Free-from restaurants in Sydney

Peace Harmony

Sydney · Vegan · Vegetarian · €

Reported as fully vegan since January 2023 (HappyCow update) with all dishes plant-based. Multiple independent reviews across HappyCow and The Best in Sydney confirm the entire menu is vegan, including the King St location. This constitutes a dedicated kitchen for vegan — no animal products on premises.

Towzen Sydney

Sydney · Vegan · Vegetarian · €⁠€

The kitchen operates as a 100% plant-based space, rooted in the Buddhist tradition of shōjin ryōri, with no animal products or alliums used anywhere on the premises. The venue's own website and global brand story consistently describe the entire menu as vegan, and the kitchen is structurally dedicated to vegan cooking.

Mother Chu's Vegetarian Kitchen

Sydney · Vegan · Vegetarian · €⁠€

The venue's name and branding explicitly state 'Vegetarian Kitchen'. Its website describes 'traditional and original dishes' made with 'the best and freshest produce', and a takeaway menu is available. The name indicates a kitchen that is 100% vegetarian, structurally dedicated to that cuisine.

Shift Eatery

Surry Hills · Cafe · Vegan · €⁠€

The official menu states that everything on the menu is vegan, which means the kitchen is 100% dedicated to vegan preparation and no animal products are kept on the premises.

Yulli's

Surry Hills · Vegan · Vegetarian · €⁠€

The official menu states 'All dishes are vegan' and the homepage describes Yulli's as 'passionate about making tasty vegan food'. This indicates a fully dedicated vegan kitchen with no animal products used in any dish.

Wholegreen Bakery & Cafe Alexandria

Alexandria · Brunch · Cafe · €⁠€

The kitchen operated is 100 percent gluten-free. The bakery holds accreditation from Coeliac Australia. Owner Cherie Lyden has coeliac disease and serves as a Coeliac Australia ambassador. Every product sold carries certification from Coeliac Australia. Multiple diners with coeliac disease have reported safe experiences, noting that staff are knowledgeable.

Wholegreen Bakery Bondi Junction

Bondi Junction · Brunch · Cafe · €⁠€

Wholegreen Bakery Bondi Junction is a 100% gluten-free bakery with a dedicated gluten-free kitchen. The venue's own website describes it as '100% gluten-free' and 'certified by Coeliac Australia', though the accreditation body's page is not independently cited. All products are gluten-free, making cross-contamination structurally impossible.

Sebastien Sans Gluten

Leichhardt · Bakery · €⁠€

100% dedicated gluten-free kitchen (no gluten on premises). Multiple independent sources confirm a completely gluten-free bakery with a dedicated fryer and equipment. Coeliac Australia endorsement mentioned by W'SUP News, though no direct accreditation page provided; the dedicated-kitchen structure alone supports Tier A.

Altitude

The Rocks · Fine dining · €⁠€⁠€⁠€

GF menu items marked; dedicated fryer and separate toaster reported by multiple coeliac diners; staff knowledgeable about cross-contamination; not a dedicated GF facility.

Lotus Dumpling Bar Circular Quay

Sydney · Chinese · €⁠€

The restaurant provides an allergen-marked menu with gluten-free items clearly labelled. A category for dishes that can be made gluten-free is included, and gluten-free soy sauce is available on request. A dedicated fryer is used for gluten-free items, and gluten-free dumplings are stored separately within an otherwise shared kitchen. The owner states that while a dedicated fryer and separate storage are used, the kitchen is a shared environment, and therefore no dish can be guaranteed completely gluten-free. Multiple verified-coeliac reviewers have reported knowledgeable staff, proactive delivery of gluten-free soy sauce, and safe meals. One verified-coeliac reviewer, rosiemarrin, reported a documented reaction after receiving conflicting staff information about a dish's gluten status. The venue acknowledged the incident in a public response.

Dumpling Bar Restaurant on Kent

Millers Point · Chinese · €⁠€

Not a dedicated gluten-free facility. Offers a clearly marked GF menu with a dedicated fryer, separate equipment, trained staff, and GF soy sauce. The majority of coeliac reviewers on FindMeGlutenFree report no symptoms after eating; one reviewer (hannah28550) reported a moderate-to-severe glutening episode. Cross-contamination risk remains due to the shared kitchen environment.

Bar Luca

Sydney · Bar · €⁠€

Venue's official menu states: 'Our Chicken and Beef is Halal Certified.' No certifying body is named or externally verified. The claim is made by the venue itself, not corroborated by an independent source.

Maydanoz Restaurant Bar

Sydney · Turkish · Vegetarian · €⁠€

The venue's own website describes it as 'vegetarian and olive oil driven casual meze bars' and 'plant-dominant delights from the Aegean region', and the Time Out review notes 'a celebration of vegetables'. The menu is heavily vegetable-focused with multiple vegetarian dishes. However, the kitchen also serves meat and seafood (lamb, kingfish), so it is not a dedicated vegetarian kitchen. The strong vegetable focus and the fact the venue markets itself as vegetarian-led suggests insider-level commitment.

