500 Degrees Restaurant Parramatta

The menu marks many items GF (gluten-free), including all steaks, ribs, several salads, sides, and the pumpkin steak. The venue’s website states that steaks ‘are gluten-free’ and ‘dairy-free upon request.’ A kitchen disclaimer warns that all food ‘may contain traces of gluten’ and cannot guarantee any item is completely allergen-free, indicating a shared kitchen with cross-contamination risk. This is a steakhouse that also serves breaded items (onion rings, salt & pepper squid) and bread-based starters in the same kitchen. Staff can guide diners to the marked GF options when a strictly gluten-free meal is requested, but coeliacs should assess their personal tolerance for shared-kitchen risk.

The menu clearly marks several vegetarian options with a 'v' tag, including the pumpkin steak, golden fennel gratinée, veggie platter, and multiple salads and sides. A plant-based burger is listed. However, this is primarily a steakhouse and the vegetarian dishes are prepared in a shared kitchen with meat. Staff can guide you to the marked vegetarian choices.

Some menu items are marked DF (dairy-free) including several sauces, the pumpkin steak, the veggie platter, and many salads and sides. The premium steaks section says 'Dairy-free upon request.' However, the kitchen shares space with dairy-heavy dishes (cheese-loaded starters, creamy sides, cheesecake desserts) and the generic allergen disclaimer warns of dairy traces. Ask your server about DF preparation for your chosen dish.

Several items are labelled both 'v' and 'df', suggesting vegan-friendly options exist. The pumpkin steak, for instance, is marked (v, gf, df), as is the veggie platter. Some sides, including chips, sweet chips, herb rice, and roasted rosemary potatoes, carry the same (v, gf, df) designation. No items are explicitly marked vegan on the menu. The kitchen is shared, and dishes may use butter, cream, or eggs, so staff should be consulted to confirm that a chosen dish is fully plant-based.
