AMAZING GF PITA! Celiac certified in Australia!

Hannah Frank

Stunning cakes and giant delicious toasties

Daisy-May Creighton

Delicious food with an extensive GF menu! Great prices, very careful with allergen consideration and overall a great place for a bite to eat pre-theatre or just for a nice meal at a casual dine in establishment!

Argentina Cabrera

The best Mexican I have ever had!

TLDR: amazing service, quality food with good portions, well trained staff, able to accommodate many dietary requirements and accommodate different budgets. - - - - My most recent visit was my fourth time dining at Chin Chin, this time it was with work colleagues for a Christmas lunch. The food was delicious as per usual, and it is worth noting that despite the fact that the restaurant was absolutely packed and insanely busy, all of our dietary requirements were met without fail (lactose intolerance, gluten intolerance). In terms of cuisine you wont find anything “traditional” at Chin Chin, it is Asian fusion at its finest, but everything is well thought out, well balanced and also fun. The service was excellent with the staff explaining each dish, making sure our drinks were topped up, checking in with us in between courses and even taking the time to have a quick chat with our table. Additionally when I passed by the kitchen it was very clear that they had their communication locked down. Always a pleasure to dine here.

Coeliac proof! 100% safe

Went here last night for an early dinner. They had plenty of gluten free options as well. Great service, very friendly and fast. Would come again

Siobhan Blake

Great gluten free and vegetarian and vegan options.

Erin C

Amazing food and catered for my coeliac daughter with loads of GF options. Very accomodating and she had a sign at her place so all the staff knew she was GF.

Mari Grundvig Hvidsten

Great for allergies! Gluten-free options, and also onion- and garlic-free sauces😊

Sheree Gillen

We were hunting high and low for Gluten Free options and stumbled upon this little treasure. Great food and the mocktails were delicious.

Jacob H

Fantastic all round. We didn't have a booking but the staff made room for us. Amazing food, great service and good pricing. My partner is celioac and they brought her a specialised menu and made everything she wanted completely gluten free. They even used a separate fryer for the chicken. Can recommend the feed me option.

Lauren Foote

Amazing gluten free Indian food. Safe for Coeliac guests. I wish they did gluten free Naan!

Errin Lunnon

Amazing experience at MoVida, the first restaurant I’ve been to with dedicated celiac friendly options for almost every menu option! Food and service were exceptional, would recommend

Mark Kentwell

This cafe is a hidden gem! With an impressive selection of Gluten Free (GF) and Vegan Options (VGO), it caters to a wide range of dietary needs. The charming setting offers both indoor and outdoor seating, perfect for any occasion. The Padre coffee is exceptional, and the breakfast and lunch menu is solid, featuring a delightful array of bagels, including GF options. The American-style menu is a treat, and we were thrilled with the delicious brisket and asparagus. Plus, the staff was accommodating, allowing us to customise our sides to perfection. Highly recommend!

The food is nice, thought it was a bit expensive for what it was, and could do with more rice. Lots of gluten free options, and nice staff.

Jacqueline Keene

Loved my time at Spaghetti Tree. First time coming here with a friend and everything was perfect!!! They have good Gluten Free Options too. Be sure to try it!!

Lorena Stanmore

Delicious Korean BBQ experience. Meat quality was superb and service was excellent. My partner is coeliac and they took such a good care we had the best experience. Highly recommended

Kate Paul

House made soda was amazing. I had pineapple and lime. The corn on the cob was very nice. Good spices. I had gluten free and vegan burrito. I've never been able to order that at a restaurant. It was fresh and tasty. It had mushrooms and spinach in it. Very interesting flavours. Only bad thing about the place is that you have to go up stairs to get to the restaurant, but that's not their fault. Very busy place. Loved it.

Monique Szeligiewicz

Gorgeous venue! Staff were attentive at the appropriate times, loved the rice cakes (actually preferred the gluten free ones over the regular). Lobster rolls were delicious and the snapper was a stand out!

Tofu

Amazing gluten free food! Ask for the menu :)

Adrienne Emmett

It's nice enough, though very crowded with the seating. I'm Coeliac and I only had 1 Entree option, 2 Main options and 1 desert option. I picked the Dahl, but to be honest, no better than what I get locally and far more expensive. Not somewhere I would pick.

