AMAZING GF PITA! Celiac certified in Australia!

TLDR: amazing service, quality food with good portions, well trained staff, able to accommodate many dietary requirements and accommodate different budgets. - - - - My most recent visit was my fourth time dining at Chin Chin, this time it was with work colleagues for a Christmas lunch. The food was delicious as per usual, and it is worth noting that despite the fact that the restaurant was absolutely packed and insanely busy, all of our dietary requirements were met without fail (lactose intolerance, gluten intolerance). In terms of cuisine you wont find anything “traditional” at Chin Chin, it is Asian fusion at its finest, but everything is well thought out, well balanced and also fun. The service was excellent with the staff explaining each dish, making sure our drinks were topped up, checking in with us in between courses and even taking the time to have a quick chat with our table. Additionally when I passed by the kitchen it was very clear that they had their communication locked down. Always a pleasure to dine here.

Went here last night for an early dinner. They had plenty of gluten free options as well. Great service, very friendly and fast. Would come again

Coeliac proof! 100% safe

Fantastic all round. We didn't have a booking but the staff made room for us. Amazing food, great service and good pricing. My partner is celioac and they brought her a specialised menu and made everything she wanted completely gluten free. They even used a separate fryer for the chicken. Can recommend the feed me option.

We were hunting high and low for Gluten Free options and stumbled upon this little treasure. Great food and the mocktails were delicious.

Lauren Foote

Amazing gluten free Indian food. Safe for Coeliac guests. I wish they did gluten free Naan!

Jacqueline Keene

Loved my time at Spaghetti Tree. First time coming here with a friend and everything was perfect!!! They have good Gluten Free Options too. Be sure to try it!!

House made soda was amazing. I had pineapple and lime. The corn on the cob was very nice. Good spices. I had gluten free and vegan burrito. I've never been able to order that at a restaurant. It was fresh and tasty. It had mushrooms and spinach in it. Very interesting flavours. Only bad thing about the place is that you have to go up stairs to get to the restaurant, but that's not their fault. Very busy place. Loved it.

This cafe is a hidden gem! With an impressive selection of Gluten Free (GF) and Vegan Options (VGO), it caters to a wide range of dietary needs. The charming setting offers both indoor and outdoor seating, perfect for any occasion. The Padre coffee is exceptional, and the breakfast and lunch menu is solid, featuring a delightful array of bagels, including GF options. The American-style menu is a treat, and we were thrilled with the delicious brisket and asparagus. Plus, the staff was accommodating, allowing us to customise our sides to perfection. Highly recommend!

The food is nice, thought it was a bit expensive for what it was, and could do with more rice. Lots of gluten free options, and nice staff.

Love this trendy open kitchen Japanese restaurant. Counter seating is fantastic to view the food being made and prepared in the busy open kitchen. Food is delicious and lots to choose from including vegan gluten free options. Constructive feedback, drinks slow to arrive and dietary codes are needed on the menus. I booked counter seating but was sat at a dining table. I mentioned this to the host and was then seated at counter seating as booked.

Carol Schefe

The staff were so helpful and lovely. The food absolutely beautiful, we totally enjoyed it all. The catering for gluten free options was wonderful the little bread roll so moist and delicious.

I've been to Bomba twice and amazing food on both occasions. Most recently I had meal for a friend's birthday and it was for 14 people. Everyone had a great time. They catered to all the various dietary requirements (coeliac, vegan, pescetarian and the list goes on). Everyone ended up leaving full and we were very well looked after by the staff. Amazing resteraunt and great for the big group celebrations. Thank you Bomba. We'll be coming back to try the rooftop bar.

It goes to show that there is a reason why the Grossi restaurants are still alive and kicking after all this time. From the start to finish the experience was spot on. Our server was extremely knowledgeable, I required gluten and nut free which was not a problem. The GF pasta was house made tagliatelle! The portion sizes were great as of course was the quality of the food. I can highly recommend!

