Tanja Mih

The restaurant staff is very friendly, the restaurant is clean, the food is delicious. We will definitely be back again. Especially since they are safe for celiacs. We recommend them!

Lily Kane

Always great, my local pub and eat here all the time and never been sick

Annette O'Dell

Best gluten free Pizza I’ve had maybe ever. So so yummy. Great vibes and great service, cannot recommend enough!

Ana Castro

Love the chicken soup but paying $3.50 for one slice of tiny gluten free bread (not gf by choice) is a little steep. Sometimes I’ve had two slices, sometimes one thick slice… sometimes grilled other times not - not consistent

I ordered gluten free food as a celiac and got very sick the next day so I cannot recommend it for gluten free people

Fantastic cafe, delicious food, relaxing and cool ambience, and charming staff. We came a bit late and the kitchen was closed, but the staff were very kind and accommodated us where they could, ensuring the experience was still great. They made sure to cook our gluten free meals for our coeliacs with care, so we felt very reassured. Awesome coffee too!

Ange Sharpe

Delicious pizzas including gluten free bases; fantastic variety Great range of cocktails and friendly service

Kim Peterson

The mushroom pho is to die for!! The broth is so rich & tasty, not bland like vegan pho often is. And just look at all those mushies!! So incredibly tasty, by far the best vegan & gluten free pho I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!

Caitlin Clifton

Exceptional food, thoughtful and attentive service and great gluten free and vegetarian options. Already planning to go back!

project 281 in brunswick is a masterclass in how to run a cafe. the staff are ridiculously good - fast, professional, and always up for a chat. the turnover here is low, and it shows. they actually know the menu, they work like a team that has been together for years (because they have), and they are hyper-aware of food allergies. more than once, i have forgotten to ask for gluten-free, and their habit of repeating the dish when they serve it has saved me from myself. the vegan options are also numerous and delish. the food is unreal. the eggs on rice is hands-down the best value breakfast in melbourne. the breakfast benny nails that rich-but-balanced sweet spot. the gluten-free bread is so good i would order it even if i could eat the regular stuff, and you can get nearly anything on rice instead of toast anyway. the chorizo eggs with whipped feta are absolute sybaritic luxury, and then there is the steak sanger - even if you’ve had it before, it still manages to surprise you. the human brain cannot fully hold the memory of that sandwich, so every time feels like the first. the space itself is stunning - open and airy without feeling cavernous, brutalistically beautiful, full of big, fat, stupidly healthy plants. when it is raining, it is magic: all that glass, all that concrete, and the sound of rain pounding the roof while you chew contentedly. there is also a courtyard area, perfect for a sunny brunch or a quiet moment with a coffee. tucked away but still part of the action, it has that rare balance of being open yet intimate. and the coffee? obviously, it is good, this is brunswick, but project 281 roasts their own beans in-house, and you can taste it. smooth, rich, never bitter. so good, i always get a second cup, sometimes decaf, just to prove to myself it is not the caffeine talking. the location is also bonza. right off sydney road, a hop, skip, no need to jump from the number 19 tram. two minutes from brunswick station. and if you are driving, there is cheeky parking at woolies across the street. if you want a cafe that gets everything right - staff, food, coffee, atmosphere - this is it.

Been meaning to try for a long time as it is local. We will definitely be back. Yummy food! Clean, good service with a funky vibe. Also lots of Coeliac options. Highly recommend.

Had a not great experience at this cafe yesterday, which is a shame as I otherwise really love the place. Despite discussing my gluten intolerance I was given regular wheat toast (not what I had ordered) and only realised this after a couple of bites. The staff member who made the error was lovely and apologetic. When I went to settle up I paid for the meal as normal, which I didn’t think too much of it at the time, but in hindsight it occurred to me that expecting a customer to pay full price for a meal that has essentially compromised their health does not provide a strong incentive to return (nor does it give the appearance that food intolerances are taken seriously). If you are a gluten intolerant or coeliac person I would be extra-cautious when eating here.

