Ed’s Hastings — Restaurant in Melbourne

This is a great little American-style diner in burbs of Hastings, with a twist: the whole menu is gluten free. But the crumbing is as good as anything you'll find made with wheat flour (and better than many too!). The burger buns (not pictured) are great compared to the GF options at other casual restaurants.

The portions are generous, perfectly cooked, delicious and very well priced.

To top it off there is an extensive craft beer menu, including the full Two Bays gluten free brewery and many smaller Ninch brewers. There's also half a dozen each of mid and very low alcohol beer options. The wine list is also generous and skews local.

There are great local feel and coming on a Wednesday night there were clearly many regulars enjoying some friendly banter with the owner.

A thoroughly enjoyable experience and well...

Thank you baby cheesus for Ed's! 🙏🏼 Swung by initially for a quick takeaway fries and pickle slaw in the middle of a hectic work day. As a coeliac, the words "quick", "easy", "affordable", "delicious", and "coeliac safe" rarely come together in a sentence but Ed's ticks all those boxes. I'd been hanging for a decent burger for a few months so came back for a proper sit down the following week. The cheeseburger was incredible. The portion size was generous and even better, didn't break the bank. My mate (non coeliac) said he wouldn't know it was gf from taste or textures so A++

Staff incredibly friendly and efficient. Venue was clean, decor on point, awesome little spot - whether that be at the bar, at a table or takeaway on your lap...

This place is a coeliac's heaven! For the first time in years, we have been able to order chicken schnitzel from a menu, and its real chicken breast - not that horrible processed stuff. They also serve desserts and have a range of gluten free beers. We over ordered (intentionally) and had chicken schnitzels, chicken wings and garlic bread - and 5 hours later we are still full. Well worth the 35min drive to know that we can order safely and have food not often available as a safe option at other venues. There is off-street parking, outdoor and indoor seating, and dog bowls outside for canine friends. I also saw a few people picking up takeaway. Would definitely return here for a guilty feed of...
