The Botanica Vaucluse

Coeliac Australia accredited venue with a 100% gluten-free kitchen. Every dish on the menu is gluten-free, with only sourdough bread (brought in from an external bakery) containing gluten — this is not baked on site and is the only gluten item on the premises. The kitchen is completely separate from any gluten handling. Multiple coeliac diners report zero reactions across visits. Perfectly safe for coeliac dining.

The menu uses VE for vegan options. For example, it marks VE next to dishes like buckwheat porridge, field pea whipped tofu, roasted eggplant with miso hummus, and koshihikari rice pudding, but the kitchen shares space with non-vegan ingredients like meat, dairy, eggs, and shellfish. Cross-contamination is possible. The allergen disclaimer says the kitchen handles nuts and shellfish, so it can't guarantee completely allergen-free food, meaning vegan diners can order marked dishes with confidence but should know there's a cross-contamination risk from shared equipment.

The menu labels DF on many items. Those items include warm marinated toolunka olives, Mooloolaba prawn toast, kangaroo tartare, field pea whipped tofu, southern calamari, glazed spatchcock, Aquna murray cod, wagyu, fries rosemary salt, and various DF drinks. FindMeGlutenFree reviewers said the venue accommodates dairy-free. However, the kitchen works with dairy ingredients like cheeses, butter, and cream, and there is no mention of any dedicated dairy-free equipment or preparation area.

The (V) symbol appears on dishes like Burnt pear & ricotta pancake and Eggs your way with halloumi, while vegan (VE) and non-vegetarian (NV) items are also clearly marked on the menu. The kitchen is shared and handles all ingredients, so cross-contamination is possible, and vegetarian diners can choose from those clearly marked options.

The menu offers several seafood and vegetable dishes suitable for pescatarians, clearly listed as entrées and mains. The kitchen handles meat but pescatarian options are available and identifiable from the menu descriptions. No dedicated pescatarian equipment, but dishes can be selected with confidence.

The menu lists dishes containing nuts (pecan praline, hazelnut praline, macadamia, pistachio, almond, chestnut, walnut) and the menu disclaimer states the kitchen handles nuts and shellfish. The venue says they take every precaution but cannot guarantee completely allergen-free food. No nut-free zone or dedicated equipment is mentioned. Diners with nut allergies should notify staff and expect best-effort accommodations.

The menu includes shellfish dishes such as oysters, Mooloolaba prawn, scallops, and Skull Island tiger prawns. A disclaimer confirms the kitchen handles shellfish. Precautions are taken to avoid cross-contamination, but the venue states it cannot guarantee any dish is completely shellfish-free. Diners with shellfish allergies are advised to notify staff, and best-effort measures will be applied.

The menu includes egg dishes and eggs as sides. No egg-free marking system is visible on the menu. The allergen disclaimer says the kitchen handles nuts and shellfish and cannot guarantee completely allergen-free food. No specific egg-free accommodation is documented in the sources. Diners with egg allergies should inform staff.

Soy-containing items appear throughout the menu, with fermented chilli, miso, wakame, and edamame noted in some descriptions. No soy-free marking system is in place. The standard allergen disclaimer applies. No specific soy-free accommodation is documented. Guests with soy allergies should inform staff.

No low-FODMAP information or marking is present on the menu or in any source. Because the menu contains many high-FODMAP ingredients such as onion, garlic, legumes, and wheat-based sourdough, and no low-FODMAP information is provided on the menu or in any other source, this venue is not recommended for low-FODMAP diners without advance consultation.

No keto-specific information, marking, or accommodation is mentioned in any source. The menu includes carb-heavy items (pancakes, granola, bread, pasta, rice-based risotto). Not recommended for keto diners without advance planning.