Deb Wise

Food was fantastic, great gluten free assortment

KC

Absolutely love Pinchy’s! The food is fresh and delicious, the cocktails are top-notch. The staff were very friendly and went above and beyond to ensure my strict gluten-free requirements were met (shout out to Brady!). The classy, cool vibe of the place adds to the fantastic experience. Highly recommend, easily one of the best places in Melbourne! What a gem!

Domenic Carosa

Great bbq meats place. Their ribs and brisket are tender and very yummy. Many gluten free options also. Old style decor.

Bruton Family

The best gluten free bread I have ever had! I got the white sourdough and the sourdough with olives. I didn’t have any of the desserts or the coffee, but they looked divine. It is just a small little place, more for takeout than dining in.

Emma Damen

There are so many gluten-free options, including dumplings . Our new favourite 😍 amazing service and cocktails 🍸

Ruwi W

Nice bar with a good selection of cocktails and nibbles. Perfect for intimate catch ups after work with a cozy feel. Staff were friendly and accommodating for my gluten intolerant friend.

Sophie

What really impressed me was the staff. They were friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was sophisticated and elegant. They offered delicious gluten-free bread and a good selection of gluten and lactose-free dishes. Overall, the food quality was excellent. Highly recommend!

Cath Riches

Service was terribly slow last night. My daughter’s entree came out without anyone else’s. She finished it before the waitress came over to say the one I had ordered couldn’t actually be made gluten free. Grateful they didn’t just serve me a meal containing gluten, but ridiculous that my daughter had finished her entire meal before they let me know and that the two other members of our party were still waiting to receive their entrees. By the time the mains came out, we had been seated for half of our allocated booking time. And then one main was missing. I questioned the waitress who said it was coming. We finished all other food before it turned up at our table. Only had our water glasses refilled once too. Food was delicious but when you are paying premium prices, this kind of service is unacceptable.

Dan Frank

Very accommodating, considerate and helpful. Catered to all our needs vegetarian, and gluten free. A genuine feel of Italy. Worthy restaurant.

Sharon Tooley

Good simple burger. Well cooked - not dry or dripping in fat. Not over loaded like a lot of burger joints where it’s difficult to eat. Good gluten free options. Chips are excellent.

Domenic Carosa

Another great cumulus experience. The food was delicious and service 5 stars. Many gluten free options including the lamb shoulders, Ortiz anchovies with gluten free bread. Their tasting menu is highly recommended so that you can taste a bit of everything. Booking in advance is critical as they are always busy.

Ellie Nash

My partner and I ate here for his birthday last night & everything was amazing. I have coeliac disease and the restaurant catered to my dietary needs so well & made me feel very comfortable- Our waitress, Sarah, was so lovely & accomodating especially. We really enjoyed all of our food & it was all very fresh. We will definitely be coming back 😊

Ali Clarke

Exceptional food and exceptional service. From the moment we arrived and were seated the wait staff were fantastic. They were very friendly, courteous and very familiar with all the menu. One of our friends was gluten intolerant and they were very accommodating. The food was beyond delicious it was exceptional. Absolutely 5 star service. We will definitely be back. Thank you to all the staff for making our evening so memorable.

Alexandra Valentino

Officially my favourite Grill'd restaurant after my experience tonight. To the lovely gentlemen who took my order, you are a genuine asset to Grill'd. The girls are honestly the sweetest. Thank you for always going above and beyond. Clean, quiet, super friendly customer service, ample seating including outside and upstairs. Only downside is parking is limited but that's a City Of Melbourne, not a Grill'd problem. Caters to vegans, vegetarians and low gluten customers. Very highly recommend.

Really cool bar! They even do gluten free beer, which is amazing! The spirits were nice too, but a little expensive. The decor is really nice, would love to come back when there’s dancing downstairs - can imagine the atmosphere is great! All the staff were very pleasant and accommodating.
