Hi there, We are back from our trip to Sydney. We LOVED China Doll! Thank you so much for your recommendations. Also on your recommendation went to Brioche. We ate so well when we were back. GF eating in Sydney was pretty easy. Keep up the good work. Fiona
Here are the other places we ate:
Tokonoma
Galileo
Cafe Sydney
China Doll
DARE (The Rocks)
Mad Mex (Darling Harbour)
Iku (Martin Place)
The Hatters Cafe (Katoomba)
Brioche (Balmain)
Vanto (QVB)
Rowies Cakes (Marrickville)
QVB Tea Room
Wow! You are the bees knees. So glad your hot date at China Doll went well – it’s a special place.
I love Rowies Cakes but haven’t been to the source, only picked them up in cafes – how was it???
I recently flew with United Airlines Sydney -San Francisco return. My GF meals were oragised through our Travel Agent and were met.
Ah! I wonder what you have to do if you’re booking independently. The flight was shared with Air NZ and one other airline both of which I think do give special meals and there were certainly some floating about… but nothing for me alas. Luckily I was tipped off about an awesome gf bakery (Mariposa) in San Francisco just before we left and stocked up. It’s so depressing when you’re dog tired, dealing with kids, on a 14 hour and 40 minute flight and you have to skip the food service, however dubious it looked! But the Mariposa goods saved the day – their pastry is phenomenal.

thank you. We are going to try out China Doll – it is a hot date!
Have you eaten at Chat Thai? They say they are gluten friendly but there menu is very non-specific.
Also do you have a good GF Chinese restaurant you would recommend?
Hi Fiona, I haven’t tried Chat Thai but a lot of Thai restaurants here know their stuff – Chinta Ria in Darling Harbour was recommended. A couple of thai restaurants are coeliac society approved, there’s a list here of places recommended by coeliacs too: http://www.coeliac.org.au/nsw-act/restaurants.html. Havent found a good gf Chinese, except for China Doll in Woolloomooloo, which is unbelievably good, one of my favourite places ever, but pretty fancy – only for hot dates. I’d love to find a good mid-range Chinese option, the Bamboo Dumpling Bar in Surry Hills have a couple of gf dumpling options apparently, Miss Chu are good though more rice paper rolls.
