Top 5 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy on Rottnest Island

We hadn’t made a booking but were able to be seated right away with vibrant, warm hospitality and they accommodated my being celiac with the most delicious, creamy gluten-free crab pasta. An impromptu decision with lasting impressions.

I needed Gluten Free peacartarian. We were on a tour booked as an extension of an IP trip with Journey Beyond. Lunch was included. On the menu were two vegetarian options. One was a pizza. The other a cauliflower and chickpea salad with onions. Greens and a fetta and Tahini dressing. I chose the pizza, being tires of cauliflower and greens salads. My partner also chose the pizza. We expected some level of quality in the meal. For both of us, this was the worst pizza ever. The pizza was half raw in the centre, the cheese was only on half the pizza and was only half covering the surface. The inedible dry and hard crust which was inedible when pieced together showed that around 40% of the surface area was covered. See photos attached. I took photos but could not add them Even the parmesan was just thrown over with the same lack of care as the mozarella. The coffee was great. The wine served to my parter was of such poor quality that whe would not order it if there was a choice We felt that the menu offered to people on the same tour was limited and lacked any creativity. We could also smell very fishy hot cooking oil. The waitress was great and apologised and advised the chef of same. However, this should never happen. We walked away very disappointed without wanting desert. To get rid of the raw flour taste, we headed for the ice cream parlour which our taste buds were very thankful to receive great relief.

As to be expected in a busy holiday spot, it is constantly very busy so you order your food and drinks then wait until your name is called. With a big group, lots of standing around waiting and then scrambling to find somewhere to sit with everyone’s bits and pieces coming out at different times makes for a somewhat chaotic experience, but nevertheless, everything was excellent and the coeliac options were a godsend.

In this oasis of tranquillity and luxury, Lontara was a huge disappointment. The ambiance is ok and the wine list is really below average. My missus is celiac so we chose the grilled prawn starter (delicious), then the lamb rendang with rice and asparagus for main. The asparagus was the best part. The lamb was massive, I mean impossibly massive. But while it was very well cooked and fell apart it had zero flavour. Sadly the whole experience is memorable for the enormous, greasy, expensive and flavourless main. Day two we ate Antipasto in our room and it was so much better. My advice would be to avoid. The only plus: the food was genuinely celiac friendly

WOW, the restraint was really busy just before 12 noon, but the staff were very efficient at getting orders taken and meals out to customers. We had a couple of gluten-free requirements within our order which were easily accommodated. All four meals were great. The service at Some Rottnest exceeds that of many franchises on the mainland.
