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

Vegie Bar is a fully vegetarian and vegan restaurant with an extensive menu of plant-based dishes; all cakes are stated to be '100% plant based', and the venue markets itself as a leading Melbourne vegan restaurant. No dedicated vegan-only kitchen exists as vegetarian (non-vegan) dishes are also served.

The venue website references dairy-free options and the restaurant markets inclusivity for dairy-free diets; one community reviewer noted it is 'good for dairy-free'. The kitchen is shared with some dairy-containing vegetarian dishes (e.g. vegan cheese alternatives alongside possible dairy-containing items), so cross-contamination risk is not eliminated.

Not appropriate, Documented unsafe, multiple negative reports, or refuses to accommodate. Surfaced to warn rather than recommend.

Menu has gluten-free items marked, but no dedicated fryer and shared prep areas. Multiple coeliac reviewers reported becoming violently ill after eating labelled GF items, including one incident where staff gave false assurance of separate fryers that turned out to be shared.

Honest caveat: At least four independent coeliac reviewers on FindMeGlutenFree report documented reactions after eating labelled GF items, including severe illness lasting a week — this venue is not safe for coeliac disease.
