Stopped by for a quick bite on my first night in Cairns. I’m coeliac and it was nice to see so many options. The chef also came out to double check if I was coeliac or just intolerant which I really appreciated. Maple bacon burger & chips was very tasty. Would go back.

Purchased a glutenfree burger as a takeaway and they overdid it severely where it didn't taste like much and was hard

Incredible service, efficient, food was delicious. My sister is a celiac and they adapted perfectly to this, with natural options for it. Our waitress, Ines was very nice and seemed to predict all our needs. 10/10

We became regulars here by mistake. Seeing a bunch of venues around the CBD offering their various lunch specials inspired our friend group to try them all. But when we got to Tha Fish, we no longer had the desire to continue the food tour. Let’s start with the absolutely amazing $25 lunch deal which comes with one main and a beverage!! ALWAYS DELICIOUS, filling and awesome. But then we look further down the menus and we reallllyyyy start to get into the fun stuff. The gyoza, the prawns, the fish main, the wines on offer … WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TOP SHELF STUFF HERE! And the team are always so happy and helpful. Just old school, good quality service. Plenty of Gluten Free and vego options as well if that’s your thing!! Cannot speak highly enough and will always be returning.

Great food, excellent service and lovely atmosphere. We had scallops for entree, risotto and fish and chips and a bottle of sauvignon blanc. Great for coeliacs. A separate menu and attention to allergy.

I just went into this location and was told they do not cater to celiac. They have no dedicated fryers and everything is cooked together on the same equipment. I would not recommend eating here if celiac or have a gluten allergy.

Me and my partner had a lovely dinner here! The food and wine was amazing and the service was great! We shared a prawn entree, mains were the steak and chicken and dessert was the crème brûlée. Fantastic flavors AND all suitable for a coeliac. The waiter really understood what to ask and knew off the top of his head what I could and couldn’t eat and what had risks. Would def recommend and would love to come back if we lived closer

They have a gluten free schnitzel but I called asking if I could order everything gluten free and they said yes that they always change the oil. When I arrived they told me that actually the fries are not gluten free. So I ended up eating only the schnitzel and I paid for a fries that I couldn’t eat.

Nice gluten free options. My wife had the carbonara with the gluten free penne pasta. She loved it. I had a grilled chicken salad with a balsamic dressing that was very tasty. The house red shiraz was very nice. We are going again tonight.

This was one of the best fish curries I have ever eaten in my life. Was nice and spicy and great portion size. Reminded me of my grandmothers cooking. Also they have gluten free options that are safe for celiacs - all curries are GF on the menu, and naan is made separately I would highly recommend the food at this place. I’ll come again if I’m ever back in cairns.

Delightful experience!!! Could not believe their gluten free noodles taste just like the real thing… I repeat the real thing! None of this rice noodle nonsense. Beautiful little shop with seating inside and out. Seemed quite busy when we arrived, so I suggest booking in. Staff were phenomenal and the food… there are no words to describe how delicious, delectable and divine the ramen was. Will go back, have been back and will continue to return. Honestly check it out if you haven’t already!
