Cat-themed Japanese cafe | neko Geelong

Gluten-free items are marked on the menu and the chef will accommodate coeliac requests—one coeliac diner reported a safe grilled chicken don. However, the kitchen is shared and there is no dedicated fryer, so cross-contamination is possible. Best for those who can tolerate some risk; call ahead to confirm current practices.
