Top 34 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Enjoy in Collingwood

Actually had the food from here as a takeaway, so unable to comment on the atmosphere and service of the restaurant. I can say it was a pleasure being able to order a takeaway freely without having to check if it’s coeliac safe. Entirely gluten free and excellent quality food! The sushi was phenomenal and some of the best I’ve ever had! The sushi bowl was also very flavoursome and fresh. Sadly I was a bit disappointed with the soba and felt it wasn’t as flavoursome - that being said I still enjoyed it. I’d definitely recommend and would love to go to sit down in their restaurant to try more!

I ordered the pepperoni pizza and it was absolutely delicious - by far the best pizza I've had in Melbourne! The gluten-free base was a pleasant surprise. It didn't have that typical GF texture or taste that you might expect; it looked and tasted just like a regular base, and importantly, it didn't make me sick afterward. The service was excellent and the ambience was great too. I came with a friend who ordered the vegan chicken BBQ pizza. He was initially worried about finishing it after having a late lunch, but he actually finished his pizza before I did and mentioned it was even better than non-vegan chicken BBQ pizzas he's had before. Thank you, Red Sparrow, for providing amazing pizza options for everyone, especially vegans and those of us who need gluten-free options. Will definitely be coming back!

Amazing Gluten Free and Vegan food. And wonderful service from Ruby. Love you folks. Will be back!

Fairly average meal here. Gluten free bread was pretty poor quality & not toasted well so it was super soggy with the avocado smash. I gather the standard bread is probably better! Service was fairly slow too considering it wasn’t busy and there were plenty of staff.

We randomly stumbled upon this restaurant while trying to find a spot for lunch. Boy were we glad we did because it was an incredible experience. The Dan Dan ramen was absolutely delicious, the sauce was a perfect blend of saltiness and spiciness with peanut flavour too. The Sichuan mala dumplings had an amazing mala sauce that was a very gentle numbing spice with a hint of sweet and tangy flavour too. Our waiter was very friendly and even told us what would be the safest options for a coeliac, very rare for a Chinese restaurant, and my partner proceeded to have a gluten free fried rice that she very much enjoyed and they even provided us with gluten free soy sauce. The owner was also super friendly and from Sichuan herself so you know the food is authentic in flavour. Even the staff shirts looked really cool and we couldn’t resist buying one. We will definitely come visit again next time we’re in Melbourne!

Was delighted they have a gluten free option for the bun, all of the fillings can be done gluten free and they have celiac safe mortadella option.

F Mill

Just had a wonderful lunch with friends, everyone loved their meals! I have been recently diagnosed with Celiac, this place has such a wide range of GF options! And the Mushroom Trio I had was delicious!

Linda Mitchell

Such a warm and fun place. Super accomodating to dietaries, almost all the food was gluten free. Delicious!

Allison Kessler

Really elegant food at reasonable prices. So nice that there are vegetarian and gluten free options for those want them. My favorite was the hummus plate with the authentic chargrilled pita. Delicious! The owner was so friendly. Totally vibed with the restaurant's look and feel. Definitely coming back.

I love coming here and always recommend it to friends! The food is one of my favourites and the service is so nice and caring – the first time I came here was by myself late at night and they offered to charge my phone! 🥺💓 Came here recently with friends and they were very accomodating of dietary needs (although there is no gluten free food available they were really transparent about this and allowed my friend to bring in food from another establishment!) Beautiful part of the collingwood community & plan to come back any time I'm in the area 😊

Chanel Pardoe

Good atmosphere but the gluten free options were very limited.

I love the vibe of the place but even more, I truly appreciated the care taken to provide GLUTEN FREE modifications to the meal without any qualms 2nd Visit: as good as I remembered, I think the Steak Frites needs to be on the menu permanently (pretty please).

