Cat-themed Japanese cafe | neko Geelong

Several dishes are explicitly vegan. Examples include Neko's Signature Curry with fried tofu and Crispy Tofu Donburi, plant-based milks are available, and the staff are knowledgeable about vegan diets. Cross-contact is possible from a shared kitchen.

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. The restaurant is best for those who can tolerate some risk. A call ahead can confirm current practices.

The cafe serves vegetarian fare. Its menu includes lacto-ovo dishes such as avocado toast and soba noodle salad, along with other vegetable-based meals. There is no dedicated vegetarian preparation area.

Soy, oat, and almond milks are offered for drinks, and some dishes can also be made dairy-free, but the kitchen and all equipment are not dedicated to dairy-free preparation, so there is no separate space or tools for these items.