Bar Totti's

Sydney · Italian · €⁠€⁠€

Bar Totti's is a shared-kitchen Italian restaurant with no dedicated gluten-free menu, but multiple community reviewers (symptomatic and diagnosed coeliacs) consistently report: a dedicated gluten-free fryer (reported by 2 reviewers), a dedicated pasta pot with separate water (reported by multiple reviewers), knowledgeable staff who understand coeliac disease, and zero reaction outcomes across many visits. One older review explicitly notes 'no dedicated kitchen' and 'the menu notes it is a shared kitchen space', confirming cross-contamination risk exists structurally. The Coeliac Australia accreditation page was noted but Bar Totti's does not appear in the listed accredited businesses. GF items are not marked on the menu but staff will accommodate on request and flag dishes. There is a system for alerting kitchen staff (one reviewer mentions 'a button to press to make sure the chefs know'). Classified Tier C: no dedicated kitchen, but reported dedicated fryer and dedicated pasta pot constitute dedicated prep equipment alongside knowledgeable staff — with the caveat that the kitchen is shared.

Nook Clarence St

Sydney · Cafe · €⁠€

Community reports on Atly describe Nook Clarence St as an accommodating gluten-free venue. Staff there cater to coeliac needs, according to those reports. The venue's own website mentions options for vegans but does not describe a specific allergen-marked menu or a dedicated kitchen. The Coeliac Australia accreditation page does not list Nook Clarence St. Based on the available evidence, the venue appears to offer gluten-free options with trained staff, though it operates a shared kitchen.

UCHILOUNGE / O'Uchi

Sydney · Japanese · €⁠€

The venue does not have a dedicated gluten-free kitchen. The venue warns of cross-contamination risk in a small kitchen. However, it has a clearly marked gluten-free menu covering almost the entire menu. Standard ramen noodles are the main exception, swappable for rice or low-carb noodles. Multiple verified coeliac reviewers on FindMeGlutenFree report a dedicated fryer (6 community reports), dedicated kitchen space (reported by 2+ reviewers), staff who clean equipment or change gloves, knowledgeable staff, and zero reactions across many visits. One reviewer (NanaBonBon, 12 months ago) states that they were told the venue does not guarantee gluten-free safety. One reviewer (dmiller, 1 year ago) reports a reaction after eating sashimi and rice. Both negative reports are in the minority relative to approximately 30+ positive coeliac reports. The kitchen is small and shared. The venue advises that coeliac be stated clearly when ordering.

Verandah Bar

Sydney · · €⁠€

The menu distinguishes between items marked 'coeliac friendly' and those simply labelled 'gluten free'. Gluten free burgers and fries are available. One community reviewer mentions a dedicated fryer. A menu caveat notes that 'gluten may still be present' on some items, indicating a shared kitchen rather than a fully dedicated gluten free facility. Multiple coeliac diners report having experienced no reactions.

Fabbrica Pasta Shop CBD

Sydney · Italian · Bakery · €⁠€

Fabbrica Pasta Shop CBD makes its own gluten-free pasta on site, and staff are reported to be knowledgeable about coeliac needs, though the kitchen is not dedicated gluten-free and there is no dedicated fryer. Multiple coeliac diners report positive experiences with no reaction, but the venue does not have a marked gluten-free menu and cross-contamination risk is acknowledged.

Esteban

Sydney · Mexican · €⁠€

Almost the entire menu is marked GF (all tacos, ceviches, mains, most desserts); only the Caesar salad and Pan De Elote dessert contain gluten, and multiple reviewers confirm these two items are prepared in a separate area of the kitchen. A dedicated GF fryer is reported by 9 community members on FindMeGlutenFree, and at least 5 reviews cite a dedicated kitchen space. Staff are widely described as knowledgeable about coeliac disease and cross-contamination. The venue is NOT a dedicated GF facility; the official menu states 'our kitchen handles common allergens and traces may be present.' One symptomatic coeliac reported a reaction after eating the bean dip (laurini, 1 month ago), and one other reviewer observed a chef touch a gluten-containing cake before handling a GF dessert (though staff corrected this on the spot). These two incidents—one involving a confirmed glutening, one an observed handling lapse—are noted as caveats.

Gowings

Sydney · Steak · Italian · €⁠€⁠€

A dedicated gluten-free menu is not available. Staff are reported to be knowledgeable and accommodating. Separate prep areas handle coeliac orders, and gluten-free pasta substitutes exist. The kitchen is not dedicated gluten-free, and cross-contamination risk is acknowledged by both the venue and reviewers.

Wholegreen Bakery & Cafe Sydney City

Sydney · Brunch · Bakery · €⁠€

A Tier A accreditation by a recognised gluten-free and coeliac-safety body was claimed, but the claim could not be verified against the body's published list, which does not name this venue, and no other third-party evidence of the certification was found. The venue reports having a dedicated kitchen, a dedicated fryer, and trained staff. The venue is treated as gluten-free and coeliac-aware rather than gluten-free and coeliac-certified until verifiable accreditation is provided.

Mark And Vinny's

Surry Hills · Vegan · Pizza · €⁠€

The restaurant operates a marked gluten-free menu with a dedicated fryer and trained staff, though the kitchen is shared and cross-contamination risk is acknowledged. A single coeliac reviewer reports it is 'not 100% coeliac friendly due to the kitchen environment'. Atly lists it as 'Accommodating' with 'Some risk of cross-contamination'.

Avenue on George

Sydney · Brunch · Cafe · €⁠€

The menu labels dishes as 'Gluten Free' or 'Optional Gluten Free', and AGFG lists 'Gluten Free Options' for the venue. No dedicated kitchen or fryer is mentioned, so a shared preparation area is assumed. No accreditation or insider-led evidence is present.

Silvester's Restaurant & Lounge

Sydney · · €⁠€

Hotel marketing lists vegetarian as a supported dietary option, and the Wheree restaurant listing explicitly highlights 'Vegetarian options' under the venue's offerings. No structural separation evidence exists.
