Top 50 Gluten-Free Mediterranean Spots to Discover in New South Wales

The food was so delicious- we had the $95pp set menu and everything was amazing. Great service, great vibes, great drinks. The lamb was particularly wonderful. They were also amazing at catering for a friend’s dietary requirements (gluten free and dairy free) - lots of the food was still possible and the alternatives were delicious! We’ll definitely be back.

MID Overall, we had a mixed experience – some dishes were delicious, but several service and food issues kept the evening from being truly special. • Tasty mains: The lamb (with potatoes) was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. • Great gluten-free dessert: The gluten-free rhubarb dessert was a wonderful end to the meal – creative and flavorful. Areas for Improvement • Slow service for basics: Water service was slow, and one of our cocktails was forgotten until we reminded the staff. • Service slip-ups: A waiter dropped cutlery near our table, and we were almost served a drink in a chipped glass (caught just in time). • Table clutter: Unused wine glasses stayed on our table all night, which felt cluttered and unnecessary. • No dish explanations: Each dish was delivered with no description or introduction, leaving us guessing what we were eating. • Food quality issues: Some ingredients not fresh – the cauliflower salad had pomegranate seeds that tasted old, and a gluten-free zucchini flower appetizer had an off (fishy) taste. • Burnt dessert: Unfortunately, the churros we ordered came out burnt, which was disappointing, especially for a special occasion.

Asked for a gluten free pizza for a Friend: she says is one of the best she's had. The other two also were very good and tasty. Totally recommend this place

Lyn Dennis

Our group of seven were so well looked after. The extensive Gluten Free menu was well appreciated. So many gluten free desserts, it was difficult to choose. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience. The view is amazing also. Staff were very obliging.

Coeliac friendly

Rebecca Dean

Fantastic food at a beautiful venue. The service was friendly and attentive, and they cater to coeliac requirements in a very welcoming manner! They can make almost everything (apart from the fried options) coeliac friendly, and the banquet and skewers we had were delightful and extremely generous! The baba ganoush and tabbouleh were some of the best I've ever had!

Tara Nath

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed dining at the Mez Club. They do a contemporary take on Moroccan food. Excellent food and very creative cocktails! Many of the dishes are vegetarian and/or gluten free. The crème brûlée is a must try! Staff are lovely.

Had the most delicious bacon and egg roll (with the most amazing gluten free bun) Just delicious! Great service from staff too. I will be back!

David Cullen

WOW - totally 5 stars best resturant in Sydney and if your Gluten Free even better 90% of the menu is fine. 5 stars

Kim Douglas

Fantastic from every aspect. Food was perfect - lamb and fish outstanding. Gluten free bread was great as was the gluten management ;). Hosts were super engaged and helpful and charming. Loved it.

Brian Anthony

Visited twice for dinner during a stay in The Rocks. We absolutely loved the menu items across each course, with amazing flavors and high quality ingredients. The lamb shoulder was “melt in your mouth” tender. Amazing cauliflower side dish. The humus dip is spectacularly good and we fought over that. There were multiple Gluten Free options in each course, even desserts! The team are attentive and genuinely friendly. Cocktails arrived quickly and wine recommendations were helpful. Highly recommended!

Zoe Van Praag

Gluten free options are amazing!! Beautiful food and friendly service. The gluten free kebabs are really nice and prepared free from cross contamination.

Daisy Ng

Wonderful gluten free pita. My boy had the chicken pita bread gluten free and removed the spicy and dairy ingredient in its app. The pita was nice when it was served warm. I had the standard mini chicken wrap. Love this Greek street food. We like the alfresco sitting area too.

Mellisa Fracaro

Really lovely gluten free options. Cute cafe with great service

Jack Zervos

Unquestionably one of the very best dining experiences in Sydney of any cuisine .. Service, quality, freshness, menu choices, coeliac friendly, a wonderful host ... an absolute flawless meal in every way . . Well done and thank you .. you never ever disappoint!

Ljiljana Slavujevic

Disappointing given the $1,200 bill. Service was slow—we waited 45 minutes before being asked if we were ready for food, and drinks took 15 minutes to arrive. Despite paying for 10 people after a last-minute cancellation, the portions for 9 were lacking (e.g., minimal bread, small servings of chicken which was pink, and a shared dessert). A gluten-free guest, despite a month's notice, received almost no food but still paid full price. Additionally, beer prices weren’t listed, and staff could only give a vague price range ($12–$20), which is not in line with consumer pricing regulations - should be reported to ACCC Upon providing the above feedback, management used security footage to confirm the exact pieces of bread and chicken provided..... be so fr

Daisy Ng

It is wonderful to have gluten free and dairy free pizzas and wraps here at Ooshman. The portion were in good size and we were full.

