Excellent service. They knew we wanted to share the soup so they placed in 2 bowls, which made the whole dining experience easier and more enjoyable!The food were served in large portions so valued for money. Food tasted not bad too.

We’ve been waiting to eat here for quite a while and finally got to have lunch. We ordered the pie of the day (steak), salt and pepper calamari, and slow cooked lamb salad, these were enough to fill 3 stomachs.
The pie of the day was quite filling, the mince inside was a little bland however it was better with the ketchup. The crust was good, no complaints, not overly crispy or flakey and definitely didn’t fall apart. Overall it was pretty good and filling.
Salt and pepper Calamari was amazing! There was a heaped amount of calamari and came with three dipping sauces so definitely worth what you pay. The calamari wasn’t over cooked and ended up being a favourite to share with everyone.
Both dishes above came with shoe string fries and a moderately sized salad. The fries were crisp and delicious, a nice touch to everything and the salad was just the right amount, not too much that you can’t finish.
I love a salad but I’m always scared to order them in case I don’t like them, either because they’re bland or have too much vinegar. The lamb salad had a nice aioli dressing and the salad to meat ratio was surprising, there was quite a decent amount of meat (again, bang for your buck). The slow cooked lamb had crunchy and soft parts that were enjoyable and most importantly never dry. Definitely a highlight of this meal.
The atmosphere was comforting and home-y, a nice dining place and the service was terrific!
Delicious food, lovely service. Amazing to have somewhere I can eat safely. The food is very tasty - the chef really understands flavour. The restaurant is kept nice and warm which is also lovely!
been wanting to try this place for years as they are always busy and the food concept seems interesting. was not disappointed. food was delicious and owner is friendly and staff helpful.
thank you for the lovely dinner we had.
A real treasure find for those with food intolerances (and their friends who want to eat out with them). A delightfully varied menu to select from. Meals beautifully cooked and presented with eye appeal as well as taste. Healthy servings to leave everyone satisfied. Take your time to enjoy and you’ll leave smiling.
Went out for a 40th and ordering meals for my wife can be a challenge. Tim (the 'intolerant chef') went out his way to make her dining experience wonderful; creating 2 completely off the menu dishes (he spent the time talking to her the day before to make sure all her needs were catered for). The dessert was so delicious I wasn't even offered a taste! It was the first time my wife had been excited about going out for a meal in more than 2 years. We will most definitely be going back. My Main and dessert were also amazing; some of the best ribs I have ever had.
This restraunt is fantastic!! The food is delicious and full of flavour (the pasta and parma are especially great!!) . As a person with an intolerance to onion and garlic, it is so nice to be able to order anything on the menu! The staff are so friendly and helpfull. I highly recommend this place!!
Great options for celiacs and people with lactose intolerance. Everything we had tasted great and found the staff to be very friendly. A restaurant closer to the city would be great.
We shared the calamari entree then the duck and penne pasta for dinner between 3 of us. Then we shared two desserts - the dark chocolate pudding and the lemon meringue pie. It was all delicious - i loved every bite. My wife was particularly on cloud 9 as she could eat it all being gluten and lactose intolerant. Seriously, she was glowing for some time after the meal. It was even the first time she had had lactose free ice cream with a dessert in a restaurant - let alone a home made one like it was here! The staff were very friendly too. We wish there was a restaurant like this at home in Brisbane.
Best Parma I've ever had (granted I haven't been able to eat one in the 3 years since being diagnosed as Coeliac). Even my pub-Parma-loving partner agreed it was the best he's ever had. Simple atmosphere, great food and outstanding service. My new favorite local go-to!
My wife and I had dinner here and must say it's pretty good. The menu is completely FODMAP friendly and the services was great. The only down side about dinner was the quinoa side which was part of the roost lamb dish tasted a bit too lemony and was out of place next to the sweetness of the sauce.
