The restaurant staff is very friendly, the restaurant is clean, the food is delicious. We will definitely be back again. Especially since they are safe for celiacs. We recommend them!
Saturday night date night with hubby. Wanted to try Onda as I am Coeliac. This 100% Certified Coeliac gluten free restaurant is one of the best. The food was delicious amazing. Service attention to detail was fantastic. We had the feed me menu and it was amazing. Now need to come back to try the rest of the dishes. Great experience. Thank you for a great night.
Rick's place is an absolute gem!
We recently visited and had the most amazing night!
The food was exceptional with delicious options that cater for lots of different dietary requirements.
We needed gluten, dairy and onion free, and had the first dining experience where this was "too easy" and we felt like the inclusion and not exclusion.
Rick and Andy are warm, friendly, attentive and genuinely thoughtful, making us all feel so welcome. They take so much pride in providing a fantastic dining experience for all.
Couldn't recommend Rick's Place enough!
Looking forward to our next visit!
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!
Ordered the food via phone than online. Easier to call as the online app was a little weird but that could of been the phone. The gf grilled Barra was really nice but the normal calami and prawns were over cooked/fried. We like the chips to. Are at the beach.
The person on the phone was so helpful with allergies and customer service. EVERYTHING GLUTEN FREE (besides 4 small items) ?! Are you kidding how amazing for those with this allergy, I asked to make it on a separate pan to avoid cross contamination which they were so easy with. Thanks guys ◡̈
Amazing tasting food with plenty of coeliac safe gluten free options. I could even grab sushi from the sushi train, which was amazing! The soy sauce was even gluten free! Lovely staff too.
Perfect place for all gluten free people and their friends. Food is amazing and even coeliac friendly. Suitable for everyday meal or special occasion. We vere very happy to decide to have our special dinner here.
Picked this restaurant for date night tonight and absolutely loved it! Such a cute little spot, fast great service and delicious food. My partner and I shared the tofu, karaage chicken, gyoza’s, matcha and hojicha ice cream and a few drinks. We loved the sake flight, getting to choose either three or five of the different sake flavours! We were so happy to of found this restaurant through the Find Me GF app. It’s always so nice to be able to go to a restaurant knowing they are dedicated gluten free and not have to worry, we’ll definitely be back. It’s decently priced food, couldn’t recommend this restaurant enough!

