Asian:
Penang Affair, Fitzroy

Jade Village, Mitcham
Heard of this place but I’m unlikely to ever be around this side of town
Gedera, Caulfield
17 Derby Rd
I know of this place but didn’t realise they do GF – they do Sri Lankan food – yum!

A French creperie I will have to try! Love crepes!

Abla’s: Caters for the gluten-intolerant on request.
Bacash: Includes gluten-free dishes on menu and functions.
Bistro Guillaume: Can modify every dish.
Botanical: Trains staff to advise patrons.
Canvas: Uses symbols to identify dishes that are gluten-free.
Cecconi’s Cantina: Plans menu; stocks gluten-free bread.

Grossi Florentino: Makes its own gluten-free pasta, offers gluten-free rolls.
Jacques Reymond: Menu largely free of gluten, caters to special needs.
The Italian: Offers bought-in, gluten-free pasta dish on request.

MoVida: Separate menu for gluten and dairy-intolerant.

I haven’t had the pleasure of trying any of the above restaurants except for MoVida (which was beautiful) – I think I need to celebrate more “special” occasions and try a few of these restaurants!
I think we need to go out and eat Caz lol
What a fantastic list! I visit Melbourne often to catch up with my Mum so will definitiely be utilising this list on future visits!
