Top 50 Gluten-Free Pet-Friendly Spots Across Australian Capital Territory

Coeliac gluten friendly. Dined here a week ago when visiting Canberra. It was an amazing dining experience catering for gluten free needs. The whole restaurant is totally gluten free - wow! The waiter was superb and gave us very good suggestions for ordering our share plates. The live piano music really added to experience and ambience. The food was outstanding and a real treat for everyone in our group, but especially so for the Coeliac diner. Loved the decor. Loved the staff. Loved the music. Loved the food. Even if you don't require gluten free, I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Amazing food and vibes, lots of vegan and gluten free options and you can't even tell which is unheard of. Coffee slaps too, highly recommend for all lunch and brunch dates

Fleur Hagen

This place was awesome! The service was great! Very friendly and quick even though it was super busy. The boss had put enough people on - good work. Lots of gluten-free desert. Will be back!!!! This is a must go. 🙌

The best Italian resturant in Canberra!! I have been here many times, and each time the food is AMAZING!! Their gluten free options are plentiful, and they take great care in no cross contamination and also offer celiac friendly and vegan options!! The pizza and pasta is phenomenal, and the service is kind and fast and taken with great care!! 10/10, love this place

Teagan Vaughn

This place is like heaven for gluten free people, 100% recommend. You can pick anything on the menu without having to worry about cross contamination and the food is amazing. They also have a fridge full of gluten free food that you can buy like ravioli, breads, pies and cakes.

Kat G

Entirely gluten free menu including a delicious Nutella brownie! The staff was great!

Jordi E

Great Asian fusion with friendly staff happy to talk through the menu and offer suggestions. including plenty of gluten free options. I would certainly come here again.

Omid Rezvani

Great food and great service! I forgot to mention gluten-free in my order, and they kindly replaced it very quickly for me!

Terrible allergy care! This has happened both times I've gone. I have a dairy allergy and have coeliac. I've asked for a soy latte and they then not only used almond milk but then also used unclean jugs meant for full cream milk(terrible health safety practices) which means anyone with a nut or dairy allergy could no longer drink it. My worry now is if they had used the oat milk it wouldn'tv'e been coeliac friendly. Coffee tasted nice but made me extremely sick. Please do better.

Lonneke V

Everything is gluten free and delicious. Staff is super friendly.

Grace Rodrick

All of the bakery treats are delicious here! Few gluten free options too which is awesome. Absolutely recommend sitting outside for morning tea/afternoon tea on a sunny day.

MICHELLE O'SULLIVAN

What a delight! Gluten free waffle cones and dairy free, gluten free ice cream… is this heaven? I wish I lived in Canberra and wasn’t just visiting. What a lovely little place with such great atmosphere and friendly staff. Might have to squeeze in a second visit before we leave!

Jacques Schroder

Went here for a casual lunch with the work mates. The pizza was excellent and there is a wide variety of different meal options. If you need it there are even gluten free options for those so inclined. The beer is really good and they have some local craft beer options. Ordering is easy and the service is quick and efficient. Food was all brought out to our table outside without too much of a wait. I would go back there for sure.

Shelly

We enjoyed a wonderful meal here and were impressed with so many gluten free options. We will be back!

Matt Malone

Rosti is next level. Best breakfast in Canberra. Gluten free too!!

Ruth Larner

We were really disappointed. We drove 20 minutes from our hotel to have breakfast at Local Press, a place we’ve enjoyed in the past while visiting Canberra. It seems like the cafe might be under new management. The menu has changed, even though the website still displays the old one (there are no gluten-free pancakes anymore!). While I’m sure the new owners are nice, the experience is not the same, and the food is definitely not of the same quality. My salmon nori eggs benny had about one flake of nori... Please update your website!

Alecia Lowe

Amazing Gluten free bread! The Breakfast Sandwich was delicious and great coffee.

Luke Hobbs

Amazing food had the beef burger The best gluten free bread I have ever had My friends had the pork hash special was also brilliant

Tracy Wilcox

Fabulous burgers, chock-a-block full of delicious ingredients. I had the vegie and haloumi burger with a great gluten-free bun. Buzzy brewery atmosphere with great beers on tap.

Levi Carroll

Delicious gluten free options

Scott McRae

One of the best breakfasts going in this part of Canberra. Get in! Great gluten free options too. Very nice atmosphere and excellent staff.

Laura Smith

Enjoyed a delicious gluten free waffle with fresh fruit and gf chocolate muffin a few weeks ago. Also good veggie options for my partner. :))

The food was INCREDIBLE! It was super tasty, there were labels on the menu for Vegan, Gluten Free and Vegetarian which was awesome and the service was great. The only issue is that with our designated seating time, our food was delayed and came out 10 minutes before we had to be out. But I would recommend the later seating if you are to go, because the food and drinks are definitely worth it.

