Top 18 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Enjoy in Pakenham

We were travelling from Sydney and this restaurant was impressive! The Italian food was flavoursome (we went for beef cheeks and seafood risotto). Staff were also able to accommodate for gluten free needs. Awesome customer service. Would highly recommend this place if you live in Melbourne or are planning travel there.

We recently enjoyed a delightful lunch at this cafe. The coffee was excellent and they offer a wonderful selection of gluten-free options. It was particularly thoughtful of them to serve my daughter's lunch with a gluten-free label. I highly recommend this cafe.

The best pizza in Pakenham. Even the gluten free was amazing.

Delicious food and a beautiful selection of cakes! The service was friendly - we did wait quite a while for our food, but they offered us free chips, so we were happy 😊 The gluten free bread was so good that, for a minute, I was worried I was eating normal bread haha. Wish I lived nearby so I could come more often.

Really cute and busy cafe on the corner of Main St. The coffee is smooth, a roaster I'm not familiar with called So Co, a fairly dark roast but not bitter or burnt. Definitely the best coffee option on Main St. The menu is varied and has lots of options for veg/vegan/gluten free, and the food is always fresh - whether I'm getting a smoothie bowl or toast. The standout for me is really the staff and service, they are always so friendly and even during the busiest periods take the time to greet you and always manage to fit me in. I will say when it's full it tends to be very noisy, that's really the only downside. Very much worth your time.

This Nando's has been a pretty solid local staple for the last 7 years or so and is always good if you are after a quick fix (not to mention, they are currently one of only two operating take-away options at this location if you don't count the cafe). One of the few take away options that caters pretty solidly to those that are gluten free, and are a little tastier than their similar counterparts (not to mention more guilt-free). It isn't the cheapest and you won't likely write home about it, but it is consistent and you will get what you are expecting. Most noteworthy is the weekly lunch dates I used to have with my children here where we would walk down and split a seriously large chips 3 ways. It was something fun to do and a good treat on a budget. Is near the top of my list when I am in the market for a chicken and chips treat that is safe for me to eat and would recommend to those in the mood for the same.

Very tasty little restaurant. Never been disappointed. They have a huge range of meals, even catering for vegan and gluten free.

All you can eat Japanese. Say no more? The food is beautiful, with loads of delicate flavours, tender meat and variety. You must try the Agadashi Tofu and the Eggplant salad, which has a rich apple-pie flavour to it. Menu is fairly friendly to people with gluten or rice intolerances (but you must ask specifically). Always very busy at dinner because it's so good, so book ahead.

Best cafe I've ever been to! The people who work here are absolutely lovely, so kind, welcoming and excited to see you. There's heaps of food options ranging from cafe style to take away, to sit down lunch style. The hot drinks are always made to perfection. They offer gluten free options and are happy to accommodate making something special off menu for you if you are coeliac. My favourite thing to order is a gluten free chocolate brownie and an almond milk chai.

We went for breakfast 1st time, often passed this cafe and always busy plus had celiac options. Ordered gluten free poached eggs and bacon on gluten free toast and a lactose free hot chocolate. Meal arrived no bacon when questioned they said i didn’t order bacon the lady taking the orders was in training needs to listen as bacon was clearly ordered and told I could pay the extra for the bacon upon leaving. Also ordered poached eggs and salmon on toast when it arrived the eggs were so small plus the bread wasn’t toasted just warmed and spread with margarine I didn’t complain about the bread not toasted as I was over it. Clearly the lady taking the orders doesn’t know what she’s doing. For $43,one serve a decent size egg and 2nd get the order right!! So disappointing!!

Fantastic personalised service for a gluten free child.