Love this place & all the SanTelmo Group restaurants! Having moved from Bondi we are always looking for fresh, bright food with the emphasis on fresh vegetables & protein rather than carb heavy meals. The experience was made even better by HENRY our waiter. A good waiter can make or break an experience, HENRY was not just good, he was BRILLIANT! Knowledgeable, friendly and very attentive especially with regards to checking Gluten free options/ modifications. THANK YOU

ORDERED: Tasting Selection ($45.00pp) 🐟 Kingfish sashimi: ponzu yuzu, chilli oil, shallot 🦪 Baked scallops: on shell, Vietnamese potato cheese sauce 🥣 Green Chicken Curry: Bamboo, capsicum, zucchini, snake beans, fried kale 🐖 Crispy Pork Belly: Chinese celery, puffed rice, coriander, caramel soy sauce 🍚 Coconut rice We spent $51.77 each for 2 people, which included juice! REVIEW: 📖 I love Kiss & Tell's approach to affordable food. For $45pp, we got to pick 2 entrees, 2 mains and a side dish which turned out just to be the right amount of food for us! When you can also pick what to get from the menu to make up the Tasting Selection, it's hard to go wrong (unless you pick things you don't like). 😅 ❤️ My favourites from our selection: 1. Baked scallops. The Vietnamese cheese sauce was heavenly and added this savoury kick that I appreciated. It's a classic treat that always goes down well. 🧀 2. Green curry chicken. The fried kale was an excellent addition to the dish that added an amazing savouriness and texture. Fried kale is my kryptonite and it elevated this dish to drool-worthy heights. ☘️ 3. Coconut rice. It's a simple thing but incredible when restaurants go the extra mile to drown the coconut rice in coconut milk and give it the royal treatment it deserves. 🤍 Big love to the kitchen for the amazing food we had that night! My friend is gluten free. The food we had didn't detract from my experience at all. I can see why Kiss & Tell were so popular on a Friday night - it was packed to the rafters by the time I left! Bookings HIGHLY encouraged. ⭐ Service lost points on being unable to manage my water levels. I never got a refill on my water cup (sad) and would've appreciated a carafe if my water wasn't going to be topped up throughout the night. 🌧️ Other than that, we found that our food came out in a pretty timely manner! No complaints here. 👍

Service was terribly slow last night. My daughter’s entree came out without anyone else’s. She finished it before the waitress came over to say the one I had ordered couldn’t actually be made gluten free. Grateful they didn’t just serve me a meal containing gluten, but ridiculous that my daughter had finished her entire meal before they let me know and that the two other members of our party were still waiting to receive their entrees. By the time the mains came out, we had been seated for half of our allocated booking time. And then one main was missing. I questioned the waitress who said it was coming. We finished all other food before it turned up at our table. Only had our water glasses refilled once too. Food was delicious but when you are paying premium prices, this kind of service is unacceptable.

I've been to Bomba twice and amazing food on both occasions. Most recently I had meal for a friend's birthday and it was for 14 people. Everyone had a great time. They catered to all the various dietary requirements (coeliac, vegan, pescetarian and the list goes on). Everyone ended up leaving full and we were very well looked after by the staff. Amazing resteraunt and great for the big group celebrations. Thank you Bomba. We'll be coming back to try the rooftop bar.

Staci Hosking

It goes to show that there is a reason why the Grossi restaurants are still alive and kicking after all this time. From the start to finish the experience was spot on. Our server was extremely knowledgeable, I required gluten and nut free which was not a problem. The GF pasta was house made tagliatelle! The portion sizes were great as of course was the quality of the food. I can highly recommend!

Deb Wise

Food was fantastic, great gluten free assortment

Carol Schefe

The staff were so helpful and lovely. The food absolutely beautiful, we totally enjoyed it all. The catering for gluten free options was wonderful the little bread roll so moist and delicious.

Peter Spencer

We love supporting the restaurants that have some character. This was the perfect example of a friendly, stress free restaurant that we would come back to repeatedly. Food was great, and as the cherry on top they dealt with our allergy needs brilliantly (coeliac).

Domenic Carosa

Great bbq meats place. Their ribs and brisket are tender and very yummy. Many gluten free options also. Old style decor.

Bruton Family

The best gluten free bread I have ever had! I got the white sourdough and the sourdough with olives. I didn’t have any of the desserts or the coffee, but they looked divine. It is just a small little place, more for takeout than dining in.

Sophie

What really impressed me was the staff. They were friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was sophisticated and elegant. They offered delicious gluten-free bread and a good selection of gluten and lactose-free dishes. Overall, the food quality was excellent. Highly recommend!

Maria M

Best place ever! Feels like home! Plus they accommodated my dietary requirements - best gluten free/low fodmap pesto pasta. Highly recommend!

