Opera Bar

Menu marks individual dishes GF (e.g. Sydney Rock Oysters GF/DF, Tiger Prawn Cocktail GF/DF, Grilled Swordfish DF/GF, Grilled Steak GF/DF). The venue's own disclaimer states the kitchen 'handles nuts, shellfish, and gluten' and cannot guarantee allergen-free food. FindMeGlutenFree community reports no dedicated fryer. Multiple coeliac reviewers report GF items available and staff willing to add a coeliac note to orders, but at least one recent reviewer (6 months ago) reports 'no GF pizza' and describes it as 'really, really poor choice for coeliacs', while another advises only the raw bar is coeliac-safe.

Multiple clearly pescatarian options exist (seafood dishes, vegetarian pizzas and salads), and the VG/V/DF marking system helps identify them. No explicit 'pescatarian' marking, but the combination of fish dishes and vegetarian-marked items provides adequate guidance. Shared kitchen with meat (pork, chicken, beef).
