Absolutely delicious! Could not recommend more - must visit ☺️

Nicole Ruggiero

Absolutely love the menu here ! They are super safe for celiac and gluten free options!

The menu highly recommended the hot chips. We ordered it and the chips were served warm (photo). We send it back and asked for hot chips. It was served hot this time but hard and dry like it had been re-heated in the fryer. That was a bit disappointing. My partner was craving Spaghetti Bolognese commented the flavour was ok but it wasn’t al dente. My gluten free gnocchi was the better part of the meal. Overall the food served had no wow factor hence 3 stars

Chris Garner

Great food for our coeliac kids, food came out quickly and excellent, friendly and helpful service - especially by the girl from Siberia who made our time an absolute pleasure!

Food was good and good range of gluten free options, but cocktails are a joke. I paid $23 for a cocktail that I’m 90% sure had no alcohol in it at all, and what it lacked in alcohol it certainly made up for in ice. For me, if I’m going to have a nice dinner out, the cocktails need to be good. I could have bought 1/2 bottle of tequila for that price.

Ignacio the man, the myth, the legend - everything was 10/10. Coeliac friend had lots of options and they were all delicious. Would highly recommend Olé to anybody and everybody.

Laurance Kubel

Gluten free burger was really nice. Been twice and will certainly go again

Mark Solway

Excellent food and good sized portions. The spice level was just right and I can tell very authentic Indian cuisine. Also great to have everything labelled so I can tell which items were gluten free. I will be back next time I’m in South Brisbane.

Shannon Ward

My wife went there yesterday and had a shared menu, as she is coeliac she had a slightly different menu as expected, however she was given one less dish than all of the other people in the group (the steak/fish which would have been easy to cook gluten free). She was shown the different menu beforehand, but didn’t realise that it was missing that dish relative to the rest of her party She commented that the food she did have was delicious, but the experience fell short of expectations.

Robyn Clarke

Beautiful gluten free food...so many choices! Great service. Gorgeous views. Can't fault much..except the red chairs lol

Ichiban Amelia

Love this place the crepes are amazing & I always have a great experience here. I SUPER appreciate that they have gluten free crepes since I’m intolerant, and I’ve heard they are just as good.

Alanna E

Lunch time today, great service and yummy food. I’m coeliac and the gluten free food was safe.

Greek food would never fail you. Craving for another yiros wrap after having one in Melbourne. Friendly staff. Gluten-free pita available. delicious. But they all got one common thing, it's a bit pricy for the amount of food you get. Other than that, great taste, not too greasy. Pita tasted fresh. Clean professionally food packaging. Will come back for sure 😉

Nia Mh

Great service and yummy food! Gluten free options too. I ordered the salmon sushi taco, chicken, and gluten free gyozas chicken and lemongrass and mushroom.

Louise

Visiting Brisbane and caught up with family here, beautiful spot, staff friendly, meals were big pub style meals and delicious, options for gluten free.

Ron Chah

Lovely gluten free menu. I got the GF choc chia pudding. Delicious!

Emily Lee

Kinda overpriced food and not the best Chinese food. Chicken was kinda dry, the jasmine rice was bland and everything was just overpriced and average. The dumplings were good and tasty, but nothing special. Although I think the portion sizes were really good and large. They are also super allergy friendly and I think that’s really hard to find in restaurants. I’m glad that they have gluten free dumplings and options. I’m a food vlogger and reviewer so I’m pretty honest with my reviews so this is my honest take of the restaurant.

Cristina S

Good food, helpful staff, relaxed atmosphere. Came with my kids they weren't out of place to the feel of the place. Pizza seemed authentic, my style of nice, thin, charred base, and tasty simple toppings. Calamari great sharing size, recommend getting this gluten free as it comes pan fried instead of fried and was nicer (we had both styles)

Emily Lee

Really yummy restaurant and I love the falafels!!! They were gluten free too! The espresso Martini was not good though. Don’t order that. The portions are also very small. But cute and vibey ambiance to the restaurant!!

Jenny Howard

Stopped here for a late lunch (like 3pm), it was a miserable wet day but the restaurant was very cosy & warm. The staff were lovely. Hubby had a seafood platter & I had the GF Barramundi. The platter was a bit small for the money but lovely. The Barramundi was delicious & they were very mindful of the need for it to be Gluten Free for me. Overall it was really nice & we will definitely go there again next time we are in Brisbane.

Brigid Barbagallo

Lovely quiet spot by the river with great service and high quality food. Just wish they had a few more gluten free options like easy swaps for pasta or bread or the chips!

