Vapiano Flinders Lane

Gluten-free items are marked on the menu (pasta, pizza, risotto, dessert reported). Multiple community reviewers confirm GF pasta is the safest option — pasta water is drained and refilled before cooking GF pasta in a separate area. However there is no dedicated fryer (reported by multiple reviewers), GF pizza is explicitly noted on the menu as not suitable for coeliacs due to shared oven cross-contamination, and one chain-branch incident involved a coeliac's pasta being served with regular bread then simply having the bread removed rather than remaking the dish. Shared kitchen space is acknowledged on the menu itself.

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

Gluten-free items are marked on the menu (pasta, pizza, risotto, dessert reported). Multiple community reviewers confirm GF pasta is the safest option — pasta water is drained and refilled before cooking GF pasta in a separate area. However there is no dedicated fryer (reported by multiple reviewers), GF pizza is explicitly noted on the menu as not suitable for coeliacs due to shared oven cross-contamination, and one chain-branch incident involved a coeliac's pasta being served with regular bread then simply having the bread removed rather than remaking the dish. Shared kitchen space is acknowledged on the menu itself.

Honest caveat: GF pizza is explicitly stated as not coeliac-safe (shared oven), and a chain-branch incident where a coeliac dish was contaminated with gluten bread and not remade was reported by multiple reviewers.

Vegetarian

confidence 0.50 ·

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

Multiple reviewers note vegetarian options are available; one FindMeGlutenFree community tag flags 'good vegetarian options'. The venue's own website emphasises made-to-order pasta, pizza and salads but does not detail allergen marking for vegetarian dishes specifically. Shared kitchen with meat dishes is the norm for a venue of this type.
