Exceptional gluten free food! Particularly the cannolis! Definitely need to go back to try all the other flavours! The server recommended the Darth cannoli, which was the banana and date flavour, and wow, she wasn’t kidding when she said it was delicious! The staff were all very friendly too, which makes such a huge difference to the experience. I’m pleased to say it was worth the wait, and 90 minute journey!

Really good food, gluten free chicken all round hence no risk of cross contamination. Would recommend the large loaded nuggets for people who like the spice. Reasonable price for the quality and taste. Would totally recommend for a celiac.

Andrea Gibney

A no fuss cafe with a good menu. Gluten free options clearly marked.

Delightful community hub with retro decor and delightful food and drinks, vegan and gluten free options and bakery treats. Most notably the staff are delightful and engaging despite being always flat out! Cherry and Mags are my favourites 💜💛

I attended my sister-in-laws function at The Warehouse Pizzeria. Her baby shower was just lovely! The food was delicious, the pizzas were perfect, the atmosphere was cosy and inviting. The chef made us extra pizzas and served us drinks & coffees all afternoon, the staff were so friendly We had a great time!! definitely we will be back-thank you! We have been coming back to the ware house pizzeria for its authentic and delicious Italian cuisine and the best wood fire pizza that every time Is beyond our expectation. The vegan and gluten free menu is great. The gluten free Funghi Pizza is my favourite!! Thank you to all the staff for always being accommodating and helpful with a smile We’ll definitely keep coming back!!

I truly hate leaving bad reviews but be careful eating here if you are coeliac, yes they advertise everything as though their entire menu is gluten free and safe for coeliacs but they use regular gluten containing cones?!? As the default. So I got a scoop on Thursday afternoon excited to finally have a scoop in a cone as that is rare for us, I didn’t clarify it was gluten free because I saw “coeliac Australia accredited” and “entire gelato menu gluten free” not for a second would I think they would be using normal cones. I spent the rest of the day vomiting violently. I also sent them a message on instagram asking why they would even bother using normal cones in an otherwise entirely gluten free establishment let alone to have them as the default, and received no reply. A real shame as I was so looking forward to just enjoying a safe ice cream without having to make a song and dance about being coeliac as we always do, to just order food like a normal person this is the benefit of entirely gf businesses. It makes no sense to me why you wouldn’t just commit to making your business entirely safe for coeliacs if all the flavours are????

I've never had such an expensive gluten free surcharge before. Most places will charge a max of $2, this place charges $3.80. Absolute rip off, and to make matters worse it was some of the worst gf bread I've ever tried. Almost $20 for the worst bacon and egg roll I've ever had.

Daniela T

The coffee is perfect. The gluten free brownie is so chocolatey

Mikayla Tunzi

We stopped in randomly while travelling back to the Western suburbs and wow this was an amazing treat! Some of the best gluten free pizza/pasta I’ve ever had! Worth travelling back for :) thank you!

Stefani Hrup

The staff were so delightful and accomodating! The food tastes great with some delicious gluten free options. My friends and I have gone a couple times recently and both times we felt very well looked after! Probably the best table service I’ve ever gotten :) We’ll definitely be making this a regular part of our routine and look forward to coming back soon!!

ricija

delicious flavours, generous toppings, great value, and the gluten free base is so so so good. there’s only a few food joints i order from regularly and enzo’s is one of them :-)

Holly R

Great little place for breakfast. The range of gluten free/vegan/allergen free foods is fantastic. The coffee is absolutely divine. Prices are reasonable and service is fast.

Tessa Tribe

Words cannot describe how much I love Basil House. A staple of mine for many years and while they offer many options are a delight for vegans/vegetarians/gluten free people. The vegetarian pho and crispy salt and pepper tofu are my favourites. Staff are super nice. Also lol at all the Karen’s whingeing about the price. The prices are not only fair they are bloody cheap and the staff work hard - chill out and eat some noodles ✌️

Nicole S

Great cafe with good coffee and friendly staff who are always up for a chat! A good selection of gluten free sweet treats too. I love that they're open so late. Getting coffee later in the afternoon can be a struggle but they're always open! Highly recommended!!

