Recess Bar + Eats

confidence 0.88 ·

Verifiably Safe, Either a 100% dedicated kitchen (no allergen on premises) or actively certified by a recognised accreditation body for this allergen.

Recess Bar + Eats is Geelong's only Coeliac Australia accredited gluten-free restaurant, per the venue's own homepage. The site states: 'Dining at Geelong's only Coeliac Australia accredited gluten-free restaurant means you're dining with peace of mind knowing your food has been prepared safely.' The bottomless brunch menu also marks individual dishes with GF codes (e.g. 'Buttermilk fried chicken w/ sriracha lime aioli (GF)', 'French fries w/ fry sauce (VT, GF)'), consistent with a kitchen-wide GF operation. Confidence capped below 0.9 as the Coeliac Australia directory itself was not directly fetched to verify current certification status.

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

The bottomless brunch menu marks 'French fries w/ fry sauce' as VT (vegetarian), indicating at least some allergen/dietary marking exists. However, the menu is otherwise a mixed menu containing meat and fish dishes, and no dedicated vegetarian prep area or broader vegetarian marking is documented. Confidence is low given only the brunch menu was fetched.