Madeleine Mariani

The staff here are amazing. Made gluten free dining very easy! Great food.

Sharon Tooley

Good simple burger. Well cooked - not dry or dripping in fat. Not over loaded like a lot of burger joints where it’s difficult to eat. Good gluten free options. Chips are excellent.

James King

Fantastic experience. Food was great, came out exactly when we wanted it to and was delicious. The 600g Ribeye was cooked to perfection, lots of flavour and plated well. The staff were extremely attentive always making sure our water was filled without ever having been asked or looking for them. Really comfortable seating and not packed together. Cocktails were great, staff were knowledgeable about variations of classics and proactive in giving me a choice. The only thing I think could be improved is that I really wish they would have a dedicated gluten free fryer so I could have tried the baby kipfler potatoes which my other guest thoroughly enjoyed. But I understand limited space in the kitchen might make this implausible, and I still really appreciate the NOMAD groups consideration of allergens when devising your menu and training of staff who knew exactly what I meant when said celiac. If you have celiac disease I would recommend coming here again and again.

Ruwi W

Nice bar with a good selection of cocktails and nibbles. Perfect for intimate catch ups after work with a cozy feel. Staff were friendly and accommodating for my gluten intolerant friend.

Natali Larroza

Lovely to find a Mexican restaurant with Spanish speaking staff. Drinks were amazing and lots of gluten free food options. Highly recommend.

Kate Miller

Absolutely flawless, loved every moment, every bite. They even made the amazing banquet/set menu option gluten free. I also highly recommended taking that option that as it was a wonderful way to try a lot of dishes.

Daniel Wu

The restaurant is cozy and the service is great, making for a really nice time. They have traditional Cantonese dishes and some special ones too, like steamed fish, lobster with noodles, and crispy roasted pork. The chicken soup is really good too. The food is made really well with just the right amount of seasoning, so you can taste all the different flavors. The staff is super friendly and helpful, whether you're ordering or eating. They're always there to make sure you have a good time. Oh, and they have gluten-free options too. I highly recommend this place for groups.

A R

Exemplary service. Really delicious food. Easily handled my gluten free needs. Bonus points for proper nice stemware!

amazing food, beautiful staff and great if you're gluten free/ coeliac/ gf

Adrian

Close to a 10/10 experience. We came here with a gluten, dairy, onion & garlic intolerance and they were able to cater for us. The service was close to perfect as the waiters were knowledgeable and helpful especially with the food intolerances. One of the ladies gave us a customised menu which showed us which foods we could and couldn’t eat. We ordered the scotch fillet which was cooked medium rare without us asking how we wanted it cooked. Luckily, we love medium rare steak and this steak was phenomenal!🥩 We also ordered the fries / chips which tasted like McDonalds. We loved these.🍟 Lastly, we ordered the fried rice which tasted amazing. 🍚 Our order came to $187 including a $17 Sunday surcharge. We would definitely would like to come back and definitely would recommend to others. The only thing that’s stopped me from rating this five out of five, was that I asked if there was any decaffeinated espresso martini, and the waiter never got back to me. I also think the menu prices were a little high. Thank you Coda.

Katherine Miller

Absolutely flawless. Dinner was spectacular - the food, service, ambiance, we loved it all. We will be back for sure! I’m gluten free and they definitely cater well for coeliacs. The gluten free bread was delicious!

Ali Clarke

Exceptional food and exceptional service. From the moment we arrived and were seated the wait staff were fantastic. They were very friendly, courteous and very familiar with all the menu. One of our friends was gluten intolerant and they were very accommodating. The food was beyond delicious it was exceptional. Absolutely 5 star service. We will definitely be back. Thank you to all the staff for making our evening so memorable.

Alexandra Valentino

Officially my favourite Grill'd restaurant after my experience tonight. To the lovely gentlemen who took my order, you are a genuine asset to Grill'd. The girls are honestly the sweetest. Thank you for always going above and beyond. Clean, quiet, super friendly customer service, ample seating including outside and upstairs. Only downside is parking is limited but that's a City Of Melbourne, not a Grill'd problem. Caters to vegans, vegetarians and low gluten customers. Very highly recommend.

Great service and atmosphere. There weren't many options for me (Coeliac and vegetarian), but I ordered a salad. It came with an ingredient I don't like and was not on the menu (green beans). They took it off our bill which I really appreciate. I'd come back for a drink, but not the food, though my meat eating friend liked his food. I'm sure the food is good if you're not Coeliac and vegetarian.