Sophie Robe

Amazing food for so cheap! Lots of options for vegan/gluten free, will definitely be back

Renee Calabretta

Already been twice this month! Tasty gluten free options and the best katsu curry 🍛 ! Very cool atmosphere and short waiting times.

Easily the BEST coffee in Melbourne, always consistent no matter what time of day or who is behind the machine. The freshest quality ingredients, absolutely love their breakfast/ lunch menu, there’s something for everyone, even my celiac partner can dine in, no problems as staff are so understanding and knowledgeable. The staff at JD are so friendly, they really do make an effort to get to know customers and make us feel welcome every single time. One of the best cafe’s in Melbourne, consistently good coffee, good food and the best vibes. OH and if you ever spot their HOUSE MADE macarons, do yourselves a favour. The best macarons you’ll ever have 😍 ☕️🤍☕️🤍☕️🤍

Last Saturday the 1st May I celebrated by 21+1 Birthday at Raqwa café and beer garden. Prior to this mum and I went there for a lovely Sunday brunch, it was their food and the atmosphere that drew us in to deciding that this was the venue for us. And we were not disappointed! What else can I say other than AMAZING. It was their first big function since the new owners and renovation took place. Needless to say it was a success. The venue was amazing, such a hidden gem just off Plenty road. The food was so delicious, what an array of different flavors and options and the staff absolutely exceptional. From their welcoming attitudes to their above and beyond service. The owners both assured me that the night would be a success and I need not stress. Turns out they were right, not without their amazing and diligent help of course. They both helped design the amazing menu for the night, helped me and my mum decorate the venue and even continued to pump up balloons after we left because we were running late. On the night they helped my guests navigate through what each food was and even when back into the kitchen to cater for my gluten free and nut free friends and family, providing them with a fresh meal to ensure they were also able to enjoy the lovely food. For the party they provided a big projector that was presented on the brick wall on the building next to where they are located, this allowed for beautiful photos to be presented throughout the night. They also have this lovely swing towards the back of the venue that provided us with a beautiful photo backdrop. Honestly 10/10 cannot recommend this place enough, amazing venue , great staff and reasonably priced delicious food.

Antoinette Rehak

We ate here with friends. Our food was delicious and reasonably priced, serves were generous. I’m coeliac and GF options for me were great. Will definitely return!

Bree Taber

Don Antonio is my favourite pizza place. They make the best bbq chicken pineapple pizza I've ever had. They have a huge range of pizzas, burgers and Italian food, and it tastes like it's made with fresh and high-quality the ingredients. Which is pretty rare for a pizza place. Great service. The staff are so lovely and accommodating with dietary requests. They have gluten-free pizzas and lots of vegan options too. My order is always ready quickly too.

Vicki D

I ordered the Gluten Free pizza. The worst pizza base ever !!! It was rock hard like a biscuit. Very unpleasant. Very disappointing as the topping was really nice. Others had normal pizza and pasta and commented it was nice. For dessert they shared the donuts and cannoli. They were nice but overpriced. Very expensive for what you got. Will not go back.

Lynne Peng

I travelled an hour to try out this restaurant. And I have to say that it didn't disappointment. The food was filling and just amazing. I went with my family and we ordered the birria, nachos and the ribs. Oh my God. Absolutely amazing. The birria was some of the best I've had. I've been disappointed before with other restraunts' quality of birria and nachos, but this place TOPS. I will say, they don't have a ton of gluten free options. But for all the celiacs. You can still enjoy ribs here (they're good af). 10/10, would recommend.

Michael Elhaj

Dana's service was 2nd to none, she even brought us our food in a plate. Their Gluten Free Fish and Chips taste just like the real thing, my kids loved it.

Zi La BBQ is a northern style Chinese food truck grilling up amazing bbq skewers. Everything is cooked to order so don’t expect a quick grab and go. Our fav is the Pork Roll which is pork belly wrapped around enoki mushrooms. You HAVE to get this. We tried their whole menu!! Lamb $2.50 Beef $2.50 Kidneys $2.50 💖 Pork Roll $3.00 💖 Pork Ball $2.00 Fish Cake $2.00 Rice Cake $2.00 💖 Gluten $2.00 💖 Price: Cheaper and bigger than other bbq places Service: Friendly Venue: 100% takeaway or snack as you walk. They’ll be setting up seating soon! Was I full? Yes but needs a bit of carbs Currently cash only, waiting on their eftpos machine to come in.