Isaac Webb

Best gluten free muffins I have ever had by far

Sara James

I had saganaki with cherry jam and it was whole cherries, it was delicious. Then mixed souvlaki, also really good. There is a really good wine list and lots of gluten free options (my friend is celiac). Re some reviews about price, it’s a Restaurant inner north and it’s good, price reflects location etc. How else can a Restaurant stay open. I was at a table of 4 and we were given a special cocktail after dinner thoughtfully concocted based on our drink orders throughout the evening! These two guys were really professional and friendly.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Zambrero's, and my experience was elevated significantly thanks to a remarkable employee named Jack. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the vibrant atmosphere and the enticing aroma of fresh ingredients, but it was Jack's exceptional service that truly stood out. Jack greeted me with a warm smile and a friendly demeanour, instantly making me feel welcome. His enthusiasm for the menu was contagious, and he took the time to walk me through the various options, highlighting the unique flavours and combinations available. As someone who can be indecisive when faced with a plethora of delicious choices, I greatly appreciated his patience and expertise. What particularly impressed me was Jack's knowledge about dietary preferences and restrictions. He was attentive to my needs and offered insightful suggestions for gluten-free and vegetarian options without missing a beat. His genuine interest in ensuring I had a great dining experience was evident, and he went above and beyond to customise my order to perfection. When it came time to prepare my meal, Jack's attention to detail and skill were on full display. He crafted a burrito bowl for me with precision, ensuring each ingredient was fresh and proportionate. The result was a delicious, satisfying meal that exceeded my expectations. Beyond the food, Jack's positive attitude and excellent customer service made my visit memorable. He checked in with me after I started eating to ensure everything was to my liking and even offered a few extra tips on how to enhance the flavors with their various sauces and sides. It's rare to encounter someone who is not only proficient at their job but also genuinely passionate about creating a wonderful experience for their customers. In addition to Jack's stellar service, the overall ambiance of Zambrero's was inviting and clean. The modern decor and comfortable seating provided a pleasant environment to enjoy my meal. The restaurant was well-maintained, and the staff seemed to work seamlessly together, contributing to a smooth and enjoyable dining experience. In conclusion, my visit to Zambrero's was outstanding, thanks in large part to Jack. His exceptional service, combined with the delicious food and welcoming atmosphere, makes Zambrero's a standout choice for anyone looking for a great dining experience. I highly recommend stopping by and, if you're lucky, you'll get to experience Jack's top-notch hospitality firsthand.

Very fun place to go for Dutchies and non-Dutchies. Great food, good service. They sell some Dutch pantry staples as well (drop, hagelslag, kruidkoek…). There are gluten free options available. I’ve shared the Bitterballen and Kapsalon. Also enjoyed the Frikandel Speciaal and Patatje Oorlog. They have a very good range of Belgian and Dutch beers. Last time I visited they had Delirium on tap. Non-alcoholic options available too.

Paula Phillips

Great coffee, incredible toasted cheese sandwiches. My fave is the mushroom one 😋. They offer delish GF bread and do all that they can to keep coeliac's safe. Love coming here to my local.

John Raberaba

Gluten free options and a different twist on the standard cafe fare. Maybe just a bit pricey for the more basic offerings but value otherwise.

McIntosh Family

Couldn’t fault this place. All Gluten free. Gorgeous food, amazing cocktails and the staff so friendly and helpful.

Victoria Marsh

One of my fav breakfast spots in Melbourne. I would cross the city in peak hour traffic for their gluten free, vegan avocado toast. Chai latte is always good too. Staff are lovely, ambiance is really cool. Have never tried anything else and I couldn’t be happier. Will be back soon!!

Indy Neale

So many gluten free options! Staff are friendly and attentive. Great cocktails and cool vibes.

d Spit

Great food and coffee. Lots of gluten free options.

Sarah Elali

Great family friendly atmosphere with plenty of comfortable seating options whether you want to sit in, out, or in between. Nice selection of local beers and spirits, they’re all a step up from the typical ones you see, which was great. Some lovely different ones on offer too. Food menu represents Brunswick really well - Aussie takeaway goes overseas with pizza, dim sims, potato cakes and shawarma! Lots of vegan and gluten free options. It’s roomy, but still cozy, festive and clean. Well worth a visit.

Abigail Pruijmboom

Amazing coffee, people and atmosphere. The Vegan and Gluten free muffins are must!

Hanh Nguyen

A great place for delicious affordable food, attentive service, and a range of board games for all different levels of skills. Ben is very generous with getting you familiarized with the games in store. Cocktails are the cheapest I've seen in Brunswick and there's a huge variety. Many vegan and gluten free food options. Always a great time when we're here.

Eliett A

Best gluten free Parmi I’ve ever had! Huge portions, good service, good atmosphere

Mathilde Chagneaud

So happy to have found this vegan place. I had a lovely coffee and a take away gluten free savoury tart as well as a mushroom toastie. Delicious food and gorgeous atmosphere. Finally the music was great. Highly recommend.

Jen Jewel Brown

Found this place almost by accident, but really enjoyed the warmth and casual vibe, fast service on a busy, rainy winter night and simple menu. Waitress was quick to help with suggestions re veg, vegan and gluten free options. Mohito was tasty but alcohol content a bit lower than usual. Seated me despite obviously being pretty busy. Enjoyed the cactus and Mushroom tacos and guacamole. All very fresh and corn chips were particularly crisp and original. Managed to park in the United op shop parking lot next door, after hours.

Matthew Scott

Great food Fantastic service. Were able to cater for gluten intolerance for most things on the menu

Ben Bayley

My daughter has coeliac and she really enjoyed the GF pizza base. For two pizzas, jug of drink, caramel milkshake and one lemon meringue pie, it was $76.

Jen Jewel Brown

Love this bar, specialising in gins and good service, with heating outside on a cold night to warm good company in a covid-safe manner in a pretty laneway space tucked away from Sydney Road. The vegetarian gluten free platter went so well with a great expresso martini. Vegan chocolate blocks on the menu too! Prices quite reasonable.

Patrick Leahy

Delicious breakfast food for a good price! Nice location and friendly staff. The halloumi toastie was a delicious cacophony of sweet and savoury that delights the taste buds with every bite. Chorizo toastie was everything you could every want with generous servings of cheese. Gluten free options available which is always a plus.