Maddison Roberts (Madi)

I took a chance on this place because reviews weren’t promising, but all 9 of my family loved the food and service. Menu has extensive gluten free options where taste and texture were similar to gluten food! Very surprised and happy with this restaurant. Thanks guys!

Deborah Commins

I ate lunch at Southside today for the first time. I am a coeliac and chose this restaurant because of the extensive GF options on the menu. I advised my waitress that I am coeliac and asked what would be a safe menu choice for me. She brought me out a detailed menu which identified all the GF options, and then also went on to explain that all GF dishes were prepared in a seperate part of the kitchen to limit cross contamination. My friend (who is not coeliac) and I wanted to try the banquet menu, which included some non GF items. The waitress said they could tailor the banquet menu to me specifically, so that I would have GF food while my friend had non GF. I can't believe how extremely helpful and accommodating the restaurant was. And they made it seem like absolutely no effort at all to deal with my dietary requirements. They barely even batted an eyelid! The food was incredible. 5 stars.

Olivia Fielding

Food is delicious and staff are more than happy to assist with navigating the menu with allergies. Can do gluten free ramen so a win for me 👌👌

Alison Botha

So many gluten free options

Yves Haufe

The chicken with the special 24 hr marinade is delicious, spicy level on choice. The staff is fairly friendly and hands the allergy list with the menu upon asking. The allergy list good structured. They are honest about the possibility if the food might contain even traces of gluten. That there are no gluten free burgers is still disappointing.

Cleopetra T

The best 'kebab style' wrap I've ever tasted in Brisbane 😋 it was fortunate to see that they even had gluten free wraps too! The lamb is of high quality and they make the best chips 🍟 😍 I wish they had better seating for larger groups of people but we still enjoyed the dine-in regardless ☺ ☺

Love this place. Great if you are gluten free.

Alice Stokes

Plenty of gluten free options. Prawn rolls and g f sauce

Georgia Smith

I went for lunch in late December 2022. I am a coeliac, I told the waiter and he assured me my meal would be gluten free. Sure enough, I got extremely sick not long after eating and it lingered for weeks. Tried to contact the restaurant but no response. Disappointing. Don’t go here if you have dietary requirements.

Andrew Roberts

Nice place. Was quiet on Saturday night. The meals are larger than expected so couldn't eat it all. Loads of vegan and gluten free options.

Gail Shaw-Newton

Enjoyed a delicious Pumpkin salad today. New to the menu. They stock gluten free Hahn beer as well. Staff were friendly and interacted with us. It is a lovely place to visit when in Brisbane.

Nina B

Yummo! Gluten free options, delicious mexican - hip hip hooray!

Haresh & Pinky

Beautiful atmosphere, amazing food catered for Gluten and dairy free, was yum 😋 and wonderful staff. Definitely will be back.

Some of the yummiest and freshest bowls I've tried, and I eat a lot of poke! The ingredients are always so fresh. The pre designed bowl options are really carefully thought out but if you can't find one you like, you can design your own. Most of the bowls are gluten free or low gluten and dairy naturally as they're based on rice or a salad base like kale. Yummy and healthy, all around the $20 as at time of writing.

Pizza was excellent. Larger than expected with delicious crust and lots of cheese. They have a gluten free option. Four stars, instead of 5, ONLY because they prepare and partly cook the pizza before recooking when ordered. Makes it faster though (and still delicious). If 4.5 was possible..

Bailey Deagon

We ordered the chicken fried rice, hot chips and plain bibimbap. Fried rice and hot chips were both gluten free but the bibimbap was only GF if it was plain, not sure why they couldn't just add some chicken like in the fried rice lol but either way, everything else was delicious. They sadly don't have many other gluten free options but they made up for it in the deliciousness of the meals that were GF. Thanks staff for a lovely meal!

Crystal McLaughlin (Game Over)

Limited gluten free options. Service and food was good.

Dee Cannon

Very ordinary, flavourless, not good for gluten free people. Just very basic.

Sean Samuel

We ate here 2 nights ago. We were a bit skeptical after reading many of the negative reviews but needed somewhere affordable to eat. If u want a 4 or 5 star place to eat then this isn't for you. However our food was great & they have a good range of Gluten Free options. it was super tasty, good value for money. Everywhere was busy that night including San Kai but the food came out quickly, it was warm/hot, it was tasty, it was a good serving of food & the staff were friendly & helpful. All the people in our group were extremely happy - even the gluten free member. We will certainly go back again.

