Top 24 Gluten-Free Restaurants to Explore in Fortitude Valley

Came to Bird's Nest to catch up with friends. The atmosphere is incredible, very warm and inviting. Food and drinks were amazing, such good flavours! Normally only two skewers per serving but were kind enough to add an extra so every member of our three person party could have one. The servers were awesome, very attentive - regularly checking on water and filling glasses and taking empty plates. Excellent gluten free accomodation and understanding. Will definitely be coming back, 100%.

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 👌

The staff was incredibly accommodating, ensuring that all of our dietary requirements were met—from gluten-free to vegetarian and everything in between. Everyone had a fantastic time, and the food was absolutely delicious! The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, making for the perfect setting to celebrate. Huge thanks to the team for going above and beyond to make sure every guest had an enjoyable and personalized experience. Highly recommend Maya for any group gatherings or special occasions!

Great gluten free pizza base!

Sexiest vegetables of my life. The space, service and food are sublime. Very accommodating of gluten free dietary requirements. We had the best time. There should be an Agnes in every city.

Great Gluten free spread/options. King Prawns dish was great

I have been here multiple times and the food, service, ambience and drinks are beyond exceptional every time. The food is not only excellent but mine and my partners gluten-free needs are completely catered for and I have not yet had an experience of being glutened via cross-contamination or being given the wrong dish. The staff are very perceptive and assertive, doing things such as asking to hang up my jacket when I remove it, offering expert advice when asked for a wine pairing, making a custom cocktail to suit my partners taste… I could go on. Please, never change.

Samuel Dariol

Delicious! We ordered some gluten free pasta, made at the restaurant, and it was one of the best we've had. Staff were lovely. Definitely going back!

Alex Hardy

Such a good spot for people who are on a gluten free diet. Got to eat things I haven’t been able to have for years wish there were stores in nz

Shintaro Toriyabe

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.

It’s a great traditional Italian restaurant! They don’t have gluten free pasta or pizza however there are some gf options for mains (some are also dairy free)

Venice Emery

A fun and stylish Valley pub! The vibe is local business lunch and end of day drinks meets fun night out. 🥗 I love anchovies in my Cesar salad! And here they have real anchovies on Parmesan covered crispy cos with crunchy bacon morsels. The burger is buttermilk chicken on a gluten free bun - and the gf bun is one of the good ones! 🚗 There’s a little bit of parking for sober bae’s like me.

We went to the Valley store before a movie at the Palace. We questioned the waitress if the Crispy Burger was gluten free and she said it was. My husband is Coeliac. During movie my husband was feeling sick. We went back and questioned restaurant and they then said the burger bun was gluten free not the ingredients. How ridiculous!! We are very disappointed and would think twice about going to this place again. They didn’t even reply to my previous email!!

Bree Mcgirl

Such a great spot! They have the best coeliac friendly gluten free food. The venue has a great cosy atmosphere and the staff are super friendly! Bloodhound is one of my favourite spots in Brisbane by far

We had a delicious meal at Short Grain last night. The food was excellent, particularly the whole fish, stir fried veggies and the fried rice. Sensational flavours. We loved our lemongrass martinis, beautifully chilled and not too sweet. The service we experienced was top notch and so helpful. We would definitely recommend Short Grain for lovers of unique and well paired Asian flavours. It was super easy to be a gluten free diner as well as most of the dishes fell into that category. The only suggestion we would make would be to perhaps space the tables a little bit more and maybe a bit more mood lighting (though we were eating early, so perhaps that was the distraction). Don’t let these suggestions deter you though from a visit, the food and service is so worth it.

10/10 Burger, Great Gluten Free Options. Coeliac Aware, Bun was very good.

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.

Good food and drinks in a modern, chic designed restaurant, although expensive. Oysters & sausage rolls starters were delicious - the salmon entree was unique and a highlight. The strip steak with duck fat potatoes was also very good, one complaint being that a blunt knife with a fatty steak was frustrating, but can’t fault the flavour. Dessert pavlova was well done. Gluten free friendly. Prices were high, but portions were decent. Drinks were nice but nothing exceptional. Would return for a special occasion!

Ben Thomas

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

Matt Llamas

Incredibly gorgeous restaurant with a wonderful bar and lovely staff. I was seated and served efficiently, there was a very impressive range of food options to select from. I absolutely love the way they season and cook their vegetables. The beef was so mouth watering and tender. The only thing I would love to see from this place is more gluten-free pasta options.

Michael Storrs (Mickey D)

We have been here twice. Once before I was diagnosed a coeliac and both times have been amazing. Although they didn't have a gluten free pizza base, the gluten free gnocchi was amazing. The other option would have been penne pasta. Great atmosphere and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Edit. Third time here and still amazing.

Jodie Hyde

This place has amazing food that tasted super tasty, had plenty of gluten free options for coeliacs, very attentive and friendly staff, yummy cocktails, awesome DJ and wonderful managers! Plus the ambience of the place is very funky and cool. There was a slight error with our bill, being the last in the group to pay, however the manager was extremely understanding and promptly fixed it for us. THANK YOU! Everyone must eat here at least once in their life but I’m sure you will want to go back again and again, as we do!
