Sushi Sushi is a chain of sushi cafes around Melbourne (and all around Australia too) that have selected hand rolls and sushi packs that are gluten free. And they have just started stocking gluten free soy sauce – it’s an extra 20c but better than no soy on your sushi!

Most of the stores I’ve been to have a sign near the counter that shows which sushi is gluten free. If you want to research before hand you can check out their website which details gluten free options (although it’s quite clunky to use).

Go forth and eat sushi!

See their website for a full list of locations.

Bizzarri Dolci is a bakery in East Malvern that make a beautiful range of biscuits and treats on site, lots of which are gluten free.

I dropped in on the weekend for some almond biscuits and Almond Butter Crunch for a Christmas party…serve with strawberries on a platter and you have a beautiful, quick, mess free dessert!

The staff are very helpful in pointing out what is gluten free too which is always nice.

Take a look at their website here and make sure you drop in for some treats soon!

Red Mullet is both a seafood restaurant and a fish and chippery. You’ll pay a little bit extra compared to the normal local fish and chip place here, but you’re getting quality every time. I’ve been here a few times now and every time has been excellent food, both dine in and take away.

They don’t do gluten free batter, but there are quite a few GF options on the menu without batter, like a Salmon fillet with sweet chilli sauce below. For some reason their online menu doesn’t list GF options, but the menu when you go there lists what is GF.

A great option for either a casual dine in restaurant meal or a quick take away.

If you have not tried Grill’d burgers yet you’re missing out…they are freshly made healthy burgers – a great alternative to fast food burgers, the chips are also nice and chunky. I have not yet tried a huge variety of burgers, every time I seem to choose the same burger because I love it so much – the Mustard & Pickled burger! And they now have gluten free buns!

This place is a bit dangerous if you’re walking past it on the way home from work…it’s right next to Flinders St station and the wafts of hot chips can be very tempting! It’s on the corner of Elizabeth and Flinders st, and also has a smaller shop on the Swanston St side of Flinders St station (right opposite Fed Square). Their chips are gluten free and they also do gluten free burger buns which can be quite a rarity!