Kate Miller

Very fine, high quality, tasty food, super friendly and efficient service. The coffee is my favourite in Melbourne. Creamy and the right strength served in a v cute cup. The setting is a gorgeous old Collingwood warehouse refurbished in Japanese style. The shop is dangerous as all the products are beautiful but expensive as they're high quality items imported from Japan but for one or two things occasionally you can add some very special decorative items to your home. PS there are lots of gluten free options. Almost everything can be made gf. I'm coeliac and have eaten here many times with no issues. The staff are well versed in food allergies.

I absolutely adore this place. I've been in store a few times and had delivery today, and the presentation still stands up so well with delivery! I've had every one of their gluten free onigiri, and the stand outs for me are the tuna, smoked salmon, and ume. I really enjoy the ginger too! You can't forget to grab their chilli sauce too - it's elite.

Gluten free karaage chicken ! Delicious food

Dali Platt

My boyfriend and I walked past this place by chance and were told about a great limited deal Sook are having where you spend $50 and receive a bottle of their house wine. We took a menu home with us and noticed all of the vegetarian and gluten free options they have - which having both recently switched over to a gluten free diet was perfect for us. We made a phone order for pickup and the food was ready in 15 minutes. The food was DELICIOUS. We ordered two soups, a stirfry and the green curry fried rice. The staff were just so lovely and we are excited to have a new restaurant that we will be ordering from regularly.

Amazing Pizza, Beer and Fire! Warm and friendly atmosphere great for a date! Best Gluten Free pizza around! Must recommend

Lara Mellon

This was delicious!! There were so many great gluten free options 😄

David Cabler

A nice cafe with a vast menu, friendly staff who remembers your coffee order. With large seating areas and outdoor seating along Peel Street, this is a must visit cafe. Their food is delicious, offering vegan and gluten free options.

Erin Hutchinson

Gluten free buns are excellent and you know a place is good when the condiment range is expansive!! The burgers are always juicy and cooked perfectly and fries are always crispy and delicious! I keep coming back because they do a gf/df burger so well!

Diana Kim

We ordered catering from these guys, mainly banh mi rolls, for a big function and they were fantastic!! They have a good variety for the flavours, and both their meat and vegan/vegetarian options were delicious. They have rice paper rolls for those who need gluten free diet. Their service was also superb - punctual and their good communication makes them very reliable! There were a lot more banh mi rolls ordered than what is on the picture (I just forgot to take pics midway) and they were put in labelled boxes which made it easy to serve as well! :)) highly recommend!

Lauren Callaway

The food and service were amazing - loved the snacks from the chef. The attention to gluten free requirements was also of the highest standard. Front of house attention was faultless. I love the intimate vibe of the Maha restaurant locations at North and East. Will eventually try the city location but I am a fan

I absolutely love the personalised sushi here, look super cute 😍 They have an amazing range of flavours to choose from. Vegan and gluten free options are also available. Aside from sushi, they also serve fresh juices and smoothies, salads and healthy bowls. This is definitely a must visit cafe in the heart of Collingwood 🍣💚

Cenk

Great gluten free and vegetarian options for some fantastic Vietnamese cuisine. Menu was short and sweet, which is a plus for a large indecisive group

Jean O'Donnell

Absolutely delicious and fresh food! Being vegan and gluten free I accidentally ordered the wrong meal. The owner was so lovely to make me a plate according to my dietary requirements and said we could keep the other for one of our friends. I was blown away by his genuine desire to make good food and make customers happy. Best falafel!!!

Kate C

Best Indian food we’ve had in Australia (we’re from the UK) and great gluten free options. Highly recommend

Jaimie Frazer

Fantastic okonomiyaki. Tasty, labelled vegan and gluten free options. The food is authentic. Staff are very nice. The aesthetic of the cafe is beautiful and very Japanese. I wish I lived in Melbourne so I could come here regularly.

Louise O'Neill

We dropped in to try the ramen and were not disappointed! There is gluten free noodles which is great for allergies. The lobster ramen was creamy and the spicy coriander was fiery and flavourful. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend!

Ue Haru

Vegan and gluten free option! Muffin was great.

Kim Davis

Nice gluten free bread. Most expensive breakfast we’ve ever had. $6 for a piece of bacon 🧐
