DINE WITH JOY
Named for its owner Joy Dine, who has coeliac disease as well as a huge talent for creating delicious gluten-free dishes. Often inspired by her native South Africa, Joy’s scrumptious pies are a fan favourite, particularly beef, chicken curry pie or mushroom – and her gluten-free South African melk tert is irresistible.

This little family-run bakery in suburban Brisbane has been a local favourite for over 30 years. One of its owners started specialising in glutenfree bakes after being diagnosed with coeliac disease. His baked cheesecake, lamingtons and gluten-free takes on classic vanilla slices and jam donuts are absolutely delicious.

GOOD TO KNOW
There’s so much for you to enjoy when you’re living a gluten-free lifestyle, but for more confidence when you’re dining out, keep in mind that only bakeries that are Coeliac Australia accredited have undergone training and an onsite audit to validate the gluten-free menu items. For bakeries without accreditation, it is recommended that you verify that the food offered is indeed gluten free and prepared without contamination before consuming it.
