I ordered the picnic box for 4 people. It arrived exactly on time and was loaded straight into my car. It was such a delight to open the box! Everything was well packaged and we had everything we needed. It was soooo delicious! One of my picnic guests is coeliac and she was happily catered for. I’ll happily order this again - such a relaxing and delicious way to cater for a picnic. Thanks Vaporetto.

Last weekend we had delightful brunch at this cafe! It has a brilliant interior but also a ‘secret garden’ outdoor dining space which is lovely! ☀️ We ordered: ꕤ 𝐁𝐑𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐇 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐒 🍳 Benedict - one of our favourite brunch dishes. The poached eggs were absolutely perfect and the housemade hashbrowns were so tasty 🥗 Superfood Salad with Salmon - full of wholesome goodness! 🌮 Crispy Prawn Tacos - one of our highlights! The prawns were soooo crunchy and full of flavour ꕤ 𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 🍓 Mixed Berries Smoothie - banana, berries, chia, dates, coconut yoghurt & almond milk 🥂 Mimosa - orange juice & prosecco These dishes were so fresh and tasty!! We especially LOVED the prawn tacos which were so crispy and the flavours were perfect 🤤 A big thank you and shoutout to Lach who was so kind, welcoming and provided amazing service to us 🥰 Their menu has a fantastic range with many vegan & vegetarian friendly and gluten free options. Definitely will be back!

I had lunch at Rococo in a large group of work colleagues. As a Coeliac I had very low expectations of being able to eat many things on the menu. When I informed the staff, they asked if I was Coeliac and throughout the meal continuously ensured I had plenty of food that met my dietary requirements even though everyone else was eating the standard fixed menu items. Especially loved the homemade gluten bread!!!

Simon Bunker

Fantastic fish and chipper. Rock makes fantastic and hearty burgers as well a delicious medium garlic butter salmon and Geroge knows what he's doing at the fryer. Love the service which is just honest to god rock solid and welcoming. Try the gluten free potato cakes when they have it, seriously good stuff.

Great venue for a 60th. The space ( indoor & outdoor) , food ( including catering for our gluten free guests ) and most importantly the hostess Bita , made our celebration fun and memorable. Highly recommend Ninis as venue for a special function. Thanks Bita Imogen&Hamish

Our favourite Japanese place in Melbourne. Great food and great service, with many gluten free options. Definitely recommend.

Thomas Francis

For a warm, welcoming and high quality cafe experience I can highly recommend Four Kilo Fish. The food was excellent and the staff really supportive with gluten free and diary free options. The environment was warm and welcoming, which was perfect for a Melbourne winter. I was coffee'd out for the day and so stuck with the 18-hour brewed chai which was refreshing and clean. Watching the barista I could tell they knew their stuff and being a Monday afternoon, they were not rushed, meaning it would have been the perfect time to enjoy one of their house roasted filter coffees. I enjoyed my time there so much I ordered my meal again as take away for my partner. A really enjoyable place with a gentle atmosphere and warm and generous service.

Situation: a little tipsy hunting for a late night feed. Result: great service, phat fresh pizza with crispy base and tasty topping and sauces and free extra sauce. Hitting the spot. Would recommend 10/10. They have gluten free options too! I had the tandoori chicken - it was a treat.

Danielle Presley

Amazing gluten free options. Very delicious!

Jennie Lander

Quite simply the best Greek food in Melbs and Sydney! Our friends Nicki and Fritz have been going here for years and have always told us how amazing it is. Well, we went on 2nd January and it was absolutely packed - and now we now why. Elena warmly welcomed us and also helped us with our allergies (gluten free and fodmap) which was outstanding and so helpful. We had the octopus which was perfectly cooked and so delicate plus the saganaki (perfectly cooked and a generous serve). Two of us had the blue eye fillet, one lamb gyros served with chips and lettuce and one calamari (tender and delicious). Naturally we also got a Greek salad which was very tasty – lots of feta, olive oil, tomato, lettuce. We had fully bellies but you can't go past the homemade baklava - it is seriously the BEST baklava I’ve ever tasted with the perfect balance of flavour, sweetness and moistness. BYO is fantastic.

Emma Papworth

Lovely cosy cafe with friendly staff, and plenty of affordable breakfast and lunch options. They also have gluten free options and are aware of coeliac disease, and can take extra precautions. Totally recommend this spot!

@bawa_cafe in hawthorn has some amazing burgers and pork belly perfect for a indulgent lunch. located next to Bunnings in Hawthorn, this cafe also caters to gluten free foodies and serve a range of delicious croissants and coffee. The chips were flavoured were and the portion was perfect for a mid day lunch. The aesthetic renovation inside makes you feel instantly relaxed. Thanks for the wonderful invite @bawa_cafe 💓 We really enjoyed the meal and smoothie.

Yum, and super busy even on a Sunday afternoon. Clearly marked which things are Gluten Free and Vegan

Lily Camilleri

Really nice pizzas. Also they make a good gluten- free base for those with diet restrictions. Take pride in their food and service. Prompt and friendly delivery.

Beata Szinyi

Cute pizzeria and nice chef, but sadly the food was disappointing. We had gluten free pizzas - the base was thick and soggy, and unfortunately the topping didn’t make up for it. It was very, very bland, like eating frozen pizza from the supermarket. Even with 30% off through EatClub it was not worth it. We’ve had plenty of excellent gf pizzas elsewhere so I know it’s not hard to make a good one - even Domino’s is better in all honesty 😔 Sorry, we won’t be back.

Chicken and chip shops are all around but Redrocks have great chicken, available in gluten free (no wheat based stuffing) which is a great option for my son who has allergies. The also have a great selection of salads.

Felt like Vietnamese for lunch today and came to this place because of high reviews on Google. I was surprised to find that almost everything were gluten free here! The food was so delicious and such a big serving I couldn’t even finish it!. The staff were super friendly. The boss also told me the pho broths are all free of MSG which is a bonus! I will definitely be back :)
