Best Thai food. Authentic and great tasting. Trusting in gluten free cross and across cross contamination. I feel very confident eating here as coeliac and never had problems. Support a wonderful business at great price's.

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.

Possibly the best Mexican restaurant going around, always try and make a stop off here when visiting Ballarat from Melbourne. The vegetarian and Gluten Free options are spot on. The atmosphere is a vibe and the staff are super friendly. Would recommend the Pabellon Criollo!

Gluten free Schnitzel is always good. Nice sweet potato chips. Garden Salad a bit disappointing!

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!!!

A surprise package in Ballarat, far exceeding my expectations, when we celebrated a friend's birthday at Ragazzone last night, sharing the chef's special selection. What a treat, especially for me as my gluten free dietary requirements were expertly catered for.

Judy Cabanas

Fantastic food and atmosphere. The service was lovely. Catered gluten free for my son who has Coeliac Disease and he loved the food as well. Cannot rate this place high enough. Best spanish food we have ever had.

Ruby Hateley

Great food, as well as plenty of gluten free options. The beef stroganoff is amazing. They are a life saver as someone who works shift work! Wish they were open Saturdays though 😊

My family and I had a delayed Christmas get-together at the Brown Grain Thai Restaurant last night. There were nine of us. We had a great evening. The food was amazing and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. The meals had a wonderful array of fresh vegetables and other ingredients of your choice, in wonderful sauces. Each of us ordered different meals, and everyone liked what they had. There was a great choice of vegetarian, and also gluten-free options, which was wonderful for some of our group who needed those options. A lot of meals had a little GF label next to them to show that they could be adapted for gluten-free. I thought the prices were very reasonable considering the excellent quality of the meals. Some of us came earlier than others because of how far we'd had to travel, and the staff were great in accommodating that. It is a large venue and family friendly. We had a lovely time, and I really want to thank the staff for being so helpful.

Great food and fantastic service this afternoon - perfect ambiance in the courtyard! Staff were very attentive and helpful in advising what food would be suitable for a coeliac.

Gluten Free pancakes were some of the best. Good location in town.

Matt Hilton

Daniel Chappell

A little noisy. Food was amazing. Great for coeliacs

Lucy

Really good traditional style pizzas with lots and lots of toppings. The gluten free base was good. Great prices too.

Jordan Verbeek

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.

Mehwish

Extremely friendly staff and good selection of burgers. They have gluten free and halal options too! Drop in for a quick bite and stick around the guess the characters on the mural on the wall. 10/10 recommend.

mihaela raguz

Great selection of vegan and gluten free food thank you yummmm 🥰

Sean Batchelor

Amazing food!! The best Lamb Biryani amd Aloo Palak I've ever had. Highly recommend. The whole meal was divine. We asked for gluten free and it all was and the service for home delivery was on par with the meal.

Maria Moraca

Excellent experience in every way. The food was some of the best I've had anywhere; wine pairings were perfect and explained in a very down-to-earth manner; the wines by the glass list was extensive, as well. Service was perfect, and the atmosphere was cosy. Pre-set menu, but there's a vegetarian version available and they'll also cater to gluten intolerances. Really high-end dining without being stuffy. We don't live in Ballarat but will absolutely be back and would plan a weekend trip around eating here any time.

Very friendly staff. Tried glutenfree parma their which was very well prepared and served. Enjoyed the meal and ambience.

Yasmin Rose

Tried this place out for the first time out of curiosity, it was delicious and exceeded my expectations. The general ambience was comfortable and relaxed. I love the idea of seeing and ordering your items on a wall mounted iPad. Menu has a good variety of sushi items, a handful using meat instead of fish if you're not into fish. You can also see the items you have ordered and keep an eye on your bill as you order, as well as call for assistance if need be. They also have Gluten Free and Vegetarian items on the menu. This place has a trendy Melbourne feeling which is nice if you want to go somewhere a bit 'hip' and experience something different. It wasn't busy when I dined there but they didn't open until 11:30. Overall I enjoyed this experience and would happily go again. I ordered four 'small' items with a coke but was quite content at the end. I was leaving feeling hungry 👌

Christine Bennett

I have to eat a gluten free diet. Thai Sala have a clearly labelled menu which allowed for me to decide on a meal easily. The food was delicious and well presented. The staff were pleasant and attentive.

Breannan Murray

Just had the most amazing meal! Staff were so lovely and accomodating. Highly recommend, and so many gluten free options!

Lisa Lambert

Great food and great service! Busy little joint with absolutely giant serves so only go if you are HUNGRY! They also made gluten free battered sweet and sour and honey chicken which was delicious. They were really quick which was awesome with small impatient kids!! Will definitely be back :D

d Spit

Destination dining! Loved it. The dessert is paradise for gluten free people. Everything about the meal felt special.

Roma Callaghan

Lovely meals. Friendly staff. Gluten free options available. Reasonable prices

Madison Howard

Gluten free burritos and gluten quesadillas!!! && they are sooooo yummy! The food tastes delicious and it looks like they cater for all! Regular folks, gluten-free legends like me, vegan and vegetarian peeps. Honestly this find has made my soul and tummy so happy! Thank you! Chicken burrito recommend too! No option to select it.

Lee Burnett

Great service! Great food now with even more on the menu buffalo chicken, turkey and cranberry relish and much more sauces and spreads, seasonings cheeses and salads and even new breads and gluten free wraps! Something new for everyone!

This is the best burger joint in town. The charcoal grilled burgers are delicious, and moderately priced. The gluten-free burger bread is really good, nice and soft. The service is excellent and quick. If you have dietary issues, including being vegetarian, you will be taken care of here. The place is new and talking to the owner I have been told that it will be jazzed up inside. But I go there for the great food, not the decor. By the way, the meats they use are of the best quality available. Please, try it out, eating in or take away. You won't regret it, simply because their burgers are simply delicious, with the smokey aroma of charcoal grilled meat. What more can you ask for?

Chris Restall

Really good gluten free food and excellent customer service