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.
As always, amazing food and great service!! Excellent vegetarian and GF options as well great care taken to cater for my family member with coeliac disease.
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.
GF friends, look no further for your lunch or dinner in St Kilda!!
Absolute gluten free taco perfection! *please note - I do not say this lightly*
We had the beef, pork and fish tacos, and I honestly can’t tell you which was my favourite! Full of flavour. The fish was probably the best fish taco I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a lot of tacos) haha
The owner, chef, bartender and overall awesome guy, Peter is worth just popping in to have a chat with if you’re not hungry! Grab their new house GF beer, and if you’re feeling brave - maybe have a boogie on the dance floor!
Thank you so much for a lovely experience, tasty food and great chat. We will definitely be back soon.
This is not the first time we’ve been here - our previous visit for a birthday celebration was amazing and we were very keen to return.
This time was to celebrate our wedding anniversary - booking online we asked to be seated in the balcony if available. This was ignored, even though there were plenty of free tables on the balcony and being a Monday night it wasn’t particularly busy. When we asked about it afterwards, we were dismissed with “it was wet today” even though there are blinds protecting the area and the rain had cleared by lunchtime, plus other people were sitting out there.
The food was as delicious as we remembered, and their ability to cater for gluten free outstanding.
The lady who served us was lovely…when she was waiting on us. However the general service was appalling this time around. We waited close to 15 minutes before we were even given a menu. Throughout the evening we witnessed other tables being looked after very well, being served before us, finished their meal before us even though they came in much later than our booking. Our waitress was topping up other tables’ water then not even checking our glasses. Our meals sat on the middle serving table waiting to be dished up for long enough for them to be lukewarm, and our dessert ice cream melting. At the end of our meal we didn’t get any hot towels (every other table we watched did). Overall we felt very invisible and ignored.
The table behind us had 4 businessmen who had had far too much to drink, being very loud with extremely inappropriate language - swearing their heads off. Saying quite inappropriate derogatory comments.
At the end of our meal (that took 2 hours and 40 minutes to get through because of the lack of service), Simon (we assume the manager) brought over the eftpos machine and almost insisted we give a tip (in Australia a tip is not customary). When we said not today, he appeared annoyed and when we mentioned the behaviour of the table behind us, he was very dismissive and didn’t seem to care.
Overall, not a great experience this time and disappointing given our previous experience.
I’ve ordered several times from here online and have always enjoyed the burgers. Finally popped into today with some family. We were happily greeted and welcomed. Were talked through the menu helpfully and were told that coeliac was not a problem. Excellent service from start to finish.
Incredible pub. Can’t recommend enough. Amazing food, great selection of drinks, amazing service, great vibe. Even do coeliac friendly meals AND beers! A jewel in west/north Melbourne’s crown.
Total ripoff trying to charge $6 for a different type of flour. This is unjustifiable. You don't prey on people with a 25% fee because they're born allergic to gluten. It tastes worse, never has a good texture and you want people to pay more for the suffering? No thanks.
I ordered the pepperoni pizza and it was absolutely delicious - by far the best pizza I've had in Melbourne!
The gluten-free base was a pleasant surprise. It didn't have that typical GF texture or taste that you might expect; it looked and tasted just like a regular base, and importantly, it didn't make me sick afterward.
The service was excellent and the ambience was great too. I came with a friend who ordered the vegan chicken BBQ pizza. He was initially worried about finishing it after having a late lunch, but he actually finished his pizza before I did and mentioned it was even better than non-vegan chicken BBQ pizzas he's had before.
Thank you, Red Sparrow, for providing amazing pizza options for everyone, especially vegans and those of us who need gluten-free options. Will definitely be coming back!

I popped in tonite and ordered the brisket, but I'm gluten and dairy free, the staff were fantastic it turns out for once dairy was a bigger issue than gluten (all options marked and a seperate fryer) but they swapped it over for steak. Which was safe and delicious. Thanks so much

Absolutely fantastic experience at The Albion in Kyneton! The service was excellent from the moment we walked in, and they were incredibly accommodating with dietary requirements — a huge relief as I’m a coeliac. The staff took it seriously and made me feel completely safe and looked after. Special mention to Lila, who was an absolute gem — warm, attentive, and genuinely lovely. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food and outstanding service!

Great place in ballarat for anything you want . Also have quite a few things gluten free on the menu. Wonderful place having a meal looking over the lake.
Before I talk about the (absolutely amazing and incredible) food, I want to talk about the service.
Kindness is so very rare these days. But you’ll find it in abundance here. Staff and the owner are so accommodating for those of us with disabilities. The first time I came with my support worker, staff happily turned the music down for me, as I was getting very overstimulated. I’ve also ordered through uber eats multiple times. However, today the app did not put my order through as gluten free (possible glitch). Jackson and the owner went well and truly out of their way to rectify this, and get the right order to me.
To say I’m grateful isn’t enough. There are no words strong enough to convey how full my heart is, because no other restaurant would go as far as these beautiful souls did. As I am unable to cook for myself right now, the fact they looked after me like this, when it wasn’t even their mistake in the first place, is proof that there are people in Melbourne that truly are the soul and the beating heart of this city.
The food itself is beyond delicious. Finding gluten free fried chicken is hard….finding gluten free poutine is even harder! And the grilled zucchini is so delicious, I had to fight my support worker over it haha. The mash and gravy is so comforting with the chicken, it’s real soul food.
Thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
The best food and service! We had an amazing waiter, Mac who gave great recommendations and was very friendly. The gluten free options are extensive, with almost the entire menu being coeliac safe. Would definitely recommend!
I always try to make my way here to get some gluten free pancakes when I'm in Melbourne. Today I was looked after by Deb, who although was busy working hard, she was friendly and efficient. I'm grateful for getting my food and drink in good time and that the toilets were very clean!!!!
