Delicious

Sandra Ashman-Key

All gluten free food with lots of vegan options

Jo Munro

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

Alex Carver

Not safe for coeliacs. Might be good pizza but we didn’t go after being advised that they couldn’t guarantee cross-contamination.

Kresta Davis

Best gluten free burgers in Melbourne. Fresh, delicious and the service by Ruby was outstanding.

Madeline Fernando

Amazing food and plenty of vegan and gluten free options. The service was also a highlight 🤩

Jenni

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!!!!

Rob Whitby

Absolutely amazing Gluten Free Greek lunch

Pauline Laing

A relaxing city pub with a great lunch menu for city workers. There’s plenty of gluten free stuff too. I had the Mexican poke bowl - that’s a cultural mixed metaphor, but a tasty lunch.

Hannah Frank

Incredible service, beautiful GF bread, gnocchi.

David Williams

What an amazing find! Food was well prepared with incredible service! Restaurant offers different tasting options, which I highly recommend. They are very accommodating for allergies as well. Chef easily worked around a gluten issue for us.

I treated my sister who is gluten free to the Summer Sips high tea. We were very impressed with the attentive service that we experienced. The staff had excellent attention to detail, they made sure we had a wonderful afternoon. The cocktails were well balanced with the food selection. The biggest highlight was the GF selection, the savory pastry was delicious!

Michael Saul

Fast healthy gluten free food on the go., added the brownie and a Kombucha drink for A$26 each. Good value and great food

Greg Travassos

Mediocre normal pizza. Gluten free was pretty bad that I couldn't even eat it.

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!

Dinner for 2 on a Tuesday night which was packed with people, luckily we made a booking. We got the signature set for $190 per person, which I felt was plenty of food. Everything we had was delicious and cooked to perfection, especially the citrus butter scallops, glazed fish collar, wagyu shish and slow roasted lamb shoulder. They tried to accomodate my gluten intolerance by swapping for gf bread, gf breadcrumbs and gf chocolate mousse which was great! Atmosphere was classy and dark however was noisy due to being cramped with people. Service was amazing with waiters explaining each dish however again it was too noisy to hear them. It is on the pricier side, we spent almost $500 including drinks for 2 of us, so not a place I’d come to often. But it was nice for a birthday celebration.

Jennifer Brennan

Highly recommended as this restaurant is in a beautiful area, staff are friendly and efficient, food is delicious and atmosphere is chilled. We had the Sweet Potato poached eggs on gluten-free toast with avacado and red chillie scrambled eggs with coffee's. It was delicious, and coffee was amazing. We were lucky with our timing and got a table straight away. However, within 5 mins, there were huge queues for the restaurant. So it's advisable to book if you can. I would still strongly advise: it's worth the wait as we had a wonderful experience. Thank you so much to the staff and restaurant.

Omg best smashed avo and eggs on gluten free toast I’ve had in melbourne - my partner’s steak sandwich was also amazing. The coffee is delicious and the service prompt, polite and efficient - we loved again store thanks for a great dining experience

Michelle Whittaker

I LOVE THIS PLACE!! Do yourself a favour and get yourself a yummy meal! They have fantastic gluten free pasta safe for celiac and wonderful drinks! Clarisa looked after us well!!

Elaine Bell

We had a delightful evening at Aru. The food was all delicious; the duck and fish collar were standout dishes. One of our group is a coeliac and most of the menu was suitable and adapted when needed in a seamless and fuss free fashion. All in all a special dining experience.

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).

I visited this spot because I used to enjoy coffee with friends at Block Place. Unfortunately, there was a long hiatus due to COVID and the closure of many businesses. I'm thrilled that those times are behind us and Block Place is bustling once more! This charming little lane in the city offers a variety of eateries and cafes to explore. Vespa Rossa has maintained the same inviting atmosphere and decor from the previous owner. The space feels open and welcoming, with friendly staff and comforting food. The menu is straightforward and includes a few gluten-free options, making it perfect for a casual lunch or a laid-back gathering with friends. I tried the mashed avocado toast (I know, so cliché), and it was fresh and delightful. The coffee was equally satisfying, rich in aroma. I also indulged in the tiramisu at the end of my meal. To be honest, the tiramisu was a bit too firm and slightly bitter due to the choice of a darker coffee, but it was beautifully presented and still quite tasty. I highly recommend checking this place out! Its close proximity to the shopping area makes it an ideal spot to catch up with friends or enjoy a cozy afternoon.

