptive and assertive, doing things such as asking to hang up my jacket when I remove it, offering expert advice when asked for a wine pairing, making a custom cocktail to suit my partners taste… I could go on. Please, never change.

Monthly catch up with friends. Because one of us is gluten-free, we all ordered separately. I had the salt & pepper calamari, and it was delicious. I also ordered vegetables, but was disappointed with them - only 4 pieces of corn, 4 pieces of carrot, 3 pieces of broccoli, 4 sweet peas, and lots of bok choy (?) and other green stuff, also the sauce was not very flavourful either. I told our server and he arranged for a discount on this dish. My friends all enjoyed their meals. It was quite busy and there was a loud table at the back celebrating a birthday. Due to it being a public holiday, there was a 15% surcharge.

Andy Rols

Fresh tasty food with many Gluten free options! Friendly service....cant wait to go back!

David Morris

Fantastic location with amazing food even in the rain. We arrived prior to a massive storm in Bne. They were awesome to accommodate us along with the kids. The food was all spot on and could also accomodate low gluten options.

Samuel Dariol

Delicious! We ordered some gluten free pasta, made at the restaurant, and it was one of the best we've had. Staff were lovely. Definitely going back!

Matt Llamas

Incredible food. Staff very catering to gluten free options and knew what they were talking about. Chef is lovely. Quick turn around on order time. Little bit pricey but quality of service and food holds up to match. Will definitely be back.

Jane Stavrinoudis

We were guests at a birthday party where a few of us had special dietary issues. The service and food were sensational, and the experience was one of the few times I didn't feel like a pariah. The gluten and dairy free options were delicious and the staff went out of their way to reassure me that what I was eating was safe. Thank you to all for a fabulous night!

Bree Mcgirl

Such a great spot! They have the best coeliac friendly gluten free food. The venue has a great cosy atmosphere and the staff are super friendly! Bloodhound is one of my favourite spots in Brisbane by far

Eddie Schafer

We went to the Valley store before a movie at the Palace. We questioned the waitress if the Crispy Burger was gluten free and she said it was. My husband is Coeliac. During movie my husband was feeling sick. We went back and questioned restaurant and they then said the burger bun was gluten free not the ingredients. How ridiculous!! We are very disappointed and would think twice about going to this place again. They didn’t even reply to my previous email!!

Shintaro Toriyabe

Authentic Japanese cuisine with friendly service, izakaya style. iPad ordering system per table, with quite an extensive menu. The beef tataki was good with grated raw garlic as a garnish which packed a good punch, the pipi sakamuahi (steamed with sake) was also flavoursome with ponsu sauce, and sashimi ship all very fresh. The squid sashimi was also well prepared with the slices cut to the right width to match the thickness of each portion, which gives a pleasant mouthfeel and texture per bite. They also had the body/mouth of the squid served as sashimi with the tough parts removed, which I think I've never had before outside Japan. Very nice. Shishamo tempura was fried well, as was the cream croquettes and beef kushi katsu (katsu on a skewer). Even the dressing on the small accompanying salads was good and memorable. Grilled mackerel portion was generous and suitably fatty to be washed down with a beer. Kids had a curry which they also enjoyed. Standout for the evening was the deep fried flounder. It may not sound like much of a dish, but when correctly done the whole fish minus the head can be eaten. Here the fish was filleted and each piece cut into bite size pieces which was good, but the bones, fins and tail were deep fried in a single piece. The whole lot can be eaten with a unique taste and texture, again I've never seen this served up like this before around here. Desserts selection was also pretty good, and they didn't skimp on the ice-cream in the parfaits. They also had sakura dango, a glutenous rice cake thinly wrapping a sweet red bean paste, but with an outer layer of a salted leaf from a cherry blossom tree. Somewhat rare outside of Japan, it was a great mix of sweet and savoury flavours with the unmistakable sakura aroma. Highly recommended for an authentic dining experience. Definitely worth a repeat visit to try out the rest of their menu.

Matt Llamas

Incredibly gorgeous restaurant with a wonderful bar and lovely staff. I was seated and served efficiently, there was a very impressive range of food options to select from. I absolutely love the way they season and cook their vegetables. The beef was so mouth watering and tender. The only thing I would love to see from this place is more gluten-free pasta options.

Simone D

Many options of salad toppings and roll fillings, even combinations of them. The combination vermicelli salad is excellent value with grilled pork, spring rolls and sugarcane prawn topping. The vermicelli salads and rolls are a great option for people who can't have gluten

Mistylee Wiley

Had a wonderful meal and service was amazing. Waiter was very helpful re husband with coeliac disease (gluten allergy, medical). Steak cooked perfectly 👌

Megan H

Quite a Cosy yet classy establishment with dining both inside and outside on the pavement. The dishes themselves were quite delicious and beautifully presented. Sides were generous and large enough to share. Extensive wine list and quite a good selection of cocktails. Very accomidating of dietary restrictions and gluten free.

