Rufio
Rufio is a 100% dedicated gluten-free kitchen — no gluten-containing ingredients are used anywhere on the premises. The owners are coeliac themselves, and the entire menu (Latin fusion) is gluten-free, with a dedicated fryer noted by multiple diners. The venue's own website and several independent reviews confirm this. No Coeliac Australia accreditation is in place, but the structural fact of a completely gluten-free kitchen, combined with owner-led safety awareness, makes this a strongly trusted choice for coeliac diners.

Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.

Vegan
confidence 70% ·
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 is described as 'vegan friendly' with several dishes marked (V) on the brunch menu, and the venue states there are 'plenty of vegan options'. However, the kitchen is not fully vegan — meat and fish dishes (pork belly, swordfish) are also served — so cross-contact is possible. Staff are reported as helpful with dietary needs, but no dedicated vegan equipment or separate prep area is mentioned. Reliable for vegan options in a shared kitchen.

Limited information, Thin positive signal only: a stray menu callout, a single passing review mention, or generic dietary marketing without specifics. Not enough to assess kitchen practice. Call ahead and confirm before relying on it.
The menu includes a dish with 'Spiced Peanut Sauce', indicating peanuts are used in the kitchen. No nut-free options, dedicated equipment, or staff training around nut allergies are mentioned. This is a limited-information signal — call ahead to discuss nut allergy accommodation.

Limited information, Thin positive signal only: a stray menu callout, a single passing review mention, or generic dietary marketing without specifics. Not enough to assess kitchen practice. Call ahead and confirm before relying on it.
A single source mentions that the venue has 'plenty of vegan options to tick the dairy-free box', but no specific dairy-free menu items, kitchen practices, or staff training around dairy are described. No marked menu or dedicated equipment is noted. This is a thin signal — call ahead to confirm dairy-free options and cross-contact risk.
