A 100% gluten-free cake boutique and patisserie, Coeliac Australia accredited. The entire kitchen is dedicated gluten-free — no gluten-containing ingredients are allowed on premises, with a sign requesting no outside food to prevent cross-contamination. Every item on the menu is safe for coeliacs, from cakes and cupcakes to bagels, Swiss rolls, and high tea. Multiple coeliac diners report zero reactions, and the owner's strict policies (no oat milk, no outside food) reinforce total peace of mind.
The menu has a dedicated 'Main Course - Vegetarian' section with nine dishes, plus several vegetarian starters and sides. Many items are explicitly marked (Veg). The kitchen handles meat and seafood as well, so vegetarian dishes are prepared in a shared kitchen, but the clear menu separation and labelling make it easy to identify options.
The Tapas Bar is a top-rated spot for coeliacs in the Swan Valley. The menu is clearly marked with GF, GFO, and vegetarian tags, and the majority of dishes are gluten-free — only the bread items contain gluten. FindMeGlutenFree reviewers consistently describe staff as 'celiac aware' and note that most of the menu is safe. However, the kitchen is shared (bread and sourdough are on the menu), and no source mentions dedicated prep or fryers. The venue promotes itself as offering 'a gluten-free option' on its homepage but does not claim a dedicated kitchen or accreditation. Confirm with staff that they can accommodate your level of sensitivity, especially for fried items.
Dishes on the main and group menus are marked with GF/GFO codes, and several naturally gluten-free items like steak, barramundi, and salads are clearly labelled. Pizzas are prepared in a separate area from the main kitchen, which reduces cross-contamination risk. However, the kitchen is shared with gluten-containing dishes (pizza dough, bread, pastries), and the group menu warns that cross-contamination may occur. Staff can accommodate requests if notified, but there is no dedicated gluten-free accreditation or separate fryer for chips noted.
A FindMeGlutenFree listing reports a separate GF pizza oven and a dedicated fryer, meaning everything cooked in the fryer is gluten-free. The Atly community page adds that most menu items can be made GF on request, staff are trained on coeliac safety, and multiple reviews describe 'the best GF pizza I’ve ever had' with fantastic understanding for two coeliacs. The kitchen is shared, not 100% dedicated, so cross-contamination is possible but actively managed with separate equipment.
The menu lists a gluten-free bun (GFO) as an extra, and a FindMeGlutenFree reviewer reports a dedicated fryer and knowledgeable staff. However, the kitchen is shared with gluten-containing dishes (brioche buns, battered fish, rye bread, etc.) and the venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. Coeliacs should confirm protocols with staff before ordering.
The Coffee Hut offers a gluten-free menu with items like pancakes, sandwiches, steak, and bread/buns. The kitchen is shared, and the venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. A coeliac diner reported no symptoms after eating GF pancakes, and a wheat-allergy diner felt safe with a steak sandwich. Staff understanding of GF needs is noted, but cross-contamination risk is present. Call ahead to discuss your specific needs.
Many dishes are marked GF on the menu, including pho, rice bowls, and grilled meats. The kitchen is shared and uses gluten-containing ingredients like wonton wrappers, spring roll pastry, and fried dough sticks. Staff awareness is noted on delivery platforms, but no dedicated fryer or prep area is mentioned. Coeliac diners should confirm cross-contamination protocols directly.
The venue is described as 'Accommodating gluten-free' on the Atly community platform, with trained staff who can serve gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options correctly. The kitchen is shared, with some risk of cross-contamination noted. A community review mentions staff carefully handling gluten-free meals for a wedding. The official menu page does not mark allergen codes on dishes. No dedicated gluten-free kitchen or fryer is mentioned, and no formal accreditation from Coeliac Australia or similar body is cited.
Several menu items are marked GF or GFO (Gluten Free Option), including Loaded Fries, Berlin Currywurst, Homemade Chocolate Souffle, and various sausages, sides, and salads. The menu notes items may contain traces of gluten. The brewery also offers a gluten-free beer. However, the kitchen is shared and not 100% gluten-free—the pub serves Schnitzel, pretzels, and other gluten-containing items. Staff appear moderately aware (the menu says 'Please make it known if you have any allergies'), and one review on a third-party site mentioned 'coeliac aware and very accommodating' at a nearby venue, not this one specifically. No evidence of dedicated fryers or separate prep areas for gluten-free items at this venue. Check with staff about cross-contamination protocols for coeliac-safe orders.