Fantastic! I had the lamb and my fiancee had the pork belly. Both were incredibly tasty. We then finished off with coffees and the lemon meringue tart and loved every bite. The staff were incredible, the atmosphere was great and we could not taste the lack of gluten, dairy and other allergens. We loved not having to ask what was in each dish- truly great not to be 'those people' at dinner. Would recommend to our friends for sure. Many thanks!
I love the Fox in Box!! Great Parma, amazing salmon! A salted caramel slice from out of this world! Ryan did a fantastic job serving us, we will be back for sure!
How amazing is it that this unique establishment exists just a stone's throw away from my new home. Having been recommended to eat a dairy, gluten and fructose free diet it's almost impossible to eat out in a nice restaurant. This place caters to all my needs though! I had the beef ragu pasta and my boyfriend had the parma, both were really good! Very flavoursome meals thy had generous servings. I will say that I didn't feel like the gluten-free pasta was any different to what I'd buy from the supermarket and cook myself, which isn't that great..... It was highlighted in the menu has being pretty amazing so I guess I was disappointed with this. The chocolate pudding was gorgeous though, and especially the rice cream it came with! My boyfriend loved the caramel slice, but admittedly there was too much caramel in it for my liking as it was too sweet.
I am quite shocked to find so many negative reviews of this place. Last time I went there, which was on a whim about 2 weeks ago, I left feeling quite pleasant. Food was great. I ordered the Chicken Parma and asked if it was made using any onion or garlic at all and was very pleased to hear that everything was fodmap safe. The wait staff was very helpful and cheerful. I couldn't really find anything that was particularly wrong with the place. I personally think that perhaps it would be wise to apply empathy and to place your grievances forward to the staff members before blowing up in the reviews section. Everybody, calm down.
My husband and I just came in for a quick lunch and we where blown away!! The service was fantastic, The chef really knows what he is doing with the food and his knowledge of Allergy's / intolerance. He put my mind at ease, I knew what I was about to eat wasn't going to cause me any issues! We had the risotto and Parma, both where incredible! My husband doesn't suffer from food like I do and even to him the food was yummy. It's nice to know have somewhere I can take my family and they will enjoy the food as much as I do. - Thanks for your service and expertise today :)
Ian the owner was fabulous! He catered for all of our dietary requirements. Haven't had beer, lasagne or a sausage roll in forever!!!! One extremely happy customer.
Food is amazing and was so nice to be able to choose anything without the worry of cross contamination. A must visit if you have a gluten, dairy or fructose intolerance. Booking a table is probably a good idea it was pretty busy. The staff could have been more attentive this the reason they lost a point on this visit but it looks like the owner was training up some newbies so perhaps this problem is a thing of the past!
The food was good for restrictions, ambience was average, waitstaff bubbly but uninformed. Big bill for 5 people. But left happy. Will be back again
These guys are angels for people with intolerances, coeliac disease, fructose malabsorption and other allergies.
I visited last night for my birthday dinner with a girlfriend, both of us with diet related autoimmune conditions and we were looked after with the utmost care, diligence and attention to detail.
Not only was the food and drink absolutely divine, but the chef even created fresh savoury sauces and a whole new dessert for my friend from scratch.
I can't explain how lovely it is to feel 'normal' in a world that thinks our health conditions are a fad diet. We love you guys. Can't wait to come back again!
We LOVE this place! My daughter who is gluten, dairy, corn, salicylate and amine intolerant can't eat at any other restaurant. This place caters for everyone with food intolerances no matter how tricky. Last night (Thursday) was pizza night and we ordered a pizza with a pumpkin sauce instead of a tomato sauce. It was topped with roasted root vegetables and grilled chicken. It was absolutely delicious. My daughter left with a smile on her face and said on the way home I can't believe we live so close to a restaurant like this. We will be back. Thank you.

