such a cute place wit a good amount of vegan options! started off with the garlic butter parm brussel sprouts and the sweet potato! both were sooo yum (even better when combined lol). for the mains, I got the eggplant thing which was … interesting. the eggplant itself was crispy and crunchy but the soup/wtew it was on was … not my fav lol. interesting flavors kinda reminded me of goulash! wish it was a little more seasoned and hot, but overall pretty good experience and i would go again! also the sweetest and friendliest server helped us and 10/10 for service and ambiance!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Absolutely delicious. Mostly gluten free menu and very accommodating for dairy free needs as well. Our waitress was so wonderful, too. A little chilly in the parklet but they had blankets for us. 10/10.

Goddamn this place is a gem. If you’re gluten-free, Firefly will become your favourite restaurant in the city. If you’re gluten-full, I reckon it still will too :) For starters, the atmosphere here is very warm and cozy. Perfect for a fall evening. The art and eccentric ornaments/details don’t go unnoticed. I really appreciate how this doesn’t just feel like a restaurant — it’s almost like an extension of your own home (just with awe-striking gluten-free food.) Which brings me to… the gluten-free food. Fried chicken?! I mean… how?! This was my first fried chicken ever, and it did not disappoint. It also exceeded my boyfriend’s expectations (who loves the gluten) — so you know it’s good. The squash dish was exceptional — so too were the sweet potatoes. But the cherry on top of it all was the brownie with cornflakes and vanilla ice custard… I haven’t stopped thinking about it ever since. It’s a 99.9% gluten free menu, asides from 1 side of bread which can be swapped for cornbread (if I’m recalling correctly) so BASICALLY it’s HEAVEN ON EARTH
