Top 9 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Mudgeeraba

Love the vegan gluten and dairy free options on their in-house menu. One beef dish was a little salty but was quickly swapped for something we liked. Service was excellent with a very passionate chef selling us on some delicious takeaway desserts. Their homemade Russian fudge is a must!

The atmosphere of the place is very pleasant, with a cozy décor and suitable music that enhances the dining experience. It has a warm, inviting feel that makes it a nice spot for casual dining. We ordered two pizzas (one margherita for $23 with an additional order of olives for $3, and one ham and pineapple for $22, with a gluten-free base costing an additional $5 and vegan cheese for another $4) and a drink (a Lemon, Lime, Bitters for $5) at 6:45 pm. According to the prices listed on the menu, the total cost of our order should have been $62; however, the amount charged to the card was $64.01. The drink was delivered 25 minutes later, and the pizzas arrived 43 minutes after we ordered. The margherita was flavourful with fresh basil and the added olives, while the ham and pineapple had a nice sweetness from the pineapple. Unfortunately, one of the pizzas was noticeably burnt. When we informed the waitress, she responded, “That pizza is not burnt,” adding that “this is normal for pizzas with a gluten-free base.” She reiterated, “That pizza is not burnt.” (See the photos for your own reference) Although she offered to bake a new one, her attitude showed clear annoyance. It would be helpful for the staff to receive additional training in customer service to handle such situations more smoothly. The replacement pizza arrived 10 minutes later and was perfectly baked. However, the waitress commented, “Some people like their pizza doughy, and others prefer it well-cooked,” and added, “We didn’t know what your baking preference was for your pizza.” This kind of communication could be improved by asking for customers’ preferences at the time of ordering to avoid misunderstandings. Compared to previous occasions when we visited this pizzeria, this time there was a clear decline in both the level of customer service and the quality of the pizza. The margherita was delightful, but the service issues overshadowed the experience. Overall, I felt that the experience did not match the value for money, especially given the wait times and service issues. While I still enjoy the atmosphere and the menu options, if the staff can improve their communication and service approach, it would greatly enhance the dining experience.

Mudjira is arguably the best cafe on the Gold Coast. From the extensive gluten free selections, to the incredibly friendly and swift service. The team are delightful and the business seems to be really inclusive. The customer service on the Gold Coast is terrible, but this cafe is the exception to the rule! It’s a hidden gem.

A beautiful high tea celebrating the Mother’s Day weekend! Service and food was exceptional. They catered so well too for the children’s high tea, my kids just loved it. I am gluten/dairy intolerant and they had a great selection for me, particularly the gf/DF scone was just delicious. Will be back for another high tea indulgence soon x

We just had the best meal. The Gorgious waiter got my daughters and I in last minute. The customer service was so good. I had forgotten what good customer service looked and felt like. I would come back just because of the good customer service. It felt like family they were so warm and personable. We really get the service out for dinner any more. Incredibly refreshing. The food was incredible. The margaritas were ridiculously tasty. We will be back many times I can’t recommend this place enough. It would be really good for big celebrations. Also it’s well set up for this, we also had gluten intolerances. There was plenty of food available for us.

First time trying this restaurant and I am so impressed! So many gluten free options, and the chips are so yummy! I had the BBQ Bacon Burger on gluten free bread with small chips, and it’s filling and delicious. Everyone was so lovely!
