Not in Melbourne?


Best Gluten Free Dining


According to The Coeliac Society, ours is a nation more beset by gluten intolerance and wheat allergy than any other. Some estimates indicate that one in a hundred Australians have the damaging disorder.

To those beset by coeliac disease, there is no choice but to avoid wheat and her cousins. However, even those without the diagnosis find that choosing grains and cereals other than wheat have immediate health benefits. Anecdotally, these include clearer skin, reduced abdominal bloat and better, ahem, regularity.

Whatever your case, it can only be a good thing to explore new options and ingredients in your cooking and dining. In Melbourne, try well-reviewed Mexican joint Mamasita. There’s a no-gluten guarantee and all tortillas are made with masa, or flour derived form corn. Find it upstairs at 1/11 Collins Street, phone 03 9650 3821. No bookings.

As for gluten-free pizza in Melbourne? Well, we’re sorry to tell you that it often has the texture of a wooden bathroom mat. Although many delivery joints offer a g-free option, they frequently buy fairly ordinary bases. Here and elsewhere, buy your own base. We recommend the excellent product from Sydney’s Old Time Bakery. Phone 02 9708 4442 for stockists; you’ll often find them at the Big Two supermarkets.

Further in Melbourne, do look at this wonderful blog. The g-free gourmets at Gluten Schmooten alert us to a new universe of grains.

In Sydney, as in the rest of the nation, you’ll find that high-end restaurants will cater to most dietary requirements. On a recent visit to the renowned Aria we found the kitchen happily complied with our request. Close by in The Rocks is the rather fabulous Dare at 12/20 Playfair Street. Phone (02) 9251 1445 to make a booking at a place that is becoming a true g-free fave.

Crust Gourmet Pizza Bar - Willoughby

344 Penshurst St, Willoughby

-33.7927189461595 151.195660829544

We’ve waited a long time for a quality pizza that’s delivered to your door, and so the arrival of Crust Pizza has cause quite a stir for pizza lovers. You can eat in, but the fact that you can order and pay online means that ordering in is that much more tempting. You could probably just get them to leave it at the door so you don’t have to deal with another human being at all. The trick with Crust is to go adventurous as their traditional pizzas such as the margherita can be average. The Peking duck with hoisin base is a winner.
