Top 10 Gluten-Free Pet-Friendly Spots to Explore in Fortitude Valley

Malina Author

The staff were absolutely amazing and accommodating. Our waiter ensured that we were all served and looked after and a shout-out to Millie (I hope I spelt it right!)! She made sure the birthday cakes were presented nicely and that we were looked after throught the few hours we were there. The food was outstanding! It was one of the nicest Asian restaurants we've been to in a long time. Servings are a decent size and great quality. We had a coeliac member of family with us and they have so many gluten-free options! Usually difficult in Asian restaurants. Cost is reasonable for what you get. The only issue is parking (like anywhere in the Fortitude Valley). Highly recommend 👌

My wife is celiac so this place is fantasy. Quality food and a great price

Not as good as expected. Also not gluten free as it is all cross contaminated certainly not a place to risk of your celiac

Great Food, great gluten free options! Would totally come back!

Authentic Japanese cuisine with friendly service, izakaya style. iPad ordering system per table, with quite an extensive menu. The beef tataki was good with grated raw garlic as a garnish which packed a good punch, the pipi sakamuahi (steamed with sake) was also flavoursome with ponsu sauce, and sashimi ship all very fresh. The squid sashimi was also well prepared with the slices cut to the right width to match the thickness of each portion, which gives a pleasant mouthfeel and texture per bite. They also had the body/mouth of the squid served as sashimi with the tough parts removed, which I think I've never had before outside Japan. Very nice. Shishamo tempura was fried well, as was the cream croquettes and beef kushi katsu (katsu on a skewer). Even the dressing on the small accompanying salads was good and memorable. Grilled mackerel portion was generous and suitably fatty to be washed down with a beer. Kids had a curry which they also enjoyed. Standout for the evening was the deep fried flounder. It may not sound like much of a dish, but when correctly done the whole fish minus the head can be eaten. Here the fish was filleted and each piece cut into bite size pieces which was good, but the bones, fins and tail were deep fried in a single piece. The whole lot can be eaten with a unique taste and texture, again I've never seen this served up like this before around here. Desserts selection was also pretty good, and they didn't skimp on the ice-cream in the parfaits. They also had sakura dango, a glutenous rice cake thinly wrapping a sweet red bean paste, but with an outer layer of a salted leaf from a cherry blossom tree. Somewhat rare outside of Japan, it was a great mix of sweet and savoury flavours with the unmistakable sakura aroma. Highly recommended for an authentic dining experience. Definitely worth a repeat visit to try out the rest of their menu.

I did celebrate my birthday there last Friday(March 01) and it couldn't be better! I bought the promotional "celebration package" available until this month(march) for 15 guests and every single guest went out very happy after that. It's been my third time visiting the venue. The all staff from, the floor to the management, were very attentive and careful to make the experience as worthwhile as possible. I had a guest who is gluten intolerant and the chef made an unbelievable gluten-free pizza!!! And also I made a mistake with my booking and they did an incredible job fixing it and I could enjoy my party with no problems at all. The booths reserved were very cozy and fit everybody wonderfully. To sum up, we had a lot of fun and I looking forward to going back I hope you guys keep the celebration package available for longer.

Excellent food and service. Went out of their way to provide vegan gluten free option.

A lovely location on James Street for an outdoor yet sheltered drink. Plenty of seating and small and large table options. Good fans for when it's hot. Food is of a good standard and many gluten free options for those with the need. Would be nice to see a gluten free beer on offer (not Hahn ultralight). Can get very busy on a Friday or Saturday night though. Prices are a little on the steeper side but it is trying to be a more upscale establishment so I guess this is to be expected.