Alicia

Incredible food, service and great Celiac safe food.

Josh Mc

Amazing food but unfortunately this place was very quiet when other places were really busy. I am so glad we came here to help support such a lovely restaurant. Only tip is to serve cocktails in correct glasses (Bellini in champagne flute, margaritas don't go in Martini glasses etc) but otherwise this place deserves to be busy. Will happily come back. Also, PLENTY of gluten free options which is incredibly rare for Italian restaurants in general.

Sarah M

My friends and I had a wonderful dinner here on New Year's Eve. Nothing was too much trouble for the restaurant and they catered beautifully for our gluten-free and vegan guests, and the staff were very welcoming. The food was delicious. Thank you for a lovely evening, we will definitely be back!

Dawn Hasan

This place is AMAZING that it is even better than places I visited in the heart of Istanbul! 100% authentic!! I am visiting from Melbourne with my friend and she took me here for an authentic Turkish cuisine and she wasn't wrong! She wanted me to try the grills but what blew my mind was the stuffed vegetables! Home made with love ❤️ The meats were also very juicey and tender and cooked to perfection! I even took it home re-heated it and it was still very juicey and delicious! Very fresh foods! I am coeliac though and I've let them know I am gluten free and although they went above and beyond and out of their way the stuffed vegetables had bulgur which is not GF so please be extra cautious with allergies guys as coeliac is a very serious disease!!

Kati Ryan

Such a wonderful date spot. Delicious gluten free-knowledgable staff as well. We absolutely love it here and come as often as we can. The staff is 10/10 too!!

Kati Ryan

Love their gluten free options here. They are delicious!! Make sure you let them know you’re celiac and they’ll take good care of you.

Kate Mitchell

What an excellent restaurant! I booked Calico as we were going to a Saturday night show and wanted something within walking distance. It's always a bit of a stressful responsibility booking a new restaurant for a group, but we were all thrilled with the amazing menu and felt very looked after by the staff; Paul was an absolute delight! I had the Wild Shroom dish along with the Coco Loco smoothie and both were fantastic. Our entree was the pumpkin hummus, breads (including a gluten-free option) and burrata and it was all so tasty. Would highly recommend dining here and we'll 100% come back again! Thanks Calico!

Priyanka Sagar

Yummy desserts, lots of variety and flavours, also has great gluten free and vegan options which is rare in a dessert place!

chani eldar

The food is so delicious. The vibes and music are adding to the great kitchen. Lots of vegetarian options. The gluten free roll is incredible. Don’t miss out on best Chai latte in town the only place were I can have my Chai after 2pm.

Oliver Buckley

Great gluten free gyros

Alex Zelenjak

Gluten free pita!!!! Very tasty and lots of options. No photos as was too busy inhaling the trio of dips(get the spicy feta) and the lamb pita.

cheyanne chilby

So authentic, amazing and delicious home cooked food, lots of gluten free options (even their home made corn fritters are gf). Make sure you visit and eat in or takeaway. Beautiful people too, I was amazed.

Michael Barnes

Food was excellent + great care taken with gluten free. We will be back

Vandana Mohture

What a gem of a place! This family-run restaurant provides exceptional service and delicious pizzas. From the moment you step in, you're greeted with warmth and hospitality. The owners are not only friendly but incredibly hardworking, going above and beyond to accommodate special requests. Their mini pizzas and mini pides are perfect for catering events. We ordered them for our son's birthday. I love how they pay attention to every detail, presenting everything beautifully on platters that you can either return or opt for disposable boxes, making cleanup a breeze. Another plus point is the option for dairy-free and gluten-free pizza bases, catering to different dietary needs without compromising on taste. Even my parents, after their recent visit, have joined the ranks of fans of both the owners and their delectable pizzas!

Kerry Stacey

My second time dinning here. The food is absolutely beautiful. The service and staff so friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend Olive Tree Brasserie, you won't be disappointed. Lots of gluten free on the menu as well.Thank you Olive Tree.

Jorja Buckingham

Couldn’t fault this place! Service and food was incredible! Gluten free options excellent! Gluten. Free pizza delicious - fresh base! Will go back

Ally NV

Very friendly family environment, they took good care of my gluten free requirements and the food tasted fantastic! A little small on the portion sizes for a man and a bit pricy but overall very much enjoyed! Apparently the pita bread was to die for!

Muffet Lignos

Best gluten free pizza!

A Liew

Cosy restaurant serving fabulous food in Balmain. Food was delicious and vibrant in taste and presentation. Great service and well priced as well. Ticks all the boxes for a winner local restaurant! Wild weed pie and chargrilled calamari were our favourites. Lots of gluten free options on the menu too.

Omar “The Big O” Eleter

Great place to sit and relax. Good food, great coffee and plenty of dietary options including Halal, Gluten Free and Vegetarian.

