Top 33 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Cairns City

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5/5 – A Hidden Gem with Something for Everyone! Absolutely loved this little café! One of the standout features is the huge range of options, seriously, there’s something for everyone. They even have separate gluten-free and plant-based menus, which made choosing so much easier and inclusive for all diets. Now, let’s talk food, the chipotle chat potatoes were an easy 10/10. Perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside, soft inside, and packed with just the right amount of smoky heat. Honestly couldn’t have been better. I’d go back just for those. I also tried the Ginger Ninja juice, fresh, zingy (not too zingy), and super refreshing. Exactly what you want in a juice: balanced, punchy, and not too sweet. Service was super quick, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the whole place had a relaxed, easygoing vibe. The location is convenient, and prices are more than fair for the quality and variety on offer. Highly recommend checking this place out whether you’re after a quick bite, a hearty plant-based meal, or just want some standout potatoes. Will definitely be back!

Incredible service, efficient, food was delicious. My sister is a celiac and they adapted perfectly to this, with natural options for it. Our waitress, Ines was very nice and seemed to predict all our needs. 10/10

Hello Harry has been our favourite place to eat in Cairns. The food is consistently delicious and there are amazing gluten free options.

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

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.

Caroline D

Friendly, delicious, gluten-free dairy-free smoothie, amazing coffee drinks

Bronwyn Fury

Gf fish and chips with housemade tartar sauce was amazing. Poke bowl wasn't celiac safe due to soy sauce, but staff were well informed and friendly. We came back anyway for the smoothies, fish and chips and views. The playground outside is also great for kids (although partially under construction for a year).

Gaby Blatter

Very good fish restaurant with seperate gluten-free menu. Also very kid friendly and a good wine selection. Highly recommend

Betty Marhin

Great food, excellent service and lovely atmosphere. We had scallops for entree, risotto and fish and chips and a bottle of sauvignon blanc. Great for coeliacs. A separate menu and attention to allergy.

Sunset view over the water with great service, fantastic margs and delicious food - the gluten free fajitas and paella were amazing!

Emily Trigg

Food is fantastic, staff are attentive and atmosphere is great. Has live music at certain times. So many vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options (some pictured).

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.

Emma Sorrell

We rated this one of the best meals we've had in Cairns for a few good years! Food was so flavourful + lots of gluten free options. Manager is lovely

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.

I just went into this location and was told they do not cater to celiac. They have no dedicated fryers and everything is cooked together on the same equipment. I would not recommend eating here if celiac or have a gluten allergy.

Me and my partner had a lovely dinner here! The food and wine was amazing and the service was great! We shared a prawn entree, mains were the steak and chicken and dessert was the crème brûlée. Fantastic flavors AND all suitable for a coeliac. The waiter really understood what to ask and knew off the top of his head what I could and couldn’t eat and what had risks. Would def recommend and would love to come back if we lived closer

Suzie McMahon

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Sean Fontana

Friendly staff, extremely fresh pasta and very accommodating to my wife’s gluten free needs.

Leanne - WHITSUNDAYS

We as a couple had breakfast here Eggs on toast $13 Added sides which were $3 to $5 each Gluten free bread $3.50 It was nice nothing bad but nothing outstanding. Service was a little slow considering there was alot of staff and no wait for a table, my plate was missing food items that were ordered and on receipt, but very quickly fixed.

I recently visited this cafe and found it to be a solid choice. The fresh juices are absolutely delicious, with a wide range of varieties and variations to choose from. Fresh food, fresh ingredients - all made with love. However, it's worth noting that the gluten-free options are somewhat limited. Despite this, everyone seems to speak very highly of Muddys Cafe, which speaks to its overall quality. I'd definitely recommend it!

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.
