Best Gluten Free Dining in Melbourne: A Kitchen That Adjusts

Finding some of the best gluten free dining in Melbourne shouldn’t mean settling for a single safe dish. Rick’s Place, based in Kensington, has built gluten free care into daily cooking rather than treating it as a side menu.

Highly Rated Dining

Gluten free, Coeliac safe

Halal Certified

Vegan Options Available

What Sets Our Approach Apart

We use separate fryers and blanching pots for coeliac orders, reducing cross contact risk during cooking. Everything is also made fresh once you order it, giving our kitchen room to adjust properly rather than working from something pre-made. 

How We Handle Gluten Free Requests

A good experience starts with a simple conversation before cooking begins. 

Flag It Early 

Let us know about your gluten free needs when you book, order online, or sit down to eat. 

We Adjust Dishes, Not Just Offer One Option 

Since nothing is pre-prepared, our kitchen can genuinely modify a wider range of dishes for you. 

Wider Dietary Care at Rick’s Place

Gluten free dining is one part of a broader approach to dietary needs. 
  • Coeliac diners, with dedicated fryers and blanching pots 
  • Halal certified meat and poultry, with no wine used in sauces 
  • Low FODMAP and lower carb dishes 
  • Vegetarian and vegan options through our vegan menu

What Our Guests Are Saying

We’re proud to be a favourite dining destination for locals and visitors alike.

Love going to Rick’s Restaurant, very welcoming and warm. The food is delicious, with refreshing drinks. Very nice design and spacious. It’s a local, easy to get to Italian restaurant in Kensington.

Caitlin Symons

Our mains, Lamb shank and Surf n Turf, not only looked beautiful but were delicious. The wine selection is also great, matching the different dishes on the menu.

Whitzwolf

I literally love this place, authentic Italian food at a reasonable price. Rick is such a nice guy and did great drinks and made our night an awesome experience!
