Top 13 Gluten-Free Dining Spots to Experience in Essendon

Kati Keksi

I've bought from Bowls Baby a few times now (in Essendon and CBD) and I always leave full and happy. The menu is 100% gluten free, which works well as none of their menu items need gluten. All the meal bowls are well balanced with protein, carbs and good fats. My go to is the classic Mr G, which has chicken, halloumi and hummus. It can sometimes get a bit salty so I pick out the olives. This visit we also picked up a chilli beef noodle bowl which was delicious. It uses pulled beef which is super tender and the sauce was really flavourful. I tried a shake too, double PB which was excellent. I was worried it would be sickly sweet but it's actually quite neutral. Definitely worth a visit for coeliacs and gluten free folk, as well as everyone else.

Always drove past there but never stopped, one night stopped in for dinner with family. What a great experience! Food and drinks were amazing, staff were friendly and prompt, a awesome night all round. I am also a gluten intolerant and found no issue eating here! The staff were excellent in assisting me with my allergies. I suggest this restaurant to ANYONE! 5 star guys!!!

Beautiful food, wonderful atmosphere and mesmerising decor. We tried the bolognese gnocchi and loved it so much. I opted for the GLUTEN FREE penne which we both tasted and was so good we couldn’t tell it was gluten free! Hot tip: visit the bathroom and press the red button!

My gluten-free partner had the Paleo bowl, which she said was very nice. I had the Chili Scramble, which was also very good. Friendly service, good coffee. Highly recommended.

We have been coming here for the past few years, the food is really outstanding, staff is amazing and overall experience is really fantastic. We have been to some high end cafes as well but we find ourselves coming back to Benny& Me , its just warm, friendly, reasonably priced and just a family atmosphere. Thanks Ben and the staff for looking after us as ever with a big smile. Some great gluten free options too.

Sharon Brennan

Good food. Staff are happy to alter dishes to make them gluten free eg leave the croutons out of caesar salad. Friendly service.

David Morgan

Great food including gluten free options and a keto bun bread option. I hope the other stores do the same.

I never thought I'd find a "good Dominos" but it's this one, this is the good Dominos. Really good about taking Gluten Free seriously too.

Brilliant Thai food at a good price. Able to cater confidently to allergies like gluten and nuts. We were very happy with our meals.

Went there a few weeks ago and we were blown away by the atmosphere, service, and also the delicious food. We all got the feed me menu and it was perfect down to the recommendation on what wine to get with dinner. Also one of our party was gluten free and they accommodated that amazingly.

We went for a late valentines date night and it was better than I ever could’ve expected. I am huge on good customer service and for the owner to be so hands on and friendly was the cherry on top. The food was amazing, gluten intolerant and dietary restrictions were considered. The quality of the food was incredible too. Genuinely such a beautiful place and the energy given to us by the staff was very appreciated. It was actually quite romantic too, candles lit, cosy as hell and ambiance was just right. I actually said to my partner “every bite is an experience” I’ll leave it at that.
