Adria Bar Restaurant

Multiple community reviews spanning several years confirm GF items are marked on the main menu and that staff are generally aware of coeliac requirements. However, the kitchen is not dedicated and fryer practice is demonstrably inconsistent: a symptomatic celiac reviewer (9 months ago) confirmed 'no dedicated fryer', while another (11 months ago) notes 'chips are sometimes cooked separately but on busy nights they mix everything — just be sure to ask.' A more recent symptomatic celiac (3 months ago) found 'fried items all being fried together with gluten items' when she specifically questioned staff. The venue is not Coeliac UK accredited (a UK body; unlikely applicable in Sydney). The only menu page scraped (the $35 lunch specials) displays no per-dish GF codes, but the main a la carte menu is consistently reported by community reviewers to carry GF markings.

Multiple community reviews spanning several years confirm GF items are marked on the main menu and that staff are generally aware of coeliac requirements. However, the kitchen is not dedicated and fryer practice is demonstrably inconsistent: a symptomatic celiac reviewer (9 months ago) confirmed 'no dedicated fryer', while another (11 months ago) notes 'chips are sometimes cooked separately but on busy nights they mix everything — just be sure to ask.' A more recent symptomatic celiac (3 months ago) found 'fried items all being fried together with gluten items' when she specifically questioned staff. The venue is not Coeliac UK accredited (a UK body; unlikely applicable in Sydney). The only menu page scraped (the $35 lunch specials) displays no per-dish GF codes, but the main a la carte menu is consistently reported by community reviewers to carry GF markings.

Honest caveat: Two symptomatic celiac reviewers (one 2 years ago, one 3 months ago) independently reported that fried items are unsafe despite GF menu markings — including a 'Best avoided!' warning after GF-marked chips and fried garnishes had to be sent back.