I absolutely loved Fox in the Box! My Partner surprised me by taking me here and I couldn't recommend it higher! For the past year I have been suffering with stomach troubles and been placed on a low fodmap diet. I am able to stick to the diet quiet well at home, but have struggled for the past year going to restaurants and ordering out as there is often little for me that is safe to consume. Fox in the Box Caters for people with food allergies including wheat, gluten onion and garlic (all of which are irritants to me especially the onion and garlic). I was able to comfortably sit and order from the menu knowing that there would be no onion or garlic used in my meals, as Fox in the Box does not even have onion or garlic on the premises! I ordered the Chicken schnitzel, which was Delicious! And my parter ordered the Pork Belly which he loved! He does not suffer from any food allergies or irritants and he mentioned that even though gluten free flours and different herbs are used to cook with, it does not compromise the flavor at all! He loved his meal! The service is also fantastic! I was made to feel so comfortable and relaxed and any questions about the food or ingredients were answered straight away. They are so understanding of your needs and go out of their way to make sure you can enjoy a safe meal when you go out😊 I couldn't recommend them any higher! We loved it! THANKYOU SO MUCH FOX IN THE BOX!😊😊😊😊😊🎀
Amazing !!! Was very impressed ! I find it so hard to find places to eat where I don't have to pick half the ingredients out of the salad . Fox in the box has so many different options , no gluten in the kitchen what so ever ! I feel as though I'm not missing out now on food I see others eating. Can't wait to come back !!
The pumpkin and feta salad was great as was the Lamb sandwich that had a curry sauce inside . Delicious !!! 😍😍 very happy girl haha
Loved it!. The negative comments on here are all false. I had an amazing dinner with perfect service. I am fructose and lactose intolerant and they catered to all my needs. It was a perfect meal and I was extremely happy with it. I walked out so full and content. The portion sizes are fantastic! Great job guys, will definitely be returning!
Celebrated my daughter's 21st here. It was fantastic for her to be able to have many food options. Those in party without allergies similarly enjoyed their meals. The special order FODMAP birthday cake by Tim was absolutely delicious and special.
Best FODMAP-friendly restaurant around!. We dined at Fox In The Box on Mother's Day and enjoyed a special 3-course meal that was entirely FODMAP friendly, which is fantastic for my mother, who manages her fructose-malabsorption. The food was delicious, especially considering the entire menu was gluten and fructose free, which isn't always as pleasing for my brother and I as it is to mum. The zucchini pasta with eggplant meatballs was wonderfully seasoned, the flathead tails and moroccan lamb were especially yummy, and we finished the afternoon with a rich chocolate mousse and a passionfruit tart, both of which were incredibly satisfying. Well worth the 1-hour drive from our home, I'm sure we will definitely return to sample the rest of their menu and we could not recommend this restaurant more for those managing a gluten intolerance, fructose malabsorption, or those unable to consume dairy.
Absolutely delicious. Came here with a friend on a voucher & we were treated so nicely. Food was yum, place was clean & service was great. We shall see you again fox in a box
Awesome schnitzels! Better than most with breadcrumbs and they're gluten and fructose free. Great to have so many choices when you're on a restrictive diet. Highly recommended.
I went to this restaurant today and although the food was not amazing I thought the Lamb Salad and Traditional Lasagna were tasty, of a good portion size, satisfying and above all SAFE for me to eat. The latter is a luxury for me. Paired with a great Grigio it was a nice meal and I would go back.
Great Night. We went to the Fox in the Box on Saturday night, we had a great night
The food was wonderful and the staff where really helpful
We will be going again as soon as we can
Thanks guys
So wonderful!. After suffering from food intolerances for the good part of 5 years, it was fantastic to find a place who caters for all of my low FODMAP needs, and also understands them!
Both my partner, who is non-FODMAP, and I had the parma and it was so delightful! He even went on to say it was one of the best he has ever had! Great size and great taste, which normally isn't associated with low FODMAP.
I couldn't finish my meal so they boxed it up for me to take home which was great.
