Coeliac Restaurant in Melbourne: Practices That Go Beyond a Label

Plenty of menus carry a gluten free tag. Fewer kitchens back it up with real practice. Rick’s Place, a coeliac restaurant in Melbourne based in Kensington, has built specific steps into daily cooking to reduce cross contact risk for coeliac guests.

What We Do Differently 

Saying a kitchen is coeliac friendly means little without action behind it. We use dedicated fryers and blanching pots for coeliac orders, keeping gluten containing ingredients away from that equipment. 

Every dish is also cooked fresh once you order it. Nothing sits pre-made under a heat lamp, which gives our kitchen the flexibility to handle your requirements properly. 

From Booking to Plate 

A safe meal for coeliac diners starts well before cooking begins. 

Flag It Early 

Let us know about your coeliac requirement when you book, order online, or arrive for dine-in. This gives our team time to prepare properly. 

Consistent Handling Throughout 

Once flagged, your dish gets treated differently from order through to plating, using the separate equipment set aside for coeliac guests. 

More Than Just Coeliac Care 

We’ve built our kitchen around a broad range of dietary needs, not just one. 
  • Halal certified meat and poultry, with no wine used in sauces 
  • Low FODMAP and lower carb requests 
  • Vegetarian and vegan dishes through our vegan menu 
  • Dairy free, egg free, and onion and garlic free modifications 
Mention what you need whenever you order, however you choose to eat with us. 

However You Choose to Order 

Whether you’re after a sit-down meal or something delivered, coeliac precautions apply either way. 
  • Dine in at our location in Kensington 
  • Order takeaway for a quick pickup 
  • Get home delivery, handled by our own team 
  • Ask about catering for coeliac friendly events 

Fresh Stock, Bought Daily 

We shop for ingredients daily rather than holding large amounts in storage. That gives tighter control over what enters the kitchen, which matters for coeliac diners who need consistency, not guesswork. 

A Midweek Lunch Deal Worth Knowing 

Planning lunch sometime Wednesday to Friday? Mention “Gimme15” when you pay for 15 per cent off, dine-in only.

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.

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!
