The food was incredible, loved everything! We had the banquet and I’d definitely recommend doing that as you got to try so many excellent dishes. They are so good at gluten free too! Can’t wait to go back.

Great food - great presentation and freshness. Accomodating - I booked for 3 course meal for my friend’s birthday. She is gluten and lactose free so it was great she was given option in the menu, which she totally enjoyed.

Some days you just want a Ruben for breakfast and a well made coffee. Can’t thank the team here enough for looking after me. All the toasties can be made on gluten free bread so this is my favourite “I’m a little hungover” breakfast spot.

Gluten free calamari were delicious, perfect snack with a glass of wine. Main courses were very good too, generous portions. Very pleasant, professional and friendly service.

We had an amazing experience at Bosco! The food was incredible—tasty, surprising, and perfectly cooked, with high-quality ingredients that brought the flavors of Spain and Italy to life. They kindly prepared a gluten-free and dairy-free menu for my partner, offering options that allowed him to enjoy almost every option available :) The venue is cozy and intimate, despite being in an industrial area of Newstead. The thoughtful interior design, with curtains and pendant lights, creates a private and welcoming atmosphere. The open kitchen adds to the experience, letting you watch the chefs in action. We highly recommend the clay pot, Bosco croqueta, and baccala mantecato. The waiter was super friendly and helped us choose the perfect dishes. Amazing food and service—we’ll definitely be back!

I had a great first experience at Mecca Bah, so we decided to have my friend's birthday dinner at this place. One of the worst decisions I've made since disappointing doesn't even cover what happened there. We had to wait 20 minutes just to be served, and a further 30 to 40 minutes for the food to arrive when the place wasn't even busy. There was a waitress who basically ignored us while the other waitress was hurrying around and apologetic about our wait. Worse still, the food was absolutely terrible this time round. Gone was the tender and juicy lamb skewers. What arrived was basically lumps of tough and chewy jerky with some burnt bits. The rustic smashed potatoes were more like undercooked boiled potatoes, which was extremely disappointing (see photo). We also ordered a gluten-free lamb roast pizza for a coeliac friend and emphasised on the coeliac bit. The previous time, the pizza was amazing even with the gluten free base, chock full of delicious lamb, rocket and sauce (see photo attached). This time, the pizza base was basically a chunk of undercooked play dough, and there were so little toppings I was wondering how it even got sent out of the kitchen. All we got was less than a handful of lamb (see photo) and cheese. No rocket, no sauce. On hindsight, we should have sent it back instead of continuing to eat but we were starving after the 1 hour wait for the food. The worst part of this was that the food was not handled properly, and our coeliac friend had an extremely bad reaction to the food, which did not happen during our first experience. It's ridiculous that we paid extra for gluten free but it was not actually gluten free. When we provided this feedback to the staff, the waitress was extremely apologetic and said that it was because they were training new staff. I don't know what happened there because it seemed like no one cared enough to check the food that got sent out since we got terrible food. I was surprised that the restaurant didn't even bother doing a quality check considering the price of the items on the menu. Waitress then grabbed the manager when we approached her for at least a discount for the terrible experience on my friend's birthday. The manager was completely unapologetic about what occurred and after a few minutes of discussion, he agreed to remove the potatoes from our bill, probably just to get us off his back so we don't continue complaining in the earshot of other customers. Sorry for the lack of other photos but we were starving so we didn't take many. Overall, extremely disappointing experience. Will never come back again.

Great, consistent coffee with a good range of snacks and - and a couple of gluten free options like my chocolate coated coconut cookie in the video. It draws a “let’s catch up for coffee” crowd that varies from colleagues & networkers to local residents and their social groups. 🐶 Puppy friendly in the alfresco area. 🚗 Easy parking in the Gasworks complex

Lovely food and service. Can cater to gluten free and dairy free diet.