For dessert I had the Belgium flourless slice, though small it was just enough as it was so rich and decadent.
Overall a 10/10 experience!!
Great food and awesome service. My wife has multiple intolerances and finding a restaurant that is able to cater for those is always tough, let alone one that serves consistently tasty food. This has never been an issue when we have visited Tim and the staff at Fox in the Box. We have always been delighted with the food, service and general knowledge of food intolerances and ability to cater for them. I myself enjoying the parma or the pork belly on multiple occasions. Another great aspect is the ability to take home meals. We often stock up on plain pizza bases that make for quick and tasty meals at home. Thanks Tim for a great time every time.
LOVED this place; will definitely be back! Excellent for those with food intolerances AND those without. Delicious food, lovely staff, fab service, great atmosphere. Very highly recommend!!
Yum. First time in my life I've had a Parma and was well worth the wait, no food envy here, complete guts finished it all and really enjoyed my meal, had chocolate pudding for desert and took a brownie home for later. Staff were really friendly from the moment i made the booking. Seriously pleased to have found a place that's completely gluten free as so often I've been told my meal is gluten free at restaurants and had to deal with the side effects of it not being so.
Great food!!. Love it!! Can't believe it's all LF/FF and GF! Will be back a lot more times!
The best. This is the best restaurant! The staff are fantastic, never felt unwelcome or like someone annoying who needs to change everything off the menu. That's because I can eat everything on the menu and everything is delicuous. My Mum is the same as me and we love coming here. My partner can eat everything and he loves the food too. It's because it's real food and it's tasty. I think people get scared of gluten free and no onion or garlic. They think it can't possibly taste any good. Well the chef is a genius and everything tastes amazing. Especially the deserts :)
Great!. Have been living in Brighton for years, and also living with food issues.. little to my knowledge a restaraunt living in my neighbouring suburb of Gardenvale was a fox living in a box!
catered for all my issues, including ZERO onion, without the worry of cross contamination. Im just so excited in having a 3 course meal without having to worry about anything!
the chef was fantastic as he came out and spoke to us. I enjoyed the roasted pork so much i finished off my daughters! haha!
friendly staff and cute interior. will be back
Select carefully, but plenty of choices. I loved it for the ability to choose every single item from the menu.
With fructose malabsorption, I love it when I can eat out where I chef has developed dishes without relying on onion for flavouring. The salmon pattie was enjoyable, with tempura style salad leaves (strange, but effective, adding a crunchy dimension), sauce and a beautifully poached egg. Lamb and quinoa salad was fine, but not overwhelming. I would have loved to have tried more, pity that Brighton it half an hour's drive for me.
Friendly, knowledgeable service, good food and a menu which offers plenty of variety. Somewhere you could take non food intolerance friends and they'd enjoy it too. Owner spent a great deal of time and offered helpful suggestions for my current dietary situation. Much appreciated, thank you!
Excellent food! lovely food! great atmosphere! FLAKY GLUTEN FREE PASTRY!! thoroughly impressed and will be back for more!
Good quality accessible food at last!. I was at the Fox in the Box the same night as Matty J and had the opposite experience to his.
Myself and other family members have food intolerances and I really enjoyed being able to go out to dinner with my family, order whatever I liked off the menu and not have to ask questions about ingredients. I enjoy good quality food and am happy to pay for quality over quantity. The food I ordered was all of high quality, I had the venison and the flavours were superbly matched. For dessert I had the vanilla slice which was equally enjoyable. Other members of my family (without food intolerances) also enjoyed the meal.
The atmosphere was nice and our waiter was very knowledgeable. If you want a $12 parma as big as your head, go to a musty pub. If you want high quality, accessible food and a pleasant dining experience, then you will like Fox in the Box.
