Hi,

We are going to Sydney next month with our daughter who is 10 and a celiac.

Do any Sydney people have any suggestions for gluten free food in Sydney CBD, Manly or Bondi. We will not have a car with us and will be relying on public transport and cabs.

I notice a place called Wellbeing which is around Sydney and looks for for gluten-free noodles, curries, soups etc.

THANKS! :)

Hi I live in Sydney and I have Celiacs. There are many places that are very much aware of what foods have gluten.

I would recommend you see the NSW Celiacs webpage:

Open Original Shared Link This link has the places to eat by regions in Sydney.

The "Wellbeing cafes" are fantastic and there are 2 in the middle of Sydney's CBD at Shp81/ 455 George St Sydney and Shp5/ 345 George St Sydney. If you go to any one of those they will tell you where the others are.

In The Rocks on Argyle St is a small cafe that is completely gluten free and has excellent Kababs and Pita breads.

If you get a chance to venture into the inner city to Newtown there is a restaurant there called "Twelve" which has a complete gluten free menu and some of the best desserts I have tasted.

In Neutral Bay between the city and on the way to Manly there is a pizza place called "Melt Gourmet Pizza" - which has gluten free pizzas, they just cost a little more than the wheat based pizza's.

The website has locations in Manly but in many places they know their ingredients and deal with food allergies.

In Manly there is a franchise of icecreams called "New Zealand Naturals" which lists which icecreams are gluten free. In case your after a treat.

Enjoy Sydney and have a look at the web site for more places.

Thanks so much SydneyGF for your great suggestions.

I did a bit of research and already came across that place in the rocks but the others ones sound great too.

I am sure that we will find gluten free food but it is nice to hear from a local.

Thanks again. :)

Hi Amber -

Well I'm not a local, ;) but here's what I found while I was in Sydney:

Iku Wholefood was one of my favorite places to grab something quick:

Open Original Shared Link

They have a few locations in the cbd and several more in the surrounding areas.

I loved that place in The Rocks on Argyle. It was a happy day when I was searching for food and randomly ran into it :) I think it's called DARE.

There's a place in Wynyard Staion (or just near it) called...omg I don't remember. Maybe SydneyGF knows. It's a soup and smoothie place. They are very clear about which menu items are gluten-free. Another good grab and go type option...and not too expensive.

They also sell these amazing gluten-free muffin/cupcake type desserts all over the city. They are made by Roberto's bakery and they are amazing. I'll rack my brain and post of list of places that sell them. Sorry that wasn't too helpful. I'll come back later when this weird memory lapse I seem to be experiencing goes away :rolleyes:

Thanks Mango for your suggestions.

Will definately keep an eye out for those muffins - I am sure she will love those.

The Iku Wholefood sounds good but not sure if I will be able to convince a 10 year old that it's good.

If you want to take a RISK (I ate 3x and got caught out once) then Malaya is FANTASTIC FOOD .... they say they can do gluten-free but I did get caught out but I'm extremely sensitive!

There were 2x pizza places at (Hugo's kinda celeb place) and another just opposite at Kings Cross ....

Overall it was a little difficult, the australian idea of gluten free catering doesn't seem to be my idea... that is it seems to have become so common its not really treated seriously.

For instance there was a pub, just before the rocks at the exit from the bridge footway on the S. side and the waiter said he was gluten intolerant, said they could make stuff and then didn't seem to understand beer contains gluten????

Damned annoying, as in quite a few places I paid for food I didn't eat... so we developed a technique whereby I would order 1st and my girlfriend would then eat if it looked suscpicious.

Oh yeah good point :). Iku does have yummy desserts though. :)

The place near Wynyard Station is called Pure. It's in Hunter Connection near George and Hunter St. It's just soup and smoothies and juice, but it's good safe food. There's a place called Salad Works a little farther down Hunter St. that sells the Roberto's muffins.

Thank you SydneyGF, Mango04, GFP and Tracey for your helpful suggestions.

We had a great few days in Sydney and my coeliac 10 year old daughter got to try some delicious gluten freen food whilst we were there.

Wellbeing - she had the beef noodle salad which was really very nice. They really should have signs in the store saying ' gluten free' on the products that are gluten-free.

DARE at the Rocks. She had a gluten free chicken wrap and a really delicious chocolate brownie. She loved the whole meal.

On Saturday we went to Bondi Beach and visited WILSONS PLACE at 65 Bondi Road.

She had the best gluten free pizza she has ever had there. The base was thin and crispy and the toppings delicious. Every topping on the menu was gluten free and they had delicious gelati too. Highly recommended but it only has two very small tables and very limited seating.

Didn't get to David Jones or find any of those elusive muffins though I did keep my eyes open for them.

I really think that every cafe, restaurant, take away food place should have a symbol on their menus indicated what items are gluten free, dairy free etc. etc. They would get more customers and less hassle.

Just a question but have you tried the Pizza's (place in Melbourne who's name escapes me)..I wish I could remember the name but its on a long "hip" shopping St. runs more or less N-S and next door to a Russian resto/cafe... if you go a bit further up there is a bar on the corner, kinda rough looking camera over the door and a sign saying "no shirts or ties" over the door.

That sounds like 'Pizza Piazza' in Chapel Street, Prahran. Yes, we have been there quite a few times and it is great because they have an extensive pizza and pasta menu and the owner is a coeliac so they really do get it. It is very good but the pizza at Wilsons Place in Bondi is better. I really think Wilsons have perfected the gluten free pizza base. They were telling me that they spent alot of time getting it just right.

Yes but do they have gluten-free beer! :D

Now you say the name yep, that was it.... a real life saver for me... I honestly think hunting down gluten-free resto's I saw more of Melbourne than most people... my girlfriends family we were stopping with who lived their whole lives in Melbourne hadn't been to some of the burbs we went to for gluten-free food.

Yes, they do have gluten free beer.

I know what you mean about going out of you way to get gluten free food. We do that wherever we go. It is a good way of seeing places you would not normally go to.

There needs to be a really good website for gluten free dining for Australia. The ozemail one is okay but is not updated and not laid out very well.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system
