Dairy-free restaurants in Gold Coast Central & South

Easy House Vegan Restaurant

Mermaid Waters · Vegan · €⁠€

The restaurant is 100% vegan. Their official website explicitly declares it is completely free from dairy and eggs, and the AGFG listing also features 'Dairy Free Options' as a feature. No dairy is used in the kitchen.

Made With Love Bakery

Southport · Cafe · Bakery · €

100% vegan bakery: no dairy products are used in any dish. The menu is explicitly dairy-free, and the kitchen is entirely plant-based.

Siam Purity

Broadbeach · Vegetarian · Thai · €⁠€

The entire menu is vegan, which means no dairy appears in any dish. Milk-based items are all plant-based; examples include 'V-Icecream' and the 'Plant-based Milk' used for Thai Iced Tea. The kitchen operates entirely without dairy.

Urban Eatery & Cafe

Broadbeach · Cafe · €⁠€

The FindMeGlutenFree listing and multiple reviews mention 'Good for dairy-free' as a common tag, and the venue's menu includes dairy-free options. The owner statement does not specifically address dedicated dairy-free equipment or a separate kitchen. The evidence shows that dairy-free options exist and that staff are accommodating, but it lacks the structural safety guarantees of dedicated equipment or separate prep spaces. This is best classified as Reliable (B) for dairy-free diners.

Blendlove

Southport · Cafe · Brunch · €⁠€

Blendlove’s entire food menu is plant-based, so dairy is not used intentionally. The kitchen focuses on wholesome plant ingredients. No dedicated dairy-free equipment is noted, and staff knowledge on dairy cross-contamination is not detailed. Dairy-free diners should confirm with staff.

Khao Piyo - Vegetarian & Vegan Restaurant

Surfers Paradise · Vegetarian · Indian · €⁠€

The menu has dairy dishes. Malai Chaap, Milk Badam, and Gajar Halwa are examples, but it also offers plenty of vegan options. Staff can point out dairy-free dishes. The kitchen isn't entirely dairy-free, though, and there's no mention of separate equipment for cooking without dairy.

MĀRE Restaurant by La Luna

Main Beach · Fine dining · Mediterranean

The menu includes dairy-free options. Items such as marinated olives, bresaola, calabrese salami, kingfish tartare, scallop ceviche, wagyu beef tartare, sashimi platters, wagyu beef tataki, octopus, cauliflower steak, charred carrots, asparagus, and baby cos salad are marked DF. Cheese plates and rich dishes like burrata, lobster ravioli, and tiramisu semifreddo contain dairy. Dairy-free choices exist, but they come from a shared kitchen where dairy is present. The 'Lemon Meringue GFO' suggests gluten-free, not necessarily dairy-free. It remains unclear whether staff awareness and protocol for avoiding cross-contact are in place.

SeeYo Cafe & Bakery

Mermaid Beach · Cafe · Brunch · €⁠€

The cafe is not a dedicated dairy-free kitchen, with wheat-free and gluten-free being the primary focus, but multiple reviewers flag it as good for dairy-free, pointing to menu items like dairy-free cheeseburgers and dairy-free waffles. The FindMeGlutenFree listing tags it as good for dairy-free by 11 community reports. However, because the kitchen is shared and there is no dedicated dairy-free equipment or separate prep area, cross-contamination risk exists. Diners avoiding dairy should confirm specific dishes with staff.

The Cardamom Pod

Southport · Brunch · Cafe

Multiple reviews on FindMeGlutenFree indicate that The Cardamom Pod accommodates dairy-free diners. The menu is Indian-inspired and plant-based, so dairy is likely absent or can be easily substituted. No dedicated dairy-free equipment or training is confirmed, but the kitchen's vegetarian and vegan focus provides reasonable confidence. Guests with severe dairy allergy should confirm with staff.