Suman Kandel

Saina Indian Restaurant is a hidden gem that I visit frequently. Although it looks small from the outside, the atmosphere inside is wonderful. Their menu is extensive, featuring vegetarian, meat, and gluten-free options. Each visit has been a delight, with the chefs sometimes customizing dishes to my liking. The food is incredibly tasty and full of flavor. The friendly counter staff, who always greet customers with a big smile, make the experience even better. Kudos to the team for their exceptional service and delicious food.

Maquarie Fletcher

Chumanchu is the best! A local favourite that always delivers fresh and amazing Vietnamese. Really great gluten free options and very family friendly vibes. Had the beef pho and it honestly blew me away, can’t wait to have it again

Susanna

I love doing the bottomless brunch with Heather! This is the second time I've enjoyed it (once with my partner, and this weekend past with my mate) and it is 10/10 a good time - just be prepared to sleep the rest of the day away, in a good way... ;) The food is delicious, the prices reasonable, the drinks spectacular, and Heather is an incredible, and fun, host! She also always works to accomodate any dietary requirements (a vegetarian partner, a gluten-free friend!). I'll come back, for all these reasons, time and time again! Thanks so much Benzina Cantina for your top notch, local, tasty service. x

Kira Ostwald

Best gluten-free pizza in Preston, actually maybe the best one I've ever had!! I love coming here, the staff are always accommodating and the food is delicious. We are lucky to have them on this side of the city.

Roslyn Irons

Great Mexican! Gluten free bowls are delicious. Spicy and tasty. Slow cooked brisket is delicious. This is where I eat at the market every time. Bowls are biodegrable too!

nicki j

Great menu, delicious food, excellent service and a down-to-earth vibe. The music wasn’t too loud so we were able to have a conversation. Bonus - there was a gluten free roti!

simcott

One of few places in Melbourne to make my favourite vietnamese dish, rice pancakes from pure rice flour, and so gluten free AND wrapped around DELICIOUS contents!!!! And great Phö too, with fresh ingredients and well balanced flavours within the broth to heighten the freshness of the ingredients. I cant wait to come back. Thank you.

Michael Norrish

Wonderful service from very attentive staff; lovely setting (especially for those with young children), and a menu that flexes for those that have dietary requirements (Dairy free, Gluten free options etc). There is a market there where you can fill your own containers for things like rice, cereals, flour etc. Also they provide you with a reusable coffee vessel for take away if you have forgotten your keepcup.

Sonia Mitchell

Delicious brunch. Good selection of gluten free meals. Great offer - 2 for one deal, thanks Ouffer. "Lovely" service - very friendly, helpful and patient with allergies too.

Ashleigh Rogers

I get the gluten free, nut free and kiwi free açai bowl. Honestly so nice and refreshing. I get it at least twice a week if I can. I would recommend everyone try the bowls from here.

I just moved to Preston and was so excited to find this little hidden gem. It's a small venue but was completely packed on a Monday night - so I highly recommend you book in advance. The servers were so sweet and friendly and despite the restaurant being full, we were attended to very promptly and our meals were served within 15 minutes of ordering. I dined with my Coeliac friend, and we were very pleased with the amount of Gluten Free options on offer. The Roti Bread was a bit too crunchy for my liking however the peanut sauce made it up for it. It was thick, sweet and had a spicy kick to it. Delicious. The Pad Thai was a highlight for me - it was tangy and flavorful, and the juicy Prawns really elevated the dish. The Prawns were also massive! Thai Chicken Green Curry had the perfect amount of spice, and the chicken was cooked perfectly, and the ratio of protein to vegetables was perfect. We also ordered a coconut rice which was fragrant and complimented the curry perfectly. The food was well priced, and the portion sizes were reasonable. Having worked in a Thai restaurant myself for 5 years I was seriously impressed with the quality of the food and service here and I can't wait to come back!

Steven Chea

Ordered the Sarm rod and the soft shell crab salad. The food was fantastic. Service was quick. Also went above and beyond to cater to my friend's gluten and soy allergy. Price's reflect portion sizes. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for some good Thai food.
