Top 26 Gluten-Free Cocktail Bars to Experience in Melbourne

AMAZING GF PITA! Celiac certified in Australia!

Argentina Cabrera

The best Mexican I have ever had!

100% gluten free menu, didn’t get sick after as a sensitive coeliac. Came here on a double date and got the $69 per person feed me. There was SO much food, we have an appetite and came hungry and we could not finish it all, which was a shame as it was incredible. We have been coming here for years but truly every time we come back it somehow gets better. The staff are awesome & accomodating and really helpful, they made me a super zingy spicy margarita which was great too.

No longer 100% gluten free, and can’t even cater for it adequately despite saying they can on their menu - didn’t notify us until 30 mins before our booking despite us specifying “gluten free” in our booking 5 days in advance, and couldn’t offer substitutions for their set menu (their menu now says only a couple of things aren’t gluten free, but we were told anything on the grill is no longer gluten free, so the menu is incorrect as well). To make matters worse, they take the full amount from your card for the set menu at the time of booking upfront, and then you have to wait days to get your money back if you’re not going. This place was an institution for coeliacs - if that’s why you were going, don’t bother.

The fully gluten free place was fantastic. I had the arancini balls. Thoroughly recommend. My friend had pasta which he also enjoyed.

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.

Fletcher Ormrod

Nice spot, tight and cosy with pretty of good options across the menu (including for those who are GF/Celiac like myself). Can be a bit loud considering the reasonably small space but no big deal

Handy place to eat if you’re heading to the Regent or Athaneum theatres. Great atmosphere. Emma looked after us beautifully. Plenty of gluten free options. Only one GF dessert but it was full of flavour.

I am so glad I found this joint! A cool space with a good atmosphere and excellent customer service. If you’ve seen any of my food posts you’ll know I’m that person with a ridiculous food intolerance that is usually not considered. Here it was! They have a separate emu that lists the items open for vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, fructose free, onion free and garlic and onion free! What? So good! My bloke and I shared a few dishes when eating out for the first time in… for ever! Delicious cabbage and pork dumplings, legit fried rice, crispy pork belly and eye fillet steak - we had sauces on the side for him to enjoy and me to avoid and both thoroughly enjoyed a top notch, tasty meal along with a couple of crisp and light rice lagers. I bought some of the yummy smelling teas to go. A first class experience. Thanks!

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.

Sammi Shimmin

Stunning Sunday out - throughly enjoined the Gin High Tea! We had a big group and were really well looked after by Jack, Dani and Ella! The cocktails were really special thanks to Emma and Serena behind the bar. All of the food was super yum, vegetarian and gluten free also well accounted for! Would definitely recommend for a special occasion or just a weekend treat! So cute and fun x

Phil Nicholson

Excellent spot especially for food allergies. Wife and I had an great 3 course meal that cater for low fodmap and celiac diets. The staff were super friendly and knowledgeable about our requirements and there recommendations of baked brie and the risotto were spot on! The low fodmap wagyu burger was one of the best I have eaten. This meal was the highlight of our stay in the city. Will definitely be back and will bring more people :-)

Cheryl Bentley

We enjoyed the set menu dining experience and enjoyed every mouthful. We were greeted with a tasty cocktail and then the food came out soon after. I have a gluten and dairy intolerance and was catered for very well. Staff were efficient and friendly. Nice place for a romantic/ quiet meal away from the hustle & bustle of busy Melbourne.

Rose Graham

Beautiful food, great vibes, friendly staff. Reasonably pricing for size & quality of meals. This was mid November, so Christmas decorations around the fed square area. My gluten free pals were very happy with their meals. Lots of seagulls around pecking at people's food scraps when they left.... Whilst amusing for us, glad it wasn't to our own food.

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. 👍

Love me a good burger, and these ones were good! The chef cooked the patties to our liking (can't stand overcooked meat!) The gluten free buns were lovely and soft too 😋. Service was a solid 10 as was the food.

Grace B

Food and service were great. They have gluten free options available. Cocktails are yummy. Staff lovely. It was a little loud and hard to hear conversations with the music and big groups.

Kathleen Rocha

Dine in- the restaurant is fun. Staff are really friendly, killer menu. We managed to get out of there without ordering dessert but I still have that bucket thing on my mind. I had the chicken burger. Sauce and cheese were super tasty. And the chicken was high qual. My partner had the GF burger and the bun was decent (for being gluten free).

KC

Absolutely love Pinchy’s! The food is fresh and delicious, the cocktails are top-notch. The staff were very friendly and went above and beyond to ensure my strict gluten-free requirements were met (shout out to Brady!). The classy, cool vibe of the place adds to the fantastic experience. Highly recommend, easily one of the best places in Melbourne! What a gem!

Emma Damen

There are so many gluten-free options, including dumplings . Our new favourite 😍 amazing service and cocktails 🍸

Maryann Larkin

Came here for dinner tonight with my mum and a couple of friends, we didn’t have a booking but Katie got us seated at the bar and got us a table ready. Mum and I are gluten free so Katie took the time to run through everything we could eat and then her and the team made the whole dining room experience so enjoyable. The food was good, the vibe was great but the staff was better. We’ll be back xx

Renee T

A great authentic Mexican experience. Had the 'Tres Amigos Meal' as the kunch special. Excellent value and totally delicious! Also had fabulous Strawberry Margarita I ordered with the lunch special. Will not be leaving hungry! Great gluten free options as well. Thank you!!

Matthew Clark

Delicious food, great service. I came here with my pregnant and gluten-free wife, and the chef and wait staff went above and beyond to accommodate her. 10/10 would come back soon!

Mark Terei

Best hotel restaurant I have been to in memory. The staff are genuine and caring and the food is exactly what you hope for: served hot and clearly fresh ingredients with good flavour. I had a few meals here including dinner and breakfast and had to ask a couple of questions about my dietary requirements (gluten-free). The staff were authentic in checking with the kitchen for me and the kitchen made some very thoughtful changes to the dishes in response. Indian fried chicken and seasonal vegetables were hot and delicious. I don’t write a lot of reviews but I had a great experience here.