Kym Marsh

My husband and I stumbled across this beautiful restaurant last Sunday morning and it was wonderful 😌 loved the food, plenty of gluten free options and just peaceful watching the river and watching the world pass us by. So relaxed

I also recently went to Punjabi Palace for a celebration and this restaurant did not disappoint, absolutely amazing food I Definitely recommend their lamb Vindaloo, all their food is of incredible quality and with pristine presentation, With plenty of options for common dietary needs such as gluten free and lactose free options. the atmosphere is very comforting too; I say happily, Please make this restaurant your next outing in Brisbane City.

Sebastian Ruiz

Beautiful and vibrant venue with lots of gluten free options!

Anders Pinkerton

We had a custom wedding cake made here, gluten and lactose free. It was amazing! Highly recommended

Kay Van

This was such a lovely restaurant to go to for dinner! Not only was the restaurant extremely welcoming, they had great music and a beautiful and fun belly dancer!! Natalie served me at the restaurant and was exceptionally accommodating to my dietary needs. She made it a mission to deliver incredible service throughout the entirety of dinner, and to be attentive, caring, and kind. She was so careful to point out which dishes were available for me to eat with my Gluten and Dairy intolerances, and even gave me first picks off of the plate of fish to prevent cross contamination as it was a shared dish amongst the tables. That small detail made an impactful and big difference, as it showed she cared and understood how careful you have to be when it comes to anyone’s intolerances and allergies! She was so lovely and it was such a fun and welcoming atmosphere!!!! Thank you!!!!

It was a rainy morning and me and my cousin headed to Gunshop cafe only to see a sign saying they are full and not taking walk ins. My cousin was pregnant so we decided to ask if there was a table and they quickly offered to put us on the wait list or offered us a table outside immediately which was great. I ordered Eggs Benedict with # Gluten Free bread. The Eggs and spinach were beautifully done however the bacon came out burnt to cinders. The server was very sweet though and immediately offered to get me a replacement and got me double the quantity that was perfectly done! My cousin says her Risotto was very tasty. We both enjoyed our meals and the service. Having some ₹GF #Gluten Free options was nice. They could do more GF items though, or classify the items better e.g omlettes can be GF but we're not marked as GF. If they add a few more #GF items it Wil be my go to place!

Absolutely terrible experience here and I left injured!!! Waited ages to be not even be served, then people came in after us and were served before us! Terrible ice cream display! 1/3 of the flavours had no signs so we couldn't even tell what they were and the rest were pushed forward in such a way that they couldn't even be read! There were only 2 scoups between all the flavours and every flavour was cross contaminated with others. So if you're after a gluten free variety, you'll have no luck unless you're willing to risk being poisoned. There was also ice cream dropped all around on the dividers between the flavours which looked messy and unsightly. Needless to say we left without ordering. Don't go here unless you are ok with poor food hygiene. I also need to add that I had a massive fall on the entry rug when exiting as the mat had been placed over a presumably mopped floor trapping the moisture before it dried, creating a slippery trip hazard which unfortunately I was the victim of after placing one foot on the corner of the rug! The fall was bad enough that I went into shock! I now have an injured back, hip and shoulder. Clearly customer safety and food presentation is of no priority here! I later found out when I went back to report my injury, that you need to order ice cream at the cash register, not at the ice cream display like every other ice creamery in existence, so stupid, as you have to walk back to the ice cream display to point at what you'd want as the flavour names aren't displayed, then have to go back to the register to pay! The staff saw us waiting to be served, but didn't even direct us to where we needed to order, just left us there waiting! Avoid this place!!! EDIT: email sent as suggested by response. Was contacted by store manager who forwarded my concerns to Churros HR. 2 months on, many emails to them from me and the store owner and I still have had NO contact from Churros Head office or HR department! Just appalling!!!

My partner and I visited Gelare for the first time this evening and were greeted by the most lovely staff member called Jack. They made my boyfriend and I two amazing biscoff lattes and since it was quiet we all had a really lovely conversation. Jack was probably one of the nicest parts of our busy day. They were so lovely that after visiting the markets we came back to the store and bought a few desserts. Though it may seem a bit pricey, with three desserts for $27, they were generously portioned, and surprisingly tasty for being gluten free. The brownie was so good that my partner heckled me into mentioning it specifically in this review. I’ll definitely think of visiting again if I come back to Brisbane any time soon.

My Mum and I went to this cafe before a medical appointment. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the prices of the meals were affordable. I had an Eggs Your Way and she had a Big Breakfast. We both loved our meals that we were so full afterward but couldn’t leave any of our meals behind! My Mum is gluten, yeast and dairy free. They had a few options to cater to her. The cafe is wheelchair accessible as there is a ramp on the right side of the building. I didn’t check if they had an accessible bathroom.

Kerryn B

Small double shot lattes and eggs Benedict were perfect, only $1 extra for gluten free. Service was friendly and efficient.