Zoe C

Kids eat free Monday nights, lots of gluten free options. DJ bingo was good entertainment.

Eeny Hake

Quick service, friendly staff, delicious food, good gluten free options and a very nice atmosphere; a truly wonderful place to come for a quick brunch on thevweekend

Maggie Cooper

Hannah Essex

Really good selection of gluten free meals and our salads were delicious 😋

Ilse Buma

3 minutes before the kitchen closing they made me a lovely steak burger, no bun they did have a Gluten Free bun available but I took a pass. Needed protein no carbs. Thanks guys for great service!!

Janay Lauren

Had a gluten free bagel here and it was fantastic. Nice vibes and friendly staff too

I have had Brod before but this one didn't hit the spot. Firstly, the wait time was insane for a quiet Friday lunch and one burger order. I would hate to go on a busy weekend and be in a hurry. Had a gluten free veg burger. Their gluten free bread was so dry - so many burger places in Canberra do gluten free bread well so this was disappointing. The thinnest driest haloumi slice drowned by oily vegetables that tasted half cooked which given the wait time seemed a bit silly. So much capsicum! The burger sauce had been poured on and was oddly spicy which must be to make up for the lack of seasoning on the cooked veges. I think I'll try the vegan burger instead next time. Their onion rings had a thick batter which was a welcome change from other burger joints. Appreciate that aioli dipping sauce didn't come at an extra cost. Staff were nice but one person in particular seemed incredibly fed up - as was I by the end of it all. Won't be going back any time soon. Interestingly never had a bad experience at the one at Capital Brewing in Fyshwick.

I've had the pleasure of visiting teddy's cafe a few times now, and every visit has been a delightful experience. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty breakfast or a satisfying lunch, this place has something for everyone. Here’s a breakdown of my favorite visits! On my first visit, I couldn’t resist trying the pancakes. They were absolutely divine—fluffy, light, and topped with fresh fruit, syrup, and a generous dusting of powdered sugar. It’s the perfect way to start the day! Next time, I went for the breaky roll. Honestly, I think this is one of the best breakfast rolls I’ve had. Packed with savory flavors, the combination of eggs, beef brisket, and delicious sauce in a soft, fresh roll is just unbeatable. It's such a comforting choice and really hits the spot. Another visit, I opted for the classic avocado on toast. It’s so simple, but they really elevate it with perfectly seasoned avocado, a touch of lemon, and a sprinkle of white chickpeas. The texture of the toast is spot on too. If you’re looking for something fresh and light but still satisfying, this is a top choice. I also had the egg and bacon roll, and it was just as good as the breaky roll. The bacon was crispy, the eggs perfectly cooked, and the roll itself was soft but had the perfect crunch when toasted. It’s the kind of meal that feels both indulgent and comforting. What I love most about this cafe is the gluten-free options available. There’s a fantastic selection, so anyone with dietary restrictions won’t feel left out. From gluten-free pancakes to rolls, the variety ensures everyone can enjoy a delicious meal. And let’s not forget the coffee! Every cup I’ve had has been rich, smooth, and just the right strength. They really know their coffee here, and it’s the perfect pairing with any meal. Oh, and if you're in the mood for something a little different, the strawberry matcha is a must-try—it's refreshing, unique, and absolutely delicious! What truly sets this cafe apart, however, is the staff service. The team is always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to help. They go out of their way to make sure you're enjoying your visit, and the service is quick without compromising on quality. You can tell they truly care about providing an excellent customer experience, which makes each visit even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a spot that combines great food, an inviting atmosphere, exceptional coffee, and outstanding service, this cafe is hands down one of the best places for breakfast or lunch. Can’t wait for my next visit!

After having a not so great experience, we appreciate the cafe taking the time to hear us and listen to our concerns No one came over to greet us etc, had to walk in because we weren't even sure if they did table service. They finally took our order, never checked on us, refilled water etc. We paid and they charged us for a dish we didn't eat. We had to call and get a refund and they were very rude about it. Waitress seemed a bit annoyed as we had dietary requirements (gluten free/halal) Noticeably two people who came after us were looked after well, served food promptly etc Not gonna come back here at all, and will tell others to avoid. UPDATE: After posting this review, there are two other POC groups that have posted around the same time as us. I recall this as well as they weren't being served as either, and they also refer to the couple I mentioned above that received their food before any of us, noticeably they were not POC. It seems they are appropriating aspects of Asian food but reluctant to serve them when they come to their cafe. UPDATE UPDATE: just wanted to follow up and say that we got a call back to personally apologise for the experience we had here. Its very commendable for them to want to reach out and fix the situation and we really appreciate them taking the time to understand our feedback. Sometimes in service bad days and interactions can happen and what we perceive can be different to people's intentions. Thank you for the call!

