Bellyfish Cafe

Bellyfish Cafe offers gluten-free bread and several GF-adaptable dishes (GF toast, fish & chips, burgers). The menu marks a few items as GF or GF-adaptable but the kitchen is shared and a notice states the kitchen contains allergens including gluten. A nutritionist blogger reported good quality GF bread and options; an Atly community source notes some risk of cross-contamination. Staff are described as helpful but no dedicated fryer or prep area is mentioned. Best for those who can manage some risk; coeliacs should confirm protocols directly with the kitchen.

Vegan

confidence 60% ·

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

The menu includes dedicated vegan items (Acai Bowl - Vegan, The 'O.G' Tofu Stack - Vegan, Fruit - GF & Vegan, Nourish Bowl - Vego). A Google reviewer reports that vegan options are available and the staff are helpful with allergens. The kitchen is shared and contains allergens including nuts and gluten. No dedicated vegan equipment is mentioned. Good for plant-based diners who can communicate their needs; coeliac-vegan combination requires extra caution.

Nut-free

confidence 50% ·

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

The venue's own menu states the kitchen contains 'allergens including nuts'. The granola and muesli items list almonds and other nuts. No nut-free protocol or dedicated equipment is mentioned. AGFG does not list nut-free as a feature. Best to call ahead for anyone with a nut allergy.

Dairy-free

confidence 50% ·

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

The menu does not mark dairy-free options directly, but a Google reviewer on Restaurant Guru mentions that dairy-free options are available and the staff can accommodate. The AGFG listing includes 'Dairy Free Options' as a feature category. No dedicated equipment or protocol for dairy cross-contamination is documented. Call ahead to confirm which dishes can be adapted and to discuss risk.

Sugar-free

confidence 40% ·

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

AGFG lists 'Sugar Free Options' as a feature category. No menu items are explicitly marked sugar-free in the sourced menu, and no other source corroborates this. Likely available on request; confirm directly with the venue.
