Just Gluten Free Bakery, kicking it gluten-free since 2010, is a top spot for those who refuse to compromise on taste while avoiding the said ingredient.
Their apple strudel is our favorite, but the custard tarts that bring sweetness to a whole new level come in close. They also have lemon cheesecake bringing a creamy and zesty flavor party.
For those who prefer savory gluten-free delights, their beef sausage rolls and beef pies are the way to go.

Their Schnithouse chips are the crispy sidekick you need for kranski. It’s only $10.90, but the flavor and crunch aren’t compromised.
But the star of the show for us is the parmesan-topped chicken protein penne/risotto. This gluten-free gem features grilled chicken, mushrooms, and bacon, all drenched in a garlic cream sauce.

Balaboosta is dishing out some gluten-free pizza that’s anything but ordinary. However, you have to pay a small price of $5 for a celiac-friendly pizza base.
Speaking of pizza, we’re die-hards of their $22 Melanzane with a rich tomato base and a creamy crown of mozzarella. The tangy marinated artichokes are a welcome addition.
If you’re a fungi fan, the wild mushroom pizza at $21 is your jam. It’s hard to resist this pizza’s wild mushrooms and a sprinkling of baby spinach, all finished off with goat’s curd.
| Tip: This popular restaurant can get quite busy, so making a reservation is a wise move, especially during peak dining hours. It ensures you won’t have to wait long for a table. |

Two-Bit Villains perfected gluten-free pub chow. You can’t go wrong with their chili fries, crispy, golden potato sticks kissed by the heat of chili and the creaminess of cheese.
Their trademark The Villains Burger is a meatier alternative. The falafel patty with hummus and sweet chili sauce is so good that it’s almost criminal or, in this case, villainous.
For those who prefer something sweet, their spiced chocolate cake with ice cream and chili will have you plotting your next visit.
| Tip: Check their website for the updated gluten-free fee. As of writing, it’s $2 per dish. |

Bread & Bone isn’t messing around when it comes to gluten-free burger bites. The only catch is their gluten-free buns will cost an extra $3.
Now, for burgers, go with their soy and ginger mushroom burger. This $23 grub is a wild combo of grilled halloumi cheese, kewpie, watercress, and pickled shallots.
The slightly more expensive $26 Coopers beer battered fish burger is a knockout too. It’s a local fish fillet drenched in pico de gallo, chili mayo, and lime, nestled in a bed of crisp lettuce.

Our team kicks things off at Veggo Sizzle with their trademark tofu fritters—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and downright delightful. We dip them in the tangy tomato sauce for extra flavor.
Their Veggo Supremo Balls are also ballin’. Handcrafted with love and packed with fresh veggies and a symphony of herbs and spices, these balls are taking meatballs to school.
But when we’re really hungry, the satay vegan chicken skewers are our usual picks. This gluten-free grub has vegan chicken coated in a nutty, spicy satay sauce.
