Olive Oil & Butter

The venue maintains a dedicated vegan menu page listing multiple plant-based dishes (vegan moussaka, spanakopita, kalamboki, yemista, fakes, and vegan cakes). The homepage search snippet explicitly calls out 'Vegan & Gluten Free options'. No dedicated vegan kitchen or accreditation is evidenced; gluten-containing and animal-based items appear on the same menu, so cross-contamination risk exists. Staff awareness is implied by the prominence of vegan offerings.

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Multiple vegetarian and vegan dishes appear on the published menu (spanakopita, kalamboki, fasolakia, muesli, various cakes). The venue is a Greek café with meat and fish also served. No marked vegetarian symbols or dedicated prep area evidenced; shared kitchen assumed.

Pescatarian

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Several plant-based and egg/dairy-free dishes on the vegan menu would suit pescatarians, and the Greek cuisine style suggests fish dishes may be present, though the fetched text does not explicitly list fish items. The café clearly serves meat (lamb souvlaki, Greek sausage referenced in reviews), so pescatarians would need to select carefully from the menu.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 0.45 ·

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

The venue's homepage search snippet mentions 'Gluten Free options' and it appears in an AGFG listing of Melbourne Western Suburbs restaurants with gluten-free options. However, no per-dish GF markings are visible in the fetched menu text, and no structural information (dedicated fryer, dedicated prep area, staff training) is provided. Treat as available on request only; no deeper safety assurance is evidenced.

Reminder

Always confirm with venue staff before ordering. Tiers and accreditations are guides, not guarantees.
