Meaghan O'B

Came for gluten free options and everything was amazing. Food, drinks. Service. Thankyou.

Alan

My family and I spent an amazing evening mealxhere. The staff were fantastic and the food was out of this world. Due to both my children being coliac there is always a concern about gluten in the food but this was not a concern at this establishment. Staff went above and beyond to assist us. We booked months in advance to get one of the best seats in the house!!!!

Michael Clark

Coconut waffles are gluten-free too! Delicious and delicatessen

Michael Mcloughlin

Stopped by for a quick bite on my first night in Cairns. I’m coeliac and it was nice to see so many options. The chef also came out to double check if I was coeliac or just intolerant which I really appreciated. Maple bacon burger & chips was very tasty. Would go back.

christine Jonassen

Purchased a glutenfree burger as a takeaway and they overdid it severely where it didn't taste like much and was hard

Sarah

Excellent service and even better food. Yaya's is a great family friendly restaurant that caters well to gluten free. Staff went above and beyond

Anna Toq

Best gluten free crepes, very generous with the toppings. We ordered chicken mixed mushroom with avocado pesto sauce & maple cinnamon banana mixed berry compote! Very delicious, will come back when we are back to town!

Leanne Harmer

Delicious burgers and chips. The milkshakes were amazing and the Gluten free bread roll was the best I've had! 👌

Axel Reight

This is a wonderful place to spend an evening … a really lovely atmosphere, the service fantastic, the food and cocktails devine and the chef was so good with accomodating our coeliac. We were so impressed we’ve already been back for cocktails and booked again for dinner.

Amelie Neumann

I am impressed. We had so many options and I got myself a glutenfree and vegan Chickpea Curry, it was awesome😍. And my better half and I had our second anniversary and got a cute designed dessert and got a really sweet decorated table. We sat near the water and had the most amazing view the whole time. Enjoyed it so much.

Alessandra Prado Rezende

Beautiful food, they have gluten-free and vegan options. There are a bunch of different and well served options !

Chris McCombie

A delicious Brunch, Plenty of Gluten Free options with knowledgeable staff that are willing to serve with a smile.

Reuben Grant

We became regulars here by mistake. Seeing a bunch of venues around the CBD offering their various lunch specials inspired our friend group to try them all. But when we got to Tha Fish, we no longer had the desire to continue the food tour. Let’s start with the absolutely amazing $25 lunch deal which comes with one main and a beverage!! ALWAYS DELICIOUS, filling and awesome. But then we look further down the menus and we reallllyyyy start to get into the fun stuff. The gyoza, the prawns, the fish main, the wines on offer … WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TOP SHELF STUFF HERE! And the team are always so happy and helpful. Just old school, good quality service. Plenty of Gluten Free and vego options as well if that’s your thing!! Cannot speak highly enough and will always be returning.

Alice Parkinson

This is a must visit for coeliacs. The gluten free bread with the mussels was incredible and omg the gf pizza bases! Honestly amazing.

Mark GRAY

We attend yesterday and we have two very sensitive coeliacs in our family. The chips are Gluten Free and the kids love eating them. Smoothies and drinks amazing. Staff super friendly great smiles and good sense of humor. We are definitely going back while we are on holiday.

Suzie McMahon

Great Breakfast especially having to be Gluten Free. Good selection on the Menu

Nourishing Life

Really loved having breakfast here! I have a glutenintolerance and dairy allergy, but there were a lot of options to choose from. The espresso macchiato was the best I had in Australia!

Louise Travaille

Wonderful find! Staff were so friendly and accomodating. My partner is coeliac and they really put his worries to rest with their knowledge and care. Breakfast was absolutely delicious and generous servings, and coffee 👌 We will definitely be back. Thank you

Deborah Nguyen

The food is on point. The rohti is made fresh. This burrito made from heaven is so tasty. Don’t get gluten free unless you’re on a diet. Missing out on the rohti was my mistake. After trying a bite of my husbands rhoti roll, I knew my gluten free order was a mistake. Try the beef rhoti roll. It’s soooo fire.

Naomi Arbon

We have been here both times we've been to Cairns and the food is delicious and service is great. My son had no problems as a coeliac with his meals.

Alessandra Prado Rezende

Vegan and gluten free options, very fresh ingredients and amazing service and atmosphere. Great selection of wines.

elizabeth clarke

We came with gluten intolerances, vegetarian, dairy free and shellfish allergies. The head chef came out personally to help us with our order and cater for our very annoying dietary needs. The food tasted amazing and came out very quick. Would highly recommend this restaurant for everyone, as well as people with food allergies. Many thanks to the head chef and other staff!

Valeriya

Really good! The menu is very good, they have gluten free options as well. The portions are very generous I found. Service was good too.

Alisha Dent

The lady that helped me during my meal. As I was after something in particular that I had a few years ago and they were able to cater to my request. God love them. Gluten free pasta is available

Nick Gobin

Awesome burger - huge and a loaded with great ingredients ! Good gluten free options for my wife, helpful and friendly staff. Will absolutely be back again.

Mariem

I went back several times because it was delicious! Being gluten intolerant I was happy to see that most of their dishes can be accommodated.