Old Young's Kitchen lists a gluten-free menu and offers GF bread, buns, sushi and dessert. Multiple FindMeGlutenFree reviews state the entire menu is GF except for two dishes, suggesting a high proportion of the menu can be made gluten-free. The Australian Good Food Guide listing also flags 'Gluten Free Options'. However the kitchen is shared with gluten-containing dishes (the restaurant serves regular bread and other gluten items). No dedicated fryer or kitchen is documented. Coeliac diners should confirm cross-contamination protocols with staff before ordering.
The kitchen offers gluten-free options and freshly made GF bread, and staff are noted as knowledgeable about coeliac needs. However, the kitchen is shared with gluten-containing dishes, so cross-contamination is possible. A coeliac diner reported no issues with the tasting menu, but the venue is not accredited by a coeliac body and no dedicated fryer or kitchen is mentioned.
The menu offers multiple vegetarian options including wood-fired pizza, pasta, and seasonal sides. The chef notes 'multiple choices for pescatarian, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.' No dedicated vegetarian kitchen, but the variety of dishes makes it easy to find a suitable meal. Confirm with staff for strict vegetarian (no fish, no meat stock) needs.
Listed on FindMeGlutenFree as having a GF menu with items like pancakes, smoothies, eggs benedict and bread. One reviewer says the staff are knowledgeable about coeliac and cross-contamination. The venue's own website shows a large coffee image and online ordering links but no menu text or allergen information was captured. There is no evidence of a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, separate fryer, or formal accreditation. Cross-contamination risk from a shared kitchen is likely. Call ahead to discuss your needs.
The menu marks several items with GF codes (e. g. CavCaf Tikki G/F, E/F) and offers gluten-free bread and toast for a small surcharge. The kitchen is shared with gluten-containing dishes, and no dedicated fryer or separate prep area is mentioned. Staff awareness is not documented in the available sources. Coeliac diners should confirm cross-contamination protocols directly with the kitchen.
The café lists gluten-free options like the Veggie Burger with a gluten-free bun, gluten-free sandwiches and wraps, and several breakfast items that can be made with gluten-free bread. A dedicated gluten-free menu section exists online. However, the kitchen is shared with regular wheat-containing items (brioche buns, sourdough, pancakes), and there is no mention of dedicated fryers, separate preparation areas, or staff training on cross-contamination. Coeliac customers should confirm procedures with staff before ordering.
The menu has a dedicated 'VEGAN SECTION' with dishes like Yellow Dhal, Chana Masala, Jeera Aloo, and Mix Vegetable Curry clearly marked as vegan. The kitchen is shared with non-vegan items, so cross-contamination is possible. Staff can likely advise on vegan options when ordering.
The menu offers a wide range of vegetarian-friendly French patisserie and savoury items—croissants, pain au chocolat, lemon tarts, flan, quiche veggie, and various macarons. The allergen matrix shows no pork in the vegetarian quiche or ciabatta veggie items. Several savoury croissant and Paris roll options contain ham or beef brisket, so vegetarians should check individual items. Staff can assist with selections.
The venue offers gluten-free options and a soy milk alternative, but the quality of GF items has been reported as poor, and the kitchen practice is unknown. No dedicated fryer, separate prep area, or staff training is documented. A 2023 review noted gluten-free sandwiches and scones were dry and dense, and the venue's response indicates they were investigating new suppliers. Best to call ahead and confirm current GF offerings and cross-contamination protocols.
Honest caveat, A 2023 review found gluten-free items (sandwich, scone) to be dry and unappealing; the venue acknowledged the issue and said they were investigating new suppliers.
The Naked Fox is listed on gluten-free directories and community members mention good gluten-free options, including for coeliac diners. However the venue's own menu PDF was not directly scrapeable to confirm marked items, and no information was available about dedicated fryers, a separate prep area, or staff cross-contamination training. Ask the kitchen directly about their gluten-free handling procedures and whether there is a shared fryer or toaster.
The Henley Brook offers gluten-free marked menu items including pizza, burgers, and salads, but the kitchen is shared with gluten-containing dishes. A coeliac diner reported that staff confirmed shared prep areas, a shared fryer, and a shared pizza oven (bases on a tray within the oven). Salads and kids' veg are the only items the kitchen can guarantee as safe. Several reviewers report reactions or incorrect orders. Not recommended for coeliac diners without a very careful conversation with the kitchen.
The venue's own menu marks a 'Gluten Friendly (optional add on)' option for pasta and pizza, with a note that it 'may contain traces or be contaminated with gluten'. Multiple community reviews confirm shared kitchen equipment, shared ovens, and high cross-contamination risk. Staff knowledge varies by shift. The venue is not suitable for coeliac diners who need a reliably gluten-free kitchen.
No dedicated GF kitchen or accreditation; staff may accommodate on request but cross-contamination risk is acknowledged. Safer to call ahead and confirm.
