My husband and I dined at Inka and it was such a wonderful experience. From the food to the service, cocktails and atmosphere, it was amazing. We ordered the $140 tasting menu and it was absolutely fantastic. Every dish was perfect and flavourful. The whole menu was also Gluten Free within modification (including the heavenly chocolate fondant dessert) which as a coeliac diner is hard to find. The staff were very attentive and conscious of our dietary needs. The cocktails were unlike anything I've had before. I ordered a 'Red Panda' and its one of the best cocktails I've ever tasted. So different but it just worked!! It was an absolute pleasure to dine here and I cannot recommend this restaurant enough! Thanks Inka team!

Lovely dinner - everyone was super happy with their meals - and pricing was affordable so we could get a lot of meals to share - will definitely return! GF was noted on menu (however staff didn’t know an awful lot about Gluten free!)

Ordered gluten free, explained coeliac, said they’d be careful and couldn’t guarantee no cross contamination, fair enough BUT they gave my daughter a gluten tortilla, that’s not cross contamination or being careful it’s pure carelessness. Daughter now the sickest she’s ever been, they clearly gave my other daughter her meal (ordered same but one with gluten free tortilla). Really unfortunate and restaurant was empty so wasn’t like they were busy. No care taken here.

Extensive menu , great food, good gluten free options. Well priced food and wine - especially compared to other restaurants nearby. The veal dishes were huge - could not finish, had no room left for dessert so will be back to try!

Thai place is an institution! The food is always delicious, it’s well priced and service is top notch and friendly. I love the face I can have gluten free food here and the whole family loves the food too!

The food and service were absolutely OUTSTANDING. The owner and staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the entire dining experience even more memorable. Bonus points for the menu having plenty of gluten-free options. I highly recommend the paella and churros—both exceeded my expectations in every way. I’ll definitely be back.

GF ramen was good but seemed to be vegetarian as well when it arrived - not complaining though!

A restaurant with good food and ideal portions for sharing with vegetarian and gluten-free options (although on the pizza with anchovies the menu says it's vegetarian haha). The stuffed peppers were salty for my taste, but the rest of the food was very good, with excellent quality and flavor. The staff's service was excellent, always offering us the best recommendations, which was a success. I would definitely return for the food. As for the atmosphere, it was a bit distracting. The music was so loud that I sometimes couldn't hear the people around me, which caused me significant dysregulation and stress, as I couldn't follow the conversation. On the other hand, after a certain time, the lights would suddenly dim, so much so that between the loud music and the dim lighting, I found it "uncomfortable" 🫠. This is a personal preference and, above all, a warning for neurodivergent and highly sensitive people.

A fantastic experience all round. The staff go above and beyond to ensure a positive experience and that all guests are catered for. Great options for vegetarian, vegan and gluten free diners. The beef was a real standout.

If I could give more stars I would. The second I walked in to Mezzalira it took me back to my Nonnas kitchen. The smells were just incredible and we hadn't even reached our table. The food was simply perfect. It was proper authentic Italian food that was beautifully simple and incredible in flavour. I had a the Tagliatelle carbonara that was just like the food you get in Italy. My husband has the Pork Neck (gluten free options!) Which was delicious. Our deserts were stunning. I had the poached pears which were incredible and my husband got a gluten free chocolate torte which was rich and chocolatey and just divine. The service the whole night was grat. Our waiter was knowledgeable, charming and had a wonderful sense of humor, making the whole night enjoyable! Thanks to the Mezzalira team for a wonderful dining experience!

Line was super long but moved quickly- staff super friendly. Allergy aware - gelatos are GF and labelled with a G if there’s gluten IN it - which is super helpful. Also dairy free / vegan options too. Beautiful interior

Super reliable with coffee, staff are exceptionally friendly and attentive. More gluten free options would be good, especially sweets.

The QT is a nice hotel in Canberra CBD with beautiful views of Parliament House, Lake Burley Griffin and the Black Mountain. The room I had was a good size and clean. And now the not so good things. The bed was extremely uncomfortable. The pillows worse. You're provided with two pillows to choose from, firm or soft. Both are way too high to be comfortable. I'm actually in pain and had two sleepless nights.... But the bed linen appeared clean. Service-wise, I'm not impressed. Breakfast is fine but don't expect much in the way of gluten free. I was told the gluten-free options were in the other side of the buffet... About 6 to 8 slices of drying, almost stale gluten-free bread. The end. The only means to toast said bread was covered in gluten containing bread crumbs which renders that not an option. Today (Tuesday) there were no scrambled eggs on the buffet. I gave up waiting for the chef to come out of hiding to order some eggs so no eggs for me today. Yesterday (Monday) was a public holiday so the restaurant was closed, only bar food available I was told. Now the menu for the bar is a simplified version of the restaurant menu. Some of the dishes are marked as gluten free or having a gluten free options to it for the restaurant menu. The bar version of the menu, nothing. I asked the staff about it and was flatly told there was nothing on the menu gluten free. I don't understand what the difference is. If the restaurant can make the same dish gluten-free, why can't the bar? Then there's the parking. When I first arrived I was charged $8 for less than an hour. I was then charged $60 for two days. I have no problem with the $60, I expected that but the $8? And finally there's the program they have where for each day you hang a sign on the door to not have your room cleaned you get $10. I did this and nothing. The bar staff didn't seem to know what 8 was talking about when I asked about it. At the bar I had a whisky sour. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed them... But $30! Overpriced! A cocktail like a whisky sour shouldn't be more than $15. If you're argument is your using top shelf product them you're butchering the product. QT has the potential to be a really great 4 star hotel but these need to be addressed. And the staff member who welcomed me to the hotel, I wish I got her name was lovely and friendly.