Second visit but first time we had eaten there. The restaurant was very relaxing and tables well spaced. The staff were very attentive and knowledgeable, as I am a coeliac and their mess are marked online and in-house with dietary options. We had the chicken and prawn past dishes both of which were really good. They also stock two bays GF Pale ale, which is great as a coeliac.

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.

Carl J

This place truly captures a Parisian vibe—if only the Eiffel Tower were closer! The savory gluten-free crepes are absolutely amazing, and the eggs benedict was an excellent choice. The coffee was rich in flavor and perfectly textured. Starting the day with great coffee is always fantastic. Thank you!

Azzah Albakri

The food was above and beyond our expectations. We were a big group of adults and kids. The kindness of Joseph made us dine in and try the yummy dishes. If I could give more than five stars for Joseph service I absolutely would. The gluten-free options were yummy.

Richard Schuhmacher

Ordered Gluten free garlic bread and Pizza Absolute garbage, if you have ever bitten into plaster board that’s what you will get Garlic bread hard as nails, for Melbourne cuisine this is beyond disappointing.

Owen Nomadix

Great little hidden nook. Great steaks and wide variety of wines. Gluten Free choices were delicious. Fast and efficient service. Definitely recommend.

Mackenzie West (Kenzie)

Lovely view and delicious food, the gluten free pizzas was really really good never had gluten free pizza like it! Seemed exactly like normal pizza. tacos were really nice and food was all good sizes

Emma

Great buffet breakfast options, including many gluten free options - even a dedicated gluten free toaster just for the gluten free bread, and gluten free cereal options! As a coeliac, it was great to have so many options. Only suggestion would be to make the allergen markings more consistent - while the baked beans were marked GF (as you’d expect), the scrambled eggs and jams/spreads were not marked GF, which was confusing. However, would totally visit again - great buffet breakfast experience.

Keely Jackson

Holy moly this place is incredible. Most of the menu is coeliac friendly and every bite was as good as the last. Service was incredible and the waitstaff were very onto allergies. Do yourself a favour and grab a glass of Malbec to accompany the steak and don’t forget the chimichurri!

Paula Phillips

Delicious brunch, and coeliac friendly. They aren't a dedicated gluten free space, but they do have separate toasters and make every effort to offer a safe space to eat. Highly recommended.

Polly S

Fabulous food and service. Many gluten-free options.

Kaylee Snyman

Really nice cafe, would definitely recommend! Big range of options including vegan and gluten free. The staff were knowledgeable about being celiac safe and have a gluten free toast option which was great.

David Hedley

Would be 5 stars if they offered Gluten Free chips with the meals. Being Coeliac (Gluten Intolerance) When paying the higher prices for the meals I think they should offer GF chips as an option. Mash as a replacement disappointing. Otherwise this was a very pleasant dining experience and the steaks and ribs we had were cooked perfectly, Wait staff were excellent and the meals well presented (except for the scoop of mash where my chips should be).

Kayla Webster

Friendly staff, amazing food, gluten free options.

Used to eat here pre Covid. Standard has dropped a little unfortunately. Had lunch today (weekday) and food was very average - nasi goreng was quite bland and didn’t have enough spices. Would be nice if they had more gluten free options! Portion size is good though, at least I felt full afterwards. Service and ambience great for catching up with friends so it’s a good place for meetups.

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.

Adrienne Williams

Wonderful for coeliacs. Every care was taken to ensure my meal was safe. I had a poke bowl, and all the ingredients were fresh and delicious. I went with a work group and everyone enjoyed their meals. Upstairs room was also quiet. If I lived in Melbourne I would definitely be returning.

OldNerdSteve

Food was delicious, staff were excellent. Um coeliac and there were some gluten free options on the menu, and they were happy to answer my questions about which specials were gluten free. I had the lamb cutlets, which were fantastic.

Georgia Riccioni

Sbriga cafe is my go to when at the office. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The food is fresh and delicious and they are very accommodating to vegetarians and Gluten free. The chai- tea latte is one of the best I have ever had!

If I could go above 5 stars I would, especially for service! Last night my colleagues and I went to Sud whilst visiting Melbourne from Auckland. It came highly recommended and it did not disappoint!! The food was delicious, the cocktails were yum and the Italian wine recommendation from Vincenzo was perfect. We had a fabulous wholesome evening with great laughs, great food and GREAT service. Vincenzo has created an amazing experience at Sud and we were also looked after by Darren who was also fabulous. We had 3 dietary requirements, one gluten free and myself vegan. They happily catered for us and as Darren said, nobody misses out at Sud. Thank you very much!
