Most Melbourne venues manage gluten-free as an exception, a modified dish, a flagged plate, a conversation with the kitchen. Onda removes the exception entirely. There are no gluten-containing ingredients anywhere in our kitchen, and Coeliac Australia has independently verified our ingredients and preparation methods.
For a function, that changes the whole shape of the night. Your coeliac guests aren’t handed a shorter menu, your host isn’t managing the seating chart around dietary needs, and nobody is asking the waitstaff what’s safe. Every plate that leaves our kitchen already is.
Function planning usually means managing a guest list of competing dietary needs. At Onda, that work is already done, which frees you to plan around the celebration instead of the catering.
No substitutions, no separate plates, no dish left off the table for anyone. Your whole group shares the same menu and the same dishes, which is how a function is meant to work.
Coeliac Australia accreditation covers our kitchen practices, ingredients and preparation methods. Cross-contamination isn't managed at Onda, it's structurally impossible because gluten never enters the building.
Beyond gluten free, our menus can be built vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, or onion- and garlic-free, with halal options available. Tell us the requirements at enquiry, and they're built into the package.
Mint green walls, monstera murals, curved blue suede seating and vintage leadlight windows across two corner sites in Richmond and Fitzroy. It looks nothing like a standard Melbourne function room, which is exactly the point.
From milestone birthdays to corporate dinners, every function at Onda runs on the same fully gluten-free kitchen and the same customisable Latin American menus.
Three steps from first enquiry to the night itself. Our events team handles the rest.
Send through your date, guest count, preferred venue and any dietary requirements across your group. We’ll confirm availability at Richmond or Fitzroy and come back to you.
Our chefs put together a menu around your guest list, style and budget, canapés, share plates, a seated banquet, or a beverage package to run alongside.
On the day, we handle setup, service and every course. You arrive, your guests eat, and nobody has to ask a single question about the food.