Chris Burcin

Outstanding food and wine, with plenty of gluten- and dairy-free alternatives that don't take away at all from the core flavours of the dish. I avoid carbs usually but I was not about to miss out on these gnocchi (and I was not disappointed). What sets this place apart is the service. Staff seemed pleased to see each other and were always on hand to ensure our special occasion went smoothly. We were allowed to taste wines (all beautiful) to ensure we enjoyed what we would order. The owner, Keiran, was ever present with a beaming smile. Of all the wonderful restaurants in Cairns, Piccolo Cucina will continue to be our restaurant of choice for special occasions.

Ann-Marie

Not usually a steak girl but was advised this was the best option for gluten free. Really nice tender steak and salad meal.

Howard Elston

Enjoyed a delicious lunch served by friendly, helpful staff. Pleased to see gluten free options available. Relaxed atmosphere sitting in the covered outdoor area.

Lior Seidel

GF pasta & seafood

Jacqui

Had to leave a review to say the Gluten-Free fried chicken burger was the BEST GF chicken and BEST GF burger bun I’ve ever had!! (Why this isn’t already on Google I do not know) but I am SO glad I came across this absolute gem of a place while in Cairns. Partner had the non gluten free and his food was also amazing! Awesome spot, venue, service and seriously best feed… and added bonus - a labelled GF beer completed my ease of ordering (and meal of course). 5 stars cause I can’t leave anymore. Top job guys! Today I ate like I had no intolerances and it was amazing! So if you’re like me and searching for GF meals (and often faces disappointment) look no further!

Marilyn Mather

We had dinner at Rocco last night. We chose the mezze/tapas option. It was surprisingly really filling and delicious! They were able to accommodate my gluten free dietary requirements. The atmosphere was beautiful - panoramic views of the ocean as the sun set. We had the lovely Belu assisting us - she was super friendly, attentive and professional. I also had the Amira cocktail, which was so tasty! We had such a great time, so we’re returning tonight!

Casey R

Absolutely blown away by this breakfast! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From the first bite to the last, everything on this plate was an explosion of flavour. Seriously SO flavourful! And the breaky burger? Don't even get me started – it was equally fantastic. While the gluten-free options were a little limited, the sheer deliciousness of what they did offer more than made up for it. You can tell they prioritize quality and taste above all else. The waiter as well (forgot his name, sorry!) was super hilarious and friendly…highlight of the visit!! I'm already planning my next visit!

Matt Dawe

Only 1 lunch and 2 breakfast Gluten Free meal options. Prime location and friendly service. Playground is fun for kids.

Joo Yeo

Root is the only vegan restaurant in town, even there are gluten free options, serving locals, tourists and districts. You have our community strong support, it is not easy for a small business and they have to think twice to take time off. Please show your love. I do not want another business close down.

Kaylin Hooper

Thanks so much to Jimmy for looking after us tonight. He was particularly understanding and helpful about someone’s coeliac requirement and knew the menu really well.

Sooyeon Choi

Very good coffee! Gluten free friendly cafe. Banana bread was so delicious 😳😍👍🏽 highly recommend

Alex Trkulja

French fine dining in Cairns at its best. The food was presented well, adequate size and delicious. Service was professional, friendly and courteous. Most meals were also gluten free option, which is always a delight.

Arsanto Wibowo

Great atmosphere, you can have a breakfast with stunning view of the beach. Food option also plenty, they offer various fruit, cereal, coffee and main course. Dietary option also incuded Gluten Free they offer. One of the staff, Fenny help us to find perfect table to enjoying the view..

Dan

Blonde haired waitress is Coeliac and was very helpful with the menu. Was a few gf options to choose from

Alessandra Prado Rezende

Gluten free and vegan available. I'm so happy for having discovered it in Cairns. Always a great experience!!! Food delicious. My favourite Indian restaurant in Cairns - and I've tried all of them.

Nicole K

Very happy to have found Bang & Grind on our first day in Cairns. Excellent coffee (when you drink long black this is very important!!), delicious food with gluten free options and fantastic happy, helpful staff.

Karla “Queen Vadelle”

Did try the buffalo wings... not Gluten Free but the sauce was 🤌 Atmosphere was pumping for a weekday and the casual vibe was really refreshing. Happy hour was great. Venue not air conditioned

Sigal

The food was great and plenty of gluten free dishes. I'll definitely be back.

Alessandra Prado Rezende

Great service. There was an error on my order and staff managed it in a friendly and generous way, bringing comfort and trust back instantly. Gluten free pizza was great.

Michael Freeland

We came across this Thai restaurant by accident, and we are glad we did. My wife has to have gluten free and the coconut chicken and the beef pad thai with egg noodles were made accordingly. They were both very delicious and the staff were very courteous with the owner (we think) giving us a nod of acknowledgement. Next time in Cairns we will come again. Also the Portuguese music played in this restaurant was very pleasant to hear.

TheLittleGuy

Some of the best food I’ve ever had, calorie friendly and TONS of vegan, lactose free and gluten free options

Alessandra Prado Rezende

We were vwry happy during our dinner. Gluten-free pasta is available. Penne, but an Italian penne which made such a difference. It tasted homemade, and we had to ask them about it. Vegetarian options available and vegan options possivel. Very tasty food, great service and atmosphere!

Casey R

Great little cafe in the heart of the city!! The food was pretty good and the portion sizes were great too, was quite difficult to finish the eggs Benedict! A few gluten free options and super friendly staff. I absolutely enjoyed my experience here and cannot wait to share it with my friends and family.

Mrs Cee Gee

GLUTEN FREE options which are suitable for COELIACS. We have one sensitive coeliac in our family and no issues. Authentic taste. Kids loved it too. We will be back.
