Captain Gummys Fish & Chips Frankston

Frankston · Fast food · €

Captain Gummys Fish & Chips Frankston is a family-run fish and chip shop where one of the owners has coeliac disease. The shop operates a dedicated gluten-free fryer and prep area and offers a separate gluten-free menu. Staff are reported to be knowledgeable about cross-contamination. However, the kitchen is not 100% dedicated; a shared hotplate is used for burgers. There is no formal accreditation from Coeliac Australia. A single older review reports getting sick on two of three visits. It is wise to confirm practices on the day.

Frankston · Vegetarian · Cafe · €⁠€

Nature Cafe Bar is a fully vegan café. The venue's own menu page states desserts are 'made without animal products', the homepage says 'vegan dishes', and multiple third-party listings confirm it is a 'fully vegan cafe' using 100% plant-derived ingredients. No meat, dairy, eggs, or honey are used in the kitchen.

Le Feu Signature Frankston GF | Gluten-free Hot Pot & Vietnamese, Pan-Asian Restaurant

Frankston · Vietnamese · €⁠€

The venue's own website states that vegetarian, Low FODMAP, and No-Pork options are available, and notes that the menu is influenced by Buddhist tradition with many vegetarian choices. A DoorDash listing confirms specific dishes marked as both gluten-free and vegetarian, such as dumplings. As a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, the cross-contamination risk for vegetarian dishes is structurally low, but the kitchen does serve meat including beef pho and pork dishes, making the accommodation menu-based rather than a fully vegetarian setup.

WILDNESS

Frankston · Cafe · Brunch · €⁠€⁠€⁠€

The menu uses a 'V' key for vegan dishes, and several items are tagged as vegan. An aggregator also lists 'Vegan Options'. No cross-contact details exist, and because there is no information on shared equipment or cross-contact controls, the kitchen setup is unclear. Vegan diners can pick from marked dishes but should confirm with staff.

Madam Mekong Vietnamese Food

Frankston · Vietnamese · €

Madam Mekong has a gluten-free menu. The menu clearly marks gluten-free items, and they use a dedicated fryer along with other specialized equipment, but since the kitchen is shared and not a dedicated gluten-free facility, cross-contamination risk exists. Knowledgeable staff offer ingredient sheets. Still, several user reviews report positive experiences for coeliac diners, but caution is always advised due to the potential cross-contamination risk from the shared kitchen.

eeny meeny

Frankston · Cafe · Brunch · €⁠€

Eeny Meeny is not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, but the menu marks GF and GFO items, and multiple community reviews report dedicated fryers, a dedicated waffle iron, and staff who are knowledgeable about coeliac disease and cross-contamination. The venue is a shared kitchen, so cross-contamination risk exists, but the consistent positive reports from coeliac diners suggest a reliable option when staff are informed.

The Laughing Lark Cafe

Frankston · Cafe · €⁠€

The AGFG listing notes that the cafe offers vegetarian options. The cafe's own website describes an extensive menu that caters to everybody, and photos show dishes such as smashed avocado and eggs benedict. No dedicated vegetarian fryer or prep area is mentioned. For a standard cafe, offering vegetarian dishes in a shared kitchen is typical. Vegetarians should find several options.

Martini and Co | Bayside Frankston

Frankston · Grill · Pizza · €⁠€

Many menu items are vegetarian. The menu lists Sweet Potato Frites, Santorini Salad, Pumpkin & Sage Ravioli, Stackin' Up pizza, Choco Chip Pikelets, Belgian Sweet Escape, and I'm A Vego pizza, all marked as 'Vegetarian'. The online ordering page includes a 'Vegetarian' filter. Because the kitchen is shared, the venue cannot guarantee allergen-free preparation. For vegetarians, who follow a dietary preference rather than a severe allergy, the main risk is accidental non-vegetarian ingredients rather than cross-contamination, which is much lower risk in this context.

YOMG Frankston

Frankston · Burgers · Vegan

The menu identifies vegan burgers, fries, and frozen yoghurt. A HappyCow reviewer notes separate cooking facilities for vegan items, though the frozen yoghurt toppings are not marked, which requires caution in the self-serve area. The chain allergen guide warns of cross-contact, as vegan items are prepared in a shared kitchen.

6 Nutrition

Frankston · Cafe · €⁠€⁠€

The Spinach guide rates this venue 'Outstanding for vegans' and gives it a VFI grade A. The guide notes many vegan options (5-10 dishes) with a clearly marked menu. On Uber Eats, multiple items are tagged VG (vegan), including the Delux Acai Bowl, High Protein Cacao Bowl, Organic Black Forest Porridge, Vegan Jackfruit Taco, and Vegan Big Breaky. Non-dairy milk is available for coffee. The Spinach guide does flag that some users reported vegan options aren't always available, suggesting some inconsistency. The kitchen is shared, so vegans should confirm specific dishes are still vegan on the day.