Couldn't be happier!. I was At Fox In The Box last night with my boyfriend. I could not disagree more with Matty!! ( maybe review McDonalds)
Our food was incredible! My boyfriend had the schnitzel which was delicious! I had the special which was venison, it was amazing! We shared a pudding noir and it was yummy! The place was very busy and full the waiter was on his own, he explained that he had two sick staff member yet still managed to make sure our glasses were topped up! We saw them turn away eight people, I'm so glad we booked! I can't wait to go back!!!
P.s Fries are better at Fox in the box!!
Fantastic! Eye catching decor, great service and delicious gluten free foods. AND NO ONION! I'm in heaven. Keep up the great work. :)
Visited The Fox last night for a special dinner menu "A winter warmer". The food was fantastic, a had eye fillet and it literally melted in my mouth. The price was great, $65 per person for a three course meal, in which left myself and my husband feeling full and for once not feeling sick! The service was efficient, friendly and the owner was extremely educated in FODMAP & food intolreances. We were lucky enough to be seated in a booth, but I'd advise to call and book, as this place filled up fast. Overall, a great night out & highly advise everyone with an allergy, (or not one!) to visit!!
FANTASTIC!! Came across this place via Urbanspoon. THE most knowledgeable staff in relation to food intolerances. Had a great BLT and coffee whilst there and ended up buying (online from Amazon) the best food intolerance book on the market by Sue Shephard. Will def be back to Fox in the Box :D
The Best Place on the Planet!. I have just been diagnosed with fructose and glucose intolerance, and wondered not only what I can eat, but where on earth I can be catered for without feeling like an outcast! Well what a gem of a find! An amazing menu, that caters for everybody, and specializes in food intolerances. Tim is awesome! Very friendly. He cooks up an absolute storm in the kitchen, and the food is not only delicious, but beautifully presented. I can honestly say that I ate like a King, and it was the first time in a year that I didn't feel sick after eating. My friend who does not suffer from food intolerances loved it, and can't wait to return.
Fox in the Box. Amazing! All food allergies are dealt with brilliantly but the meals are great for everyone - my friends with no allergies are now going back there without me! The pudding noir is the best dessert I have ever eaten. Tim is a wealth of knowledge re a low FODMAP diet and the staff are always very friendly. But best of all - the food is just so tasty!
Great coffee! Fantasic food and sensational service! I have been there 3 times and each time it keeps getting better. The prices are brilliant and the gluton free options are there for pretty much everything on the menu including their chocolate pudding! Fun and friendly staff. A must visit!
First time in Fox in the Box, and you have to give it a try! It’s the cutest little spot with amazing FODMAP - suitable for my hubby who has IBS. The service we received was so amazing and we will definitely be back again.
Wonderful and kind service, delicious food and how amazing to have a place with a menu that delivers on so many dietary requirements. Even purchased the FODMAP friendly 100s and 1000s!
Amazing. Worth driving a few extra clicks to get here.
Haven't been for a few years but it's still excellent!!!!
Had GF Parma. 10 out of 10.
Had Lemon Meringue. 11 out of 10.
As a GF Plus Other Stuff person this place is great. Fine dining food but relaxed casual atmosphere. No worries for me, no compromise for my partner!
The reason is simple, they know their stuff and it is fine dining level, great tasting food!
Tried the Fox in the Box's homemade *Butter Chicken sauce, *Red Thai Curry Paste and *Teriyaki Sauce - all were AMAZING!!! Made cooking a breeze knowing it was allergy friendly and great quality - and the curry was mild with lots of flavour which I loved. I returned the jars tonight, stocked up on some more and will be back again! Thanks for allowing us to fine dine all week FITB!! Can't wait to try new sauces! Keep it up! :) ps. also loved the (gf df onion and garlic free) chicken parma tonight w fries - absolutely delicious as always!!
The food was delicious, beautifully presented and the menu was full of choices I felt very at ease to eat anything regardless of being on a low FODMAP diet and having a corn intolerance. The waitress knew exactly what went into the food and was very helpful and hospitable. Would definitely come again and perhaps order some pre-made frozens too!
