Times Cranbourne Cafe and Restaurant

Several dishes are marked VG. These include the Mushroom Medley, Zucchini & Halloumi Fritters, Super Food Salad, Nourish Bowl, and a vegetarian Nasi Goreng option, but the marked items give clear choices despite possible cross-contact from the shared kitchen. Staff are accustomed to vegetarian requests.

The menu marks a few dishes as GF (Hash Benny, Super Food Salad, Nourish Bowl, Pork Belly Skewer, Pan Seared Salmon, and Angus Porterhouse), but the kitchen shares space with wheat-based items like toast, croissants, sourdough, and battered fish. No dedicated fryer or separate prep area is mentioned. Staff can accommodate when asked, but cross-contamination risk remains. Calling ahead to discuss specific needs is recommended.

The menu marks a few dishes as VG for vegetarian, though none are explicitly labelled vegan. The Nourish Bowl and Super Food Salad could be adapted, but items like halloumi, eggs, and dairy appear throughout. Staff can accommodate when asked, but there is no dedicated vegan menu or protocol. Calling ahead is advised.

The menu is heavy on cheese, butter, cream, and hollandaise, with no dairy-free markings. Some dishes like the Nourish Bowl or Super Food Salad could be modified, but the kitchen is not set up for dairy-free prep. Staff can discuss options when asked. Call ahead to confirm.

Eggs feature heavily across the menu, appearing poached, fried, scrambled, in benedicts, fritters, and as add-ons, yet no egg-free markings exist anywhere on the menu. A few dishes can be ordered without egg, such as the Nourish Bowl or Super Food Salad, but the kitchen is not set up for egg-free preparation. Staff can accommodate when asked.

The menu includes hazelnut dukkah, walnut crumble, and activated almonds, suggesting nuts are present in the kitchen. No nut-free markings or dedicated protocols are mentioned. Staff can discuss allergies when asked, but cross-contamination risk is real. Call ahead.

The menu lists prawn linguine, Nasi Goreng with prawn, and fish tacos with battered fish. No items are marked as shellfish-free. Staff can discuss allergies if asked, though cross-contamination from shared fryers and prep areas remains possible. Calling ahead is recommended.