Iron River Bar & Grill - Frankston

Frankston · Grill · Steak

Iron River Bar & Grill offers gluten-free options. They serve burgers with gluten-free buns, fries from a dedicated fryer, and pork ribs, and staff reportedly ask if you're coeliac so they can take extra care. Yet the kitchen is shared. Since the venue isn't a dedicated gluten-free facility, cross-contamination is possible, and on top of that, the menu isn't marked for any allergens at all. Call ahead to discuss your needs.

Ginseng Modern Asian Cuisine

Frankston · Chinese · €⁠€

The menu marks many items GFO or GF, and the owner is described as knowledgeable about coeliac needs, able to adapt most dishes using gluten-free soy sauce. Staff are accommodating and will check sauces. However, the kitchen states it cannot prevent cross-contamination, and this is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. Best for confident coeliacs willing to discuss needs with staff in advance.

Frankston Waterfront Restaurant

Frankston · Seafood · Cafe · €⁠€⁠€

Several dishes are marked vegetarian. The menu uses a V symbol for these, and the venue confirms it can accommodate vegetarian needs, even though the kitchen is shared and they're aware of dietary requirements. AGFG listings also tag it as vegetarian-friendly.

FRATELLI Frankston

Frankston · Italian · Pizza · €⁠€

The venue offers a dedicated vegan menu with a wide selection of dishes, including pizzas, pastas, and risottos, and provides plant-milk alternatives for hot drinks. One DoorDash review describes a mix-up where a vegan pizza looked identical to a regular one, requiring a re-order, which suggests the kitchen relies on careful order-picking rather than visual differentiation. Cross-contact with animal products is possible in a shared kitchen that also serves meat and cheese. Vegan diners should confirm their order with staff.

Waves on the Beach Restaurant

Frankston · Seafood · €⁠€

The menu uses (gf) for gluten-free items. A separate Gluten-Free Menu also exists, but the kitchen is shared and the venue explicitly warns it cannot guarantee trace-element-free meals, so proceed with caution. Community reviews confirm a dedicated fryer for chips, helpful staff, and good experiences for coeliac diners. The venue itself makes no safety guarantees. Best for less-sensitive gluten-free diners. Celiacs should call ahead.

Pho A Chau

4 Shannon Street Mall · Vietnamese · €⁠€

On the Uber Eats menu, five stir-fry items carry a plain-text note that reads 'contains peanuts'. The restaurant does not mention any peanut-free preparation area or procedures to prevent cross-contamination. Staff members can identify which dishes contain peanuts if a customer asks, but the use of shared fryers is not addressed.

Frankston RSL

Frankston ·

The venue lists gluten-free options on its TripAdvisor features. Some menu items can be modified. One diner reported that a gluten-free meal arrived with bread on the plate and chips that tasted like fish, which suggests cross-contact from a shared fryer. No dedicated fryer or separate prep area is confirmed. It is best to call ahead and discuss needs with staff.

The Hop Shop

Frankston · Tacos · Bar · €⁠€

The Atly listing and a community member's review describe the venue as 'completely gluten free' and 'celiac friendly', with a large selection of gluten-free beers. However, the venue's own website and menu do not mention any gluten-free or coeliac-specific offerings, and there is no evidence of a dedicated kitchen or staff training. A Wanderlog review describes the food as Mexican-style tacos and sides (typically containing wheat). The HappyCow and Wikipedia sources are irrelevant. The signal is mixed and thin. Call ahead to confirm kitchen practices with staff.

One Pear Tree

Frankston · Cafe · Brunch · €⁠€

One Pear Tree is listed on directory pages as a venue with gluten-free options, and its menu includes a 'veggie vegan bowl'. A community review reports that the Benedict breakfast, advertised as gluten-free, has hash browns cooked in a shared fryer with gluten-containing food. The kitchen is shared and cross-contamination risk is not formally managed. It is best to call ahead before relying on a gluten-free meal.

Hotel Paradiso

Frankston · Pizza

A single coeliac diner reports no reaction after calling ahead and confirming the gluten-free pizza is prepared and cooked separately. However, the venue does not have a dedicated gluten-free menu, is not a dedicated facility, and no formal cross-contact protocols or staff training are documented. Practice may vary by shift; call ahead and confirm before ordering.

Rosie's Kitchen Pantry

Frankston South · Cafe · Brunch · €⁠€

Third-party listings describe the venue as offering vegetarian options, including homemade items such as apple cinnamon muffins and lasagna. No details on dedicated equipment or cross-contamination protocols are available; confirm directly with the kitchen.

beach162 Restaurant, Cafe, Bar

Frankston · Cafe

Tourism directories and gluten-free listicles claim gluten-free options.

Call ahead to confirm current practices.

Mama Lee's Asian Cuisine

64 Young St · Chinese · €⁠€

A third-party directory lists gluten-free options as available, though no marked menu, dedicated kitchen or fryer, or detail on cross-contamination handling is mentioned. Calling ahead to discuss needs with staff is advisable.