Elizabeth Ann O'Connor

A few steps from Brunswick Mall you will find this small restaurant that is abundant with authentic atmosphere. An amazing menu selection. Incredibly accommodating for gluten free dining. Wine menu was very adequate and the Rose was perfect.

Amanda Vernon

Outstanding family run restaurant which I’ve been coming back to for 33 years. The quality and consistency of the food is fantastic and the service is excellent. We are greeted like family every time and Jessica always remembers our favourite drinks and dishes. Head chef, DaShan, takes much pride in the quality of his food and service. My Mum is coeliac and they always cater to her needs with delicious, fresh, gluten free options. Their signature “Oyama Hand Roll” (pictured) is a must have - good luck stopping at just one!! Their Japanese special fried rice with pork belly is another must try. The teppanyaki bar is a lively and entertaining experience. The grilled Moreton Bay bugs or prawns in garlic butter and signature mustard sauce will leave you wanting to lick the bowl, they’re so good. I’ve lived in Japan, and I can honestly say that Oyama’s is the best Japanese restaurant I’ve found in Australia.

Michael Storrs (Mickey D)

Good food, great service and a view to match. Plenty of gluten free options. The wait staff were very friendly and helpful. The entrance wasn't obvious at first. But it's quite clear in the side street. Take the elevator to the 14th floor and there isn't much else up there.

Chiara Musso

It’s a great traditional Italian restaurant! They don’t have gluten free pasta or pizza however there are some gf options for mains (some are also dairy free)

Ben O Shea

10/10 Burger, Great Gluten Free Options. Coeliac Aware, Bun was very good.

Sara Stremikis Bennett (The Mindful Peanut)

While they did have ability to make several dishes gluten free, or vegetarian/vegan. It was slim pickings if you’re both. The salad I had however was quite lovely. Though I would have had more cooked veg in it than raw. Some raw veg were cut in a way it was just awkward to eat, I’m grateful I wasn’t on a first date. 😂 Lovely staff & vibe for a special date night.

Jessica Ward

As a Gluten Free Vegan, I was very looked after had a number of choices, and well taken care of. 100% recommend x

Edith Hunter

Darlene Fletcher

Absolutely blown away by our whole experience here - from the moment we walked into the beautifully decorated venue which is minimal, super stylish and comfortable, to being warmly greeted with big smiles and welcoming arms by the lovely manager and her team, to the absolutely divine food full of fresh ingredients and plenty of healthy vegetarian and gluten free options, Hizolas is our new favorite! Give it a go asap because it will also be your new favorite place to dine! Can’t wait to go back!

Adrian Thake

A great hidden gem in the Valley. Great coffee, so good I had to order a second, friendly service and best of all happy to accommodate a coeliac gluten free, menu items. Highly recommend their Chilli Scamble.

Venice Emery

A fun and stylish Valley pub! The vibe is local business lunch and end of day drinks meets fun night out. 🥗 I love anchovies in my Cesar salad! And here they have real anchovies on Parmesan covered crispy cos with crunchy bacon morsels. The burger is buttermilk chicken on a gluten free bun - and the gf bun is one of the good ones! 🚗 There’s a little bit of parking for sober bae’s like me.

JA FB

We had an early dinner here. There were live crabs and lobsters and coral trout in tanks at the front. We ordered gluten free sizzling prawns, San Choi bow, Mongolian beef and pork with plum sauce. And vegetarian spring rolls Everybody enjoyed their food a great deal. The meat was really tender and my elderly dad asked for some pineapple at the end and they brought him a little cup of pineapple. We'd go back there.

Starters: Duck croquettes- very generous amount or duck. Delicious Calamari- well seasoned, perfectly cooked. Delicious Pizza: Diavola - generous toppings, a somewhat strange taste in the sauce i think perhaps the smoked paprika wasn't my favourite. Pumpkin base- amazing, best pizza I've ever had Gluten-free egg plant base - generous topping, one of the best gf pizzas I've tried. Very filling, took half home to have the next day! Dessert: Pistachio tart - small serving, would have been better presented and on the palate with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. All 4 members of staff we had interactions with were attentive, polite and informative. The atmosphere is impressive, a great balance of semi formal but elegant and unpretentious. My only recommendation is a offering some mid range house wines by the bottle. We will be back!

Michael Storrs (Mickey D)

We have been here twice. Once before I was diagnosed a coeliac and both times have been amazing. Although they didn't have a gluten free pizza base, the gluten free gnocchi was amazing. The other option would have been penne pasta. Great atmosphere and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Edit. Third time here and still amazing.

Avril Clarke

Ordered Japanese Curry (gluten free + veggie) it was AMAZING all the toppings, sauce, spice and ingredients. I order here regularly and occasionally dine in, chefs may vary but food is always delicious.

Matthew Lester

The gluten free food was very good, and the service was nice.

Natasha

Best menu! Even for vegans- I had a very generous selection and had trouble choosing. I could even narrow it down to Vegan+gluten free

Fi Poidevin

Amazing pasta and pizza. We ordered gluten free and it was incredible. Fresh, tasty and light. I will be coming back 🤩