Always a safe bet. Good food. Good coffee. Lots of tables. Can easily find lots of gluten free options on the menu.

Catherine JM

We were looking for venue that offered gluten and dairy free food to hold our mother's 'Celebration of Life' event after her funeral. Rosemary by EightyTwenty was perfect! We had just over 30 people and I was able to organise in advance for a variety of delicious, fresh dishes to share, all gf and df and the whole event was very reasonably priced. Everyone commented on how lovely the food, service and venue was. We were also able to bring our own alcohol to have a toast to our beautiful mother. Organising the event with Patricia was easy and efficient, especially considering the difficult time it was for us recently losing our mother at Christmas time. I highly recommend Rosemary by EightyTwenty for a delicious meal or a venue for your function.

Frea H

Busy Friday evening but managed to get a table. Large share meals were delicious and staff were all friendly. Didn't get orientated to the ordering system when seated but worked it out eventually. Options galore and veg/gluten free friendly.

Andrew Huston

Ordered take away last night for three people. They were the smallest portions I have ever come across. The plastic container was around 20% filled. The butter chicken was average. On a good note the Naan bread was very good for a gluten free bread. $91 for very small portions is only good for the waist line.

Jason Herbert

We loved it, Andy and the Team are amazing and very accomodating for me gluten free requirements and the portions of everything was perfect thank you

Nick Benjamin

Great little suburban café with good coffee and friendly service. Gluten free and vegetarian options available.

Kym Russell

Great beer options, food and service. The gluten free pizza base was decent too!

Karl

Great selection of craft beers and food - with gluten free options. Staff were friendly and helpful. Always such a good vibe.

Thomas Gaukroger

The team at Smoko are something else! Amazing bunch of people with equally amazing pizzas. They take gluten free (coeliac) seriously and make the best GF bases I've ever encountered. The atmosphere is incredibly inviting with chilled vibes, smiles on faces and a welcoming greeting every time you enter the door. I cannot recommend Smoko enough!

Ed Yan

Amazing addition to the vegan scene in Canberra but you don't have to be vegan to enjoy this place and if you are a sceptic of plant based dining then come here to be shown how good it can be. Every drink and dish is beautifully presented and oh so delicious, from the inventive cocktails to the cheese mochi dumplings, mushroom karage and of course the ramen of which there are a few choices. Great to see lots of attention to gluten free. Lovely service, too.

Ms Hood

Cubano with pickles Gluten Free

Kenneth Neven

I forgot to order a gluten free bun today and the staff swapped it over. Thank you. Food, coffee and service was awesome.

Wendy Bennett

The fog lifted to allow us to see the magnificent views of winter in Canberra. The cork tree forest is a must see, just a short 10 minute easy walk. Bonsai art is fascinating, take the time to read the details of the artists. Sadly limited gluten free options in the cafe, the young staff not very knowledgeable about what GF is .

Bec S

Fantastic food in a gorgeous little garden with lovely staff. Great gluten free options.

Ellanna Barling

Always exceptional but now they've opened for dinner. The menu was vast and had a wide verity of food options, things ranging from Vegan and Vegetarian options, as well as Gluten friendly if you ask the waitresses. A kids menu is also provided on the back to keep the little ones happy :). The service was quick and was seated by a professional waitress upon entering. The drinks menu had alcoholic as well as non, included smoothies, juices, bottled drinks, wines, beers, and spirits. Ordered an entree of Braised Oxtail which the oxtail was super tender, moist, and fell apart once you put it in your mouth. There was deep fried cheesy gnocchi, which was very mourish with a red wine jus to make the meal connected. I then ordered Salmon Picatta (GF) for main, the salmon fell apart like butter and was plated with a lemon butter with capers. It was accompanied by grilled asparagus and herb roasted potatoes with the skin still on as well. I then ordered dessert which was a Warm Chocolate Brownie (GF), the brownie had a salted caramel sauce with raspberry gel and chocolate chunks, the brownie also came with ice cream. All in all, a first class experience and I will definitely be visiting again.

If you are Gluten Free and Mortgage free you can afford to pay $13 for Gluten Free toast, peanut butter and honey!!!

Holly D

Overall, a good little spot on the lake for a coffee and bite to eat. I really like the Cat’s Panama’s coffee. I was happy to see gluten free french fries as perfect for my little one and hard to find where no gluten items are cooked in the oil. $7.50 for GF toast that is tiny and 2 slices, i’d suggest giving 3 slices at least or drop price a bit.

Ken Hill-power

A bit on the pricey side but food was delicious and coffee great. I had smashed avo, medium size serving and gluten free options available. Dirty chai coffee was one of the best I have had.
