Best Gluten-Free Restaurants in Sydney

What "coeliac-safe" means in this guide

• Dedicated gluten-free — no wheat flour on the premises. Zero cross-contact risk.
• Coeliac-safe with protocols — shared kitchen, but with dedicated prep areas, dedicated fryers and trained staff.
• Gluten-free options — GF menu items available, but no specific coeliac cross-contamination protocols. Listed for context only.