Amanda Wyndham

The best pizza, gluten free wraps, chicken wings and hot chips around! Fully tabouli- terrific

Anastasiya Godnova

I went here on Sunday to order a chicken wrap on gluten free pita with extra chicken, and honestly, I wish I hadn’t. I was greeted by someone who clearly didn’t want to be there—no smile, no energy, just a miserable attitude. Wrap was a complete disappointment. The chicken was burnt, barely any sauce, and the whole thing was very dry and flavourless. It was like eating cardboard. Absolutely disappointed. Save your money and go somewhere that actually cares about their food and service.

Shane

Had an amazing lunch at Billy’s. We started with some homemade bread and tzatziki dip, the bread was so fresh and you could tell straightaway it was homemade, the dip was also very refreshing and paired nicely with the bread. For mains we got the fish special which is a whole grilled snapper. The fish was so delicate and basically melted in my mouth. The seasoning was just right and gave the fish a lot of flavour. We also had the beef moussaka which was incredible. The eggplant and potatoes were so soft and the beef bolognese on top was very rich. Finally we had the chicken gyros as well, the chicken was very juicy and all the veggies were fresh. The service was amazing and attentive as well. Always checking on us to make sure we were liking each dish and Billy also came out to check on us which is lovely. They also cater to coeliacs and have plenty of gluten free options. Definitely recommend trying this amazing family restaurant if you’re in the area.

The service we got from El Karim was fantastic! We ordered takeaway and noted in the order our daughter was coeliac to ensure they took care not to cross-contaminate. When unpacking the food we noticed pita breads had been placed in the container on top of the GF Shish. I rang, wondering if perhaps they were GF pitas (they weren't). The owner was so quick to recognise he made a mistake that he instantly offered to make up an entirely fresh order. That was very kind of him, but we didn't need all the food to be replaced. He then offered to just cook new chicken & lamb shish for us and just told us he would deliver them to our door (El Karim don't normally offer delivery). The new food arrived in 15 minutes!!! That was above and beyond great service and we really appreciated it. Oh, and the food was superb too! Thank you El Karim for taking such good care of us!

Erica Fletcher

So so tasty! And happily made everything gluten free. Also loved the cinnamon peppermint tea.

Caitlin

No idea what coeliac was. I understand that it is tricky to cater for but I feel like not knowing what it is interesting.

Maria Pizzillo

Cool atmosphere, kind and welcoming staff, well prepared on food allergies (I’m celiac) and great food. It was a perfect Saturday date with my husband! A special mention to Veronica, the restaurant manager, for taking care of us during the dinner and beyond her duties: it was our first time in Sydney and she gave us very useful advice about the city. For us the place to go when in town!

damien barrack

Food was excellent, atmosphere great and great service. And if you need gluten free, everything is marked and most things can be made gluten free and they are knowledgeable and flexible. It was a great night.

Melissa Henderson

Great gluten free options, warm and friendly staff, prompt service and a handy on site toilet. Stoked with the great variety of GF V RSF slices. Will definitely be back!!

Ethan Huynh

Solid pizza. Also great they have options for gluten free and dairy free pizzas.

Embrace Greek food and culture at Koutouki in Leichardt. Mezze and music is the tag line for Koutouki, a traditional Greek restaurant in Leichardt. As soon as you enter the restaurant, you recognise it’s a traditional spot with the décor and art on the walls. Staff are friendly and welcoming and showcase that Greek generosity of spirit. We are seated fast, and it’s all set up nicely for our friends birthday, where we’re having a set menu. The food transports you back to Greece, and it’s to be shared amongst your friends. It is good to note that 90% is Gluten Free. We share a range of mezze between the table; beginning with a Greek Salad (tomatoes, cucumber, olives, onion and feta), followed by the trio of dips; tarama, tzatziki, spicy fetta and eggplant, served with pita bread. The entrées were sized pieces of beautifully cooked haloumi, spanakopita, and pita, fried calamari – so beautiful, as well as the grilled octopus with oregano, olive oil and lime, and prawn skewers. To share were giant mixed grill platters of lamb, pork, sausage, all sitting on a plate of moreish oregano seasoned fries. Dessert was the famous baklava, or filo pastry, with walnuts and syrup.This was a lot of food and we were so full by the end of the meal and enjoyed it so much. They are fully licensed and wines are imported and can be purchased via the glass or bottle. There’s entertainment too. You’ll find it to be a musical journey with live music in the front room, allowing for diners to enjoy whilst they have their meal. For our event, the attendees even had a bit of a dance. Sit back and enjoy your meal whilst being entertained.

Amy Garden

We loved the food and the friendly attentive service. Came with a vegetarian and a gluten free person and both had plenty of options. Had a great Greek wine as well.
