Gluten Free Restaurant in Melbourne: Dining Made Simple

Eating out gluten free can feel like extra work before you’ve even sat down. At Rick’s Place, a gluten free restaurant in Melbourne based in Kensington, we’ve tried to take that stress out of the equation. Every dish gets cooked fresh once you order, so we can adjust as needed and talk through any concerns.

Gluten free, Coeliac safe

Halal Certified

Vegan Options Available

Our Approach to Gluten Free Dining 

Rather than adding a single gluten free section to the menu, we’ve built dietary care into daily kitchen practice. Coeliac diners get dedicated fryers and blanching pots, reducing the risk of cross contact during cooking. 

We shop for stock daily instead of holding large amounts in storage. That gives us better control over what goes into each dish and keeps ingredients fresher across the board. 

What We Cater For 

Gluten free is one part of a wider commitment to dietary care. Here’s what else we cater for. 

  • Coeliac diners, with separate 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 
  • Dairy free, egg free, and onion and garlic free requests 

Just flag your needs when you order, and our team will do what they can. 

Getting Your Order Right 

A safe meal starts with clear communication before the kitchen gets involved. 

Speak Up Before You Order 

Tell us about your gluten free requirement when booking, ordering online, or sitting down to eat. Early warning gives our kitchen time to plan properly. 

We Adjust Dishes Where We Can 

Many dishes on our menu can flex around gluten free needs once we know what to avoid. 

However You Want to Eat 

We’ve built a few simple ways to enjoy Rick’s Place, gluten free or not. 
  • Dine in at our location on Macaulay Road 
  • Order takeaway for a quick pickup 
  • Book home delivery, handled by our own team 
  • Ask about catering for larger events 

What Guests Have Said

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.

Rick’s Place set out to make gluten free dining feel ordinary, not like a special request. Between dedicated equipment and a kitchen built to adjust, we’ve tried to close that gap properly.  Get in touch through our contact page to book a table or ask questions before you visit.

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.
